    How do you define SCIENCE?

    It seems to me that science and religion don't necessarily have much to do with each other.

    Parents Rights On Transgender Policy

    The law in question indicates that a parent should be informed when a child wants to join a sports team. If there are communication problems at home the situation is not helped by communication problems between schools and parents. The parents are going to find out eventually if the school is...

    How do you define SCIENCE?

    Macroevolution refers to events above the species level, whereas microevolution refers to evolutionary changes within populations. How do you define religion? I think this may be necessary before we can move forward with a discussion of science, creation, and religion. "the sciences" refers...

    Parents Rights On Transgender Policy

    It was a preliminary injunction because the case itself hasn't been decided yet. What we are talking about here is the child telling a teacher about the desire for pronoun use, bathroom access, and sports team participation. Parents are going to find out. At what point should parents find out...

    The new Twitter (X): Elon Musk and Freedom of Speech

    I don't know if Voltaire would agree with J.K. Rowling about women, but I suspect you're right that Voltaire would defend J.K. Rowling's right to express her opinions about women.

    How do you define SCIENCE?

    I don't know what you mean. Please give an example of a secondary scientific method. Philosophy is philosophy. There is all sorts of philosophy, even philosophy of science. It is notoriously difficult to do science for macroevolution. There are ongoing experiments with rapidly reproducing...

    Should freedom of religion grow in the many countries of the world?

    When religion is not free, people just pretend.

    Should all countries adopt a 2nd Amendment (Right To Bear Arms)?

    Even though all people have a right to defend themselves, some governments are afraid that people will stand up for themselves.

    Trump.. The greatest president America ever had

    Hmm, I dont know if Trump is the greatest President ever, but he did accomplish some significant things: Didn't start a new war. Yes, this is an accomplishment. Secured the border. Successfully implemented the Remain in Mexico policy reduced bloodshed in Afghanistan and had path to proper...

    Does the US need a third party to take control

    I don't think a third party is necessary. When two parties disagree a lot, a third party is just adding noise. And unless a third party offers a substantially different point of view from the other existing parties, it really hurts the popular opinion. In fact, it is a known method to...

    The new Twitter (X): Elon Musk and Freedom of Speech

    I don't know why others like or dislike Musk. I wouldn't give him much thought except that he did single-handedly save twitter. I don't approve of him calling it "X", but I imagine that Musk does a lot I don't approve of. I can't say I agree with Voltaire, but I've read that the quote is...

    Parents Rights On Transgender Policy

    It seems to me that if a child is going to start using different pronouns, using different bathrooms, participating on sports teams for different genders, then the parents need to be told. When exactly were you planning on informing parents? Surely, you weren't thinking that parents would show...

    How can you be a True Christian™ if you don't take the Eden story literally?

    I'm sure you can find statements that are more or less "full of hate". The quote from Nobelist Stephen Weinberg starts with calling religion an insult, so it's already starting off dealing in the world of insults. It also speaks in absolute. He doesn't call out an example, he blanket labels...

    How do you define SCIENCE?

    Science is the application and result of the scientific method. Without the scientific method, there is no science. You can observe all day long, study all you want, and conduct as many experiments as you like, and use whatever system you want, but if the scientific method is not applied, then...

    How can you be a True Christian™ if you don't take the Eden story literally?

    No, he made a hateful verbal attack - which is not the same thing as a hateful act or a form of harmful legislation. Here is the quote I was refering to: I hope that clears up your confusion @ppp . You are the one who said: So, yes, when I talk about anti-God and anti-religion beliefs, I am...

    How can you be a True Christian™ if you don't take the Eden story literally?

    I'm not sure the relevance to thread, but Job was rewarded by God, if I recall correctly. Good for you? I guess? You have your belief, right or wrong, as long as you don't perform heinous acts or pass harmful legislation because of your anti-God and anti-religion beliefs - Nobelist Stephen...

    How can you be a True Christian™ if you don't take the Eden story literally?

    It may seem unfair if you believe that you are a better judge than God. The Promised Land is an actual physical geographical area (today roughly equated with the land of Israel). The story is that Moses died before the wandering Jews reached it. There are various beliefs about Heaven. In any...

    How can you be a True Christian™ if you don't take the Eden story literally?

    Yes, you may choose to lie about what you believe or choose to be honest about it. And, yes, you can choose to trust a source of information or not. I don't see how your philosophical musings on mindless robots are relevant (let alone accurate). Perhaps that's a topic for another thread? I...

    How can you be a True Christian™ if you don't take the Eden story literally?

    This doesn't seem to be the point. An Appeal to Purity would be a logical fallacy. God is the judge of such things and, yes, he can bestow or deny rewards as he see fit to anyone. If you think that you are the judge of what is good, then you might not qualify. There is a rather famous example...

    Biden, Pence and Trump.... the tale of the classified documents

    It's not just the FBI's fault. The DOJ and the NARA and other parts of the federal bureaucracy are at fault. Seems like there are a bunch of people that didn't get "dragged away in handcuffs and put into a deep deep hole never to see the sun again". I'm glad you linked that, because it shows...
