That is ironic.

Evolution My ToE

All of them have been refuted. Numerous times. It is a ritual you make everyone go through.
I am confused.
Sure twice this time, but with practice and lots of repetition, I bet it can be refuted as much as 10 times before it is shelved to be brought back up later as If it has never before been seen again.
What?
Is he speaking or isn't he? Which is it? Do you know him personally? Would he lie about that?
Why ask a question that has never been a consideration for you before?Is there a talk to the palm emoji. Or is that rudeness...

He did a Gish Gallop. He did not even pay attention to the quotes he grabbed from creationist websites. I refuted one of them, but it appears he copied and pasted without reading or understanding so the refutation went over his head. He had no clue as to what I was posting about because he did not understand his own post.
Would a mirror help? In understanding what a Gish Gallup is and how it is a form of deceitful tactic to swamp other people in a debate or disussion. Like your quote mining, it is used in place of factual and rational points of discussion by those that have none.I really should. Try talking to a door some time.
What does the 'evidence indicate' with regard to the *yes, I'm going to ask it* Cambrian fossil record?
So, instead of answering the question honestly and directly you are admitting to using a confusing ploy to disrupt the discussion. We are discussing biological evolution on a thread that YOU started about biological evolution. How did you come to think this thread is about some other subject? Your response does not make any sense. It sounds like another tactic employed by a person that recognizes they do not have the facts and reason on their side.
Shouldn't you know, since you claim it refuted evolution? Considering your claim, I expect you to be a local expert in the Cambrian fossils and how they show that the theory of evolution is incorrect. As well as apoptosis and sexual selection. No links to science made up by the church either. Your clear and unambiguous explanations in your own words.
I think his ignorance of science, evidence, logical fallacies, communication, debate, discussion and arrogance are very well established. Ironic, considering his efforts have been the driving force in that establishment.
is it too much to ask you to answer questions that people ask you? Considering you have made claims that others do not answer your questions, I would think that you would be enthusiastic to set a positive example to point out and encourage others to follow. It would be the right thing to do.
It is a disappointing reality that these discussions always end up following Weitzenhoffer's Law.

Okay, I cannot find that one.
You know it. It is just not usually presented under the originators name.
Debating creationists on the topic of evolution is rather like trying to play chess with a pigeon -- it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory.

Just once, I would love to have a creationist give the honest response that they have no valid scientific objection to evolution, but simply reject it from belief and because their church says they have to.

Evolution theory makes an almost countless amount of testable predictions.
Each of these can be tested. Every successfull test serves as a confirmation of the theory.
Every genome sequences, every fossil found,... serves as a test of the theory.
We don't find mammals with feathers. We don't find rabbits in pre-cambrian rock. We don't find genomes that break the phylogenetic nested hierarchies.

He is referring to Pigeon Chess
Though I can honestly say I have never before heard it referred to as Weitzenhoffer's Law.
