Frankly, snowtracks is right. Everything has to come from something. If there is a thing that doesn’t come from something else, then that thing must be eternal (meaning that it, um, doesn’t come from, um, something else.) [trying to channel the great Bob Newhart there]
Mocking and abuse don’t really get around that. They just take the conversation back to junior high.
Do you agree? Check Yes [ ] or No [ ]
My reply doesn’t ’ignore the point being made’ (because snow isn’t making a point, merely regurgitating an unsubstantiated claim), nor is it abusive.
I do, however, happily admit to the charge of mockery.
