betsy Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Where are the trilobites, betsy? You haven't explained about the trilobytes. How come? Uh-oh....I hope this is not Theobold's 29 Evidences being regurgitated again.....we've already dealt with that! Theobold's a goner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After about twenty attempts at asking, you still can't answer the question. You're a coward, betsy; hiding from what challenges your precious beliefs.

You're a coward, betsy; hiding from what challenges your precious beliefs. Now now, it's not cowardise. Facts that do not match a litteral interpreration of the Bible do not exist.

Saipan Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 See here. You still don't know what happen to mammoths? Wasn't that only few thousand years ago? Yet, scientists claim they know what happen 60 million years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g_bambino Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Yet, scientists claim they know what happen 60 million years ago They do. You seem to confuse that with scientists saying they know everything. None ever said that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betsy Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) After about twenty attempts at asking, you still can't answer the question. You're a coward, betsy; hiding from what challenges your precious beliefs. How can I answer when you don't explain your point? All I'm saying is, don't you resurrect any of the rubbish 29 so-called Evidences of Theobold! We're through with Theobold! He's already been ridiculed and refuted - even by some evolutionist scientists! So you keep repeating the mantra of "trilobites." I don't want to go into a guessing game as to what you're on about! Since you're using trilobites as your argument, it's only sensible to expect that the onus is on you to explain what exactly is your argument! So, you say trilobites.... What about them? What's your point? EXPLAIN! Respond accordingly and put your money where your mouth is. Don't make me yell.

g_bambino Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 How can I answer when you don't explain your point? By dropping the pretense that you need to know the question has a point and what that point is before giving an answer. It's just a delay tactic; another way for you to lamely avoid answering, because, quite evidently, you can't. At least, not in a way that fits with your current, and cherished, belief system.

It's just a delay tactic; another way for you to lamely avoid answering, because, quite evidently, you can't. At least, not in a way that fits with your current, and cherished, belief system. Well, all you have to do is explain your point! What's up with the trilobites? Then you'll know whether I'd avoid giving the answer! C'mon. State your argument precisely. What's so hard about that? What have you got to lose? Who's using delay tactics here? IT WAS YOU WHO BROUGHT UP THE TRILOBITES - SEVERAL TIMES! WHY DID YOU BRING THEM UP? IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR OWN ARGUMENT! EXPLAIN WHAT IS IT YOU'RE ARGUING ABOUT! This is a forum! Not a Guessing Game! We're not psychic here who could read minds! Admit it! You can't explain your own argument....because I suspect, you don't have any! Prove me wrong. What about your precious trilobites? Explain! That is, IF you can.

g_bambino Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Well, all you have to do is explain your point! No, I don't. That's what I said to you about dropping the pretense (i.e. deflection tactic) that I do. What's up with the trilobites? That's what I asked you.

That's what I asked you. Bambino: Where are the trilobites, betbet? Betsy: Say, what? Bambino: The trilobites. Betsy: Oh...<waiting for more> Bambino: Betbet.... Betsy: What? Bambino: What about the trilobites? Betsy: What about them? <waiting for more> Bambino: BETSY! I said, the trilobites! Betsy: I KNOW WHAT YOU SAID! TRILOBITES! Bambino: What about them? Betsy: What about them? <waiting> Bambino: Betsy, you're using delaying tactics! Betsy: I am? B-but...I've been waiting for your explanation... Bambino: So, what about the trilobites? Betsy: WHAT ABOUT THEM???? <whispers> He doesn't know how to explain his argument. Edited August 25, 2011 by betsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogOnPorch Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 WHAT ABOUT THEM???? Where did they go? They must have been 'created' at the same time as everything else including the Black Death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Bandelot Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Think I saw the trilobytes on "Star Trek". There was thousands of them on the ship, and they made everybody feel happy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, now you've gone and ruined all her efforts at directing our attention away from the question and undone her charade that that question was never asked in the first place. Now she has to start all over again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betsy Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) Just to take it back to the beginning: Your cue, betsy... You're asking: What's a trilobite? How long ago did they live? Where are they today? I'll repeat my answer: So explain what a trilobite is. How long ago did they live? Where are they today? WHAT'S YOUR POINT? Obviously you think you've got a solid argument behind the trilobite. Then, spit it out! EXPLAIN YOUR ARGUMENT! C'mon, DOP and BAMBINO.....I'm waiting forever here....

cybercoma Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 A question isn't an argument. He wants to know how you answer that question given your view of how nature functions.

Yet page after page you continue to avoid the question. A question is an argument, if it is being used as an argument or to support an argument! The onus is still on them to explain their point! This is not a guessing game! I don't read their minds! I don't even know what they think my "view of how nature functions," is. What is my view on how nature functions? I've repeatedly asked Bambino to explain, yet page after page he refuses to explain his own argument! How hard is it to explain one's argument? Unless they themselves don't really know enough to explain it? If the ones presenting the argument cannot even explain it....how the heck can they expect anyone to? Since you seem to know what they're on about....perhaps you can explain? Edited August 27, 2011 by betsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercoma Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 No, betsy. An argument consists of at least one premise and a claim. A question is neither a premise nor a claim. Questions are a request for information. There's no argument being made here. So where are the trilobites today, according to your perspective?

Please explain it so ignorant little me will understand what your argument is all about. I'm waiting ever so patiently. Hoping that you'll help me understand.

betsy Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) Look folks, I'm already saying I'm ignorant, and that I need Bambino's and DOP's help to make me understand what it is they're trying to present as an argument. Bambino and DOP, please - I'm on my knees and imploring you - explain it to me.....enlighten me. How can I respond if I don't know what you're on about? Hey, who knows, maybe this will be the one that will finally convince me to go over to your side....how's that for incentive? Explain your argument. What about the trilobites?
