I would love to believe ... that when I die I will live again - Carl Sagan

[Fantastic Anarchist]

24. So, you'll huff and you'll puff and you'll build a straw man.

You don't know if I'm an atheist or not. You're trying to explain evolution to me but it's like talking to a creationist? Are you kidding me?

I actually don't care what you believe. I purposely never espoused as to what I believe, because it shouldn't matter to anyone but myself. However, you did, in fact, state something factually that you can't prove. And it's not like proving a negative, so don't be intellectually dishonest. I'm also saying I can't prove anything, either (I can use bolded italics, too). Not to worry though; seems like you got hot and bothered because you were called out on expressing a fact, which you nor I could support (it's unknowable). You illustrate the hubris that the creationists use. That you know for a fact that you won't exist. Well, not that I care what you believe, but your statement was, in fact, incorrect. I called you on it, and now you're getting all huffy and puffy and trying to back-peddle it just enough to try and save some face.

Again, and let me make this abundantly clear; I don't care what you believe. It matters not to me. My only concern, as posed in my original question to you, is how do you know for a "fact?" The fact is, you don't. You're flippant response about "God" telling you so, shows how you were caught in intellectual quicksand. I explained why neither of us knew, and it seemed to have pushed your buttons, because you came back with a two-paragraph straw man.
