Lines of Evidence

Are you sure you didn't just misread what he wrote? Looking back at it, it looks like you thought he was arguing for biblical literalism due to direct divine authorship, but that isn't his position at all nor have I seen any trace of him ever saying anything like that. If you misread, it's not a big deal, we all do that sometimes.

To be honest, your reaction here is just confusing.

Thanks for asking. No that's not it. He knows what he wrote. It's no big deal, he just doesn't know how to admit when he's wrong.
It's a very human trait, and I'm totally fine with it -- but really it is off-topic anyhow.

You don't need to worry about him, I'm sure he can answer for himself.

 

[lewiscalledhimmaster]

You are claiming I am deluding myself?

Sure, you know exactly what you said. But like I said to [serious] -- it's not that serious. Plus the arguments between yourself and others about the authority of the Bible, is right off-topic -- and only serves to derail this thread even further. Not that I care.

Moving on.

Sure, you know exactly what you said. But like I said to [serious] -- it's not that serious. Plus this who tangent of arguments between yourself and others about the authority of the Bible, is right off-topic. Please try not to ruin another thread, with your off-topic arguments.

Moving on.

Why don't you try something once and actually back up what you claim and show me what I wrote, as you claim. Is this impossible for you to do and you just continue to make claims that I am deluding myself?

If you can, try not to place labels on people, if you can not back them up with any objective support as this seems to be a pattern for you.

Are you capable of that?

Either retract your label or support your claim and we will see who is deluding themselves.

I already did that. You didn't read back when you fired your first salvo and it seems you don't bother reading back at all. Don't be so lazy.

What a lot of nonsense. I've already shown you.

You showed nothing and you know it.

Big shocker.

You know I did. You're just hoping I'll put up a cartoon, so you can go 'see he put up a cartoon again' I'm not bored enough yet, so that won't be happening. < I changed my mind - you are very boring.

Prove it.

 

[lewiscalledhimmaster]

Prove it.

Now there's a thought. Wait a minute, you're up to your old tricks again. It's all there for you, all you need to do is read.

Yes it is a great idea. Ball is in your court and prove it.

I know, it is hard to prove something that didn't happen. So, keep evading needing to support your claim, when you could settle it real quick if you could.

You have become, entirely predictable.

Cue the cartoons.

I only post cartoons when I'm bored, but you're comments are so very engaging -- that I don't need to. Isn't that fab, mate? It 's just so wonderful to watch your nose growing longer and longer, with each new post.
Now that I've got your attention, why don't you be a good little boy and go to bed -- because you and I, and the readers know -- that you don't plan to read back at all. Why? Because it hurts too much to admit it when you are wrong. No worries little man, in time you'll be able to do that. Well, that is once you get that chip off your shoulder.

Now that I've got your attention, why don't you be a good little boy and go to bed -- because you and I, and the reader both know that you don't plan to read back because it hurts to admit when you are wrong. No worries little man, in time you'll be able to that. Once you get that chip off your shoulder.

More gibberish and no proof of your claim.

Think about how the other readers would be impressed with you, if you could simply support the claim you keep sticking to, that I am deluding myself.

Lets see what you got, last chance to save face.

Cette gentil petit garçon

Not!

You could just read back, and save face -- but I think you enjoy
this, because you are lonely and frustrated.
No harm, I totally understand.

 

[lewiscalledhimmaster]

Thank you very much to those of you who contributed your wisdom, humor and excellent comments, to this thread.

This has definitely gone a long way towards helping me understand EVOLUTION.

Kindly,

I'm a recovering KJO-YEC

I got very poor marks for Grade 12 Biology (in 1982), but am very keen to learn all I can about these lines of evidence for E V O L U T I O N

Please choose "one" and help me understand it?

I known I could search out the answer, but then this wouldn't be a discussion - it'd be a boring old lecture.

So, let's chat.

Thanks for showing all the readers and myself, you can not support your claim.

I seem to have touched a nerve, for ever since I mentioned the readers -- you've suddenly been very worried about that.
It seems you are quite incapable of making the necessary effort, to read back and see where you went wrong. It's not an uncommon problem on these type of forums. It's no real problem though, for it has nothing to do with this thread and everything to do with the fact that you just want to stir up an argument about the wind.

What did he write?

I have looked back and I fail to see where he went wrong. Perhaps you could quote the mistakes that were made?

It's both trivial and unrelated to this thread (IOW, it began elsewhere and continued here -- much the way that the tail end of most thread seem to disintegrate into a flurry of unrelated discussions), but seeing as you're both asked so nicely -- here we go:

Translation:

The information you perceive from a bunch of stories written by anonymous authors.

Tell that to the anonymous authors.

My response to both Mr. Strawberry and bhsmte: Post 356

You really need to read better.

I stated the authors of the gospels are ANONYMOUS.

If you have studied the work of scholars and historians, you will know this is a widely accepted conclusion, even by many conservative scholars.

My response to bhsmte: Post 368

I've asked for this thread to be closed, as it clearly no longer serves the purpose for which it was started.

I might have revealed this sooner but based on all my prior entanglements with bsmte (not that I've been here that long, or intend to stay), quite unrewarding and immensely frustrating. In short, I've decided in future, to completely ignore bsmte's comments.

 

[bhsmte]

All I can say is; Wow!

If you make claims about people (such as being deluded) as you have me on more than one occasion, don't be shocked when you are asked to support your claim, or retract it.
