My favorite thing about this leak is that Coughlan666 made a response video about it. It is hilarious. :)
The beginning sounds like an ad for eHarmony, not a fricken doctoral dissertation.
Since atheism per se has no dogma, it is difficult to find a causal link between atheism and immoral behavior or the commission of atrocities. It is more reasonable to conclude that Stalin killed these people because they were opposed to his desire to implement communism.
Forgive me because I am still pretty new here, but is it common practice for you to dance around logical arguments? If so, I apologize for even starting this with you if this is all you can muster.
I suppose your arguing on the last page about the possibility of a flood was what... something...
No one is saying water hasn't been displaced over time - you are claiming those fossils got to the tops of mountain chains via a massive flood. If you admit to those mountains once being at the bottoms of ancient oceans, then rising over time via plate tectonics, you've just rid yourself of an...
I would venture to say that most atheists don't claim that god isn't real - we just don't believe in one.
The point of the scriptures being man-made has no relevance towards whether or not a god exists because we have no other claims but the ones that are man-made. Unless you know of any...
I always try to remember this on a public forum - you may never win in the other person you're debating's mind, but on an open forum there are always other people looking. You could give them information they never knew and could help "win" them over. :)
Check your local library first!!! (IF you have a decent one)
I have the new book by Dawkins on waitlist. I love buying books - but boy am I poor. :) Hooray for libraries!
Another good one on evolution is Jerry Coyne's Why Evolution is True
I love ice cores! I equivocate them to the crime scene investigators looking for what happened at a particular place. We are the investigators, the Earth is our crime scene, and the ice cores are the "smoking gun," if you will. It's just brilliant how much stuff they can find in those chilly tubes.
Here in Florida there is an option to get a license plate supporting one of many causes/organizations with one happening to be the "Choose Life" campaign. I suspect most of the owners of such plates are actually pro-life and not necessarily pro-choice - even though it's evident that it clearly...
I've no intention of adding to the population problem, either, but I am damn sure I couldn't be celibate my entire life.
How old are you, if I may ask?
Okay then, so if the water that caused the flood was mainly from the ground - why did it not go back into the ground into these springs or aquifers that it came from?
