By Don Batten, published 2/5/2016Materialists have no sufficient explanation (cause) for the diversity of life. There is a mind-boggling plethora of miracles here, not just one. Every basic type of life form is a miracle.

Granted it was included in with the allegation of me supposedly storming off in a huff. Nevertheless, it was by far the most far-fetched example of a “fallacious interpretation, which you know is false” (as you would put it) and, therefore, deserves a special mention. I’m talking about your ‘sonnet’ question.
Your exact words were:
“We could add another one. We are speaking of life. What about intelligent life involving the creation of a single thought or perhaps a sonnet? Any videos dealing with question?” (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=18201#325150)
Pretty ambiguous stuff there. It bears little-to-no resemblance to the misguided claim that DNA forming by itself is about as likely as a chimp sitting at a typewriter and eventually producing Hamlet (or a Shakespearean sonnet, as you would put it) by bashing randomly at the keys.
So I ask for clarification of what it is that you’re talking about and you gleefully gloat that, after some seventy odd posts (and that’s just from you) getting you absolutely nowhere, you had somehow finally caught on to a winner with this ‘sonnet’ claim, and that, as a consequence, I had apparently fled like some fraud who had realised that “the game was up”.
Unbelievable.
Now THAT, my friend, is a “fallacious interpretation, which you know is false”. As I mentioned before, transference.
