On Monday 11/12/2012, I was on some nationally-syndicated (and heavily commercialized) Christian radio show debating young earth creationist, Bob Dutko over 'the [non-]Existence of God'. In that discussion, he did as Bob Enyart also did; make a series of claims purportedly proven by science, according to his citations of scientific sources -which cannot be reviewed and refuted on-the-fly. He would not permit me to discuss things which could be explored in real time, nor anything that would actually have been relevant to the topic.
Anyone who read my debate with Bob Enyart will remember how he [Enyart] made a host of claims that he was wholly determined to endorse, but which turned out not to say what he said they would, and did not support his conclusions at all. When I saw that Dutko's show was based on just as much assertion-of-conviction in fallacious assumptions as Enyart's show was, I knew we would have great fun refuting Dutko's claims too. I can't remember all those assertions at the moment, so we'll just have to wait for him to post his recording of that show. But I did remember to direct his listeners to investigate his claims through my blog, and that I would provide links from there to an appropriate venue to explore the actual merits of each. Of course the League of Reason is the venue I had in mind since it is (I think) most conducive to that exercise.
So if anyone knows anything about the citations he gave, concerning sauropods rendered on pre-columbian artifacts, unfossilized hadrosaur bones, or any of the other ways in which he imagines evolution was 'disproved'; or if you just want to comment on how I behaved, or whether he even could have 'painted me into a corner' such that I would want to 'wiggle out of', please post those points in this thread provided for that purpose.
