If that's you target, STM, I've nothing to worry about in terms of this deba(te/cle), but everything to worry about your education and scientific literacy.
Particularly since you started out at the beginning to say "ignoring proof". I used to respect you but now be feel confident summing up the whole of your being into those two words.
This isn't like me, but it's been building along time, and you are unfortunate enough to be there for the blast. For years now I've argued and debated with people whose understanding of science could be represented by a great big question mark drawn in yellow crayon, yet their confidence in their understanding of it dwarfs that of Stephen Hawking. So for years I've watched as people propose to fight on my soil, and instead roll around naked in the mud expecting me to be cowed into submission by the spectacle, and in response all I can do is what their science teachers were supposed to do, and in presenting the evidence for my case do all their homework for them. They clearly weren't interested the first time around. Why then should I be interested in the impotent tirades they excrete all over my screen?
No. Why should I tolerate that? Why, when you have expressed your argument in such a tiresome and childish form as yours? Why, when you already agree that your stance is ridiculous as evidenced by your using of your sacred text as a model for ridicule? Why, when you seem to genuinely think that decades of work by thousands of scientists to unlock the greatest of mysteries can be summarised so flippantly and erroneously? What sort of bullshit is that?
I'm all for ridicule of bad ideas, but in selecting this target, which vastly exceeds the sum total intellectual achievements of the church, you have convicted yourself of such imbecility, you have no idea. It's no wonder you required the disclaimer "ignoring proof". It's the only way to equalise the arguments!
