This is comedic gold already.
Loudmouth proposes that we debate the cause of the advent of humans, and only rely on empirical evidence.
Yes, how dare he ask that we only rely on evidence that can be verified! What an unreasonable request. In a debate, people should be allowed to make up whatever they want, and provide no support for it whatsoever!
Oh, wait, no. That's the exact opposite of how any debate should go!
In addition, he provisions that we limit our citation of empirical evidence to peer-reviewed papers.
Yes! Because in a formal scientific debate, you should be able to quote from random blogs on the internet and Wikipedia articles.
Oh, wait, no. That's not how any real debate works, and if you tried it in a live debate, you'd be laughed out of the room.
HA HA HA.
In addition to that, only peer reviewed papers sourced from a specific repository of peer reviewed papers.
Actually, no. Loudmouth gave some examples of repositories, but he never limited Peter to them.
Perhaps he would like to further constrict our sources of scientific reference to his uncle Jeff in Cincinatti?
Can he get through one post without a try at being funny? I get the impression that Peter really thinks he's the funniest dude ever. You can tell in almost every post, he just thinks he's so witty.
Thankfully our arguments will be both scientific, and philosophical.
Um, no. There's a philosophy forum on this site. This isn't it.
I will endeavor to answer Loudmouth with truth and grace that includes verifiable knowledge and sound logical reason.
Oh, so you will be using empirical evidence, then. What was the problem?
