I'm not sure where you're getting your info, but an appeal to authority (or argument from authority) is when you assume something to be true just because someone who may or may not be an authority on it says it's true. Whether or not that person is actually an authority on it is irrelevant. I don't care who you are, if you say 3+3=7, I'm going to question you. So, telling me Albert Einstein said 3+3=7 does no good and is an appeal to authority.
As Wiki says:
Hmmm, that sounds eerily like something I just saw upthread.
Any chance you could give us a little more to work with than "Your argument is ludicrous/pathetic"? So far, that's all I see you defending yourself with. If you want to argue it, let's argue it. If not, then please go away.
And, BTW, arguing it would include giving valid reasons why the argument you don't like is wrong other than "pathetic" and "ludicrous". For instance, you might try to explain why you think intelligence is different from eyes as far as evolution goes.
lol, you've missed the point. he's so much more intelligent than the rest of us that he dosent have to explain himself. he only has to insult us till we bow to his stunning inteligence. the fact that he calls us pathetic and ingnorant is all the proof he needs that he's right.
