Quote from Brass:
I already provided you with historical evidence that tax cuts do not pay for themselves. I have shown you evidence for evolution. I have given you links hinting at abiogenesis, where organic compounds were synthesized from inorganic precursors in laboratory conditions.
And you still don't see any of it. Jem, you couldn't find your ass using a mirror at the end of a stick. How could you possibly make good on a bet when you don't even understand its outcome?
You are still lying.
1. lie.
You did not provide evidence... you provided a link to slate which stated that revenues went up just not as much as their model.
Now according to the terms of the deal I made... you should leave et. As you have produced not data or facts.
2. deception
I taught you that there is no proof that life evolved from non life.
I do not deny some evolution. Before I came to ET and read the links of some of the honest thinkers here... I fully believed in evolution.
Note... inorganic to organic is not - non life evolving to life. Which is what we were arguing over.
Organic means almost nothing. Its is a throwback word to alchemy.

Vitalism
The word "organic" is historical, dating back to the 1st century.[citation needed] For many centuries, Western alchemists believed in vitalism. This is the theory that certain compounds could be synthesized only from their classical elements â Earth, Water, Air, and Fire â by action of a "life-force" (vis vitalis) possessed only by organisms. Vitalism taught that these "organic" compounds were fundamentally different from the "inorganic" compounds that could be obtained from the elements by chemical manipulation.
Vitalism survived for a while even after the rise of modern atomic theory and the replacement of the Aristotelian elements by those we know today. It first came under question in 1824, when Friedrich Wöhler synthesized oxalic acid, a compound known to occur only in living organisms, from cyanogen.[citation needed] A more decisive experiment was Wöhler's 1828 synthesis of urea from the inorganic salts potassium cyanate and ammonium sulfate. Urea had long been considered to be an "organic" compound, as it was known to occur only in the urine of living organisms. Wöhler's experiments were followed by many others, where increasingly complex "organic" substances were produced from "inorganic" ones without the involvement of any living organism.[citation needed]
