No, he did not. He posted a *HYPOTHETICAL EXCHANGE*, clearly marked as such (e.g., it was introduced with, "OK, let's say that we are in a creationism debate, OK?"), in which he was making the point that it *would* be intellectually dishonest for him to challenge someone to "prove their theory" (among other things).

You are not too quick on the uptake. I was sick of Aric2000 sniping from the sidelines and disrupting debates so I decided to give him a dose of his own medicine.

That is the nature of sideline sniping – jumping in with unrelated and often incorrect statements that force the person that is actually debating to address the sniping thus turning the debate into a meaningless food fight.

Uh huh... In order to properly characterize his posts properly, it would help if you *understood* them first

Sorry to embarrass you, but you are the one that did not understand.

BTW: your “biological evolution has no connection to cosmology” is a snipe. It is a factually incorrect statement meant to disrupt the debate.

Ah, riiiiigghhhtt... The old "no, I wasn't being stupid, I was being, um, *ironic*, yeah, *that's* it..." excuse.

Sure, I buy that. You betcha.

No, actually, it's your grossly inaccurate twisting of what I *actually* wrote.

Why are you anti-evolutionist zealots always so fond of making up false "quotes"?
