Perhaps it's repeated so frequently to you, John, is because it is a perfectly reasonable thing to say given the circumstances during which it is used.
I mean, I appreciate that people think my ideas are Nobel Prize worthy. I'm pretty sure they are original ideas too. I didn't read them from anywhere. I simply study, and think about what I've studied. That's why people become frustrated with me. Because they can't look up the pre-made answers in a Dawkins book.
People want easy stuff. Such as: If we evolved from apes why are there still monkeys? Why aren't there crocoducks walking around?
" I don't know how many times I've heard atheists repeat the same arguments, almost as if reading off a script."
As opposed to theists whose dogma and doctrine are predetermined for them millennia ago you mean.
"I've been told to publish my ideas if I think I'm so smart, about a dozen times on this thread."
If you had a passing understanding of the scientific method you'd realise why you keep hearing this when you post this woeful moronic creationist propaganda.
"I literally feel like I'm in WestWorld sometimes, and everyone here is a host regurgitating the same scripted lines, while fully convinced they are clever and original thoughts."
As opposed to you offering armchair criticisms of scientific facts that are quite frankly embarrassing to read. All the while congratulating yourself that you've shaken the scientific world to it's foundations, you are funny.
"I find the Nobel Prize argument particularly interesting. It goes to show atheism is just one giant appeal to authority."
Appeals to authority are perfectly valid here, again if you had the remotest clue about science and it's methods you'd know why appealing to scientific authority was perfectly valid here. It's fallacious appeals to authority that are to be avoided like a religious apologists citing religious experts in the same way one might cite an expert in unicorn husbandry. Being an 'expert' on the bible no more evidences it's claims than being an expert on Harry Potter evidences magic. Scientific experts though must offer testable hypotheses, gather empirical evidence, and their claims must be falsifiable, and only then can they submit their work for peer review to the entire scientific world. In over 150+ years of the most intense scientific scrutiny all the facts support species evolution.
Repeating facts to someone who can't grasp why they're facts maybe thankless at times, but the repetition doesn't make those facts any less valid.
Its so painful reading your comments. Don't ramble for the sake of rambling. Keep it concise if you can't keep it relevant.
"Its so painful reading your comments"
I'm inclined to think it is for you, try using your finger and run it along the words, no shame in it if you're struggling.
I actually used my fingers to count the number of posts you've made that are irrelevant to the OP. I counted nine. Can you add the tenth? It would really help me out with my math.
