PRATT list

[AV1611VET]

Well ouch i actually thought i made a fair attempt at answering your question

I didn't mean you, EDS -- I was talking about 'over the years' here.

My large post count is a testament to how long I have to wait sometimes for an answer.

Are items ever taken off the PRATT list?

By way of example, Internet scientists like to bring up how, in Leviticus 14, lepers were prescribed the blood of certain non-avian dinosaurs being an effective antidote; as an example of medical ignorance due to religion.

Despite repeated efforts to show them that they are already cured of the leprosy beforehand, the item still remains on the PRATT list.

So, is the PRATT list ever edited to delete items, or does it just keep getting bigger and bigger?

(Note: the purpose of this thread is not to discuss items that belong on the PRATT list, it is to discuss items that don't belong on the PRATT list.)

PRATT = Point Refuted A Thousand Times

First off, I think you mean "avian dinosaur," rather than "non-avian dinosaur." Just another example how you confuse yourself with your own semantic games, as it would be simpler to say "birds," to begin with.

Secondly, I will ask when are you going to stop using Pluto, Thalidomide and "Go at Throttle-Up," as blanket arguments against any scientific argument we make?

Almost sounds like how Pluto was demoted: 32.

I guess no time soon, huh? I guess we don't need to take anything off the PRATT list, then..

Or maybe it has more to do with how you side-step answering so many questions.....

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools... always interesting to see someone trip over their own vanity.

Seeing as AVET is carefully ignoring the 'something worth replying to', I'll put in bigger letters:

WHAT PRATT LIST?

LINK PLEASE

I inadvertently called this a PRATT list, when I meant list of contradictions and superstitions.

My error.

The PRATT list is something else altogether.

OK:

WHAT LIST OF CONTRADICTIONS AND SUPERSTITIONS?

LINK PLEASE

I'm sure there are a number of lists that various people keep, so we need to know exactly what list you are talking about.

So you're not really talking about anything... good to know.

Right, so you assume that we all know this imaginary list. So either you're a conspiracy theorist or you're just trolling.

Or are you going to give a link to this list? It isn't hard you know, you just copy and paste.

So, no link, no list... you're really running on nothing but vanity now, aren't you?

OK, so there's no list, and you're justing making a vague attempt at trolling. That's all I needed to know.

I would advise everyone else to just let this thread die.

I think you are confused about what a PRATT list is. I think you are also confused about what a "scientist" is. "Internet scientists"? Seriously?

Scientific PRATT lists are in response to particular creationist claims -- such as the bombardier beetle's ability to squirt toxic chemicals could not have evolved.

What you seem to have, instead, is an atheist claim about Leviticus 14 being an example of medical ignorance. According to you, that claim is a PRATT:

Despite repeated efforts to show them that they are already cured of the leprosy beforehand, the item still remains on the PRATT list.

IOW, you have your own PRATT list, with this particular atheist claim on it.

Do atheists ever modify their list of claims that they say refutes theism or Christianity? Not that I can see. I see the same old dogmatic claims again and again.

Do creationists ever modify their list of claims? Sometimes. For instance, Answers in Genesis has a list of arguments that creationists are no longer supposed to use. Do creationists listen? Not much. I still see the claims on that list made by creationists on various internet boards, including this one.

 

[lucaspa]

For anyone interested, here is where you can start with an evolutionist PRATT list of creationist claims: An Index to Creationist Claims

I did not find the claim in the OP in this list.

I did find a site that is "Bible Study for Atheists" that has Leviticus 14: Bible Study for Atheists: Leviticus 14

However, this site does not misstate Lev. 14 as AV claimed in the OP. It clearly states that the leper is cured before all the ceremonies are done.

Um ... Lucaspa ... qv please: 26.

That's your third bous link in this thread, AV1611VET... still running on nothing but ego?

Of course -- would you expect anything less from me?

Since that's rock bottom, no. It would be hard to go any lower without drowning kittens.

Maybe he's talking about the PRATT lists that AIG and such have on their sites saying, "For the love of god stop using these, we don't endorse them any more."
