    What Causes or Motivates the Anti-scientists?

    Do you think you could rediscover the double helix structure of DNA all on your own? Do you think 9th graders should be doing x-ray crystallography? The whole point of school is to learn what the scientists before you discovered so that you can stand on their shoulders and add to our...

    What Causes or Motivates the Anti-scientists?

    Most adults I know are incapable of understanding peer reviewed papers, so how is a 9th grader going to be capable of understanding these same papers? Then why send them to school in the first place? Just give them a library card and be done with it.

    Why doesn’t God communicate directly to everyone?

    You are a skeptic when it comes to Mormonism. If someone said that it was self evident that an angel gave Joseph Smith some golden plates, would you find that convincing? Also, it is written in Joseph Smith's own writings that these events happened.

    The Creationist's Argument and its Greatest Weakness

    So your best argument is just to say "It's self evident"? That doesn't seem like a very convincing argument.

    YouTuber claims we'll never see another Democrat elected president

    So are the Republicans out of touch because they can't get very many votes in urban areas? Why are you only using the ability to get votes in rural areas as a measure of how in touch a political party is with the American people?

    YouTuber claims we'll never see another Democrat elected president

    So what are those standards? For example: "The Snowflakes also tend to cry and get angry when they hear someone like Sam Harris or Jordan Peterson talk, revealing themselves to be traitors of Left Wing ideology as a whole with their illiberal positions that seek to destroy freedom of speech."...

    Why are some Left Wing Liberals, So intellectually dishonest

    False. The zero-tolerance policy was put in place by Sessions in April of this year.

    The Creationist's Argument and its Greatest Weakness

    There is one easy strategy that fixes it all: Don't assume that the Bible is meant to be a book of science.

    Vaccines

    Just ask them if they know anyone who has suffered from polio. If they say no, let them know it is because of vaccines. As the old saying goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

    Why are some Left Wing Liberals, So intellectually dishonest

    Just in case this isn't clear enough, this is what Jeff Sessions said about the recent change in DOJ policy: "Compounding this problem, the previous administration wouldn’t prosecute illegal aliens who entered the country with children. It was de facto open borders. The results were...

    The Watchmaker Revisited

    I assume I took too much LSD.

    Why are some Left Wing Liberals, So intellectually dishonest

    "Attorney General Jeff Sessions today notified all U.S. Attorney’s Offices along the Southwest Border of a new “zero-tolerance policy” for offenses under 8 U.S.C. § 1325(a), which prohibits both attempted illegal entry and illegal entry into the United States by an alien. The implementation of...

    Why doesn’t God communicate directly to everyone?

    One of the fastest growing congregations is the Mormon church, but I doubt you take that as evidence for an angel giving Joseph Smith some golden plates written in some strange language.

    Political Christian Morality

    Ms. Sanders seems to have confused morality for obedience. "I was just following orders" was a line used by the least moral people of the last 100 years.

    Why are some Left Wing Liberals, So intellectually dishonest

    Sessions could rescind the recent DOJ order that there will be a zero tolerance policy towards all immigrants which is what led to the current situation. It is entirely within the power of the White House and DOJ to end this because they are the ones who started it.

    Why are some Left Wing Liberals, So intellectually dishonest

    The current policy, one enacted by the Trump administration, states that mothers who are with their children and illegally cross the border will have their children taken from their arms and placed into custody. That didn't exist in the Obama administration. It exists now. It is this policy...

    The Creationist's Argument and its Greatest Weakness

    Christians seemed to have dealt with the Earth moving about the Sun, so I don't see how evolution is that much of a problem. "First, . . . to want to affirm that in reality the sun is at the center of the world and only turns on itself without moving from east to west, and the earth . . ...

    Why are "some" right-wing conservatives so intellectually dishonest?

    That's not what is happening now. When a family with children shows up at the border they are immediately separated. That was not happening before.

    I've Sacrificed my belief in Evolution for Religion

    Precisely. Therefore, common descent between Chihuahuas and Great Danes disproves the Bible.

    I've Sacrificed my belief in Evolution for Religion

    Then move forward and I will follow along. Clades are a common ancestor and all of their descendants. Clades are defined by shared derived features, such as fur, mammary glands, cusped cheek teeth, and a single lower jaw bone help define the mammal clade. I interpret the Bible as saying...
