Humans Are Not Smarter Than Other Forms Of Life, Just Different

Your two cents didn't provide any evidence. You can circle-jerk with lexiconical all you want but I can't see any argument from you or him? You guys are just being emotional forming ad-hominems.

If someone tells you they believe the sky is red and then offers you stock tips, how likely are you to act, with your own money, on what they've said?

Nikola Tesla was a hypochondriac with silly beliefs but expert in his field. Newton was religious and have very weird and crazy habits. Both offered solutions that brought humanity to a new era. In fact bring me any innovator and we will find something odd about them.

You need to try harder mate. If you judge people in life like you do in this debate..you are fucked royally

I wasn't intending to offer evidence. I believe I said I was offering my opinion. Which, I also believe, is simply what you were doing with your post.

Are you judging me by my beliefs now?

Tesla and Newton had the proven track records behind them that I described. In the example I used, the red-sky believer would be very rich and have a successful stock portfolio managed over many years; one can take financial advice from him. Your satanist does not appear to have that.

I would add that you seem quite emotional in your response...but I wouldn't want to upset you. ;-D

No they didn't. the track record came AFTER they made discoveries..hence why Telsa was often in thrown in the shadows..even until recently.

what appears and what is, are two different things. He makes good philosophical arguments that none of you bothered to answer. you just attack his religious beliefs.

I am not emotional at all. You guys seem to be though since you offer no rational arguments against that guy other than ad hominems. ;-)
