I made a drawing of my theory on an engineer's take on how the solar system was created, but with your natural cynicism you probably don't want to see it. Horrors of horrors!! Suppose he's right.

By all means, show it! How do you expect to argue with skeptics if you won't present your argument? >>

my intention is to point out the wrongs in processes I'm familiar with and hope someone in this forum will see it the same way and a constructive debate can get started. cantbe323
In other words, your conclusions are infallibly right, and if someone disagrees with you, they are either uneducated, close-minded, or a mindless sheep who hasn't seen the truth as only you have. >>
Sadly yes, since no one dares to debate with me on any of the topics I presented, that's really the only conclusion I can draw.

Thanks, but I don't have one, or expect to get one. Too late for this old dog to learn new tricks.

I hope cantbe323'sversion of moon creation is at least as good entertaining as the Boshongo creation myth of the great god Bumba vomiting up the sun, moon, earth and fauna brought on by a violent stomach ache. |

Unless you present some argument in favor of your positions, there is nothing to debate. Just saying that something is wrong or pseudoscience is not presenting an argument unless you say why you think those things are wrong and if at all possible, link to evidence that supports your claim.
You keep blaming everyone for not engaging you in a debate, but you stubbornly resist every suggestion made to you about how to make that happen. We all see the same thing from you, so perhaps it's time for you to start considering the possibility that it is you who is incapable of a real debate or dares not engage in an actual debate.
Me? I think you're a troll. And I think that what you are getting out of this is exactly what you came here for.
But just for fun, let me answer all of your OP's at once in the only way they can be answered, given how detailed they are, and we shall see if this works as a debate for you. Here goes. Are you ready?
I think you are wrong.
There you go. Are you happy now? |

Devastating argument, and in language he'll understand! Well said!

You haven't actually put forth any arguments, so there's nothing to debate. All you've done is make contrarian statements and then refuse to discuss them in any substantive manner.
If you'd really like a debate, then pick one of your assertions (like that the Big Bang is nonsense, or that seismology is nonsense), take a week and write up a 500-word argument supporting your position with as many references as you'd like, and then I'll take a week to create a response, and we can go back-and-forth like that for four or six weeks before opening up the thread to the masses.
I'd be happy to debate you, if you can present something that could actually be debated. |

If your face turns blue, stop holding your breath.
I told him how to do it with no hassle and he instantly crawfished on me, which, in all truth, was not exactly unexpected. Thus I must conclude that there is no drawing nor even the inspiration for such.

It's you that have prevented and refused any "debate" on any of the issues you raise. Like other common Internet trolls, you repeatedly make outrageous claims, then refuse or fail to present even a shred of evidence to support them. Claiming that others refuse to debate you is utterly laughable. If you can't be bothered, even on a skeptic site, to dig up evidence for your claims, just shut the Hell up. |

I disagree with one thing here but agree with your main point, for the first time ever.
I disagree that inability to learn is age determined but I do agree with your stating, you can't learn.
NO, no, I take that back. As long as one has a capacity to learn, like having a functional brain which you do have, one can learn new things. Desire to learn and better oneself, now that's something you lack as is evident with you calcatrant postings. SS |
