Introducing Herman Mays

[swamidass (S. Joshua Swamidass)]

You are missing his strategy. It is effective. It is so effective even @Robert_Byers picked up on it.

@Robert_Byers

I watched half/most of it.
i have read the creatyioniost guys articles in magazines.
i thought he did a great job and the evolutionist stuttered too much over what he was trying to say. then both got into trivial details too much.

@Robert_Byers

In these debates they need to make a FEW killer great points and a FEW great counter points to the others killer points.
Otherwise its hardly a debate but just stating your points.
For a public its not very good but Jeanson would win any vote of a neutral audience.

For low attention span and low information viewers, the smart strategy for AIG is to make the conversation such a morass that no one wants to engage the details or understand what is going on. You make it an unclear tangle, then people are convinced that the “evidence is not clear” or that “it is debatable”. Claim victory to your own base, and Jeanson is perceived as delivering a win.

@Herman_Mays, what ever you in your response, make it brief with very clear evidence. Rather than making the case, point to places that do. Also separate the case from atheism. This is just about getting the science right.

@Patrick

But we are all curious as to where you stand on the Dawkins meter with 1 being complete theist and 7 being complete atheist.

I thought he was an atheist. Did I miss something? Do I need to change his tag?

@Patrick

Great to have you here also. Since science is neutral on whether there is a God or not and you are an excellent scientist, so it is not important what your faith is or isn’t.

And you are certainly right about this.
