Re: Why Is Religion Unquestionable?
I'm not sure that religion is "unquestionable", especially in liberal societies with access to media like the internet. However religion does get placed on a pedastal of sorts. I can only speak for the UK but churches (and other religious organisations recognised by the UK government) get ...

Re: Is the literal six day creation wrong?
Stop your condescension. You rely on faith. Faith in the opinions you have read. You have NOT examined the evidence yourself. You have put your FAITH in the interpretations of the evidence. I've examined plenty of the evidence myself. I don't rely on faith, I have a reasoned and rational view that,...

Re: Is the literal six day creation wrong?
And you have observed this first hand? Last I checked we can barely determine how many planets our own solar system has. I was taught, scientifically, we had nine. Oh wait. Now you are telling me you witnessed the formation of the earth. Point me to any evidence that has first hand testable and obs...

Re: Is the literal six day creation wrong?
But no matter how old it is today, science overwhemlingly agrees that the evidence does point to an alpha event. A beginning. Guess what? The earth was one day old at some. It was 6,000 years old at some time. Point me to any science that says the earth was once one day old. Planetary accretion is ...

In terms of the scince a literal 6 day creation is dead wrong.

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus
Is the reason that you have not acknowledged the evidence that two independent ERV infections cannot wind up in the same DNA location, that you're smart enough to know that to do so would be a spectacular confirmation for common descent, which beautifully explains how those ERVs are at exactly the ...

Re: Babies surviving abortions
I'm not sure what the additional doctor bit was about (I'm not up to speed with US abortion policies...) but the fact that they were carrying out abortions at 32 weeks is insane . Is an abortion that late something that can be done on request, or does it come down to e.g. the mother's medical condit...

Re: Can meat produce art?
In a very literal way, meat can produce art ..the two laboratories decided to collaborate in an attempt to bridge the gap between biological and artificial systems to produce a machine capable of matching the intelligence of even the simplest organism -- one that will over time evolve, learn, and ex...

Re: Atheists and Youtube, what is the deal?
Most people today don't want to believe in God... ReligionFacts.com's Big Religion Chart shows that atheists and the non-religious comprise 1.1 billion people worldwide . In other words, more than 4 out of 5 people have a faith. ...and as a result they try their very best (and most of the time, wor...

Re: The movie Religulous by Bill Maher
Maher's an ass on a par with Stein.
It seems recently he's turned his fine mind to anti-vaccination propaganda.

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus
If humans are higher than chimps...who claims that they are? Hey, if you can't figure that out, then I don't think I need to be talking with you. That's like the guy on another thread who was trying to say that "2+2=4" wasn't a fact. I'm trying to get at what you mean by "higher"...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus
False. An ERV RANDOMLY inserts its DNA at any of MILLIONS of possible places along the host DNA. But a specific shared ERV is always on the SAME chromosome and at the SAME location in humans and chimps. The chance of that happening independently in humans and chimps is essentially zero. The only re...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus
TC, if humans are higher in the evolutionary tree than chimps, then it stands to reason that certain races within the human species may exhibit superior advancement along the branch. It just seems so many want to sweep this history under the rug. If humans are higher than chimps...who claims that t...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus
I was hoping you could define most evolved, since you seem so certain of our ancestory. "Most evolved" really has no meaning. You could, for example, have a go at calculating which race exhibits the most genetic differences from the oldest members of our genus, but to call them "most...

Re: Ardi - Ardipithecus ramidus
Personally I wouldn't want to put any creature in a zoo... Agreed, I despise zoos. Although they do a phenomenal job in the areas of preservation and education (especially the Wildlife Conservation Society of which I am a member) but just the whole idea of confining animals to an area, however larg...
