: You equate my belief to a search for a 5-sided square and proceed to fill four posts with Euclidian foot extracting rationalizations.

You believe in the existence of something eternally unproveable, Stuart.

That's *exactly* the same as believing in a 5-sided square.

You can't give me any meaningful difference between the two beliefs.

The rest was just standard high school and university geometry and formal logic.

: How about you just bashed belief and are having a little trouble admitting it.

Nonsense; I admitted quite freely that;

"...there are beliefs that square with the physical observations and those which don't; and there are beliefs which can *never* be justified physically, such as yours."

See here.

Is that 'knocking belief', Stuart?

During this thread I have repeatedly made my position quite clear; that my belief in science is a belief, but that I regard beliefs founded on the physical evidence as more reliable when dealing with the physical world when compared to those beliefs which aren't.

For your part you have accused me of hypocrisy and lack of integrity.

You have also accused me of poor behaviour and misrepresented the entire point of the debate as a trivial one about geometry.

Now you are accusing me of dishonesty and hypocrisy again.

Your arguments are featherweight; and when I point them out as such, you resort to personal abuse, slander and distortion of my points.

I have not once cast aspersions on your behaviour or character except insofar as it relates to your conduct in this thread; I have previously tried to maintain as polite and civil a debate as possible.

(This last is a matter of public record; anyone who wishes to examine the debate and what each of us has said is welcome to do so.)

Is this proper Christian behaviour; to insult civil debaters, bear false witness and display intolerance to alternative beliefs?

You are a poor debater and a worse Christian; try reading Lark's posts more; although I disagree with him on some things, he is a real Christian; he actually walks it like he talks it.

What would you do if someone hit you across the face, Stuart?

Farinata.
