Have you quit beating your wife yet?!?
The more important question here is, will you see that yes or no is not always a viable answer to a yes/no question.

Right!
Now tell me what's wrong with this question: "Who created the universe?" There's 2 points available. Feel free to send me a private message.

So you understand that, but don't get why other people might not want to answer yes/no to your questions?

It's not whether your questions are relevant to the subject, but whether a yes/no answer is relevant to your question. You disingenuously want to frame questions that require a detailed answer as a yes or no question and that is, at best, intellectually dishonest.

We know how it expanded we know on the smallest scale why but we just don't know what happened before but even still its pointless to go before because nothing existed before the universe.

To be clear, despite your protestations the question about beating your wife really isn't irrelevant, in that its relevancy is directly related to the context it's asked in, and there wasn't any context to the question. It's literally impossible for the question to be either relevant or irrelevant, because there's no framework for it to be relevant within. No, the issue is that the question and the way the answer is to be formulated makes the question leading; it's designed to draw you toward a single answer or set of answers, and may in fact leave you unable to give a truthful answer. That's the problem both with the example, and your questions generally: you ask something that requires qualifiers and details to properly reflect the position of the answerer, but demand the response come in a format that prevents them from providing that accurate information. You've now manipulated the parameters of the question to force your opposite numbers to skirt close to, if not outright engage in, a lie that's more useful for your position than the truth.

He's been asked many times to explain how his Magic sky gods fairy dust works since he proposes it to be a better explanation to the observable universe, but he won't answer, he just dodges. So huggy, are you really going to ignore the complete lack of evidence of how your god "poofed" new species periodically within the evolutionary cycle in order to attack accepted science's natural explanations? Do you have me on ignore or are you really that much of a dishonest deceiver? Where did your god get his magic wand and how does it work?
