Thanks for posting one of my sources, SC! It
wasn't necessary though: I already did that pages
ago!

For those who are wondering about both SC's late
arrival on this thread and his personal venom toward me, I can explain: merely look at this:

So I'm SC's bete noir and that is why he is causing trouble on the Shroud of Turin thread: he cares not one whit for the substance, he only seeks to annoy me. Too bad for him!
It is not at all surprising that leonarde finds that the truth 'annoys' him. Amusing that he is trying to find sympathy for his cause here at Infidels by doing exactly what Douglas did: appeal to the shutdown of ARN. *laugh*

For the record, I can still post at ARN, under the name of Principia (and quite a few others). So much for leonarde's proud achievement of banning me. I find it completely worthless to deal with the subjects there and so I have not bothered to post often since ARN's shutdown.

Now, shall we continue with the demonstration of how little leonarde knows about medical physiology? leonarde can only avoid that discussion for so long.

EDIT: to add a few emoticons to represent what leonarde is doing (i.e. whining):

The only time
you said anything true here is when you agreed with a source or two of mine. You have contributed
zilch to this thread, you contributed zilch to ARN
.....and all that in SPITE of real knowledge by you: the triumph of mendacity over science...

If leonarde *says so.*

My 'zilch' might actually be more than what leonarde has contributed thus far, which is an explicit argument that mere acceptance of any proclaimed authority should replace any critical analysis. In other words, he appeals to a suspension of disbelief. We can see evidence of this kind of thinking below:

Quote:

In other words, the truth of a statement is strictly dependent on agreement with leonarde's authorities. If science actually works in the manner leonarde depicts it, then I suppose the Pope would have ultimate authority on it, since after all, God has all the answers.

Enough said,
SC

Here's another great example of what
leonarde
thinks about matters which he
does not
understand:

Quote:
leonard at ARN: But this
thoimodynamicks thing, maen....it's gotta go.
Some new guy today started a new thread on
Thoimodynamics. Where will it end?????
I find the whole thing so abstract I could
scream!!! I'd rather argue with Douglas about
religion than read about LoTs!!!!!!
So, fair warning to
all of the other posters
on this thread. First, keep hitting
the Enter
key, because leonarde
apparently has difficulty
reading more than a whole line's
worth of material. Also, apparently,
leonarde can't teach himself not to
hit the enter key, but
he can somehow teach himself the finer
points of forensics.

Second, keep the discussion away
from the abstract. Otherwise,
leonarde might just find it all
too much
for him. *laugh*

SC

PS: I like this writing style. It makes the mundane so poetic.

SC, Go to thermodynamics thread. This is the Shroud of Turin thread. If you know anything about
the latter, you have done a splendid job of concealing it for 10 to 20 posts......

If leonarde says this is the Shroud of Turin thread... Sounds more like the leonarde-quote-athon thread to me. Maybe leonarde should take his own advice and confine himself to posting at ARN, where people there apparently would better appreciate his style of argumentation.

All right, this has degenerated into an insult contest.

I'm going to lock the thread for 24 hours so we can all cool down a bit. One of the other mods or I will open it back up tomorrow so level-headed discussion of the Shroud can resume.
