Likewsie, bodger (and yourself) do not have degrees specializing in logic, you have not published in peer reiewed journals etc., yet you still confidently brush off the findings of the non-religious authorities in the field! How ironic indeed!<BR/><BR/>So, I won't lose a bit of sleep if you think the atheist Douglas Walton is out to lunch. I'm just glad that you guys could find such common ground with the Appalachian Mountain Baptists. You both know what it's like to have blind faith. A, don't bother me with the facts, my mind is made up attitiude.<BR/><BR/>Douglas Walton's book - $30<BR/><BR/>Starbucks coffees bought while reading it - $25<BR/><BR/>Watching atheists act like Appalachian Mountain young earth creationists - priceless.<BR/><BR/>LOLErrorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10615233201833238198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-48018955003816824182007-11-06T23:28:00.000-05:002007-11-06T23:28:00.000-05:00Marshall,Did they send you as the representative e...Marshall,<BR/><BR/>Did they send you as the representative equivocation specialist?<BR/><BR/>Casbah asked if I had an *argument* in "response" to bodger's quip, or if my "response" was only to ventilate.<BR/><BR/>I replied that I didn't need to respond *with an argument* because *in that sense* Bodger didn't offer anything to respond to! I didn't imply that he didn't deserve a response *at all,* just not a substantive, argumentative one. That is, my response was not blameworthy as casbah tried to imply. <BR/><BR/>Try and keep up, mkay, I know it's hard when it's after your bed time 'n all, but you could at least get that little hamster in your noggin to turn the wheel at least 10 times rather than the 1 spin you're obviously opperating with.Errorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10615233201833238198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-62509567192058467872007-11-06T22:58:00.000-05:002007-11-06T22:58:00.000-05:00Glad you can count Marshall.

And, if you read between the lines, I asked him to go read Walton's stuff before he ventilated vaccuous verbiage from his pie hole. Why is that so unreasonable? Don't tell me that you too think you can just close your eyes to peer reviewed evidence to the contrary and wish it away?
