So snark is an example of knowing 10x more about communication? I've seen it before from you, many times. It seems to me that if you are going to claim superiority over Mab in science and communication skills, you should also demonstrate it by showing superiority in science and communication skills or you will be perceived by others as being the only one who thinks so. And if that's what you want, then I guess your communication skills are fine. Otherwise, it's a communication fail.
Just saying. |
Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Instead your ignoring it like you always do when you have no reply, Mr. Communition. I expect when you do that it is in your mind demonstrating your abilities. It doesn't to me.
You problem is getting your science facts from the bible which is not a good idea and bound to require null answers when discussing real science. I'm not hopeful for any change in you approach to discussions here.
If you haven't already you should consider how your talents are perfect for flying off to a third world undereducated location and convincing the uneducated locals your god's gift to enlightenment. Your wasting your time here. Come to think of it maybe you have. That would explain your reply above.

Sailingsoul post formula (regardless of topic):
contribute nothing. Check
attack religion. Check
Yaaaawn

Your reply proved nothing, good job. As usual instead of exhibiting your 10x communication skills, Mr. Communication, your resorted to ignoring direct questions you can't answer.
And another thing! As far as anything in my post attacking religion, I disparaged you getting your science facts from the bible. As the good Doctor stated about your complete misreading of his posts I too can say, You obviously have a reading comprehension problem, if this is your conclusion of what I wrote. I attacked no religion as "The Bible" is NOT a religion, numbnuts. Of those being out of touch with reality on this forum you are only surpassed by Dennis Mabus.

If I'm a troll then so are 90% of your members Dave. The only difference is that I'm not ideologically in your corner so you don't tolerate me as much. As far as being "back into trolling mode", I fail to see any difference in my style over the 10+ years of being here. Maybe you have just become older and more cranky? |

It's a bit hard to prove you know more about science when you're talking to people who also know less about science. As for communication what would you propose? If you come up with a feasible test, we can continue, until then stop being silly and challenging people to things that can't be proven in the medium of an internet forum.
Also I nominate you for worst communicator of skepticism. |

Actually, second prize goes to member verlch, a misogynistic YEC theist hooked on conspiracies, with no concept of science at all. Dave even made an extensive list of various unevidenced claims verlch made but never bothered to support.
On Fire for Christ do have moments of clarity in which he can see the light of reason. I really like those moments when it looks like he's getting the hang on things.
But also every now and then I get the impression that he's been to some Bible-study or similar Bible-is-awesome-but-science-is-bunk seminar, and then returns here to parrot the science-is-bunk part believing he's stumbled upon some radical truth the rest of us are not privy to. Seemingly energized, full of Holy Spirit. Those times I feel a twinge of despair.
The chromosome count episode is one of those moments.

No, the difference is that others here are willing to support their contentious statements, address evidence and answer questions.| As far as being "back into trolling mode", I fail to see any difference in my style over the 10+ years of being here. |
Hence my "if he ever left it" clause. I thought I saw a hint of substantiality on your part in your chromosome 2 thread, but I guess I was wrong to hope for a serious discussion from you.| Maybe you have just become older and more cranky? |
No, my youthful idealism just made me expect too much from you. It won't happen again. |

By all means, show me your superiority by answering the 22 questions yourself. Or better yet, use my post and show us where I was wrong.

This afternoon I went swimming. I try to do that at least once a week, to get exercize. While there, my thoughts can wonder all over the place, and today I had an epiphany.

I finally got it! It's sarcasm. Self-reflective, and admitting that his knowledge of science really isn't that good. That's why On fire for Christ will never stand up to the challence of answering those 22 questions.
It feels like I have a Temperence Brennan-moment (you know, from "Bones"). |
