Listen Bliss...you told me that posting links doesnt cut it.
And I'll tell you why...
It takes you a matter of seconds to post a link, but it takes me or my equivalent a much longer time to sift through an entire webpage debunking it, not to mention an entire website. Simply posting the front page of AiG doesn't cut it because I'm not going to spend hours of my time nitpicking their entire website for you. If you want to discuss
specific pieces of evidence, then by all means, do it. It might be good for you to start addressing the falsifying evidence as well.
Furthermore, you should know that AiG is not a reputable source of information, as I already pointed out to you. They admit flat out that they omit and/or ignore and/or disort any evidence that does not automatically serve their preconceived conclusion. That means they are not doing science and they are operating dishonestly.
All the evidence is there, allready organized and presented. WHy should i write it all out on a forum just so you dont have to spend the little extra energy to click the link.
It's not that I won't look at a link (read my reasoning above). If you are just going to post a link flat out rather than posting your argument with a link as a support, you aren't trying very hard. You aren't the one expending the little extra energy to flesh out your argument.
You are the one making the claim, you are the one who should do the research to substantiate your claim.
Would you rather i post every page? read the stuff. Evedence links up with creation account in gensis. of course you have to read Genisis to know that.
I have read Genesis and I have read many arguments promoted by AiG and none of them withstand the careful scrutiny that creationists are unwilling and/or unable to give them.
What I would rather you do is to post your argument IN YOUR OWN WORDS and use links to substantiate it if you so choose. Spamming with miscellaneous links to AiG doesn't require much effort at all. It indicates that you aren't thinking about the issue YOURSELF and are just posting a link.
I dont know why you expect me to reserch for you when you wont even look at the links i present. AiG is a very good site for these things...i suggest you go to it.

It's dishonest to say I won't even look at your links. I will if you present more specific claims. Just linking to a list and expecting me to spend hundreds of times the amount of time it took you to post a link debunking it is entirely unreasonable. Just as it would be unreasonable for me to just post a blank link to talkorigins.org and say "there you go." That's not good enough. Put yourself in my shoes for a minute and maybe you'll understand.
AiG is NOT a good site for information for the reasons above and you are expected to research your own claims for the reasons above. I don't think it's unreasonable.
If you want to do this in a more reasonable fashion in the ways I specified above, then that's fine. But simply linking to the front page of AiG doesn't cut it.
