... you started off wrong.
So, I imagine it'll be all downhill from there.

If that's the common usage do you also call other scientists by their silly names for their profession? What about "gravitationalist"?

I personally now want to be known as a "pullinsidesoutegist".


Revs speaks of "his argument". It appears revs thinks so long as he can imagine he is in the make belief good graces of the fictional Jesus, any shit he care to lay in public in a sorry attempt to buttress his fantasy would constitute "an argument".

Instead of putting me down, try addressing the argument.

Wait while I get the popcorn.

Try focusing on the issue that I brought up instead of focusing on a missed dotted "i" or a slanted crossed "t".

It has been addressed.
Time to move on.

That doesn't have much to do with the argument at hand.

I play "endogenous retroviral insertion".

Game over.

Game is far from over.

Your joking, right? You posted the *opinion* of one person, quote mined from a 54 year old book, that ignores all of the substantial research that's been done since.

There is literally nothing to address. Your source is obsolete.

Let me guess - was it one that claimed to be about 2000 years old?

You'd think so, wouldn't you? As I remember they never got that far. That or they were going for academic credibility by citing only carefully-mined scientific sources..
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Your first point has been totally demolished so why aren't you adding anything new?
There is literally nothing to argue against until you post something that adds value to your argument.
Is there anything or are just going to keep coming back here and going "Aha"?
