He has stated, perhaps in his other nearly identical thread, that the purpose of all this is to undermine the theory of evolution by show how those against religious positions engage in the same (lack of) logic as they accuse religious folk of: reliance on unverified testimony, a bias toward hunch rather than proper evidence, etc.
In other words, he's trying to move the goalposts and lower the bar to such a degree that evolution must be discarded and religious ideas must be seriously considered.
Really? That is his goal? A giant tu quoque fallacy?
Wow. I sure hope it's more than that. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'll see what he has to say to my questions.
If anyone thinks they can make religious claims look even as credible as scientific ones, let alone more, they have bitten off more than a magic lion can chew.
