The Evolution of Sex

They already told him, "Don't call us, we'll call you. And stop writing us, too. On second thought, look, we're just not going to call you. And, if you keep it up, we will get a restraining order against you. Seriously. Cut it out."  (5 hrs ago | post #142)

Marksman11, if it began in 606/7 BC, then how do you make an accurate mathematical prediction? You've got two full years of wiggle room. How precise need a prophecy be to be true? (attempt 2)  (5 hrs ago | post #19042)

Does God Exist?

You need to define the word "intelligent. " You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.  (6 hrs ago | post #315)

Does God Exist?

Your God fills in the gaps of your knowledge. Is God a valid explanation for anything right now? 1000 years ago, according to your method of applying God as an explanation, would God have been a worthwhile explanation for lightning? 2000 years ago, according to your method of applying God as an explanation, would God have been a worthwhile explanation for earthquakes? Is God a valid explanation when you don't have the actual explanation? Does God cease to be a valid explanation upon discover of the actual explanation? Or, does God continue to be the only valid explanation regardless of evidence? Does it make more sense to see something broken on the ground and immediately say, "Jack did it," and then, after you figure things out, change your story? Or, does it make more sense to see something broken on the ground and immediately say, "I don't know how this broke, but I'm going to try to find out what happened," and then, after you figure things out, declare your findings? Of what use is the first scenario, other than to placate one's personal desire for an explanation when none yet exists with utter disregard for the truth?  (6 hrs ago | post #314)

Hey, join the club. I live in Massachusetts. We've got Barney Frank and we're at the epicenter of gay marriage. Just because we're homosexualopolis doesn't mean I'm gay, just like you being from the South doesn't mean you're an inbred hillbilly who picks his rear with a whittlin' stick and puts MadDog 20/20 into his baby's bottle. I'm not kicking your dog or pissing in your cheerios. C'mon, man up. I should think a silverback would have a thicker skin. Stereotypes exist for a reason, but if it doesn't apply to you, and isn't being directed at you, then who cares? I'm half Polish. I ain't getting up in arms over every polack joke someone tells. Who gives a shit?  (6 hrs ago | post #2411)

The phenomenon that is observed is the similarity between various other ape anatomies and physiologies and human anatomy and physiology. The hypothesis used to explain this phenomenon is descent from a common ancestor. The evidence used to test this hypothesis is DNA, comparative anatomy, studying the various systems of the various species of apes, and comparing fossils of various extinct hominid species to human and ape fossils and skeletons (among other things). Step one of the scientific method (observe an aspect or phenomenon of nature) has been satisfied.  (7 hrs ago | post #19010)

Where is the outside corroboration for the Bible's story about the Egyptian enslavement of the Israelites? And, if the Bible is the only source of corroboration that is valid, and science is so universally wrong about everything, would you stop believing Jesus was divinely conceived if science discovered someday that Jesus actually was divinely conceived? Or, would you dismiss the data, because science is wrong? Or, would you grab hold of it and wave it around as concrete proof of the Bible's truth?  (16 hrs ago | post #18964)

The skeptic need not prove the claim false; the claimant must prove the claim true. If you wouldn't accept the negative proof fallacy in criminal court if you were the defendant (prove that you DIDN'T commit the crime, or else you go to jail), why would it suddenly be a valid logic system for anything else? Again, you're a child molester. Prove me wrong, or else I'm finding your IP and calling the cops. And believe me, they don't like your kind in prison.  (16 hrs ago | post #18962)
