And you will likely continue to be wrong until some authority you recognize sets you on the right path.

Something such as standard reference works like the Encylopedia Britannica? Or the dictionaries we are told you argue with and win? Or, just perhaps, you mean your authority of a purported deliberate supernatural, such as for which you are never able to offer any positive evidence?

That's how it works with grunts. Again I am sorry [false apologies not accepted] to use such a disparaging term, [QED] but someone needs to clue you in and this is a virtually anonymous place to do that. You have given no "point-by-point" response. [Which is exactly what I did in the last lengthy reply here] You appear to be suffering from the delusion that humans cannot learn anything from nature ever, [when what I said was something different] which of course only a grunt would believe. You appear to have no appreciation for the need to live in harmony with nature, [an issue which has never come up] again because you are a grunt. I said the same thing to graham (same person?),[No] your understanding of the meaning of words, rules of debate and logic is so tenuous that it can be difficult to guess what you are about. [Arlon's startling lack of comprehension in some areas, notably science, is well known on this board] I don't believe either of you know yourselves what you are about most of the time. You have never as far as I know called anything a logical fallacy correctly, and are not likely to ever do that, again because you are a grunt. However since you cannot make any convincing arguments yourself you have no choice but to claim victory because you believe some authority dictates you are victorious, because that is how it is with grunts.

And, once again, you are addressing me disparagingly rather than the points I have raised lately. Which is still a shame. But I am still not surprised. By this time rudeness, of a repetitive nature too, is all you have left lol

The Britannica might be correct insofar as it goes. The likely culprit is your interpretation of what Britannica says. I have given details, you have not. It is however possible that even "authorities" of past repute have fallen sway to the grunts responsible for the lie that any agency found in nature could have initiated life on Earth.
