Incessant repetition of faulty reasoning isn't going to convince nor force a rational person to abandon rationality.

You do not argue very rational yourself. You keep going for logical fallacies (especially THIS one) and when your claims are refuted you just ignore it and move on to the next thread.

We call that; cognitive dissonance.

This video shows how this motor is programmed to accurately and methodically assemble itself.

How about you respond to questions that people have asked you before you start posting new information.

 

[Radrook]

The perennial question which is continually evaded is where did the information which is programmed into the DNA in order to get such a biotech machine assembled originate?

That is always answered vaguely with:

"The chemicals did it!"

or else

"What information? I don't see any information!""

Such responses answer nothing but simply place logic on hold in order to evade.

Never mind; if Radrook wants to abandon ID in favor of some form of theistic evolution it's definitely a sensible move and we shouldn't hassle him about it.

I never made such a claim.

I don't respond because there is NOTHING you can say to convince me that what is observed in nature is the result of mindless chemicals.

Oh. I guess that means all threads that you post on this issue are pointless.

What a shame: I like discussing this with you.

It all seems a bit pointless, now.

Well, I guess then you know how I feel when discussing the matter with atheists.

The difference is that we don't claim to have absolute knowledge. Since I want to know as many true things and as few false things as possible, I am very much open to be convinced. If someone could actually prove that a god exist I would be ecstatic.

That's not the impression I get.

Your impressions are irrelevant in this case. Unless you want to call me a liar?

That's weird. Does that matter?

You're aware, I'm sure that not all of the people who are challenging you on this and many other threads are devout Christians?

You're being disingenuous.

Well, since time and energy are limited it matters. Please note that I once spent six whole months debating with atheists on another website only to have them finally admit that they were refusing to see any of my arguments as feasible because of a deeply engrained aversion to anything that might even remotely smack of the supernatural or religious.

During the whole six months they had vehemently claimed inability to see or to understand, requested constant meticulous explanations for the obvious, and then resumed with mockery and mutual back-patting.

Then finally and mercifully, after those six-months of cunning and hypocritical posturing, they finally and calmly divulged that regardless of the validity of any argument-they would still tag it as unacceptable because of their bitter opposition to religion in society. In fact, I had one of them recently recognize me here at CF and say "You are still at it huh?"

So the question is-who indeed is being disingenuous?

You are.

That's nonsense. My post attributed no claim to you--it was a conditional, an if/then statement.

Please tell us about the video and what you feel it shows, with specifics please.

 

[bhsmte]

That's not the impression I get.

You can always give examples (post numbers) of others claiming to have absolute knowledge. Whenever you are ready.

 

[bhsmte]

How about you respond to questions that people have asked you before you start posting new information.

That would be far too risky.

Since when is atheism a requirement for membership in the scientific community?

You seem confused. The post you are quoting has nothing to do with atheism.

Neither does the evolution of the flagellum...
