I know this because of the historical records.
Now before you get all excited and say, "Ah HA, so why don't you believe the historical records of the miracles of Jesus?", it's because (1) I distinguish between folklore and history (see Washington's Cherry Tree story) and (2) extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
The divinity and miracles of Jesus are extraordinary claims that are only supported by what are, at best, legends.

Yeah.
Didn't you notice, the other guy tucked tail and fled?
By the way, a bit more education for you: An "ad hominem" is not just an insult. It's an insult used in place of an argument.
Example A: "I won't debate you because you're an idiot" (Ad hominem)
Example B: "You're an idiot because...." (not necessarily an ad hominem)
You're welcome.

Why would he start now? Dismissing everything out of hand and pretending his opponents haven't said anything has done wonders for stroking his ego so far.
Frankly, this one will do better if he just stays for the whole debate instead of fleeing the scene.
