HLPhat: "In fact, Socrates himself thought that questioning was the only defensible form of teaching.
In teaching, teachers can use Socratic questioning for at least two purposes: "

But, despite your unbridled ego & arrogance, you are no Socrates, not even a decent teacher.
Your only realy talent is insults, which is doubtless why you exercise it so often.

So what you here pretend is your "Socratic method " is, in fact, nothing of real value.

That's why you would do much better by simply stating your opinions reasonably, then responding to questions or challenges as they arise, FRiend.
Leave out the insults, they don't enhance your case.

One does not have to be "a Socrates" to use his questioning methodology.

I asked very a reasonable Socratic question:

HLPhat: "Why would a process culminating in abiogenesis not necessarily violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics?"

To which you inanely replied:

"I'll ask again: why do you hide behind a cloak of stupidity"

Was Socrates "hiding behind a cloak of stupidity", Professor Poodledorf?

>>not even a decent teacher.

Well let’s see what kind of a teacher you are, Bro!

Please explain to Bob why the process of Evolution through Natural Selection doesn’t necessarily violate the 2nd law of Thermodynamics.
