    A Question for Atheists

    English speaking site. For the English speakers on this forum I would say that the majority hail from countries where the Abrahamic religions have had the most influence. In addition it is the Abrahamic religions that tend to try and influence civil society the most when it comes to most...

    A Question for Atheists

    I'm not American and in the UK about 2/3 of adults are not religious so its not dominant at all. Christianity is not special as a religion. I am adamant about doubting and demonstrating the complete lack of evidence for every religion every time they think its Ok to enforce their religious...

    Why don’t Jews eat pork?

    What comes up in that link is only a part of an article. What is visible does not contain the word "pig" at all and the rest of the article is not accessible. Pigs can indeed catch plague as can cats, dogs, cattle, sheep, goats and horses, but in all these species it difficult for the infection...

    Why don’t Jews eat pork?

    That link doe not state that pigs can carry the plague in their blood.

    Why don’t Jews eat pork?

    Interestingly that simple.wiki entry looks to be contaminated with a good dose of BS. Pigs have not been not identified as a blood-borne carrier of plague and Muslim cities were certainly heavily affected by plague so the claim that they suffered fewer deaths due to not eating pork is rubbish.

    Evidence Macroevolution Does Not Exist

    Physics and Geology have established that there has been lots of time. At that rate then 1.37 billion years ago the distance between the earth and moon would have been: (384,400 x 1000 x 100) - (3.82 x 1,370,000,000) = 32,960,000,000 cm (or 329,600km aka 85.7% of its current distance). So...

    Age of Earth

    It hasn't changed in my lifetime, its just reduced its possible error range. When we say 4.54 billion years there is always the unspoken inclusion of the +/- 1% that is approximately the current range of uncertainty. Its been 4 and a half billion years plus or minus a bit for as long as I can...

    Creationist Error #5: Evolution = Religion

    Oh look, a 19 year old quote made when research into the Cambrian was just starting properly, ask Dawkins if he would say that today when considering all the pre-cambrian fossils found in the intervening years, now we do have ancestors of some of those invertebrate groups, and the research...

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    No it wasn't. There were many populations that grew and flourished under exactly the same conditions. The new mutations that lead to the ability to metabolise citrate as well as glucose only occurred in one of the sample populations. As ti what the mutations were (from Wikepedia E. coli...

    God Recreated the Earth 6,000 Years Ago!

    No, there aren't. If you looked at honest sources that don't lie about the facts you would see that there are a multitude of features that could not exist in there had been a flood.There is a very good reason why devout Christians who went looking for evidence for the Noachian flood and a young...

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    Wrong. There was no starvation. Wrong. They identified the exact mutations that led to the ability to metabolise citrate. Wrong, new information and a completely new mechanism. Wrong, there was no starvation. Wrong, the mutation has not been identified yet because no one has sequenced the...

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    Yes, really. But you are still getting it wrong, an Isolated system means no energy or mass transfers. Where the system is in terms of minimum or maximum entropy has no impact whether it is an isolated system. No energy transfers means it is an isolated system and you can apply the 2nd LoT to...

    Is science against the Revealed Religion?

    I think that you are confused. Just because revealed religions make claims that are contrary to the scientific evidence does not mean that science is against revealed religion. It simply falls under the general heading of science being unwilling to support stuff that is not true (or that lacks...

    Demanding scientific evidence for the existence of God is ridiculous

    We are wont to demand evidence, any evidence will do it just needs to be reliable. Just turns out there isn't any. If you want to claim something as major as the existence of a deity as a fact then you had better be able to provide scientific evidence that backs up your claim.

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    The utter inane ignorance of JM2Cs claim motivated me to go and find (again) someone who has done the maths. Does Life On Earth Violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics And the relevant quote is: That is the level of "evolution" that would violate the 2nd law, what we observe happening and...

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    NO. They do not violate the 2nd Law because living things are not isolated systems, and the 2nd Law only applies to ISOLATED SYSTEMS. The entropy increase in the Sun for the portion of energy that reaches the earth massively outweighs the local decreases in entropy caused by living things (or...

    This was unconstitutional

    Straight out of the Bigot's Handbook. Do you have any idea of the divorce rate for heterosexual couples in the US? Its over 40%. To counter your second claim all I will say is 55 years. Adorable couple together for 55 years marry as Texas AG blasts Supreme Court ruling

    This was unconstitutional

    The 14th Amendment of the Constitution gives everyone equal rights under the law, which means that it is precisely the job of the Supreme Court to determine when states are placing legal barriers on people in civil life in a manner that is unconstitutional.

    Are u going to leave USA now?

    Then you are wrong, and will remain wrong. Its normal and it should be accepted.

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    Words have more than 1 definition in English. Which is why you really need to learn how to use a dictionary/ Fact a thing that is known or proved to be true It is known to be true that the earth orbits the sun. It is known to be true that organisms evolve.
