I'm debating a fundie at another forum and he's pretty funny. He said something like: "The universe exists because of the heat energy from the stars" (as an answer to why the physical universe can't exist forever, which he also claimed), and I asked him to explain that. He couldn't, and he didn't even try. Instead he changed his mind and said that he had never said that. He claimed that he had said that all life would die with the last star but everything else would stay the same.
And he has started to complain about my age as well; that I'm too young to understand what he's talking about or something like that .

Thats why the "quote" function is sooooo useful.

Unfortunatly, it's a very primitive board that doesn't have a quote function, so I had to quote him manually. His response to that was that something could still exist even if it had disappeared (the stars would now "disappear" instead but still exist ), but why the hell did he say that? His point was that the universe couldn't exist forever, he makes a crappy argument about the stars being the whole universe and then takes that argument and says that it isn't proof that the universe can't exist forever. WTF?! Why the hell did he say it then? I'd really like to see how he will turn this situation he has put himself in to his own advantage (of course he won't; he'll just run away and put his fingers in his ears...). Oh yeah, he claimed that the scientists agreed with him. He said he had read it in "scientist reports".

Man's unfailing capacity to believe what he prefers to be true rather
than what the evidence shows to be likely and possible has always
astounded me. We long for a caring Universe which will save us from
our childish mistakes, and in the face of mountains of evidence to the
contrary we will pin all our hopes on the slimmest of doubts. God has
not been proven not to exist, therefore he must exist.

I love that quote! I've been looking for it, actually, and I didn't feel like installing SMAC just to do it. Into the sig it goes...
EDIT: Yuck, it's too big...

Interesting, thank you. You'd think they'd bother to note that the good Academician is fictional.

Nice vague appeal to authority. Favorite tool of fundie idiots everywhere.
