I'm sorry I was just joking.

My source is Hugh Ross, who is an astro-physicist at the University of British Columbia, where I studied. Of course I diodn't researched all of this, I just copied his references.

Otherwise I work as a doctor over here in Seattle. Don't have much time to research these things.

Why did you mention any of it? Were we to presume it was of no relevance to the discussion?

"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

No - these are NOT your sources. You've never even seen any of those publications. You just copied and pasted an old article by a creationist nut-job - Hugh Ross, as well as its list of dubious references.

Are you stupid, or do you just  think we are?

I think you are.

Quote mining another website for sources you've never read And have no idea of the content?

That's not just stupid, it's intellectually dishonest and reveals that you're not interested in dialogue, merely strutting with academic references which, again, If anyone here asked you to cite the exact text within a reference that supports your thesis you'd be unable to do.

Prophecy: he'd just say "I gave you the source, read it for yourself".
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Which, being a 'doctor' he'd know was actually not a way to forward an argument. Copy and pasting someone else's argument and saying 'I agree' is a fast track way to get kicked out of university with the academic staff laughing all the way to the bank with your tuition fee.

"What about source X or author X which you've presented supports your case in chapter Y?"
"...errr?
"Get out."

Would you like to hear why Bigfoot must exist? I can prove he exists without any tangible evidence, by using half assed arguments. That makes him real.

You can try if you like, but first I am calling your bluff. Prove that you can demonstrate the existence of anything without making any a priori assumptions.
