So because you don't like it, presumably because of how inconvenient it is for your argument, it's not true, based solely on that assertion from you alone?

Quote:Hell, I think life from nonlife and consciousness from unconsciousness is an extraordinary claim...
That's why we aren't taking the simplistic, binary path you want us to, with those claims. We're using a scientific, probabilistic approach. Oh, and by the way, did god come from life? Did his consciousness come from consciousness?
Your answer to both of those questions is probably no, and if that's the case then how dare you pretend that what you just said doesn't also apply to you? And if the answer is yes to both of those, then all that blathering you do about infinite regressions was either a lie, or is a problem for you.

Quote:And I haven't seen any extraordinary evidence for it yet...so we can both play that game.
You really are a dishonest little git, aren't you?
