    The universe is one heck of a lot of real estate to devote to one species, even if you believe in intelligent design, don't you think? I mean something far less than even a galaxy would do for that purpose. Why bother with the rest if it would only be a sterile collection of rocks floating around millions and billions of light years away. That would simply be a nasty tease for a curious species. Wouldn't an intelligent designer ensure that an intelligent species continued to have something to learn beyond interactions with its own kind?

    An interesting assumption suggested as a fact only manifests as a fact in the mind of an intellectual inferior.

    This statement or the one you presented as a fact. In your defense you left yourself a bit of wiggle room by ending your assumption with a question mark, yes? If you meant expound on post 12, i did in post 13. Your post #14 was a simple game of what I call " pitch/toss". It works on the lessers. Often

    Actually the entire post #12 was presumptious. I only highlighted the ending because people tend to summarize in said " endings". Anyhoo...your turn to pitch

    Pro tip: in 12 you overplayed your hand by using the word "intelligent" twice. An intellectual lesser laps that up like a puppy dog. In your defense many are your intelligent lessers so its easy to develop bad habits when they work so often.
    That is the precise reason you do not play chess with a lesser opponent

    'Intelligent design' is a term used by those who are creationists. Hence my use of the term 'intelligent'. Human beings are the most intelligent species on the planet. Your turn.

    "Silence is Golden" they say. I agree. One learns a lot more from a person does not say so indeed, silence is golden. The other options being "cottons crazy". Interesting but again it works on checker players in a chess tourney.
    Id pass on that statement since the certification to make that determination is not there. Last option would be the best play , dr..who. Say " cotton is being a bit nasty today". On the lessers it presents as " therefore he lacks credibility". Per " credibility" remarks or suggestions i would say " oh really could you point out that part". ? Pro tip: I am a strong empathizer. You can use that against me. How? If you begin flailing or prententing to be I tend to soften. I used that against many opponents that were better than I. I won many tennis matches I should not have. Its quite elementary Watson, yes?

    Do you not think I havent noticed your disdain for creationists and Christianity long long ago? You are very passionate in your disdain. Your argument had nothing to do with anything but that. I chose to challenge you where I did because that is your best game. I have nothing to gain by playing " pitch/ catch " with a halfwit. It was a compliment I deemed you worthy. As for post 18? Jesus H Cotton. 18.is simple fodder for fools. Got something better?
