   There is nothing dishones about saying that a story about a crippled hand   
   being healed in 1858 doesn't cut it as evidence. There is nothing dishonest   
   about saying that a 67 pixels out of focus grainy blob in photo is not   
   evidence for anything, let alone alien spaceships. It's not dishonest to   
   laugh at people who believe that medieval tales of Dog Heads is evidence of   
   the existence of DH's.   
      
   The dishonesty becomes apparent when you, who claim that everythining I just   
   mentioned is indeed evidence, refuse to say whether you actually believe   
   your own words or not.

   Do you believe that water from a well in France can heal people?   
   Do you believe in miracles in general?   
   Do you believe a grainy blob or a shaky video from 1954 is evidence of alien   
   UFO's visting Earth?   
   Do you believe that once Dog Heads lived in southern India?   
   Do you believe that gods exist?   
      
   You drag a tail of unanswered questions behind you that'd make Halley's   
   Comet proud. But if you dare to answer those questions, and the ones to   
   come, I'll consider picking up the debate again.   
      
      
   > ... he doesn't have the decency to admit it when something that is said it

   What truths? That a seventeen fingered hillbilly's belief in Big Foot must   
   be considered valid evidence of Big Foots existence? You're the one running   
   away every time I challenge you to defend your 'evidence'. You're the one   
   who doesn't have the guts to pick one (1) specific example of what you call   
   'confirmed miracles' and defend it.   
      
   So, 'felix', give me some of your truths and stick around to see me take   
   them apart, or stop pretending that you're even trying.
