Do I really have to bring in

Do I really have to bring in here the various papers on the evolution of multicellularity and the evolution of sexual reproduction?

@calilasseia

Unless you know how to explain it yourself but it never seems like you do rather you copy and paste long ranmbling “explainations” without ever demonstrating any actual understanding

What part of "I presented

What part of "I presented several scientific papers and provided detailed expositions thereof, with reference to the actual contents, in a previous post" do you not understand?

It's precisely because I understand the contents that I'm able to do this.

Now fuck off until you've acquired something resembling proper discoursive conduct.

Seems you are waaaay out of your depth. Must smart to discover you ain't the sharpest knife on the block. That everything you thought you knew and regurgitated on these pages was, as so many have succinctly put it...utter bollocks.

Calli at least links to sources, provides citations and intelligent commentary, contrasts rather favourably with the assertions, hyperbole and unoriginal thought we find in your posts.

Maybe you should try learning?

He clearly does understand it, and there are multiple posts in multiple threads demonstrating his understanding of it.

You still appear to be trolling.

I think our friend Jordan is using the tactic of more dakka. He thinks creating a endless stream of threads repeating the same old "arguments" will convert us to his "loving" religion.

My bad I thought this was debate but no apparently atheists just like to resort to mockery and implications.

@Jordan

There is a debate when both parties respect a set of rules, like actually answering the arguments of the opposing people, bringing evidence or facts to support your thesis, reading the evidence that other people bring, refraining to use straw-mans...

I have used mockery and implications, not all the atheists, beside, theists usually use this as well.

No wonder you can’t even fathom the concept of anything outside of what the all knowing scientists tell you, you’re too busy stomping around with your hands on your ears and shouting “I don’t hear you”!

No wonder you can't even fathom the concept of anything outise what the all knowing priests and holy book tell you, you’re too busy stomping around with your hands on your ears and shouting “I don’t hear you”!

Jordan "My bad I thought this was debate but no apparently atheists just like to resort to mockery and implications."

How is exposing your arguments as specious repetition not debate? What you have posted seems like an ad hominem fallacy to me. You also fail to ever give a candid direct answer to questions, so your absurd claim is doubly hilarious.

What objective evidence can you demonstrate for any deity.

@Jordan: There is debate and then there is the silly crap that you post over and over again. It looks like you learned to debate at the MPAC *Monty Python Argument Clinic.

I think how "reality" came to

I think how "reality" came to be, or even if it did so, is an unanswerable question. I believe it is desirable to refrain from lying.

Got completely disembowelled

Got completely disembowelled on his last thread, ended up by laying on his back like a beaten puppy and whining;
And to clarify I do belive [sic] in evolution I just have a suspicion that it is not all do to natural processes and random chance rather conditions were pre concieved for such life forms to unfold. I think it is counter intuitive for order to arise out of disorder and I don’t profess to believe in God no matter what and with all my night, I just wanted to open up discussion. ( bold is mine)

Obviously a bit upset as there is no punctuation or even spell-check on this little peevish rant. Note we are now getting to " I believe" rather than any of the previous supposed scientific studies, sources, or "most scientist" or even the "baffled great brains" claims. All are now conveniently swept under the rug of a new thread.

Well there are lies, damned lies, statistics, and now, it seems...Jordan.

You give atheists a bad name. Your like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum and haven’t offered anything constructive. No wonder you can’t even fathom the concept of anything outside of what the all knowing scientists tell you, you’re too busy stomping around with your hands on your ears and shouting “I don’t hear you”!

And no I’m not retracting what I am saying I just realized you are a lot thicker than I originally suspected so I’m going to have to go niceand slow for all the old men out there.

Ps I’m not going anywhere so get used to my posts that you seemingly love to read and respond to

You said that DNA is the "densest storage mechanism known in the universe" - I think it could be you.

@ Jordan

Difficult to construct anything from unsupported speculation, unfounded assertions and pure fantasy you have offered up under the guise of sensible debate.

You are outgunned, outhought, and have no evidence to offer.

Try again.

@Old Man: I can construct

@Old Man: I can construct something from that:
I have honestly found most of Jordan's posts to be unsupported speculation, unfounded assertions and pure fantasy . While he has offered these things up under the guise of a sensible debate, it is all unsupported speculation at best. While we all love and respect Jordan, when it comes to his posts, he is outgunned, out thought, and basically has nothing in the way of evidence to support his positions.

I can't wait to see what inane BS comes next. I hope he tries again.

"No wonder you can’t even

"No wonder you can’t even fathom the concept of anything outside of what the all knowing scientists tell you,"

It's sad you can't see the hilarity of claiming you have access to some esoteric knowledge unavailable to science, one wonders what this is, and how you can objectively validate it? Revealed in a prayer, a disembodied voice from a burning bush, or did you just feel it "in your heart"?

I'd advise you to lay off the ad hominem, and particularly hurling insults like thick around as well, and for fairly obvious reasons.

"I’m going to have to go niceand (sic) slow "

Good to know, I'm sure we're all a little wrong footed by the sheer pace of your charmless, witless drivel.

"How do you suppose all of reality came to be?"

I don't know, and neither do you.

"Also does anyone know the answer to how single cell organisms began evolving to two sex organism?"

Yes, many people know. Biologists know. If you really want to know try asking Google. I'm sure you can find many good sources explaining it. I have neither the time nor the crayons. Since you asked here and not Google I suspect you are not interested in learning anyway.

Thousands of years ago our ancestors could not explain what caused thunder. So they created gods like Zeus and Thor to explain it. Today scientists can explain what causes thunder completely naturally and anyone who believes it is caused by Zeus would be thought quite mad. To attribute the origin of the universe or life to your particular deity simply because we do not have, or cannot understand, a natural explanation is to commit the same argument from ignorance fallacy today as our ancestors attributing thunder to Zeus and Thor.

Hey, good call on not wasting perfectly good crayons on Jordan. He'd likely just eat them anyway.

@ Tin Man

Well, this isn't written in crayon so it will probably travel over Jordan's head at supersonic speed. https://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/sexual-reproduction-and-the-ev...

All I did was google Jordan's question and ...VOILA!

So we can add "Internet Idiot" to an impressive list of achievements.

I like the "I think it is counter intuitive for order to arise out of disorder". From what order could arise then? Then, what scientific studies did he link so that we could see for ourselves?

Jordan: "How do you suppose

Jordan: "How do you suppose all reality came to be?" "Also does anyone know the answer to how single cell organisms began evolving to two sex organisms?"

A better question would have been "Hey, Chimp3! What do you do for a living? What subjects did you study in college?"

Well, thanks Jordan. I am a registered nurse and work in rehab/ long term care/ palliative care. I took more Psychology courses than was required for my degree. I took classes such as "Film as Literature". So, you should now know that I am greatly under qualified to answer the questions that the greatest scientists are still trying to solve. I have no fucking idea. Neither do you.

Jordan: What evidence of Would need to believe in a Creator?

I need you to give me a substantive description of your creator. That may give me a place to start asking for evidence. I don't know what a god is or where it is. What is it made of. Does it have nipples and testicles as portrayed in old statues? Why? Is it a mammal?

@chimp3

So if you don’t know what God is you could say you wouldn’t recognize evidence even if there were?

@Jordan

@Jordan

Because you know what your purported God is?

Jordan: "So if you don’t know what God is you could say you wouldn’t recognize evidence even if there were?"

Possibly. Is this god capable of demonstrating evidence for itself that is easily recognizable?

"So if you don’t know what God is you could say you wouldn’t recognize evidence even if there were?"

How the fuck can you evidence anything if you don't even know what it is. A goggleywobble exists, I don't know what it is, but all life is too complex not for it to exist. Christ on a bike...
