Before you start hitting keys on your keyboard try to understand what the other side has to say. You response is a clear indication you don't even read carefully what you're responding to.

I responded to the individual statements you made almost line by line. You better read what YOU'RE responding to.

<b>Before using terminology you don't understand what it means try opening a book and read first what an "argument from authority" means.</b> Did I claim any authority or anyone else's?
<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>

You made assertive statements that you regard as self evident while shirking the duty of justifying your conclusions when asked about them. When one continues to skip past parts of a point by point reply and merely accuse the other of not understanding or not reading then that has tones of acting like an authority.

I just stated the obvious and true fact that no one including you and I has ever had an "infinite" experience, physically or through intrumentation. Unless you've touched it or seen it Jeremy....or God wishperd it in your ear...."Jeremy my child...the universe is infinite...."

I guess when one doesn't have an argument one has to resort to whimsy. You didn't say infinite EXPERIENCE, the discussion has revolved around infinite SPATIAL and infinite TEMPORAL. Notice the use of "obvious and true fact", authoritarianism again.

Yes Jeremy, I believe Donald Duck made the universe, it's 10 cubic meters in volume and 10 days old. Are you satisfied now? If you can, go ahead and prove I'm wrong.

Why bother? It's up to you to justify outlandish claims.

Jeremy,

Funny close but I think you also have your work cut out proving your close.

Well there are several galaxies visible to the naked eye that are far more than 20,000 ltyears away. I'd like to know how it just jumped ahead to fool all of us. The distance scale can be argued with but not to the extent that Mark wants to bend it.

Jeremy, Mark,

Sorry but I think I crossed up my response above. I was attributing the Donald Duck to Jermey and Infinity to Mark.
