Here you go.

Patently untrue. I grew up in a Non-denominational church. That practiced lent.

Then I stand corrected.

Again, Huggy goes for the 'gotcha'.

How is that a gotcha?

Huggy, it's possible to count to two on one hand, you know.

Because you went back nearly two weeks in search of an example to disprove Rob's obviously-humorous (though possibly true) assertion. What's more, the post you linked doesn't do anything to counteract what Rob said.

I can't believe I have to tell you this, but hands have five fingers.

And trying to dredge up a minor error on my part (which was swiftly rectified openly and readily by myself) in order to distract from the mountainous farrago of dishonest pseduoscientific cherry picking two-faced bullshit you've been steadily constructing in this thread it at once humorous, obvious, and irritating.

With all due respect (i.e. none), go fuck yourself.

Just look at his sig: the last one (before he changed it to you because he's an ass) was just a simple error that he felt the need to crow about endlessly. Of course, he didn't include the very next part of the exchange, where Rhythm admitted he was wrong and changed his position, because that would be intellectually honest, and all Huggy really wants is to make fun of us for being wrong at all, because ha ha you're wrong.

It's kinda like arguing with a toddler, where he'll constantly try to twist technicalities so that he's right no matter what, while turning your every honest error, even if you admit to it, into an opportunity to taunt you.

Huh, I didn't even realize he had changed his signature. Oh well, more name-advertising for me!

Hah, and he didn't even include the first sentence of my response in his signature.

But seriously, at what point is this kind of blatant dishonesty against the rules?

Because rob never said "theists never say they were wrong," he said it is rare when they do.

Ah. Incorrect my friend. He went back a year and two weeks to find an instance where he admitted he was wrong.

I think at the point when he was trying so hard to cover his bullshit that he actually quote mined himself.

If I were you, I would go with 'kind=family", as I suggested earlier. It gets you out of nearly all of the problems you're having by insisting that 'kind' and 'species' are synonyms.

Sigh. I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough to save you from wasting all of that bandwidth. I should have said that what you have to establish is that the authors of the Bible meant 'kind' as a synonym for the modern biological classification 'species'. Being a possible synonym in a dictionary doesn't mean that the authors of the Bible meant the modern biological classification of 'species' when they said 'kind'.

Many of your co-religionsts reach the somewhat more reasonable conclusion that the 'kind' of cats is not felis domesticus, but the cat family, from caracals to lions.

But if you want to insist, that's fine with me. Since 'kind'='species' and species can provably give rise to new species on a human timescale, the Bible contention that kinds/species 'bring forth after their kind' is completely refuted.

Thanks for playing.

Well, that's one. A good start. If you can dig up six I'll be impressed.

I was exaggerating, it's not like I'm keeping count. But I'll still be impressed with 6 in the time I've been here.
