Does he say anything else that is NOT complete gibberish? Does this woo-woo speak actually impress people?

Everything living lives it's lifespan and dies , somehow you want to pretend that the observation you make within it's lifespan gives you evidence supporting millions of years.
You my friend since conception have entered into a dieing process .
You will not escape death and pretending that time has no beginning or end will not change that fact .
Your clock is ticking
When your earthly body is dead it will be too late for the life within you to acknowledge it's creator.

My common sense says you are wrong. Damn, what an impasse. Really liking this idea that common sense can justify my position without having to have evidential support, it makes these discussions much easier! Before I would have had to point out that you have no objective evidence for your version of god, that you deny objective evidence when it contradicts your dogmatic belief in god, and that you just said that "everything dies" in the same paragraph as saying people die then come back later if they believed the right line of bullcrap - and then hypocritically pretend like I am the one participating in wishful thinking.

But now instead of all that, I can just say you are wrong because "common sense"!

While you breath I believe there is hope , just remember that .
Mb someday you will need to hear or remember those words.

Its appalling to me that the fact that you are capable of believing or not believing something does not make you stop and think.
Where in the table of elements do you see the potential of such a miracle?

You are going to need to clarify what exactly it is you are talking about me believing or not believing, then you are going to need to clarify what miracle you think I need to be looking for in the periodic table. Without that context, I am afraid your question is nonsensical.

Is it perhaps the fact that the earth is billions of years old not thousands - a fact backed up by copious scientific evidence spanning multiple disciplines of science, the same science allowing us to even have this conversation at all? Is that the belief we are talking about?
