And that's a lie. I did provide two: One from the "The Complete Idiots Guide to Taoism" and another one from Wikipedia.
You were asked to provide a citation showing what I said. Neither of those are citations of anything I said.

You provided no such citation.

The question: Is there good reason to believe the existence of the universe requires a supernatural creator?
The condition: You give up your staff privileges for the duration of the debate. You've already shown with Jacob smooth that you can't be trusted to behave ethically with regard to your administrator privileges when it comes to members' private information. You received the typical slap on the wrist for your lack of judgement. Spare the rod spoil the child. If this is going to be a fair fight, you must return to normal member status for the duration of it.
I await your reply.
Nice try, but no ... I'll have a formal debate whenever I want to and about whatever topic that I wish, but you can't push me into anything.
Who's pushing anybody? You faulted me for not debating you in depth. When I agree to debate you in-depth, you decline. That ends this debate.
If you're not willing to debate me in return, don't make insinuations that I'm somehow dishonest and untrue for declining to debate.
