Nonsense.

I'm not criticizing a book. I'm criticizing a theory ... And I have read studied ToE extensively.

In that case, dave, what YOU said is nonsense, since I am only extending your logic to apply to you.

THIS is what you said:

OK ... so a lot of you have read the Bible completely. Good. I hope this thread has at least eliminated a few criticizers from the fray. Is there anyone here who would admit to having criticized the Bible, yet you have not read it?
These are YOUR words, dave. Let's apply them to Darwin:

Well, dave? Which is "Nonsense" and which is not?

WELL?

DAVE?

Sorry Dave, that's complete bullshit. You've already admitted that you've never read any mainstream science books on the ToE, remember? You actually bragged about it as I recall. That you "read and studied" AIG's pile of lies and cartoons doesn't qualify you to intelligently critique the theory I'm afraid.

Oh and, dave, you forgot to erase the word "read" there in your reply, after you changed it to "studied".

And no, you haven't "studied ToE extensively" either. Sorry.


<EDIT> Whoops, caught it this time, eh? Shall I erase it from my quote too?

Thaaaat's right.

And your words remain. According to you, you cannot criticize a boook unless you have read it cover to cover.


Therefore, you are unable to utter ANY word of criticism against ToE, since you have not read ANY book about it "cover to cover." Always according to you, you should be "eliminated from the fray of criticizers" of ANYTHING ANY "EVOLUTIONIST" WROTE, EVER.

Game, set, match, dave. And YOU brought this upon yourself.

So what and where did you "read and study" the theory Dave?

We know you bought subscriptions to Nature and Science so you could drop their names, but as far as we can tell you've never actually read either of them. Besides, they don't provide an overall view of the theory, but specific papers with the latest research on specific detailed areas.

You're bullshitting again Dave, which is very unbecoming for a Christian. Good thing you're not a Christian, eh?

So dave, which one of the two paragraphs I posted above is nonsense, and which is not? And WHY?

Will you answer? Or will you suddenly remember aaaaaall this work you have to do this week, and runn off?

Actually, and always according to dave himself, he is not entitled to have any opinion or criticism on the Koran, since he hasn't read it cover to cover.

Right dave?

RIGHT?
