I actually wrote a reply the last time he created this thread but when I came to post it, the thread had gone. So I saved my reply which was:
Basically his argument was to pick something very technical and say that the chances of it happening are too small, hoping that we'll be intimidated by the long words and ignore the flaw in his argument.
The flaw being that things change slowly over time with each small change being quite possible, many, many other changes being discarded because they are not useful, and him stating the probability of all the accumulative changes happening at once, which no one ever claims to happen.
So nothing new.

What puzzles me about Starman and his ilk is how they don't bother to read the Rules, get warned and told to read them when they break one, continue to break them, then get all pissy when they get suspended or banned.

Yep; basically this:
(Yes, I know this has been posted before - it keeps becoming relevant.)
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.'
