Biologist Awakens From Reductionism, Finds Life

If it wasn't recorded, how do you know?

Do you know who your grandfather is?

Do you have some idea about who your great, great grandparents were, and where they came from?

Would you have an even better idea of the origins of your family if it was the origin story of the whole of humanity, and you were just a few hundred years removed?

A few hundred years removed from what? What are you talking about?

If you were just a few hundred years removed from the creation of man. ^^

Sorry, but you playing 'Grampa Jones' of the site gets no traction with me, who was here five years before you.

If that were the case then it wouldn't be prehistoric, would it, since history has been recorded for considerably more than 'a few hundred years'. Or perhaps you think that humankind was created after, for example, the bible was written? That wouldn't really make sense, would it.

And that of course is without archaeology, carbon dating, cave paintings, DNA analysis and anything remotely scientific. Stone tools have been discovered beneath layers of sediment which are many thousands of years old, so who do you think made those? Do try to get some sort of grip on reality.

Had you remained in the club, you would already know the answer.

Mainly because it peeves you off, child.

Since these are, in the main, merely your own quaint opinions, I won't bother. I've already spoken at length about all these things, but like speaking to Very Rusty, it's like talking to a brick wall because you never listen. You have repeatedly shown me who you really are in these forums, and unlike you, I believe you.

"Your self published fantasies about being visited by angels, about “breaking countless” bar tables by throwing sexual molesters (using your martial arts) through them, about saving “countless lives” using cpr on sidewalks are all written in these forums by you."

These are not "fantasies". They are all true. The fantasy is that you call them "fantasies". Your quaint opinion is that you think they are "fantasies".

Calling what someone says a "fantasy", is just like saying they are a liar, regardless of how you want to sugarcoat it. I am not a liar.

You could have stopped at "I don't believe you." That's fine. People are different. Some vote for Trump. But for you to take that extra step and claim that I am lying is only for your own ulterior motives, as is the way you present your argument.

You might want to remove the quotes around "countless". I never said "countless". When I was talking about saving the lives of homeless people, I said "I lost count how many". This is a way of saying "I can't remember how many". I never said "countless". But you like to present it your way because it amplifies your claim that it is a "fantasy".

But don't worry, I see you. Like I said, every time you take pains like this to show me who you really are in these forums, unlike you, I believe you.
