I see you specialize in non sequiters.

Ask a question that makes sense AND respond to my statement that pretty much wiped out your entire line of what passes in somce circles as "argumentation" and I may answer.

But you have some pretty serious shoring up to do first (actually impossible but it is always fun to watch your type try).

Well put. Just like there are COUNTLESS examples of transitional species proving beyond question evolutionary theory. I mean besides the "fuzzy" bird that is, well, a bird.

I'm no fan of evolution by any stretch, but Mr. Comfort needs to pick on someone his own size. Arguing with someone as uneducated and absurd as Bill Maher is like picking on the mentally challenged kid next door.

Sheesh.

A chid of 12 can smash ID with the basic facts. This will make Maher look much smarter than he is.

Natural Selection is not evolution.

Tell me; I'm open. How did a unicellular life form "evolve" in to a human being by way of random genetic variation and some sort of natural selection etc. etc. Have you observrd the process? OR DO YOU TAKE IT ON SOMEBODY ELSE'S SAY-SO?

I actually think that Maher is rather bright and sort of funny.

That doesn't stop me from despising him and refusing to watch anything with him in it or on it ever since a few days after 9-11. He is a left wing anti-American who has completely disrespected our Troops and much more.

I even disrespect Ann Coulter for going on his a$$hole program a while back.

Depends on how tightly focused the debate is. Remember the Gish Gallop. Debate is the preferred medium for sophists. Normal, honest, people prefer Internet fora, journals, etc, where you can sit back and make comparisons with research, consult coleagues, etc.

Some of the CRIDers, Gish, Ham and Hovind come to mind, have consistently refused to participate in on-line debates or discussions. It's a lot easier to spew five falsehoods a minute, when your opponent needs five minutes just to get the background info together.

"A chid of 12 can smash ID with the basic facts."

And a "chid" of 6 can correctly spell "child" by using a basic spell checker.

Sorry, but you walked right into that one - and deserved it. :-)

I'll try to find the best link for you. You need to learn the theory before you can fight it.

Have you observrd the process? OR DO YOU TAKE IT ON SOMEBODY ELSE'S SAY-SO?

Have you observed the Red Shift personally? Have you seen which forces are responsible for Uranus' and Pluto's odd orbits? Have you personally SEEN the aerodynamics which hold a plane aloft?

Your premise is flawed.

That's a 15 yard penalty for using 'Bill Maher' and 'intelligent' in the same sentence.

If you have to ask, you may be the idiot.
