Are you after the specific arguments or names of publications?

I'm sure either sonship of yourself will provide an informative youtube link. (Can I request one that doesn't make reference to demons).

@sonship saidAs an aside, if David Berlinski ~ a mathematician you apparently rate ~ were to change his mind about this, would you stop agreeing with him?

@fmf saidYou are actually asking if two people agree and one changes their mind, would they still agree? Seriously!?

@kellyjay saidI was simply pointing out the fact that unmittigated 'confirmation bias' is in play but did so in a way that was apparently too incapacitatingly droll for you.

@fmf saidYea your right, if two people agree and one changes their mind, would they still agree went right over my head.

@kellyjay saidDo you know what 'confirmation bias' is? Knowing what the term means does not make anyone "deep". No one has claimed that. Three times now, a really straight forward aside in a conversation has gone whoosh over your head. You just did not comprehend the not-deep pitch of the original aside and here you are still attempting a postmortem on my words when you should probably just be smoothing down your feathers instead.
Yep, when two agree and one changes their mind that just so went over my head as
if there was something really deep there.

@KellyJay
I’m aware of Meyer and the Discovery Insitute, I’ve read snippets of his stuff. He’s just promoting ‘God of the gaps’.

@fmf saidYes, I'm aware of the term. Which is when looking around at evidence you see what you want to see that promotes your views. You were addressing agreements and disagreements while two different people were looking at the same truth. If we agreed on a point and you suddenly disagreed would we still be in agreement is nonsensical, if you look at an argument and only saw what proved your point, that would be confirmation bias.

@kellyjay saidAll the evidence points to you being too prideful to admit that you simply got the wrong end of the stick when you read my ironic aside.
