    Science Proves Nature Was Created

    Hah yourself mate, that was not the interpretation of evolution taught in public school in Canada. You are describing the US Christian evangelic interpretation of evolution, not the one taught in public school. If you still have your school books, you can look them up and prove this for yourself.

    Science Proves Nature Was Created

    Just curious, but why did your school in Canada teach you the Discovery Institutes interpretation rather than the scientific view of evolution? Was it an evangelic Christian school? The best way for you to learn about what evolution really is would be to get a couple of books on biology from...

    Science Proves Nature Was Created

    So if you understand natural selection, why were you asking questions that made it appear that you don't? What? That is evolution. Changes to the environment favoured darker moths. What do you mean? There are four species of dog and dozens of species of cabbage. So no, that is not the...

    Atheism is not a default position

    Yes, two different but perfectly sound usages of the term 'atheist'. That you are making a fundamental mistake - which so far you have defended only by agreeing with me, questioning my approach and referring to your experience. The actual argument you have agreed with. Why would I need to? The...

    What Would You Think If You Died and Met the Gods?

    I would be in absolute rapture. I was pretty obsessed with Greco-Roman mythology as a boy.

    Atheism is not a default position

    No offence, but given your experience as a lexicographer - that is an extraordinary misconception. There is no 'usage test', the idea of implicit atheism has been thoroughly published and discussed. Suggesting that referring to babies as atheists fails some sort of 'usage test' is just plain...

    can you live by 500 dollars in month , in your country ?

    In Perth rent would cost at least $350 a week alone, so that is $1500 a month right there. Sure you could share a house, but $250 a week for rent and electricity would be about as cheap as it gets even if you are sharing.

    Doesn't that illustrate rather perfectly why arguing against a definition is pointless?

    Science Proves Nature Was Created

    LOL The random mutations are not natural selection, the natural selection is the increase in survivability some of those variations result in. That is the feedback - that the most well adapted are more likely to survive. Are you honestly not aware of how all farm animals vegetable and grain...

    What do people think "theist" means?

    No offence, but you are mistaken - not all forms of pantheism posit an interventionist God. I do understand that some do. As I understand it many forms of pantheism posit a God that does not intervene. There are of course a lot of grey areas when defining people's beliefs - which is why a few...

    So you replied to let me know that you weren't replying? You wanted to let me know that you are ignoring me? Oooooookay.

    Sharing an observation about atheism here on RF

    Yeah, so the trick is to just ask whoever you are talking to what definition they are using - then you understand what they mean. But just attacking the definition they used to describe their position is an indication of a fundamental error of logic. A barrier to any me6aningful exchange. Sure...

    Sharing an observation about atheism here on RF

    Which is a truly futile exercise. A pointless approach based upon a fundamental misconception of how language works. Actually no it does not. It is just a fatuous red herring that is getting endlessly perpetuated. The definition of atheism in which babies are considered atheists does not refer...

    Ok, but do you think that if they did - you could disprove liberalism by applying it to rocks?

    I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean.

    Sharing an observation about atheism here on RF

    What have rocks got to do with it? Atheism and theism are about HUMAN BELIEFS, forget about rocks. Ever notice how you never see anybody try to refute liberalism by saying 'yeah but rocks aren't liberals!'. The definitions people are applying to atheism all refer to people, not inanimate objects.

    Atheism is not a default position

    Sure, just writing random letters is also simple. The point is n that dialogue and algebra are different. Yes, my apologies - I am indeed missing the point, to me it looks like simply over complicating. Sorry we could no get further on that.

    Is a War coming to America?

    I can't help but think sometimes that the USA needs a war on home soil. It has made itself rich from war, it has propogated wars across the earth for decades, it has an economy based upon war. Maybe a war closer to home would make all this violence at great distance seem less ok. I can't help...

    What do people think "atheist" means?

    I think that after we all discover the 'correct definition', we can hunt rainbow unicorns and move into our sky castles.

    What do people think "theist" means?

    Theism generally refers to a belief in a personal interventionist God, as opposed to the deist or pantheist conception of a God that does not interact with us.
