Dave expects an overwhelming win by CM. So Dave should be happy with the results.

It's not even the slightly dark knight. Dave knows now that the consilience of science fuckers up the absolute authority of those he looks to for wisdom. He sees the sham. The difficult task of confronting the reality he is beginning to understand couldn't happen in this debate. Defeat are slightly below denees.

How unusual is this kind of lopsided outcome for debates on this site?

afdave, I see two possible explanations, not mutually exclusive, for your failure:

* You didn't have a case

* You didn't present good arguments

What are your thoughts?

Let's see...There were/are a lot of theists on Dawkins' site.

There's a lot of theists on this site.

Total for Dave in two debates: 1 "win" and 1 draw.

Total "against" AFDave : 200+ and counting

Pwnd.

62-0 and climbing as I checked ...

That's 208 votes against in two debates.

If he were standing as a candidate to become a Member of Parliament here in the UK, he'd have lost his deposit. There are candidates from the Official Raving Monster Loony Party here in the UK that have had better results than this.

I was seriously debating whether or not to click Dave for the sake of humor. Alas, I did not.

Look's like Dave (or biblethumper?) voted in the meantime.

Why didn't you make this a public poll, Occam's Aftershave?

And indeed, I will not vote. In circumstances such as this, only an egotistical asshat would vote for himself, and only an idiot would vote for his opponent.

But I do appreciate the vote of confidence.

Does he? I still don't agree that Dave has the intellectual capacity to understand the basic problem.
