Atheism is unreasonable

[Esquilax]

Because I thought that was the post that you were PRESENTING your case for evolution. I've never seen a debate where the opening statements were separate sessions. In WLC debates (and almost any other debate) the opening statement consists of an intro and ALSO the main body of whatever the PRO side is arguing for. That is what I thought it was.

Right, but that's very clearly not what the rules we'd agreed upon were. I both linked you to a lengthy explanation, and explained them myself in PM.

Also? Most debates have a pair of opening statements, both of which present their case before moving on to the response rounds. Not only did you just decide to skip your own opening statement and head straight for a response, but what would those response rounds be in response to if not for what was already presented?

I think you're just covering for yourself here.

If I knew the opening statements and the main presentations were separate entities, I would have requested to change the rules...I had no idea you guys were going against everything that I've ever seen in any debate that I've watched.

So, did you not read the rules I suggested? Because, to be clear, this is what happened: I linked you to some rules, you agreed, posted out of turn, and then got shitty with the admins and myself when we tried to correct the problem. If the reason you didn't follow the rules really was your own misunderstanding, then getting pissy with CD was a real asshole move.

Newsflash, dumbass...I knew he was "trying" to correct me, which is why I started the post off with "Even tho the bulk of your post is bio-babble" Reading comprehension, people

Oooh, so you just wanted to outright dismiss the parts that disagreed with you, while strutting around during the bits that agree with you.

Well, let's just put it in simplistic terms for you...dinosaurs were reptiles. I know it must hurt being a evolution guru and being corrected on animal classification...but hey, it happens to the worse of them.

So... you don't know anything about cladistics? That's cool, you can just admit it. We all know you have no idea what you're talking about already, you don't need to hide it.

What is bio-babble? Well, to babble is "to utter meaningless and confusion of words or sounds"...and "bio" means life, particularly as it relates to the field of science and the study of biology.

So bio-babble is "uttering meaningless and confusion of words as it relates to biology". Keyword: Meaningless

And you just decided it was meaningless based on... what, exactly? Your own inability to understand it?

Because to someone who's actually well versed in the terminology and methodology of biological science, it has a lot of meaning. That's why it's so funny whenever you wave things off as bio-babble; the people who actually study this stuff understand it just fine. The one who doesn't understand it at all is the one who makes up his own terms and then insists that everyone else use them like a toddler.

You don't support your claim that it's babble, you don't give us any indication that you have education sufficient to label it that, and your conduct thus far gives us no reason to believe you understand even the simplest of facts; from the outside looking in, all the word "bio-babble" is is an- apparently unintentional!- admission that you are both unwilling and unable to understand the science you think you can disagree with.
