    EVOLUTION, what a lie.

    Science in general, is different than religion. Look at the basic principles: religion is based off of faith, complete subjectivity, whereas science is based off of theories, experiments, hypotheses, and is objective. The two are fundamentally different. Asking about something due to your...

    How reliable are the findings of science?

    Hmm, well now I know the fancier name for that.

    Is there a Rational Ground for Morality?

    I may be wrong or biased in this but, to me morality is defined within reality. However, there is no one true reality, reality is highly subjective and each person has their own reality. So, morality, which is defined within reality, is highly subjective also. By "rational ground", if you mean...

    How reliable are the findings of science?

    Well that sucks for you because there is only 1 absolute in science and that is this: there are no absolutes, nothing is 100% and nothing is 0% accurate, valid, reliable, known, understood, etc... . If you want an absolute, then go to faith, science will not be able to provide you with what you...

    EVOLUTION, what a lie.

    I think opening a thread to informing others about evolution would be good. But, before doing any of that, you have to describe the basics of science. Doesn't matter if it's biology, psychology, pharmacology, etc..., they all revolve around the basic principles. One thing that I do with my...

    Is evolution vs creationism that important.

    So if they disagree with mathematics & arithmetic, then they don't quote the passages in the bible? After all, counting is part of mathematics and arithmetic, so disagree with that, then how can you count the passages? Heck, how can they use the bible as reference then?

    Is evolution vs creationism that important.

    Ah, ok, now I understand your point. However, framing this debate around evolution, makes it a bit easier to compare evolution and creation. After all, creationism is about how life began and such, and evolution is how humans and other organisms evolved. Creationism may disagree with all of...

    There's Always A Choice...

    Agreed entirely on this: we make our choices but not the consequences of those choices. sarahjane127, some theories in psychology are used to help explain why people, particularly with depression, feel hopelessness. For example, Meichanbaum, Ellis, Beck, and Kelley, among others, generally...

    Paraplegic Walks After Spider Bite

    I've never heard in my neuropsychology, medical pharmacology and other biology courses, a health practicioner saying "his nerves may have been asleep". I didn't catch that the first time I watched the video, however, now that you pointed it out, it's incredibly silly. For one, if your nerves...

    Is evolution vs creationism that important.

    What exactly is this point that you keep referring to? Evolution integrates various fields of science, so says it's creationism vs science rather than creationism vs evolution is simply semantics that don't address the issue of this thread at all.

    A Question of Morality

    The Lake Wobegon effect (Lake Wobegon effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), self-serving bias and other biases would imply that your internal system is better than the external one. However, that answer is beating-around-the-bush. A more detailed answer needs a detailed answer from you...

    Why is it tought to change our minds, even when we know we are wrong?

    I can think of a few reasons. First, we construct schemas and changing our mind would involve changing our schema (whole thing or only parts of it), which would include our view on the world, our general thoughts, how we interact socially, etc... . Second, as we learn something new, more...

    Do you have a question about God?

    I have a few questions. 1) How can you believe your god exists when there are conflicting views in the bible? No man hath seen God at any time (John 1:18) Not that any man hath seen the Father (John 6:46) Whom no man hath seen nor can see (1 Timothy 6:16) Granted, you can give passages...

    Why arn't YOU a Theistic Evolutionist?

    I fail to understand this. So, it's associating god and theism with scientific theories, mainly of biological evolution in a completely non-scientific way? That is exactly what science shouldn't be; subjectivity, unable to test empirically, etc... . From the Wikipedia page that you provided...

    Paraplegic Walks After Spider Bite

    Didn't the video say he got into a car accident and was paraplegic for 20 years, then got the spider bite? This is evidence for something that is rather well-known, although still being studied: neuroplasticity. Nerve cells and neuroglia can form new axons and myelination if given enough time...

    How reliable are the findings of science?

    Why? Science is objective, about finding proof, theories, being testable, explaining phenomena. And what exactly would science be trying to prove that didn't happen and would need religion to do so? Religion is about faith, believing with no proof, so I don't understand why it'd need something...

    Civilisation collapse!

    How exactly does thermodynamics fit into social psychology or sociology? No, that's not what that law states. It states, in simple terms, energy cannot be created nor destroyed (that part negates your concept of having a beginning and an end), however, energy can be changed into different...

    How reliable are the findings of science?

    Bolded part: No, they say that quite often. Take a look in various research papers. They'll have done an experiment or review, and at the end, it tends to be (varying on the specific area of science), that they think something but don't have a lot of evidence. Such as in genetics or...

    There's Always A Choice...

    True, you cannot always choose the effects of the choices. However, that was not the issue. The issue was can you have choices. Personality can be changed, such as in personality disorders, however, it's extremely difficult, takes a long time and rarely, if almost never, is 100% changed. I...

    What is Intelligence?

    "Common sense" is very ambiguous and highly subjective. What may be common sense for one person can differ for another, especially cross-culturally.
