I think that in this case AV doesn't know what to do with ideas like the age of the earth.
^_^ -- I have 2134.5 times more posts than you have.

You have no idea how I handle ideas like the age of the earth, do you?

You might want to take a gander at my profile.

Perhaps that will give you a clue.

I can honestly say that number is essentially meaningless, given that it is no indication of the QUALITY of your posts.

However, I will state that as far as I am aware, you were pretty set in stone YEC, and tended to make verbal merry-go-rounds in discussions about it.

Precisely.

Somewhere between Creation Today and Reasons To Believe

Then you're liable to make the same mistake he did.

Telling someone something to the effect of:
I think that in this case AV doesn't know what to do with ideas like the age of the earth.
... when embedded in his post count is about a hundred or so times he's explained it.

Not to mention threads like this one:
I'll take questions on Embedded Age Creation:

  1. Definition = maturity without history
  2. Method = creatio ex nihilo
  3. Unique features:
    • requires omnipotence
    • laws of science not in effect
    • occurred BC4004 (according to Ussher's dating)
    • no evidence left behind
    • no scarring
    • completed in 6 days (on purpose)
  4. Described in detail in Genesis 1
  5. Witnessed by the angels
So go ahead and say it's meaningless -- and I'll show you differently.

All I said was that it is the quality of posts, not the number of them, that matters, not that you don't have responses to challenges. They tend to be dodges and mind games, but you have consistency to them.

If someone knows the quality of my posts, then he should know that I have handled the age of the earth many, many times.

If OTOH, they don't know the quality of my posts, then they're just taking a shot in the dark that what they are saying is right.

And speaking of quality of posts:

In your opinion, how much quality is in this remark?

AV doesn't realize that people do read his posts. I read them, right up until he brought the Omphalos hypothesis on board.
He's made up his quota on number threads. ^_^

My evaluation of the whole situation goes like this:

AV: I have seen some of your past posts make for some entertainment on Fundies Say the Darnest Things; some of the things you say are very silly, although I don't even know if you consider any debate you have seriously to begin with. You're fun to talk to though, and I think many people feel that way, because when you go inactive, many threads, even ones you didn't start, go silent until you return.

And I know you are very proud of your post number, but have you ever mentioned it and actually had someone view you as more legitimate because of it? It puts people off when you do that. Almost as much as one particular carcinogenic tragedy that I see you are still mentioning despite many people asking you not to do that.

However, in regards to your stance, any doubt about it would have to result from someone not reading your posts. You are very open about being a YEC and when you aren't blatantly stating it, your position in debates highly implies it. And if your post number is good for anything, it provides significant evidence that you are not a troll (in that even the most dedicated trolls wouldn't be able to stalk a forum like this for that long), despite some of your infamous challenges seeming rather trolly, and your choice of avatar pic.

In short, AV is silly, and some people need to read a little closer :p or maybe just ask if they aren't sure.

You're very gracious.

I read 'em for entertainment (when I'm bored, and no discussion is happening) -- Sure, he like anyone else has his moments of glory -- but as far engaging the actual topic, I think he likes to hover on the periphery of whatever is being discussed.

Thanks for an honest reply!

AVs fav. subject is AV.

I recall the motivational poster that said "Atheism is the belief that the entire universe was not created for us".

There there is the opposing position - all of this is just for AV.^_^

You shouldn't feel the need to thank someone for honesty; it should be inherent in responses that people give, especially with the freedom of being essentially anonymous -_- but you're welcome.

now do my card challenge or i automatically trump every future challenge you issue :p

That's arrogance?

It seems much more arrogant to believe that the entire universe was made just for one species on a single planet, in a single solar system, and in a single galaxy.

When you go to the ballpark, is it arrogant NOT to believe that they are playing the game just for you?

You didn't get it; it's a joke, the line is supposed to be read sarcastically.

LM, I think the person that made that poster was being facetious.
