Yeah, he never changes his tune. Still with the "evolution is an a priori assumption" garbage.

It is actually kind of sad when he goes back to the creationist only section. He tries to get people there interested in genetics, and they couldn't care less. Then after a while (after declaring he is tired of debating with evolutionists) he comes back here and rehashes the same arguemnts all over again. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

Yeah, I went over there and asked why he keeps running away from my responses, and apparently a team of Christians tripped over each other to 'report' me for posting in the Christian only forum, where Kennedy has run to hide in to avoid responding to my demolition of his flimsy, silly position.

If you get censored from the Christians-only forum, I'm sure you could find a friendly Christian to keep channelling your message ;)

As-salam Alaikum trollers,

For a guy who doesn't post here much anymore I sure get a lot of attention. At any rate, SLP saw fit to start a thread with my name on it and never bothered to drop me a line telling me he started it, then he posts some shallow insult that I was ignoring it, which is absurd. He did pop his head into the Creationism forum once to comment on the Human Brain/ Null hypothesis thread...gee...it must have been a year ago. He didn't say much and he is usually pretty amusing so I was happy to see him there.

The debates have pretty much ran there course for me, I've learned everything I wanted to and my core arguments have never been successfully refuted. I am still amazed at how the ERV thing crumbled like a house of cards and how you have almost unanimously retreated to ad hominem attacks.

It's not like you no longer interest me, please don't take it that way. It's that I'm now serving in Afghanistan and have very little time for your childish mockery of religious convictions you know nothing about. I responded to SLP's brief remarks explaining that I had only recently discovered the thread and he only responded once to me briefly.

I would really love to get into this again some time but it's not easy being the only one who does the work. Anyway, flame at will but I will be in the other thread while I wait for the good Professor to return with his childish antics.

ma'a salama,
Mark

Cute.

Eh? This is a pretty Hovind-esque claim to make. From what I've seen from your so-called arguments, they've been soundly evicerated time and again.

Your claims about human brain evolution is basically a giant argument from incredulity and therefore fallicious from the get-go.

You current claims about human-chimp ancestry somehow resting on a percentage difference while completely ignoring the fact that different measurements have been made based on different comparative metrics is equally fallicious.

I'll grant you the ERV claim but only in the context of the debate based on your opponent making erroneous claims from the available. (Which also btw, I pointed out despite your claims that evolutionists never correct other evolutionists.) The larger arguement, that homologous ERV insertions form a pattern consistent with common descent is completely unchallenged.

And as to your claims of evolution being some sort of propaganstic anti-Christian materialistic philosophy. That's just being silly.

Anyway, that's just the two cents coming from this "troll".

Good luck in Afghanistan and stay safe.
