    The ultimate philosophical question for science.

    Indeed. However no moreso than anything else.

    The ultimate philosophical question for science.

    Our self awareness comes from advanced chemistry and neuro biology within the brain that was developed through evolution. Cognitive function is the basis for what you call self-awareness or consciousness. It has nothing more to do with the quantomland than any other seemingly more mundane...

    The Book of Mormon vs. The King James Version of the Bible

    First of all this isn't a scientific study nor is it a peer reviewed article. It is a single page on a National Parks of Alaska website. You don't seem to understand the links that you are refering to. The fact that Y chromosomal DNA does not bear any sort of resemblance to the Y chromosomal...

    Does an Atheist Know God?

    Its a neat theory but really doesn't hold for what we were discussing.

    Does an Atheist Know God?

    The research does not show cognition. No where did it mention cognition. What it mentions is slow but advanced information processing in the behavior of plants. However it functions in a significantly different way that animal cognition which only comes out of brain structures.

    Does an Atheist Know God?

    The ability to aquire and apply knowledge and skills? Typically this requires cognition.

    Liberals and Islam

    I both do and don't understand it. Liberals as a whole average tend to be concerned with oppressed or discriminated minorities. And Muslims fit this description while being in the US. Conservatives which are rooted now in Christianity see's Islam as an enemy so it has been a knee jerk reaction...

    Begging the Question

    So this works against the argument the earth was young. If radiometric dating and half life measurements don't work because they didn't start to die till after the fallt hen it would mean that the fall was just that much older! If the radiometric dating measures a few million years and then...

    Does an Atheist Know God?

    I would like to know the definition of "intellegence" as you use it. Why do you think trees have cognition? And for that matter why do you think bacteria has cognition? About a meter and a half.

    Does an Atheist Know God?

    We probably have the concept of love more advanced than any other previous species but I wouldn't ever say that humans are the only ones that love. Empathy exists in most mammalian species. It even exists in many birds and a good number of reptiles. Not in trees. Tree's don't give a crap if you...

    Does an Atheist Know God?

    I don't think love is something supernatural. Love is just a feeling. Fear isn't something supernatural for example but it legiimtatly exists.

    Does an Atheist Know God?

    Not in the least.
  13. Monk Of Reason

    Does an Atheist Know God?

    I know love. I also don't know god. Unless you reduce god to love the two are not the same.

    Once again no comment from Obama as an Egyptian church is bombed at Christmas... why so minimal?

    Sort of like being told by everyone in your family, school and community that god exists and is exactly like "X"? Yeah. Belief structures are such cheeky little things aren't they?

    "The Moral Collapse of the Republican Party"

    Oh no I agree just wanted to interject that corporations own both sides.

    Once again no comment from Obama as an Egyptian church is bombed at Christmas... why so minimal?

    Sure. Which is neither here nor there to the point being made. Someone earlier in the thread made the comment that he was being biased towards Muslims because he didn't make an offical statement on a specific incident where some christians were killed. I think that any idea that Obama is...

    "The Moral Collapse of the Republican Party"

    Eh... Both are corporate policies. In more than half of the decisions made by congress its already decided. However we have what has been deemed irrelevant squabbles for the masses to fight over. The problem is that the yare important issues but they are used to divide us in a charade of...

    Well soon as Obama did it they hated it anyway.

    Once again no comment from Obama as an Egyptian church is bombed at Christmas... why so minimal?

    Under Obama we have switched from a more passive role with fewer targeted attacks to a more proactive approach with ten times the number of targeted attacks. He has been far more aggressive than any other president under him in terms of targeted strikes. Either way the spirit of my point still...

    Once again no comment from Obama as an Egyptian church is bombed at Christmas... why so minimal?

    Here is a politifact link. There are more sources at the bottom. I may be wrong. Depends on the definition according to them. Bush killed potentially 33,000 people while Obama only 30,000. However the majority of people killed by Bush were combatants while Obama increased drone strokes ten...
