    The Human Genome Is Still Mostly Junk

    Already covered this several times. If junk DNA had sequence specific function then there would be evidence of sequence conservation. That evidence isn't there. We know that it is junk DNA because of what we have discovered, not because of a lack of discoveries. Also, vestigial organs are...

    African American Culture Appropriation(hypocrisy?)

    Take your pick. The important part is that you naturally see the problem that this would pose.

    African American Culture Appropriation(hypocrisy?)

    Obviously, there isn't a hard and fast rule for cultural appropriation. If someone is reverential to the cultural source and grew up within that culture then it usually isn't frowned upon. A poor white kid who grows up in the hood can exist in the world of hip hop without raising too many...

    African American Culture Appropriation(hypocrisy?)

    The thought is that a culture that develops under the hardship of slavery and discrimination is cheapened when it is appropriated by the culture that oversaw slavery and discrimination. It's like a German catholic taking on the airs of a Jew and talking about the hardships of the Holocaust.

    I agree. Our worldviews are based on what we believe, not on what we don't believe.

    Hillary knew the Americans wouldn't accept

    Hillary had 3 million more popular votes than Trump. No one has ever lost a presidential election after getting 3 million more votes than their closest competitor. I don't think it had anything to do with gender.

    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    Theists tend to say otherwise. They say that their beliefs heavily influence how they see the world, how they view others, and how they treat others. They are used interchangeably in everyday speech, so I really don't see a problem. Most theists here belong to one of the big 3 world religions.

    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    Atheism isn't a world view, so I'm not sure why you included it. Rational skepticism might be closer to the worldview you are thinking of.

    GOP Wants To Strip Healthcare From Millions

    You increase funding of Medicare. Medicare has always been a "pay as you go" system.

    Good for him

    The federal government should just deschedule it and be done with it. Commute all sentences for those who were federally convicted for non-violent offenses, and let the states decide how they will regulate it.

    Atheism people have a belief "God does not exist "

    For me, it is realizing that we have limited knowledge of the universe around us so we shouldn't base our arguments on universal negatives.

    Atheism and the Big Bang

    Fair enough. George Lemaitre was not an American Evangelical, but he was definitely a Christian.

    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    Everyone holds a world view. It's part of being human.

    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    Atheism is touted as a statement about what a person does not believe in, namely deities. "The only common thread that ties all atheists together is a lack of belief in gods. Some of the best debates we have ever had have been with fellow atheists. This is because atheists do not have a common...

    Atheism people have a belief "God does not exist "

    As the old saying goes, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
