Of DNAunion and Michael Behe
[DNAUnion] makes a second attempt to repeat the same discussion, as we have <a href="http://iidb.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=58&t=001774" target="_blank">here</a>. [Personal attack removed. -Pomp] I wonder whether Dr. Behe will be on his mind?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Principia: But Behe drops a bunch of undefined terms along the way, so that his argument is incoherent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DNAunion: I looked on the floor and didn’t see any of the terms Behe dropped. Does anyone else see them down there? Also, you said he dropped them along the way...along the way to where? To work, to the grocery store? Exactly along which trail did Behe drop these things? Oh, and what exactly does a bunch mean? Two? Three? Five? It must mean some specific, single number: surely you wouldn’t dare use a term that specified something indefinite. And when you say his argument is incoherent, are you referring only to his second statement – the one you called a consequential argument? If so, then why ask us to define terms that are not found in that second statement, but in the first? How confusing this all is!!!!! :-) Could you please define the terms and phrases you used so that your statement isn’t incoherent? |

Will you two please cut it out! The mods and admins are discussing how to handle the latest escapade in the DNAUnion & Principia Show.
Until that is decided, I'm locking this thread and asking you two to ignore one another. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RufusAtticus E/C Moderator |
