    Atheists are not nearly as rationional as some think.

    Well here are the facts. This is what you wrote. ''Not a single thing in Genesis is history.'' Not one thing so that has been falsified since Genesis records the existence of Egypt so your statement is false. I may get back later. ]

    Not a historical standard which can be applied consistently. The topic is denial of history. Fact being, they were wrong about Jesus myth. So why are they right about Moses myth? You are entitled to opinion, but you need far more than opinion to falsify the early witnesses attesting to the...

    2nd law even applies to relationships. Are you married? Just ignore her and soon the relationship will fall apart. It takes work to keep it going. Water freezes under certain external conditions involving temp. Yours is saying things go from simple to complex, incredible complexity, via...

    Atheists are not nearly as rationional as some think.

    So u are an expert on Genesis? Can u falsify all historical claims in Genesis? U made the claim so now back it up. Not a single thing, you say? How about the existence of Egypt recorded in Genesis? This is off the top of my head. There are locations, tribes of people. Customs, wars, disputes...

    Atheists are not nearly as rationional as some think.

    Yeah but is it true? You can't make an argument nor can you build a convincing case. Nor do you demonstrate comprehension to any rudiment degree. Well i stated 2nd law and you did not get it the first time. Below. You either did not read it or you did not understand it or you did not comprehend...

    It sounds to me like you are engineering the question in such a way to as to ignore all the damage, the body count which happened under atheistic regimes in the 20th century. At the start of the Ruskie revolution the Bolsheviks went in and murdered the Romanovs including helpless children.They...

    A lot superficial adhere to avoid backlash. Medical persons might make a better yardstick since they do not have to adhere to group think and backlash regarding origins. Yawn. Stop making manipulative appeals to outrage and try some rationality. These braindead accusations only appeal to low...

    Atheists are not nearly as rationional as some think.

    No it is not since they gather together on a regular basis as community. They form relationships. Young and old, all kinds. Sure. There is a whole bunch for the 20th century alone. I'm not sure what you are getting at because it sounds to me like you have some real problems here. Not really...

    Atheists are not nearly as rationional as some think.

    Doubtful it is 97% and bandwagon appeals are unscientific. We don't care who they think, only what they can prove and it sounds like an extraordinary claim and that means extraordinary evidence. All they are doing is fitting the evidence into a paradigm from the 1800s. Darwin. He is not all that...

    Science standards under threat in Arizona

    Well, I don't see much of a difference in mentality. The Bible does have health science implications. Makes spec claims regarding origin of universe and life here. Claims which were accepted until the 1800s by almost everybody. To refuse to consider because it is deemed unscientific...

    Atheists are not nearly as rationional as some think.

    They do. Well the burden is on you so go ahead. Tell us why the practice of religion is damaging and be fair. Don't go referencing fanatics flying into buildings. Families attend church and form relationships with other families with kids. it is a community activity which brings people from all...

    Science standards under threat in Arizona

    The science of race inequality was taught in science classrooms. Any dissent based on equality was dismissed as religious superstition and scientifically false. Then get rid of the failed theory of evolution because it is really philosophy or metaphysics. Defended with all the zeal of Romanism...

    Atheists are not nearly as rationional as some think.

    They do have good reasons. Othewise they would not do it. There is a big defference between IDers and Creationists who depend on the Bible. IDers don't. Ken Ham and Stephen Meyer approach it from different perspectives. If you are going to conflate the two then it does not even warrent a click...

    Atheists are not nearly as rationional as some think.

    That is a faith argument. It is double standards. The reality being you do not believe in God because of will, not evidence or rationality. Well that is a self serving conclusion. Intelligent causation as opposed to exclusive non intelligent causes? If as Dawkins says, ''Biology is the study...

    Atheists are not nearly as rationional as some think.

    Beyond possible doubt is an impossible standard to meet since anything is at least possible. So i don't know what you do not understand. To a degree. Well it is not all that hard to figure out. He went to church with his girlfriend because it made her happy. It was probably no big deal to him...

    Atheists are not nearly as rationional as some think.

    How bout the certainty that ape/human common ancestor existed with the certainty that fairies exist? Or is it do as you say and not as you do? It is called falsification and it does not necessarily have to be conclusive. Nobody builds religion on not being able to disprove God. If they find...

    Atheists are not nearly as rationional as some think.

    You don't need 100% certainty. Preponderance of the evidence is 50.5%. Beyond a reasonable doubt is much higher. If it is 100% then it is much closer to all possible doubt which is impossible. Everything is evidence of something else. A suit (objectively verifiable) is evidence of a tailor and...

    They can make predictions with relativity. The same cannot be said for evolution since the process is blind unconscious automatic, no purpose. Nor do they know what is evolving. There is no baseline. These are just a few problems. If nature is the catalyst for change then why does nature select...

    Doubtful you know what it is or how it differs from say Creationism. In theory, these could be taught in a comparative religion course as opposed to an exclusive science which has its own origin myths. Actually religion cannot be reasonably avoided in class at times since students bring it up...

    Well i just collect my paycheck and go home and turn on the tube. My best friend is a Chinese immigrant who worked 6 days weeks for 100 dollars a month with a college degree in China. She got out even if it meant relocating from her country, family, and friends and going it alone here in the...
