Simply relying on someone with a PhD and Fellows of Medicine is not enough to say that they are right. Even a Dr. is wrong on many occasions. You are failing to support your own support.

If you want an complete list of references, buy the book
Deliberate avoidance of justifying your own support. This is another way of saying, "I do not know what I am supporting, so go please read it for me."

Oh rly? Well speaking of made up arguments, weren't you actually the one who brought up previous discussions.
Pointing the finger in return of an accusation does not defend yourself. This is an illogical fallacy that you are imposing by defending yourself via attacking the accuser. Ad hominems are soon to follow along with other invalid arguments.

Speaking of straw men, please show me where I've lied? You're right, it is a very low and disingenuous tactic. You should be ashamed!

Heres what you did - in fact - say previously :
Notice the attempt to save face by attacking the accuser again. This is failing to justify your own statements again. Please learn to support your statements and justifications without relying on attacking others.

The third possibility is that you're indulging a no small degree of selective dickish pedantry (colour me surprised). Kinda difficult to lie when the thread in question is a matter of record.
I am curious to investigate this.

Dr Martin appears to have been able to publish an index of references at the back of the book without breaking the laws of space time and causing a chain reaction which destroys the universe.

Go figure
Also, I can reference a chain of books, by PhD writers, who will quote completely unreliable sources. This point proves nothing but the laziness to declare your own arguments.

To investigate this thread further, I will look into Thor's posts next.

Please understand that forum thread debates are easy to digress as they take place over days and that you guys may very likely be running in circles. Try to re-state your original arguments in a more declarative style to help reconcile.
