Once again Jabriol, unable to cope with the challenge, has thrown out another straw man in the absurd hope that we will not notice his helplessness in the face of scientific progress. 1. First of all, let us make a note that you *still* have not dealt with your lie about the creaitonist letter that you pretended was a peer-reviewed article. When are *you* going to deal with that? 2. You are trying your pathetic and impotent straw man trick again. Your one and only complaint about the t.o. FAQ. which you mindlessly repeat here, is that it is not peer-reviewed, **NOT THAT IT IS OUT OF DATE**. I have proven you wrong, and oyu now admit this because you ahve changed the basis of your complaint. There are three serious issues here which you are failing in: A. The t.o. FAQs *are* peer reviewed on *an informal basis* by other scientists who post to t.o.. This has been repeatedly made clear to you. B. The t.o. FAQs *are* supported by many references to peer-reviewed articles, which you now appear to be admitting, at last. C. You have yet to quote a single pwer-reviewed article to support any claim you ahve made, and therefore are a complete and utter hypocrite to be compalining about anyone else's peer-review or lack of it. can your tiny brain gz=rasp this at all? Now let's deal with your depsperately moving the goalposts to avoid yet another example of your blind incompetence. Now I ahve slammed your face up agianst the *fact* that t.o. is informally peer-reviewed *and8 is supported by reference to peer-reviewed papers, you are now complaining that these peer-reviewed papers are out of date, something of which you have never made an issue before. So let's resolve the first issue first. Are the t.o. FAQs that I have repeatedly reminded you of *supported by references to peer-reviewed articles* or not, regardless of whether these articles are up to date or not? Answer **that** question first. Now let's deal with dates. I have reprimanded you repeatedly for out of date articles you have amateurishly and inadequately referenced, now you are complaining that the peer-reviewed references used in t.o. FAQs are out of date. First of all, these are two different types of references we are dealing with here. The ones *you* have consistently given are not peer-reviewed **and** are *out of date*, sometimes woefully so. This is two issues, not one. Now let's look at those t.o. dates, shall we? I glanced throught he transitonals FAQ, and I don't see anything in there that is half a century old, and none of these references are argument from incredulity. Most of it is from the eighties and nineties, and was recent when the FAQ was written so unless you can quote *peer-reviewed material* that refutes this peer-reviewed material *and* that is *newer*, you lose. The way you can resolve this is to **either quote peer-reviewed references** in which case I will not say anything about the date unless I can find a more recent peer-reviewed article that refutes the one you have quoted. OR, you can keep quoting your non-peer-reviewed "references" but you have to actually *give* a reference so that we can check it out, *and* you have to quote soemthing that does not consist solely of argument from incredulity. Because the things you have referenced so far *regardless of the date* are not sufficient to support your case. *Peer-reviewed papers are* sufficient, regardless of the date, until and unless you can quote *a more recent* peer-reviewed article that refutes the earlier one. Have you grasped any of this? Now here is a news article that is only two days old that offers yet more evidence of evolution. Do *you* have a reference that is within two days old that refutes evolution?? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3142488.stm If you don't then you need to shut your hypocritical mouth about both peer-review (of which you have offered none) and about outdated material. Let it drop until you can quote *recent* material, that *is or is not peer reviewed* that actually refutes evolution or establishes a better alternative, and that is *not* simply argument from incredulity. Get it now? > no I just ignore it because the FAQ are not peered reviewed. But the *references* are, and you are a hypocrite since **NOT A THING YOU HAVE POSTED HAS EVER BEEN SUPPORTED BY PEER-REVIEWED REFERENCES, AS THE T.O. FAQS I HAVE QUOTE TO YOU ARE**. You lose. deal with it, Loser. Well this goes to show what a blind idiot you are. You had the hypocrisy to accuse me of not updating my knowledge, but you have consistently demosntrated a spastic inability to update yours, because you are completely blind to reality. You lose. Deal with it Loser. Budikka
