Ha! When I was writing that Dr. Xtard thing, this came to mind. I thought about finding it, but I couldn't remember where I saw it or what strip it was from. Furthermore, I thought "I bet Min will post it, and get my back." Kudos, sir.

The debate can continue - HM's first post will count as his first rebuttal, and he isbexpected to post an opening argument before Esquilax has to respond. Both participants have been notified by PM what is expected of them.

I'm unlocking the thread so HM can post his argument.

For the sake of transparency, I will say that my immediate reaction upon seeing what happened was to request that the debate continue. I didn't want to let it end on a technicality, and I'm glad it gets to continue now.

Ditto, but it wouldn't have been fair to expect you to continue with the irregularity uncorrected. Glad a solution was found.

So he challenged everyone here to debates, then shows he has zero idea how debates go.

Well, I hope he takes a little more time formulating an opening statement. The first rebuttal was embarrassing...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Very educational. I will admit, I knew next to nothing about evolution before reading your post.

Oh let me compliment both players.

HisMajesty, your post was also um...cute.

His_Majesty Wrote:The only thing we see in the present day is animals producing their own kind...dogs produce dogs, cats produce cats, and fish produce fish...so on and so forth. This is MICROEVOLUTION, people...I agree, microevolution happens every day..but a dog producing a dog is a lot different than a reptile changing to a bird...which is something we DON'Tsee.

Never mind that His_Majesty doesn't explains what he means by "kind" (an antiquated concept). This statement from him reveals to me a common yet fundamental misunderstanding about how evolution works. Under evolution, a member of one species doesn't produce a member of some other species. Rather, the gradual and small changes that species undergo over many generations lead to an accumulation of features and differences that in turn lead to speciation and divergence. But at every step along the line, we always have living organisms producing members of their own species.
