I most certainly attacked your position, sure, but that is ONE position on one subject. I am certainly sure you hold positions on a wide variety of subjects.
You're a fucking liar and you're doing it again. Below is what you posted. Prove me wrong. Link to the post in that thread where I asserted the position you were attacking. You can't, because there is no such post. Anyone with half a brain can see you were attacking me, not any position. I've made perhaps three post regarding my beliefs over two forums over a year, and you haven't read any of them. Heck, I'd settle for a one sentence description of the position you claim you were attacking. To me, the only such position would be, "I am not a hypocrite," but since I never asserted that, you couldn't be attacking that, could you? (You actually manufactured a quote out of thin air in order to "create" my position.)

"I am not like the others", yes you are. Anything started that long ago and especially not in a lab, which amounts to nothing more than a social club, cannot replace our modern tools of how we gain knowledge. The can only be our personal predilections.
Evolution existed long before Christianity, Hinduism, Hebrew, Taoism ect ect ect. It was around before our current social clubs and will still be around if they morphed into something else or got scrapped all together. The ability to make babies is not dependent on holding any label.
You "defy" me to show you? Challenge accepted!
On top of that, your attack was the specific ad hominem known as a , which is a fallacy. So even if you had been attacking a real position, you would still have been wrong.
A liar, a fraud, and wrong too. Your batting 1,000, or at least you are if you remove the 1.
"Wikipedia Wrote:Tu quoque or the appeal to hypocrisy, is a logical fallacy that attempts to discredit the opponent's position by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently in accordance with that position; it attempts to show that a criticism or objection applies equally to the person making it. This dismisses someone's point of view based on criticism of the person's inconsistency, and not the position presented. Thus, it is a form of the ad hominem argument.
