Here's another example of a false statement: "Motivation is relevant in discussions like these."
You are right that personal motivations are irrelevant to the truth or falsehood of a proposition, however, they are quite insightful with regard to examining how a person judges the quality of available evidence for one particular proposition compared to another. Motivation can have implications with regard to erroneous reasoning, which is why I dig. I notice you’ve ignored my questions for a third time now. I’ll try drawing closer to my point a quicker way. Do you accept the current scientific theory of evolution as the best explanation for the diversity of life on planet earth?
The theory of evolution does not explain the origin of life on earth. Science refute the theory of evolution. This theory is only an illusion.

Or they say, "He has invented it!" No, they don't believe! If what they say is true, bring a similar story! Have they been created from nothing? Or are they the creators? Or have the heavens and the earth created? No, they are not convinced.
