Perfection!

RE: Perfection!
Since you insist.

To me it is simple. In general, no inferences can be drawn from a lack of evidence. If you say things like:

(December 24, 2009 at 4:10 pm)EvidenceVsFaith Wrote: I myself personally believe that I know of no evidence whatsoever of any absolute meaning or values in the universe whatsoever anyway....

as to suggest an inference from that (whatever the inference is) you are committing the argument from personal incredulity fallacy which is a variation on the argument from ignorance:

Wikipedia Wrote:The argument from personal incredulity, also known as argument from personal belief or argument from personal conviction, refers to an assertion that because one personally finds a premise unlikely or unbelievable, the premise can be assumed to be false, or alternatively that another preferred but unproven premise is true instead.

However, since you have extensively argued that you draw no conclusion from the lack of evidence or your belief in the lack of evidence it is not a syllogism. In that case (without conclusion) the remark becomes irrelevant and can be ignored altogether. And that is just what I suggested from the first time I encountered this phrase of you here on AF. And that is just what I will do when I encounter it again.
