    Evolution quite clearly is not his field. And yet, I am clearly more expert in the field of evolution than he is.

    I don't think he claims to have anything making your assertion logically fallacious.

    Yes, its easy to bamboozle someone with no scientific knowledge whatsoever, especially when he is on record as not wanting to learn any more.

    really? How do you know what he has studied so that you can make the claim that you know more about it than he does?

    He claimed:
    For me, such design simply could not have evolved.


    Now either he is claiming to have something, or he just pulled that out of where the sun don't shine.

    I think we both agree that he doesn't have anything that would stand up to scientific scrutiny - hence his choice to try and peddle it to uneducated folk like you.

    From the statement you quoted him making - it is obvious.

    Its a subjective reality, why you should have a problem with it I cannot say.

    No its not obvious, you have made a claim that you know more about evolution than him, you were asked how you came to that conclusion, surely you must have made a comparison of what he has studied and what you have studied or are we to assume that your statement is based on nothing but your own arrogance and your ignorance of what he has studied.

    Where does he state that he does not want to learn anymore, is this another claim that you have arrogantly made without the slightest evidence?

    As suspected twithead has arrogantly made claims that he cannot substantiate, fabricated untruths and has shown himself to be a thoroughly disreputable character in the process. No surprises there.

    Do you agree with this?
    I posted that linked about 2 years ago - you should have been a lawyer!

For me, such design simply could not have evolved.

    For your edification, here is an article by a former Jehovah's Witness turned atheist. 🙂

    Reality, is not subjective. Either something could have evolved, or it couldn't. There is nothing subjective about it.
