I'm willing to look at what you have to say, your evidence and reasoning; and to have a civil discussion about it. Although I don't think it will be anything new. And I ask that you would extend the same courtesy. Perhaps we won't agree, but you can come to a better understanding of where I am coming from.(August 2, 2017 at 1:27 pm)RoadRunner79 Wrote: As I said, I'm not going to debate this here (that is not the purpose). If you like make a new thread of your own. You can test my "ignorance", and examine my reasons all you like there.
However, if you are going to question my character and accuse me of dishonesty simply because I disagree. I think that is a reflection of you more than myself. Now there could be an inconsistency in how I act vs what I say I believe, you can try to expose that. But I always try to answer honestly.
Oh, you're at least consistent in your ignorance and intransigence, that's not in dispute. I'm simply attempting to get you to really look at yourself in the mirror and understand that about yourself. That you are incapable of providing a good argument for anything because you're not willing or able to look at it from the outside in. If you continue to limit yourself to that worldview, you're going to continue to miss out on so much. So forget about the rest of us, just do that for yourself, exercise some critical reasoning, be ruthlessly scrutinizing of your own methodology, and you might just emancipate yourself.
But if this is what you have decided to use as your glass ceiling, whatever, I'm tired of looking at how it's making your face all scrunched-up against it.
I'm not going to entertain any more disruption of this post by your need to insult me. This is the last time I am going to say it, so don't tell me; I'm not willing to look at other views, when I am inviting you to create a thread to do just that. If your not really wanting to discuss, then I consider this just flaming and repeatedly trying to attack me and disrupt, in the guise of critical thinking.

Even in a case which seems as clear cut as that though I don't see it as impossible that someone could cast reasonable doubt on that evidence.
I think that there is always possible doubt, however the question is if it reasonable.
