I realized a while ago that this "debate" is effectively dead and that creationists really don't have any new arguments, which means any attempts at debate are going to just be rehashing of old talking points, most of which are decades old. IOW, the "incessant parroting of dead claims" as you so aptly described it.
I really need to let it go and stop engaging with the tiny handful of creationists who are left. For years many of us on the science side eagerly awaited the day when this wasn't a debate any more. Well, that day is here, and we need to accept it and move on to other things.
It looks like you've already done that, which is commendable. More of us need to follow your example.
I think that even this relict population should be addressed, at least initially. Just to point out their irrational, baseless arguments for any that may not have run into their nonsensical claims before. It is always possible, that it may get someone to think.
When creationists have reached the level where they are posting as self-appointed experts on anonymous internet forums and preaching the revealed truth of their "expertise" as fact, engaging with them to any great extent is just an exercise in futility. It isn't as if we are debating Michael Behe on here. In the end, when pressed to rationality, even he had to admit the failure of his own ideas. That what he wished as fact was just his own beliefs and desires with no real evidence to demonstrate those beliefs.
The minute the ministry of artificial gaps was manufactured to manifest belief in a personal doctrine that is turned into an ad campaign for Denis Noble says touch your toes, I should have walked away. When I read that beavers were farming fish for food, I should have rolled up the carpet. When the trillionth claim that the science is rejected from a "thorough review of the evidence and theory" by another person that doesn't show any knowledge of the subject, I should have bounced. But it can be compelling.
But the reality isn't an illogical, laughable claim that some scientists think that the theory of evolution should be expanded on their claims that new data isn't fully addressed by the theory as it stands, means that we have no theory. That creationists don't understand that age-old, empty nonsense means that, whoosh, gravity doesn't exist. It is the argument itself that matters to them. Getting people, even educated people, especially educated people, to maintain engagement with these dead arguments, is the goal. The evidence of decades reveals it is all that is available for creationists to bring to bear.
I'll do it again. It can be fun. For a time. That nonsense should be met with the facts and the best understanding available at least for any passerby that might be tempted to stop thinking and be drawn in by the plethora of logical fallacies and intensity.
Still, you have to stop feeding the pigeons sometime.
Save yourself the trouble of responding here. Not only am I ignoring the unimportant, this thread is dead and I will no longer be watching it.
You have a good day, I hope to chat with you and a few others here on more interesting threads elsewhere.
