Atheists and their jargon of insults

IOW, I wasn't in error and you ran away from the opportunity to even make the case that I was.
You seem to forget that if you want to make a point, it's up to you to make it. It's not up to anyone else to make it for you.

No, I simply do not want to waste my time. A demonstration of good faith is needed at times to make demands of others. It was a very small one can you could not even do that.

I am used to deniers running away. I have debated with creationists for aeons it seems. Almost all of them do not understand the concept of evidence and once it becomes clear to them that there is scientific evidence for evolution and only evolution they run away. So you running away is nothing new to me..

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary the first definition of Magic, Miracles and Supernatural are:

Magic:the use of means (such as charms or spells) believed to have supernatural power over natural forces
Miracles:an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs
Supernatural:eek:f or relating to an order of existence beyond the visible observable universe

So, what is happening in the world right now that most people can't explain that you consider miracles and happening all the time?

No, this is the basis for the argument from ignorance fallacy which is the most common argument for gods, to whit, I don't understand how it might have happened therefore god.

Human history is the struggle to get beyond this reasoning and we have come quite a way. No sun, rain, thunder, war gods etc. Current disagreement is between poofter gods and the well evidenced march of time and physics. If you wish to claim the unknown for your God, go ahead, but that is the god of the gaps who has been shrinking for many years. :)

Asking for you to back up your baseless claim isn't ignoring or denying.

I have found that some people, no matter what, cannot admit to the truth or that they were wrong about something. This has been amply demonstrated by certain ones on these boards. And so the beat goes on even if it's to the wrong tune until -- it's over.

If you ask politely, I would be willing to tell you, but you also have to be willing to admit that you're wrong, and you have failed to even do that.

Not at all the same thing. You had in effect admitted that you did not understand the refutation of your nonsense. You know it, I know it. everybody knows it.

I know that you love to try to imitate me, and I am flattered, but you at least have to be right once to do that.

I see that you're doubling down on your error rather than admitting your mistake and asking politely for help in identifying it so it can be corrected.
Either way, I'm here to help you understand if you're willing to admit your error and politely ask for help in correcting it.

Once again: You need to be right at least once. Actually more than at least once.

Oh the OP was dealt with and shown to be false a long long time ago. Threads very often move on from their topic.

Oh my! Telling someone they are boring is an insult, and proves the OP to be correct--by your own demonstration.
Do you recognize your error now?
