Anyone who uses honest skepticism sees right through his arguments.

You atheists- who propagate reason and rationale religiously- should be utterly ashamed of yourselves for allowing your anti-Christian bias to influence your opinions to such a point as that you are quite willing to crucify reason and rationale by intentionally refusing to acknowledge the almost innumerable logical fallacies Ken Humphreys employs on his website.

I often wonder if the hatred of religion can take the atheistic mind so far as to castrate skepticism in favor of a strap-on commonly known as denialism.

If you think Humpherys has a single rational argument supported with tangible evidence, bring it here.

Hey look, turns out he needed a whole lot more well poison!

And this isn't poisoning the well against me?

No.

And now you've switched to poisoning the forum well. Please at least try to stay focussed. Countering whatever claims you bring to the table does not equate to "anti-Christian bias" nor "hatred of religion". Some of us don't particularly care for random strangers telling us how we think and what we believe. As Matt D would say, "you're done."

I haven't brought any claims. I have been countering the claims that have been brought to me, and when they are countered, my response is ignored, and all I get are insults and ad hominems.

So ... I have no idea what you are on about.

Really? Then why are you here?

Also, look up the true definitions of the logical fallacies you cite.

Since he says that all I am doing is poisoning the well, he is attempting to pre-empt me with the intention of discrediting and ridiculing.

Funny. You come across just like any other theistic shithead.

Except your own words were cited against you. You discredited yourself.

Another insult?

How about showing me just how good Humphreys arguments are? I just need one example. Just one.
