Re: Manners!
First of all - this morning I've been able to reply to any message (but I haven't had time) through my initial username "yxifix", you cancelled my ban. And now? It is banned again! I haven't written any message.! So what is this? What's the reason now? Is this fair?

And now tell me... where did I say he is lying? I see a word "if" there... you don't? ...so what is this again? Do you think, or is he just your friend? Where is a justice again?
You are somewhat confused on what you are asking for. And you are mudding up topics with your rants. You will take a break to reconsider what you are actually asking for and then pick the right place to post. I'll be back in about 24 hours to let you try again.
You have access to the suggestions and Free for all forum.
Well, I have just waited to see how fair you are in this... what will you do with my ban. But you did nothing really.
So I'll wait some more time... then I'll show you proofs and we will see who is confused here (please don't say I'm as you look like that, sorry, but I mean it seriously).
AdminNosy, I can change a username as well as I can change my IP ... if you think you can tell me unfairly "you will thake a break" and ban somebody for good, you are wrong of course. All I want from you is to be fair ! I know some people in the forum are you friends but if you are not going to change your behaviour in this way, I'll behave similar way as I don't see any reason to show a respect to unfair and ignorant people. :-(

Sorry, I forgot the 24 hours had passed.
Attempting to by pass suspensions will get you banned but that isn't under my control.

Before reading this please read also my last replies to Loudmouth and Pink Sasquatch in discussion Origin of Life -> Proof against evolution (messages 425, 428). There are 2 proofs (1. God exists, 2. Evolution is nonsense) ....but I'll mention something from those replies in this one as well. But you have to read those as well before replying to this post. Thanks.
mark24 writes:
I am not interested in how information got here. I’m not making an argument that requires evidence
All right.
If you can't... you are lying that you have one... UNDERSTOOD? And that means Theory of evolution is not scientific-based theory!
Sorry, you hear the truth.
In order to lie, I have to be perpetrating deliberate falsehoods, since that isn’t the case, I expect an apology.
(you are saying = "evolution is science based on evidence" (but that evidence have been presented by nobody so far) = so I said - "show me evidence you are talking about")
No apology.
Again, I said "if you can't give me evidence then you're lying". That means I didn't say you are lying.... but you've been just talking about shifting burden of proof, so I don't know if you can or can't explain it, that means again the same - because of that I didn't say you are lying ...and this is called logic. Logic is needed to be used before replying the way you did. So again, no apology needed - a reason doesn't exist. Invalid.
Logic is about consistency. In order to make a valid argument you must follow certain rules. If those rules aren’t followed then your argument is logically invalid. It’s not playing word games. Pick any book up on the subject of logic. Go to any website that deals with logic & argument & you’ll get the same story everywhere you go........
Please, don't even try to teach anybody about logic. I know Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V is not difficult to use (I use it even myself from time to time).... but don't teach anybody about things all you know about is just a definition but you don't really understand what does that mean.
Your assertion that information cannot come about naturally at all is an assertion, nothing more, you have no evidence for it
Demagogy! I didn't say it. You know it. ...I said information can't be created without another information by accident. Read it 10 times.
Evidence? No problem:
Lets have a look at some logical facts (evidences):
Accident:
1. By accident can be created something meaningless or meaningful [for existing intelligence (entity)]. (see 2)
2. If there is created something meaningful by accident, only an existing intelligence or a program created by intelligence [which is able to understand such thing created by accident] (or something that uses such program) can use it or understand what it is.
Information:
1. By information can be created something meaningless or meaningful [for existing intelligence (entity)] information, program. (see 2)
2. The information can be created only by existing intelligence or by a program created by intelligece (or something that uses such program).
Please remember this, this is very important.
Everything mentioned are logical facts.
So problem solved for cosmology and abiogenesis. (don't forget, you have to read those two replies to Loudmouth and Pink Sasq... there is more)
This is evidence for premise = a proof that God ('higher intelligence') exists.
I conclude, because you cannot prove otherwise, that somewhere in the ocean is a talking fish called Eric. If you cannot disprove that there is a talking fish called Eric in the ocean, then you are forced by your own reasoning to accept my conclusion.
Well, if you say there is talking fish called Eric somewhere in the ocean that means it is a science based on evidence? ...could you please tell us all (in this forum, everybody is surely interested) what is a difference between Theory of Evolution and Theory of Existance of talking fish Eric in the ocean. Thank you, mark!!!
Don't forget, this has nothing with a proof against the evolution, this is just a question I would like to know the answer, so no need to talk about shifting burden of proof. Again. Thank you for the answer, in case you'll forget to answer, I'll ask again.
Your argument is of the form that because the genetic code has not been observed to appear naturally, it couldn’t have, therefore god-did-it.
It is the premise is in contention. You have to show that the genetic code could not form naturally in order to have an evidentially supported premise.
Yes, the theory of evolution is based around evidence & not fancies, & if you intend to falsify it you are required to provide evidence of YOUR claims.
No, evolution is not based around evidence. But ok, if you still want to play word-games, lets play word-games... no problem for me:
A PROOF EVOLUTION IS NONSENSE
Premise:
Evolution is nonsense. Genetic code can't be created by accident, there is needed somebody who can create it - an existing intelligence.
Evidence :
As I already said:
quote:
Accident:
1. By accident can be created something meaningless or meaningful [for existing intelligence (entity)]. (see 2)
2. If there is created something meaningful by accident, only an existing intelligence or a program created by intelligence [which is able to understand such thing created by accident] (or something that uses such program) can use it or understand what it is.
Information:
1. By information can be created something meaningless or meaningful [for existing intelligence (entity)] information, program. (see 2)
2. The information can be created only by existing intelligence or by a program created by intelligece (or something that uses such program).
Everything mentioned are logical facts.
So as already prooved it's sure, information is created by information -> there is absolutely no way it could create itself by accident... that's the prooved fact. You can't fool a fact. So what does this mean?
a) it is prooved that non-living things can't understand what they did by accident because an itelligence is missing.
b) it is prooved that if we want a non-living material to create something meaningful (for us) it is always needed an intelligence to create a program for this non-living thing so it can create something meaningful (for us).
So before any process of non-living material can happen, information must be given only by some intelligence (as already prooved above) [I'll call it God]
So if information is created by information (as prooved) that means:
information => an atom
information => a bacteria
information => DNA code
information => a cell
information => life
Without information there can't be created information by accident as prooved before. That means also that a cell exists just because of information. That information is called DNA code actually... but DNA code (information) can't be created by accident without another information (in this example it is a cell) .... and... a cell can't be created by accident without already existing information (in this example it is a DNA code!!!) ....so as I said this is a point where whole theory just stops!!!
Without DNA code there is no cell = without a cell there is no DNA code.
Without DNA code there is no vision = without vision there is no DNA code for vision created!
etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc
It is also a logical fact that there can't be done any research about thing to find out how it was created by accident when it is already prooved that it can't be created by accident
And that means (according to mentioned proofs) all you are doing is, that you are using intelligence - God to create such thing as DNA code, a cell, vision etc etc!!! In other way Theory of evolution says God created a man !!! and in other way Theory of evolution is lying that God didn't do that ! ! !.... because that's prooved that information can't create itself by accident - so DNA code can't create itself by accident.
And this is called A proof that evolution is just a fiction, that it is nonsense.
So, mark... I hope you are happy with premise and evidence, aren't you?

Before reading this please read all of these posts:
Message 213 in this thread
Messages 425, 428 in Origin of Life - Proof against evolution (one of those is a reply to one of your posts)
Loudmouth writes:
If information was there at the beginning of the universe, then life is possible through the reconstruction of that information. So, once the universe is in place, then life is possible through natural means. Since evolution nor abiogenesis deals with the Big Bang, then evolution and abiogenesis need not explain where the already existant information came from. Understand??
....I think you have already read mentioned replies and now you know you have a problem....
Let's shift the focus. Do you accept the laws of gravity (eg inverse square law)?
Can anyone explain where gravity came from?
Yes, I accept the laws of gravity. And as already prooved many many times... the only explanation how they were created is that Somebody (existing intelligence) had to say they will be as they are. I think it's clear for you now.
Don't you remember my first post in "Origin of Life->Proof against evolution" thread? If you will draw a circle on a paper it will be a circle not square because you decided so. If you will say that 0001 is for blue .... it will not be brown, it will be blue, because you said so.
If not, then why do you explain your acceptance of the laws of gravity? The laws of gravity require information, do they not? Unless you can explain where that information came from, then you should not accept that gravity exists.
Already explained.
quote:
So your argument is Evolution is science-based -> Then show me evidence FOR your premise, mark. I'll be happy to read it
Are you denying that evolution is based on measurable, objective evidence?
Demagogy! Where did I say it? Please, quote me.
Let's move to an analogy. Let's pretend that you are going to build a car. Now, do you have to know where the iron came from in order to build the car? Or, does the origination of the iron not matter, only the process of making the car? Why does it matter where the information came from? All that matters is that the informatin, in the form of atomic laws, was there to begin with. Everything after is the process of abiogenesis and evolution.
OK, read answers in replies mentioned at the top of this message.

No apology.
No, I said no such thing. Please stop putting words in my mouth, or I'll start putting some in yours. Deal? How about I pretend you said you want sex with children? Not nice, is it? You called me a liar. I have not knowingly perpetrated a falsehood. I expect an apology. Thus far you have exhibited exactly the sort of non-Christian behaviour I expect from creationists. Have you no shame?
Do you accept the need for logic when consructing arguments?
1/ Please provide a cite that deals with formal logic that supports your contention that I need to prove you wrong, otherwise you are right.
2/ Please provide a cite that deals with formal logic that supports your contention that when you make a positive assertion the burden of proof is on me.
3/ Please describe what you understand as "logic", & provide a cite supporting your definition.
Lets have a look at some logical facts (evidences):
Accident:
1. By accident can be created something meaningless or meaningful [for existing intelligence (entity)]. (see 2)

This is evidence for premise = a proof that God ('higher intelligence') exists.
ALL OF THE ABOVE ARE ASSERTIONS! A totally evidence-free diatribe. It is NOT a FACT that information cannot appear naturally until you have EVIDENTIALLY established it. Logic is not a fact. Do I have to teach what evidence is as well as logic?
Well, if you say there is talking fish called Eric somewhere in the ocean that means it is a science based on evidence?
Wha....?
...could you please tell us all (in this forum, everybody is surely interested) what is a difference between Theory of Evolution and Theory of Existance of talking fish Eric in the ocean. Thank you, mark!!!
Yes, the ToE has the Burden of Proof upon it, & yxifix-logico-talking-fish doesn't!
Don't forget, this has nothing with a proof against the evolution, this is just a question I would like to know the answer, so no need to talk about shifting burden of proof. Again. Thank you for the answer, in case you'll forget to answer, I'll ask again.
I'll forget to answer? Actually, you forgot to answer.
Because I have asserted ,without any evidence at all there is a talking fish called Eric in the ocean, & you have no evidence to the contrary, then you if you are being consistent then you must accept that as a fact. YES OR NO?
All you have done is moved the goalposts & avoided the question.
By your "reasoning" you have to accept Eric as being fact, because that's exactly the line of reasoning you have taken with your other "proofs". If you say no, then you are a hypocrite. Most people would be embarrassed to be caught out in this way. You see my bolded text, above? I have made a positive assertion, & unless you "prove" me wrong, you must accept I'm right, right? Furthermore, the burden of proof is on you to prove me wrong, right?
Say hello to Eric, he's real, yxifix "logic" says so! Has the penny dropped yet? Surely even a creationist must get this!? This is a hypothetical scenario where you are supposed to learn something, as opposed to dig yourself deeper. Does the word "consistency" mean anything to you?
No disrepect, yxifix, but how old are you?
Mark
PS If you want evidence of evolution, then open another thread, & I'll happily oblige. What is NOT going be allowed is you misdirecting attention from your ignorance of logic & evidence.

OH MAN ! ! ! ! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

Unbelievable!

Until you're able to express these "proofs" coherently, they don't really prove anything.
I'm sorry but your posts are simply incomprehensible. If you want to argue with us you need to do a much better job of expressing yourself. Until then we literally don't have much of an idea of what you're saying.

The sense of which, however, no one can suss out but you. So what have you accomplished? Even if you have the truth and we don't, what does it serve for you to conceal it in nonsense?

This was your original quote. Now listen very, very carefully. The quote you made was AFTER you called me a liar. You called me a liar in post 206. I made the above quote in post 209. That means I wasn't lying. In fact, open another thread, & I'll smash your arrogant pasty little ass. But here, I'm trashing your logic.
Now apologise for calling me a liar. Are you really a Christian, or don't "real" Christians apologise? I only ask because in another thread there are Christians wondering at atheistic morality. I guess they should put their own house in order, first.
Waaaaauuuu...... I'M AMAZED ! ! ! ! ! ! FANTASTIC !
OH MAN ! ! ! ! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I'm talking about nothing you said was actually factual. I thought I was clear. Why do you think think the fact that you provided no empirical evidence is funny? Tragic, yes, but funny?
Now, you apparently, & I can only consider that given your record that you deliberately & dishonestly ignored the salient points. Here they are again:
1/ Please provide a cite that deals with formal logic that supports your contention that I need to prove you wrong, otherwise you are right.
2/ Please provide a cite that deals with formal logic that supports your contention that when you make a positive assertion the burden of proof is on me.

This was your original quote. Now listen very, very carefully. The quote you made was AFTER you called me a liar. You called me a liar in post 206. I made the above quote in post 209. That means I wasn't lying. In fact, open another thread, & I'll smash your arrogant pasty little ass. But here, I'm trashing your logic.
Exactly. You are right about those posts but you forgot something:
Evolution is saying = "I'm based on evidence", you are an evolutionist. So that means you are saying "Evolution is based on evidence."
It's like mathematics .... you are saying "I played football 20+20 minutes" ..... so I said "you played 40 minutes" .... than you are saying "you liar I didn't say it !!! I'm awaiting apology! " THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, mark.
So in your other post you just prooved that 20+20=40. Once again. No apology needed. No reason. Invalid.
So all I said about logic in that post still stands, of course.
And don't let me to start discussion about talking fish named Eric ... I would wipe out your words and "arguments" as easily as everything else. You can think you speak howsoever complicated but you thinking is very simple. And that's what is important. All you are saying is just about "you can write whatever I'll never answer you".
Btw, about those logical facts about Accident and Information - you are real entertainer.
My age is not important.
I have finished with prooving. I did it. You can say whatever you like.
Live in your world of fantasy, as well.

I think you have already read mentioned replies and now you know you have a problem
No I don't. Since evolution and abiogenesis work equally whether the initial information was created or accidental it is not a problem.
quote:
Yes, I accept the laws of gravity. And as already prooved many many times... the only explanation how they were created is that Somebody (existing intelligence) had to say they will be as they are. I think it's clear for you now.
No, you haven't proven anything, you have only asserted that information requires an intelligent creator. You have yet to supply any evidence that supports your view.
quote:
OK, read answers in replies mentioned at the top of this message.
No, I want an answer here. You don't need to know where the iron comes from to build a car. For the same reason, evolution nor abiogenesis need to explain where the first information came from. Also, just like gravity, these areas can be studied without ever knowing where matter or the laws of thermodynamics or the laws of gravity came from. Instead, evolution and abiogenesis are an explanation of natural forces that we can test today.

yxifix,
I have finished with prooving. I did it. You can say whatever you like.
Live in your world of fantasy, as well.
The only person living in a fantasy world is you. A world where you say what you like & expect to furnish no evidence whatsoever. You refuse to act logically, you refuse to supply cites to support your logical contentions. In essence, you argument boils down to, "it is, I said so, so there".
My nine year old niece has a better grasp of logic than you. It is quite telling that you think elementary logic is complicated.
The reason you can't answer my request for cites supporting your logic is because you don't have them. An intellectually honest person would have at least checked, but I doubt you even did that. The reason you refuse to answer the Eric the fish conundrum is because it shows you to be the hypocrite you are. It's crashingly obvious that I am supposed to support my contention rather than expect you to refute it. But accepting that would cause your little house-of-cards to come crashing down, wouldn't it? It would mean you would have to show evidential support for information not being able to form naturally. And that, my friend, you don't have.
At the end of the day there is no point debating with someone who refuses to deal with points raised in a logical step-by-step fashion.
Mark

There are 10 kinds of people in this world; those that understand binary, & those that don't

So in your other post you just prooved that 20+20=40. Once again. No apology needed. No reason. Invalid.
Don't you await apology anymore? Let me guess why.....

...could you please tell us all (in this forum, everybody is surely interested) what is a difference between Theory of Evolution and Theory of Existance of talking fish Eric in the ocean. Don't forget, this has nothing with a proof against the evolution, this is just a question I would like to know the answer, so no need to talk about shifting burden of proof.
mark24 writes:
Yes, the ToE has the Burden of Proof upon it, & yxifix-logico-talking-fish doesn't!
Assertion. You have to show evidence for your premise! ...invalid
Because I have asserted ,without any evidence at all there is a talking fish called Eric in the ocean, & you have no evidence to the contrary
I don't have to have. I asked what is a difference. Again, you have to show evidence for your premise. Shifting the Burden of Proof.... invalid.
By your "reasoning" you have to accept Eric as being fact, because that's exactly the line of reasoning you have taken with your other "proofs". If you say no, then you are a hypocrite.
Again, you have showed no evidence, shifting a burden of proof.
by the way ....hypocrite? "I'm awaiting apology." [EHMMMMM]
You see my bolded text, above? I have made a positive assertion, & unless you "prove" me wrong, you must accept I'm right, right? Furthermore, the burden of proof is on you to prove me wrong, right?
You are very confused man. You probably don't even know what you are talking about. You have made an assertion. I didn't say I want to proove you are wrong, I just asked what's the difference. That's all. So, no the burden of proof is on you. Sorry man.
The reason you can't answer my request for cites supporting your logic is because you don't have them.
The same. I don't have to have one. ....invalid.
An intellectually honest person would have at least checked, but I doubt you even did that. The reason you refuse to answer the Eric the fish conundrum is because it shows you to be the hypocrite you are.
Once again... apology from your side is needed -> according to you. So I think you will apologize. If not, you are against your own words.
It would mean you would have to show evidential support for information not being able to form naturally. And that, my friend, you don't have.
Are you sure... (read next post)
No disrepect, yxifix, but how old are you?
No disrepect, mark, and how old are you? ehm
You see, mark? You are very simple - that's your very simple thinking I was talking about. You just stuck in your own words - that means you are just talking talking talking, but don't really understand what about. I'm sure all you know are only definitions but you don't know how to use it practically. That's very sad you want to teach anybody about it.
If you would think you are the smartest and the most clever, don't think like that, it's not good basis on which you can base a discussion with anybody.
