1. If I'm being challenged, or am being asked to debate a point (which I rarely like to do), then 100% I'm going to locate weaknesses in the opponents arguments and attack those.
2. Seeing weaknesses in their argument makes people frustrated, so what do they do? They double-down; and if they double-down why shouldn't I double-down? Give them a pass on their weaknesses, and they won't do the same for me.
3. I don't derail conversations; conversations naturally branch out as new people join the conversation, and comment on different things. Sushisnake wanted to discuss phylogenetic trees and bird-dinosaur evolution. Cyber wanted to complain about evolutionary biologists again. Nyar wanted to argue what hypotheses are. You guys derail the conversation, and simply go down whichever tracks are more interesting.
I can't both become entrenched in a position and derail the conversation simultaneously silly lol.
Straw man red herring, you'll never change. The point, since you have ignored it, is that your claims are denying properly validated scientific fact. Whilst championing a superstitious creation myth for which you can demonstrate no objective evidence. Whilst falsely pretending your claims have scientific validity. Meanwhile you're trashing aspects of the scientific method that you find inconvenient like the world wide scientific consensus on species evolution that has lasted almost 160 years of proper scrutiny with a risible conspiracy theory.
What's with lol after every post, are you 13?
While I've constantly mentioned that my view on evolution would not change if I was atheist, I have heard that Copernicus' ideas may have been influenced by some form of sun worship ideology (see Farris, 2003).
