"You keep repeating your desire for evidence for my contention. I keep repeating, I'm not going to give you any."

I have given up thinking you will provide any evidence for it, because that would take integrity. I am simply pointing out that there is no more reason to take your contention of a secret conspiracy to suppress alleged evidence against evolution seriously than it is to take seriously Scientology's claims that beings called Thetans have infested the bodies of people and need to be expelled through special scientological rituals.

"You are not required to accept it, just as I am not required to provide you any evidence."

And nobody is required logically to think you are anything but a nutcase like Tom Cruise. :) Without being supported by evidence one contention is no better than another. You act as if the fact that a contention doesn't have to be supported by evidence to be called a contention means that a contention doesn't need to be supported by evidence to be taken seriously.

Unfalsifiable claims cannot, by definition, have evidence that goes against them. Yet you claim that evolution is both unfalsifiable AND has evidence that goes against it (which is vigorously suppressed by a secret conspiracy of evolutionists). There is a deep logical contradiction in your position, and you are not man enough to admit it.

Oh you fine example of integrity(NOT). You are really a comedian. You get no evidence because it is my contention. I feel that way. It is a "glorified" opinion and I have no need nor desire to justify my opinion/contention to one such as you. Dr. Sternberg was treated shabbily and the fact that you cited a hack blogger to deny the mistreatment of the Dr. is evidence of your "integrity". So bluster all you want, use whatever adjective you wish, you are getting nothing.

And I repeat, I contend that Darwinism is also non-falsifiable.
