    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    Empiricism is the only means of determining reliable inductions about how reality works and how it affects our conscious experience, i.e., knowledge. Through experience one can learn what actions lead to what results and also how those results affect us. Other "ways of knowing" don't do that...

    Atheists believe in miracles more than believers

    You said that all of your reasoning was circular, which means that it is never correct. So then he was too great a mathematician to count past one? Maybe he was stuck in an infinite series with a limit of 1: 1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+....? You don't remember the counterexample I provided wherein a...

    Post a picture of yourself

    Nice. I have a recent photo like that from behind with no face that I'll add to my others reproduced below:

    Atheists believe in miracles more than believers

    Congratulations. You've set a high and worthy bar for yourself and achieved your goal. It sounds like you got there first. If you're right, YOUR opinion is irrelevant, since it is the product of reasoning in circles. Yes, you have, and I've rejected that with counterexamples just as often...

    Atheists believe in miracles more than believers

    Agree. As I just wrote, belief by faith is wrong. My trust in science is evidence-based. Disagree. It is harmless. Disagree. Actions might, but beliefs seldom kill. Disagree. We're all constantly surrounded by superstitious people, and many do cause harm, but mostly to themselves. Disagree...

    Atheists believe in miracles more than believers

    If believing in means believing without sufficient evidence as in believing in gods or Santa, then believing in anything is wrong. That is, though there is much that I believe, I believe in nothing. Furthermore, one doesn't need to believe in science to benefit from it. Nor need one understand...

    Metamorphosis

    Humanity might go extinct, but if so, that would likely be due to a natural catastrophe like a major asteroidal impact or a relatively nearby supernova. Self-inflicted damage as with climate change or nuclear war wouldn't likely kill off humanity, just cause an extreme correction as seen in...

    Jazz

    The word jazz is a fuzzy term that comprises a variety of musical substyles that roughly speaking, depart from classical music by introducing improvisation, more syncopation, unusual time signatures, and complex, dissonant tonalities (scales, chords, and chord progressions). Jazz is one of the...

    Atheists believe in miracles more than believers

    That's too broad a definition. Every false and unfalsifiable statement fits that description. The latter can be called superstitions, but the former includes errors. "Superstition : a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false...

    Trump to Purge Generals

    I trying to encourage others sincerely seeking information to ask AI rather than the RF gallery and encourage other posters asked these questions to do the same. Those who are merely being obstructionist and who aren't as interested in answers as implying that the other poster can produce none...

    Trump to Purge Generals

    Rhetorical question, right? These "rugged individualist" MAGA who see every immigrant as being a societal parasite will take anything they can get from the government. These are the people who scream for the government to butt out of their Medicare, they're first in line for FEMA checks, and...

    America isn't Christian

    I presume that you mean culturally. The American government was intended to be secular, but never has been. You have a different definition of Christian than I do. The people you describe called Christ God and considered the Bible God's word. The believed in the virgin birth and resurrection...

    30,000 feet of water?????

    Not meaningful to you doesn't mean not meaningful. Uninformed opinions have little value. Earlier, I wrote to you, "Lucy was a smaller animal. She combines the pelvis and skull of a bipedal ape like man with the much smaller cranial capacity of a chimp - about 1/3 the volume." You didn't...

    Trump to Purge Generals

    I began getting Social Security at the earliest age possible, 62, because I didn't trust that the benefits wouldn't be curtailed eventually and if so, it would be before I could recoup what I lost by waiting. That choice seems prescient now, especially since we haven't spent that money. Like...

    Speak Only in Random Song Lyrics

    We come from the land of the ice and snow From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow The hammer of the gods Will drive our ships to new lands To fight the horde, sing and cry Valhalla, I am coming On we sweep with threshing oar Our only goal will be the western shore Mark 00:38

    Speak Only in Random Song Lyrics

    And Madonna, she still has not showed We see this empty cage now corrode Where her cape of the stage once had flowed The fiddler, he now steps to the road He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed On the back of the fish truck that loads While my conscience explodes The harmonicas play...

    Hey Joe, I heard you shot your mama down You shot her down now Hey Joe, I heard you shot your lady down You shot her down in the ground Yeah Yes, I did, I shot her You know I caught her messin' 'round, messin' 'round town Yes, I did, I shot her You know I caught my old lady messin' 'round town...

    Speak Only in Random Song Lyrics

    I went around to your house, Found you laid up in the bed, By early afternoon you were so sloppy drunk, You couldn't even raise up your head. So get on with your life baby and Please let me get on with mine. These days and your ways are so painful, You're just wasting all our precious time...
