Clive is proud to assert that ID and alien abduction are on the same footing:
| Quote | | you’re implying that people shouldn’t believe in alien abduction, which is just a form of begging the question, because you’re acting as if it’s already been answered in the negative, and that they are wrong in supposing otherwise, when it hasn’t been answered in the negative...his is begging the question yet again, because you’re presupposing that ID is wrong, and then proceeding as if it is not an open question. This is really just another way of shutting off inquiry into interesting things like ID for an adherence to some philosophical presupposition that has nothing to do with the actual evidence. If you’ve already answered the question about ID or alien abduction or whatever open question there may be, then of course you’re going to find them wrong, because you started your weighing of everything with the answer already in mind. |
Clive, word: gullible nitwit <> open mind.
