This is quite funny. If my words truly didn't move you, then you wouldn't feel the need to respond with this veiled threat. Read your response here very carefully. "I'm not hurt, but I'll hurt you back" -- that's exactly how you sound. The truth here, which you seem not to realize is that I'm actually not trying to hurt your feelings. I'm simply just trying to hold you strictly accountable for your actions and your arguments. I'm trying to correct you. You're the one who can't tell the difference. The things you say are often not consistent with the things you do, and I'll continue pointing that out until you level with me. As for your threat, I'm really not impressed. I've seen more convincing bluster from a child who's been told they can't have ice cream at a birthday party.



Your "fair assessment" is about as fair as a rigged coin toss. Calling me manipulative and domineering is a cheap shot, especially coming from someone who enjoys crafting spurious narratives about me. You've been dodging my questions for months now. You've assumed various things about me, but you've never backed up your claims with any true evidence. I can perfectly articulate the reasons why I think you've been dishonest with me. I can also walk through the logic that led me to conclude that you're a time-waster and shadowboxer. Can you do the same and prove to me that I have manipulated you or "dominated" you anywhere? I'm even curious to know your definition of "manipulation". Is it when someone is trying to clarify things to you in a way you never understood before? Is it when you struggle to come up with a convincing response to a decent argument?



That's a lie. Stop trying to downplay your history of the backhanded comments and dishonest assumptions you've made about me by claiming that you only ever referred to me twice. Prior to these two events you've highlighted here, you once asserted that I subscribe to Epicureanism without providing a shred of evidence to support your claim. Then there's the thread where you name-dropped me out of nowhere to claim that I'm not a logical thinker simply because I'm an atheist, as if capacity for logical thinking was dependent on whether someone believes in God or not. You made these claims in threads where I hadn't even participated. You were the one who went out of your way to bring me up. Before all of this, we've only ever engaged in an argument once, where you claimed that atheism was illogical, and I kept asking you to use the knowledge you claimed you obtained from certain academic literature to support your argument. If I recall properly, you still weren't able to do so up until the end of the thread. You're trying to avoid taking responsibility for your own behavior and instead making me out to be the villain, but the facts speak for themselves. You have a history of making unsubstantiated claims and random assumptions about me, and it is well-documented here.



This argument has made me understand what your problem really is. You see, the problem with constantly making assumptions about a particular individual without caring to ask them is that you seem obsessive, first of all. Secondly, you risk looking like a fool when all your assumptions are wrong. It can also be perceived as rude and dishonest because you demonstrate that you do not care what they think, and that you'd rather make unjustified conclusions about them instead of trying to get the facts. I hold a nuanced view on Epicureanism, and I detest people trying to retrofit me into a particular box. My atheism has nothing to do with my capacity for logical thinking. If you really want to develop a proper understanding through conversations, you must ask questions instead of making assumptions. Ask me what I think, how I feel, or what I know. Don't assume you already know the answers, because chances are, you don't.



I called you a rabble rouser because your behavior consistently aligns with the definition of a rabble-rouser: someone who stirs up trouble or discontent. Your constant trolling by trying to get a reaction from me by making backhanded comments without mentioning me, as well as avoidance of substantive debate up until just recently are all hallmarks of rabble-rousing behavior. Your superficial references to academic works and your inability to provide coherent arguments based on those works made me conclude that you're more interested in appearing intelligent than actually being intelligent -- which is the very definition of pseudo-intelligence. That's why I called you a fraud. Thankfully, you seem to have decided to finally brace up and do the heavy lifting in the other thread, so I'm willing to re-examine these accusations if you can prove me wrong. I called you those things because they accurately describe your behavior and the way you've been conducting yourself in these forums. If you're offended by the truth, then maybe that's a problem you need to address. I like to tell it how it is no matter how painful it sounds, and I like people that tell it how it is, so long as they can backup their claims with facts. For example, your accusation of me being a bully and control-freak doesn't add up when examined closely. Just because I enjoy discussing on clear terms and conditions to avoid the risk of logical fallacies or misinterpretation doesn't mean I like to control people. Also, all I have done before now is simply point out that you've been dodging my questions and avoiding substantive debate. That's not control-freak behavior. I have the right to call out someone I perceive is being intellectually dishonest. It doesn't make me a control freak, or manipulator, or the thousand and one other aspersions you cast on me.
You are becoming softer than you were when it all started. Thanks for that. I now see you as human and not some monsters and I feel pleased

Thing is, I'm sorry if i ever appeared dishonest in any of my dealings with you, trust me, thats not who i am in anyway.




The reason why i called you "Manipulative" is because I feel you apply double-standard in every debate. When your insult others, you call it a fair assessment and even gaslight them into believing thats what they are by bringing up references and justifications but when they do same to you, you call it " fallacy ad hominem" and start saying they are doing that cause they feel threatened by you or because they couldnt match up with you intellectually and that they are sore losers. Thats manipulating na




My attempt to run away or dodge your questions stem from my own fears actually. I do not feel threatened by you tho and i dont follow you around but i just kinda have fears about some particular things and thats why i havent being too straightforward with you since

Kindly put those rude remarks aside, I would like to make some confessions first, I guess i've grown past the anger phase and I have to accept some things that i cant change for now, pending till my further reading

So,kindly assure me that u wont look down on me after making the confession. Dont overthink it tho, its not a biggie... Its still something related to this God/Atheism arguement. So can i?

RomanceRe: DNA Test Results Are Lies: There Is No Such Thing As DNA, Claims Muslim Cleric by CyrusVI(m): 4:47pm On Sep 03, 2024
JessicaRabbit:
You're only saying this because you don't understand how science works. In science, probabilities and possibilities are not about believing something without evidence. They're about assessing the likelihood of a particular outcome based on the data and evidence we have. It's a fundamental aspect of scientific inquiry, and it's what allows us to refine our understanding of the world. When it comes to science, we don't deal in absolute certainties. Instead, we operate on a spectrum of confidence, with evidence and experimentation guiding conclusions being made. When we talk about probabilities and possibilities, we're discussing the relative likelihood of different explanations based on the available evidence. So, when I discuss probabilities and possibilities, I'm not asking you to "just believe" something without evidence. I'm asking you to consider the cumulative weight of evidence from multiple lines of inquiry, which collectively support the idea that life can arise through natural means.



What does atheism have to do with this? Can't you just relax and examine the facts? I apply the same standards of evidence and critical thinking to both scientific claims and religious ones. As a matter of fact, I could argue that you're the one being inconsistent here by trying to exempt your beliefs from scrutiny. I'm not dismissing the experiment's limitations because I'm an atheist. I'm only interested in a nuanced understanding of the science. What you don't understand is that in science, probabilities can indeed be taken as facts when they're based on empirical data and testable hypotheses. The probability of amino acids forming under certain conditions, for instance, can be calculated and experimentally verified. But the probability of a supernatural entity creating life? That's not something that can be measured or tested, and therefore, it's not something that can be taken as fact.



Scientific inquiry is a self-correcting process that seeks to refine our understanding of the world through evidence and experimentation. Religious explanations, on the other hand, are often static and unchanging, relying on dogma rather than empirical evidence. Obviously they're two very different things, but if you don't feel the need to respond because of this fundamental misunderstanding you seem to have, that's your prerogative.



This isn't a game where we award points for effort, so I don't get what you mean by "it's a draw". You can't have science and critical thinking, without evidence and testable hypotheses. If your explanation relies on faith or unproven assumptions, then it's simply not a valid explanation. By the way, we don't need to document events from millions of years ago to understand what happened. We have evidence from geology, paleontology, and other fields that help us reconstruct the past.



We've been through this already. I've already addressed the experiment's significance and limitations, and none of your points so far validate your claims. You don't prove an argument by poking holes in alternative theories. If you're going to claim that intelligent design is a viable explanation, then provide some testable evidence. So far, I've seen none.



Listen, I'm sick and tired of hearing these sad songs about your fragile feelings, It's beginning to make this discussion a boring chore for me. If your mental health can't handle having a rigorous exchange that prioritizes critical thinking and focusing on the facts, then I'm left to wonder why you continue to suffer yourself in these conversations. Are you a glutton for punishment? Obviously, your self-esteem is tied to these frivolous arguments and that's why you take any pushback against your arguments as a personal attack, when they're actually not. You need to grow up and stop expecting people to pet you because your ego can't handle criticism. If you don't want to continue this debate, that's fine. I don't have to be responsible for your mental health.
Firstly, I understand how Science works. You dont know my field of study or what where i even work, so stop saying i dont understand how science works just because i asked you some valid questions. You could go on with your point without having to outightly dismiss my knowledge of science. That statement wasnt needed and its a fallacy


Secondly, You keep mentioning probabilies as if there were only ome likelihood for those events. You cant bring in one probability to fill in those gaps in such a way that it would perfectly fit into your narrative. It makes it sound like you're writing a script of a fictional story
We couldnt have known for sure what the atmospheric condition was when it all started, but to assume that it was same as what was simulated in the lab, especially when the condition outside the test tubes looks different, is too big an assumption to make and theres never gonna be any invention or "refining experiment" in the future that can be used to ascertain what it was.


Now, to my main point.
Thing is, presenting my proof for intelligent design is gonna be hard now, My plan was to bring all that up after "poking holes in all the scientific theories" I have read about. That would give me a soft landing


So, Would u allow me move on to the next theory now(lets put Miller-Urey experiment behind), but I promise that if you could still find a way around this one, then I might just have to go the hard way by bringing up the intelligent design defense i have

What do you say, ma
