Playing devil's advocate can lead to greater understanding and truth and refines one's beliefs and knowledge. Why are you discouraging this? I have no idea. Arguments are fundamentally good. Society should have more of them.
The reason why Viaje thinks your argument is retarded is well... look at your argument:
PREMISE: We exist.
THEREFORE: Evolution is statistically possible.
There is no premise that supports the conclusion. The argument is invalid. It's pointless to argue because there's no premise to argue against.
Didn't seem Vjaje or Alloy was playing Devil's Advocate. It seemed to me they thought each other were on different sides of the argument =/.
