It really didn't appear that you were trying at all.
While your posts were not the only thing, Lessans own statements in the book were sufficient to disprove his claims, your claims just added to the disproof.
How does the brain project words out through the eyes when there are no efferent nerves in the eye itself? |
Your statements have zero impact. You can keep saying that the explanation in the book is insufficient proof, but is it really? Maybe not in your mind because his description of what he believed was going on was not done using the scientific method, but this does not in and of itself negate the accuracy of what he observed. You can balk all you want; you can say this is faith based all you want; you can laugh all you want; you can use this thread as entertainment all you want; you can call me a liar all you want; but this does not change the fact that 3 is to 6 what 4 is to 8; or that he was wrong in his observations.
