Prove it. And don't say you already have because you have not. If you do say you already have (or words to that effect) then that is an outright lie.

You have deflected the conversation into the origin of life and then the historicity of Jesus. I assume those subjects are of more interest to you. If you are still interested in logic I'll gladly postpone further discussion on origins and historicity and concentrate on logic. Your call.

A partial list:
- Outright lying.
- Use of logical fallacies. Logical fallacies are the subject of a later post.
- Failure to explicitly state all premises, A.K.A., tacit assumptions.
- Stating premises in an ambiguous manner.
- Equivocation, in effect, changing the definition of a word as the argument progresses.
- Failure to define terms.
- Unsupported generalities.
