Well it's hard to contribute to a thread when all the op does is bullshit, lie and denigrate others who have previously made worthwhile contributions.
That's the modus operandi of the Pompous Apologist, a particular breed that I've identified here.
The Pompous Apologist knows well that there is no evidence for his/her claims and uses a haughty, snippy or belittling attitude to try to compensate or appear intelligent. They like to engage in a lot of junk philosophy, apparently fantasizing that they are an esteemed professor speaking down to a group of atheist students. Knowing a good offense is the best defense, they will look for the weakest link in their opponent's arguments and harp on it endlessly, trying to poison the well.
The way to handle the Pompous Apologist is to keep reminding them that they have the burden of proof and hold their feet to the fire.
