    Babyhood to adulthood

    He noticed I'm female, I suppose, and figured that since repeatedly calling me stupid was having no effect on my demeanour or convictions, perhaps implying that I'm a dog ******* whore might. :D I am now totally won over to ID. Lol.

    black holes don't exist.

    ^^ These. This is what I hate about science reporting. For scientists, an outlier that contradicts the general consensus of experts is fairly insignificant, and may not even be worth looking at if not peer reviewed and the methodology found to be sound. For science reporters, an outlier...

    Evolution is not random.

    Babyhood to adulthood

    Here's one: if you don't accept what we know about how life came to be, I can only assume you accept the story that a magical man in the sky waved a magic wand and poofed everything into existence all of a sudden, just the way it is. Is that what you believe?

    Homosexual versus atheist president

    If Clinton gets elected you might get all three. :p

    I only come here to practice explaining evolution to children.

    If there are no genetic changes from one generation to the next, what exactly is it that you think natural selection is acting upon?

    Nope. The fruit trees and the animals that eat the fruit both evolve together. The trees grow taller because the short ones get munched, and the tree munchers grow taller because the short ones starve.

    I can assure you that both books are equally incorrect. You and the Christian creationists both use the exact same type of thinking to maintain your belief that they are true. Cognitive bias, cherry picking, creative rationalization and a surprisingly flexible interpretation that adapts...

    Is it possible for believers to believe the Bible has mistakes in it?

    I apologize for not reading the whole thread. My dad, who was a minister for a while, gave me his bible with advice on how to read it. He recommended reading the gospels first, and the sermon on the mount in particular. The rest of the book generally gives a sense of the culture, time and...

    black holes don't exist.

    Maybe, but maybe not. That's the whole point of publishing in a peer reviewed journal. Other experts check your work before the paper goes to print.

    No self… ok now what

    The first one. Like all animalia, I put order in one end, disorder comes out the other, and all the while I imagine I am more significant and attractive than an earthworm.

    black holes don't exist.

    I think the article overstates the significance of her paper. It's been submitted to an "online repository" of physics papers that is not peer reviewed? Why would that be, I wonder? If it's as important and persuasive as she thinks, wouldn't she be submitting it to a peer reviewed journal?

    I see myself as a narcissistic entropy tube.

    High cost of education

    I went to a vocational school. $15,000 for one year, which some folks at the time considered expensive for tuition. A degree would have cost much less in tuition per year, but much more over several years required to complete the program. Not only in tuition but in lost income from being in...

    Black hockey player called "Dark guy in the middle'

    I don't wonder. I've seen both faces of the police - the friendly one where they see you as a citizen they are supposed to protect and serve, and the other one where they see you as a perp. You don't want to be crossing paths with police at all, ever, if your skin colour makes them sort you and...

    "White pride"

    Maybe it's the feminists who are pumping our meat and dairy animals full of hormones to increase their size and yield, including estrogen. :D

    Because of the astonishing ignorance of everyone I've ever talked to who, like yourself, thinks the Quran does a better job explaining the diversity of life on earth than science.

    Electrical engineering isn't a science.
