I didn't read something you posted(which you claimed I didn't) that is well known by A2Kers with a rational brain to be garbage, doesn't make me a bigot...

Yes it does.

I think this one counts as the best argument in all A2K history...

Quote:
Sure. Your self love and hate of others is driving you now.

I don't hate you...I care for you, Ionus...I do all this because I care for people...misinformation isn't useful to humanity (I don't know how much I'm able to stress this)...it's detrimental to the advancement of knowledge.

Can you name me a theory that is not factual?

Quote:
Gomer can...he names String Theory.

Can you or Gomer prove String Theory wrong...if any of you can, then it is a failed theory...how about that?

Quote:
I said : a scientific theory is an explanation composed of facts...would you also say that music theory, the theory of gravity , the theory of germs, the theory of nuclear fusion, and other scientific theories are not factual?

You said : A Theory by definition can be proven wrong when more facts are known.

You said : You try to be dismissive in the hope someone who believes you will know what you are talking about. Forlorne hope. Can you tell which theories are failed theories before more facts are known ?

I said : They are failed theories (or scientific explanations)when they are proven wrong by peer review scientists

So they didnt have facts in them.


You don't seem to understand English very well, Ionus...you have to prove that a theory is wrong or nonfactual...then, if you prove it, it becomes a failed theory....a theory that passes scientific peer review is regarded as a scientific theory...I don't know how clear I can be...in the scientific arena there are also hypothesis, which is less than a theory...it's like an idea.

Is that a witty retort for your level of intelligence because it is rather pathetic, just like you.

I'm just telling you that it isn't relevant because this doesn't contribute anything to the core argument.

Quote:
You are telling me...another example of your ego.

But it is true...how is the knowledge of seamen that the world was round or spherical relevant to the fact that the catholic church kept the idea that the Earth was flat even when it was proven wrong? Where did the Catholic Church get the idea...from the Bible...there.

Quote:
Make up your mind. First you say the Bible can be twisted to say the earth is flat and now you say it didnt contribute. Focus, man/girl !


The Bible did not contribute to any scientific discovery that the Earth was spherical...it was the result of scientists...not from the religious...understand now?

because the Bible teaches that the Earth is flat...

This was discussed and you were in error.

But you have to actually prove that I was wrong...this is not a speculation game.

No, it is definitely a globe..unless you belive the moon landings were faked too.

How many times do I have to tell you...I don't do beliefs..
Quote:

Your sources are pretty pictures that you have to post because they are so pretty.

And funny too...

Quote:
But you must already know those sources to argue what they say....


Well...yeah...

When your handicap is recognised and you get a position to study at Uni you will become aware that it is a learning institution not a teaching one.

Well...professors do teach at the Uni...what are you talking about?
Quote:
I've already been in academia...this is not relevant.
Then you get your first degree and are expected to be self taught even moreso
.
But I already have my degree...two to be exact...

Quote:
Then you are in the real world and if you dont learn you get fired.

So, educating yourself and claiming to know everything is considered "the real world"? ...

Quote:
This is the nature of being self educated.


It is the nature of being cheap and ignorant...
Quote:
We cant all sit around unemployed like you.


Unemployed like me? You have nothing else to say...and this just proved it.
Quote:
By they way, where did you get your qualifications that would take a month or more to list ?

For the regular people it would take me less than a minute...and for you to understand them, it would require a month or more...

The Hollywood upstairs school for abused children ?

Abused children? Is this reversed psychology?

Oh but you would. You cant understand anything that doesnt agree with you.

Oh yea...I've been wrong many, many, many times...but with you, it's too easy..

You think you are being honest.... Shocked

Very...

Quote:
No, you are attacking people for being different and are telling them they are wrong to believe in religion.

Well, when I first started "debating" with you, you began insulting me instead of having a civil discussion...I'm going to repeat myself one more time: if you want to have a serious discussion with me, you'll have one...a very good one...but if you want to be irrational and a clown...you will know...because I will let you know.

Quote:
You have a picture of yourself trying to overcome your obvious inadequacies with overcompensating.

I'm not trying...it's done already...
Quote:
I defend Christians out of altruism..you attack them out of fear and bigotry.

Why don't you admit that you're a Christian instead of denying it?

Get a job and stop sitting around wasting your life watching movies.

I have a job, mite...a very good one...and what's wrong about watching movies? You were the one who brought up "The Spirit"...

Quote:
I understand movies are improtant to your learning and they quieten you down.

Arent people hiring self proclaimed "take more than a month to list all my qualifications" people ?

You ask a question, I answer it and you think I was out to prove you wrong.


What question did you answer? Which one?
Quote:
You were an abused child werent you ?

I grew up in a very loving, secular family...

Quote:

A Catholic priest ?

A Catholic priest did it? WoW!

Quote:
In the sense that justifies it being called the dark ages. Try to keep up..it really is painful to have to educate as we go.

And you still can't explain anything...


Quote:
When you have professional status you will expect to be self educated as your education continues.

Professional status in what...in professional bullshiting?

You see we dont stay at home watching movies and hoping that will improve our knowledge, neither do we assume like you have that we already know everything.

It's not a winning strategy...the reason for my "huh?" and "so what?" is because I don't understand what you said...and I need further explanation....

No one TEACHES at Uni, you are expected to educate yourself. Clearly you know as little about teaching as you do of the subjects you post on.
Quote:

If that is true, and you have them from somewhere other than the Hollywood Upstairs School for Abused Children, then you have to catch up to me.
Quote:

No, just educating yourself...your delusions about knowing everything is not a part of the real world.

You think it is cheap and ignorant to continue to educate oneself after Uni ?

Now it takes from less than a minute to a month or more to list your qualifications..is this dependant on how heavily medicated you are ?

Quote:

You have told us you are unemployed.
