Bottom line: Neither of us can prove anything. That's why this discussion is in the free for all section. It is not scientific and it is open to any theory, fantasy, or belief.
Actually, it's in the
Free For All forum because Buzsaw, though courteous and sincere, tends through his remarkable insistance about some things to draw a thread's focus away from the topic and onto himself. The primary issue concerns the connections he sees between evidence and conclusions that no one else sees, which wouldn't be so bad by itself, none of us are perfect interpreting evidence, but in Buzsaw's case his questionable conclusions from questionable evidence are followed by pages and pages of claims that he's therefore proven his point and bested the evolutionists and need say no more. Naturally this tends to tie threads in knots. Underlying this all is what appears to be a fundamental misunderstanding concerning what makes any particular evidence relevant to an issue.
The history is that this is the second time Buzsaw has been asked to cease his participation in the science forums. After the first time Buzsaw requested readmission, stating that he now understood he needed to provide evidence, so I granted the request. But the result was that Buzsaw merely began using the word "evidence" a lot without actually producing any evidence that supported his positions.
