This is demonstrably wrong. Ever heard of a guy named Ken Ham? Yeah...no.

A dishonest approach to an issue remains dishonest whether it's in a debate or in a group discussion. In fact, I would argue that a one-on-one leaves less of a chance for the dishonest tactician to be called out on his bullshit, as the opposing side isn't always trying to nitpick his opponent's tactics.
Quote:...and facilitates the communication of thought by fostering a distraction free environment.
You did very well showing me that there was such a thing as "metaphysical naturalism". Communication was not hindered in regards to this revelation. Do you have any examples of how we can trust that a "distraction free environment" would facilitate a type of communication that we cannot attain in any normal discussion? So far, we have pointed out many instances of your dishonesty while speaking to us; what could possibly make us believe that a one-on-one debate would be any different?

You can PM whenever you want and I will respond as graciously and as sincerely as I can.
Noted. Truth be told, I won't bother. Why? There is little point discussing anything with someone whose go-to responses are recitations of the inane. What guarantee would I have that someone as demonstrably close-minded as you would ever partake in an honest, one-on-one discourse excluding your word that you will "respond as graciously and as sincerely" as you can? Actions speak louder than words, buddy.
