    Atheists are animals

    No one knows, right? People believe that the Bible is right about it; others don't. No one will know before it happens, and there isn't any evidence either way. Using the Bible as evidence is logically fallacious, as it is an "argument from authority".

    Atheists are animals

    Sure. It seems like you are incorrectly assuming that for some reason a story written thousands of years ago somehow provides evidence for your argument. Am I accurate in that assumption? Btw, I would absolutely love "sharing the kingdom" with animals ... it wouldn't be "heaven" without them...

    Atheists Pressure MI School District to Stop Treating the Birth of Jesus as Fact

    It certainly shouldn't be celebrated in public schools. But, I say we just ditch the religious implications of Christmas and keep the family, generosity, good tidings, etc. aspect and make it a national holiday.

    Atheists are animals

    Human beings are animals. We are part of the Great Ape family. We are, to the best of our knowledge, the only animals who currently participate in politics, economics, etc., but many other animals have various social abilities. Your feelings, beliefs, or animosity toward the idea of being...

    Which evolved first, the orbit or the eye?

    You can't talk about one without the other. Evolution changes DNA, which alters genes, which effects development.

    Right back at ya. Thanks for saying hi. I've just returned to Religious Forums after taking a long break, and it's always nice to receive such a nice greeting. Hope all is well.

    Does the Bible mention Islam?

    Can you provide the quote where Islam is discussed?

    A simple case for intelligent design

    Why not? Are you saying that just because something is possible without any verifiable evidence, it somehow competes with the theory of evolution by natural selection? Why should we even consider something without concrete evidence?

    A simple case for intelligent design

    See image below. it is very easy to see the smaller pieces making up the pyramid whole. Yes. Blocks are never cut in this way naturally and piled up to make a larger formation.

    A simple case for intelligent design

    We can see that from the fossil record. But, maybe I don't get your question. If we assume that random mutations and natural selection occur and that we all have a universal common ancestry (at least on this planet), what use is there for design? What is there for design to explain?

    Trump will be reelected

    He is also the most ignorant, divisive, angry, and thin-skinned president in living history. He is also the most embarrassing president of my lifetime. He has control of the minds of about 30% of the population, but that could change if he keeps up these constant hissy fits and his immature...

    Which evolved first, the orbit or the eye?

    You are confused. He said that genes control development, not evolution.

    A simple case for intelligent design

    Well, specifically with the pyramids, we can see that they are constructs consisting of many different blocks that are obviously cut from larger rocks and piled on top of each other ... hence the word "constructed". If we found a mountain on mars, for example, we could not conclude that it was...

    A simple case for intelligent design

    Natural selection along with billions of years to work with and enough chaos explains it all.

    A simple case for intelligent design

    We can. So, what's the problem?

    A simple case for intelligent design

    Every piece of evidence found supports evolution by natural selection, and there hasn't been any evidence that contradicts evolution by natural selection. These alternatives would have to meet the same standard to even compete with evolution and make it controversial. The only arguments...

    A simple case for intelligent design

    We know that the pyramids are artificial constructions. The same test cannot be used for living organisms. Complexity does not evidence design when discussing natural organisms.

    Is atheism a religion?

    Atheism is an extremely broad term. It includes those who merely "lack" or "are without" a belief in any deities. Therefore, those who are undecided (neither believe nor disbelieve in deities) can accurately be considered atheists (agnostics = "weak atheists"). Thus, it would be illogical to...

    A simple case for intelligent design

    Why is evolution by natural selection controversial. Human intuition when it comes to spotting design is not evidence of anything. We can determine through evidence that artificial structures and such were designed, but it is irrational to use the same test when it comes to natural organisms...

    Call Out Culture

    It's sad, but I think there is no fixing it without help from our leaders. When people see something that they disagree with but cannot argue against logically, they turn to insults instead of conceding. It has always been a problem, but with the way our leaders on both sides of the aisle...
