    Taking pictures of children in public is illegal

    Lol. My sense of humour is a little dry for you, I see. :D

    Seven Reasons it's easier to Believe in God than to Accept Evolution

    If his own contribution is any indication, perhaps he's after a youtube video of some random talking head opining on the subject. :D

    Seven Reasons it's easier to Believe in God than to Accept Evolution

    I told you I've already watched videos and read books explaining your position and have found them all to be operating from a position of ignorance and sloppy reasoning. Can you honestly say you've given science an equally fair hearing?

    Taking pictures of children in public is illegal

    Ah, well by the time two billion pages of this debate passed by I was advocating kicking their balls in myself, out of boredom, but I thought my first ten thousand posts were quite dispassionate.

    Seven Reasons it's easier to Believe in God than to Accept Evolution

    Of course there's evidence. Do you think nobody's ever had a look at the inside of a whale before? Taken photos or drawn sketches of whale anatomy? My own evidence is David Attenborough standing inside a whale skeleton, pointing at the vestigial hip bones. You can see that documentary yourself...

    Seven Reasons it's easier to Believe in God than to Accept Evolution

    Depends whether or not you bothered to look it up, I suppose.

    Taking pictures of children in public is illegal

    I haven't actually seen any of this "emotional" stuff you think you saw, which makes me wonder if we've been reading the same thread. Pretty much everyone here has either defended the arrests based on law or ethics, and nearly all have been lucid, easy to follow and well reasoned. Are you sure...

    Tell that to the dinosaurs. :D

    Seven Reasons it's easier to Believe in God than to Accept Evolution

    Or, you know, you could just look up whether or not whales have vestigial leg bones. (Hint: they do.)

    Babyhood to adulthood

    It depends how you measure "luck". The vast majority of species that have ever existed are extinct. Like 99% or something. Life is still awesome and incredible to contemplate, but it's hard to imagine what kind of guiding and omnipotent intelligence would tolerate such a massive rate of failure.

    Seven Reasons it's easier to Believe in God than to Accept Evolution

    You know, you can actually use the very same gadget you are now using to complain about a lack of evidence to look up the evidence. Sounds crazy, but it's true.

    10 Teachings of Jesus Challenge

    I don't believe he is God either, but if I ever meet him I expect him to turn the other cheek, forgive, love me as his neighbour, yada yada yada, just as he instructed all of us to do.

    Babyhood to adulthood

    Evolution doesn't necessarily favour organisms that care for their offspring. The "squirt and skeddadle" approach, dating from the earliest egg laying animals (ie reptiles, amphibians, insects) , is still much more common than the more intensive child care that has gradually developed in birds...

    Out of 100? I'd say 100, unless Skwim was passing by, on which case, 99. :D

    Colorado unemployed the lowest since 2008

    I think if bc legalized pot, our unemployment rate would drop a few points too, as all those dealers would suddenly become tax paying business owners.

    Babyhood to adulthood

    What happened? Changes in allele frequencies caused by imperfect gene copying, working against environmental and reproductive challenges in a large number of geographically isolated populations. Or, to put it more briefly, evolution.
  17. Alceste

    Babyhood to adulthood

    Yes, evolution has the answer. Since the very first colony of cellular blobs developed the ability to swap DNA hundreds of millions of years ago, every living thing on earth has had parents. It's religion that claims otherwise, not evolution.

    We do know how it happened gradually over millions of years. You may not, but all you need to do is pick up a biology textbook if you would like to learn, and have it be as obvious to you as it is to those of us who understand the theory.

    Then it is atheism you think is stupid, not evolution.

    Babyhood to adulthood

    There wasn't a "first mammal". Evolution happens much too gradually for there to be a "first" anything. Every generation is the same species as its parents, but a teensy bit different. You are not identical to your parents, and your children will not be identical to you. Over thousands of...
