Anytime you can sucker your debate opponent into questioning the measurment of the speed of light you are ahead.

If you can sucker them into simultaneously demanding authoritative sources and rejecting authoritative sources you are ahead.

It matters not who is louder and posts more.

Thanks for the reaffirming recapitulation of the debate scenario on this thread. We shall all together place you as the highest judge of these matters, who, at the end of the debate, may scientifically declare the winner. You've given ample demonstration of your unbiased nature and are certain to be given high praise for your intelligence, wherever it came from.

I think it's remarkable in an utterly bizarre kind of way. I've never before seen a person try to win a debate by arguing he's so clueless about grade-school science that he can't understand any of it; that therefore he would have to take any scientific finding on faith; and that therefore, scientific theories are simply a matter of faith.

It truly is argumentum ad stupidum.

Somewhere in here you assume the lurkers are not idiots and rest your case.
