    Silly boy.... the guilt by association fallacy committed at the beginning of this part of the thread (saying that all Christians are liars), and now it applies to you also because you are defending the action of calling all Christians liars.

    Again, consequence and saying something is two different things.

    No one has called all Christians liars. This is simply a creatutre of your mind.

    Nope! It is a creature of your mind. I showed where he made the statement. If you want to remain in a condition of avoidance, then feel free to do so... however that will not change the FACT that he did make the statement.

    And I will show the statement again:

    "all Christians are liars" is simply a conclusion, via the 'Thus' reference.

    You seem to be saying that because a logic conclusion has concluded, that it must be true. Is this what you are saying here?

    An interesting article about a book to be published.

    http://uk.news.yahoo.com/will-storr...h--enemies-of-science--114518590.html#60XVunD

    Bottom line is that it doesn't matter that the physical evidence of evolution is overwhelming because the "creationist" simple refuses to believe it no matter what. They aren't concerned with facts and simply deny the facts but that doesn't change the facts. Their beliefs are so great that if they didn't believe the sun would rise in the morning they would deny it was happening while watching the sunrise. No amount of facts will change their opinion.

    Bolded the part I have issue with. So the contention of the article is that science has proven that all flying objects have been identified? And if the article would claim such a ridiculous thing, why should it be taken seriously?

    We notice that they never will admit to being wrong on any related point.

    The only known exceptions are those who at that epiphany also realized they were not longer creationists.

    I wouldnt read it that way. Id think it refers to "flying saucers" as in grays, reptoids, abductions, the whole "coast to coast" thing.

    One cannot of course prove they dont exist but belief in them is pretty unreasonable. The example in that context is ill chosen tho.

    Id agree that its a bit of a red flag, and one should be alert, reading the book, to see if more show up.
