If this gentleman’s perspective is at all indicative of the sort of logic we’re going to see in the debate, it’s going to be more than a little amusing for at least half the audience:
George Doehner
You should back out. You’re dumb and it is clear you don’t understand the material. That and your excessive reliance on logical fallacies reveals things about you that you should try to hide.
First, if I was actually dumb and did not understand the material, they would welcome this debate with great enthusiasm. The reason some of them would like me to back out is because they are correctly worried that I will present JFG with an effective argument that neither he nor they have ever seen before.
Second, their rhetoric about my “logical fallacies” is just inept midwit rhetoric. Someone who actually knows what logical fallacies are usually identifies the specific logical fallacy committed, which they cannot do because I have not committed any of them. And, of course, as most who prefer video are wont to do, they assume that I am presenting my strongest arguments in my videos. Which is understandable, I suppose, but incorrect.
UPDATE: JF and I have worked out a schedule.
- Monday February 4th, 7 PM ET: Discussion of The Revolutionary Phenotype on the Darkstream.
- Wednesday February 6th, 7 PM ET: Debate: The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection is a valid scientific theory that is necessary to our understanding of biology on The Public Space
