    Socio-Economic Standards

    That is a fair assessment. However one must also realize that society goes through cycles of fairness and opportunity, followed by narcissism corruption and warfare. After the dust settles, then people vow to improve the lot of others 'lest it happen again'. And then it happens again.

    I prayed to all the gods, none have answered back...

    Perhaps you already have the capacity to find the answer to your illness through normal means? God will not help us do things that we can accomplish without direct intervention. Have you tried doing an internet search on your symptoms cross-reference with the keyword 'diet' perhaps?

    The evolution of the eye

    But it seems that if replicating molecules were simply a result of electromagnetic reactions, then we would be able to simply provide the correct proportions of 'primeval soup' and then life would spontaneously come into being. Now I'm sure there are links claiming this, just as there are links...

    Why Facts Don't Change Our Minds

    However, the extent of confirmation-bias only has to be less than the other contenders to be sustained.

    Is Pain And Suffering The Only Way To Convince Atheists That There Is A God

    I would like to think otherwise, that a discourse of pure logic would lead someone to God, but that path is perhaps open to agnostics. Still, the atheist is a tougher nut to crack. But I would suggest that the type of pain and suffering should be of a purely psychological nature; and that...

    The evolution of the eye

    The quote degenerates into jargon, and the writer avoids clear-worded reasoning and has not ever heard of the 'paragraph'. Of course, that neither proves nor disproves the thesis. But it does speak of a disregard for the role of philosophers in bridging the gap between the esoteric and clear-cut...

    Proof against black-holes

    There is absolutely no such evidence. Had you read the full article you will see the numerous reasons why the LIGO data is false. These graphs are the data you are referring to, hmm? Here is the full article that disproves that gw150914 is a pair of 'black-holes'...

    Proof of instant gravity.

    You are saved! Bless you! Now carry the message to those godless institutions that: gravity is instant! If you do not, then be very very careful next time you decide to go anywhere near a whale.

    Jesus used dark energy to walk on water

    ok, so I am being a wee bit speculative here. But let me explain why I think this before you scoff, scorn and scowl. Firstly dark energy must exist or else all the mass in the universe would be pulled together by gravity into a single big blob of matter. So there must be a 'force' that...

    Proof of instant gravity.

    Peer-pressure-review clearly does not work, or else BOGVOS (or something similar) would have been noted before now. My logic is absolutely correct, and if the (alleged) scientific community is too conceited to admit that it has been out-thought by a single African honors philosophy student...

    Proof of instant gravity.

    that was ad hoc sophistry. If the force pulls to where the other star was, the pair will spiral outwards. That is just logical. Could you please reference where you claim this logic has been noted before me? How and what 'pushes to the side'? If the information as to which side to push...

    The ultimate question for theists

    Very well put. An answer to this is that the universe is at least partially illogical. The word I use is this: mystical. It can be simply put as: 'how did logic come into being?' (we can use 'causality' or 'math' or 'determinism' instead of 'logic' in this question) The answer to this must be...

    Could the entire world become a single nation?

    Only when there is no more over-population. Too many people wrongfully see having more than 2 children as a way of improving the position in society. Excess young males are then 'encouraged' to migrate to parts of the world that are wealthy because they have stable population growth. If these...

    What's wrong with these people that call for the Death of all Jews?

    Population pressure causes people to seek scape-goats for the suffering caused by too many demands. It has little to do with their beliefs directly, every society has suffered from this at some time or other. This is why willful abstinence from sexuality is a character-trait more valuable than...

    What are: 'the voices in your head'?

    Ignoring thoughts is not the same as dissipating them with reason & meditation. One of the reasons that people 'go mental' is that they ignore bad thoughts, instead of seeking their origin; either within or without.

    Proof against black-holes

    And that is no argument against my argument disproving black-holes.

    Proof of instant gravity.

    You have not actually explained what you mean. If the gravity is delayed because it travels the distance between the binary stars, then one star would be pulling to the point that the gravity originated from (the other star). This causes the out-spiral that would mean that all binary pairs fall...

    Proof of instant gravity.

    I live in a remote corner of Africa. I don't know any individuals involved in institutional academia. Its my experience (out here) that formal recognition has less to do with the logic of the theory than it has to do with palm-greasing and croneyism. In order for me to put the effort in to...

    Platonic Argument Against Materialism

    Abstractions do exist. Mathematical forms do exist. We use math every day, all the time, without which these computers we are communicating with, would not exist. And yet, when we look inside the brain we see no perfect circles, just like when we look inside a TV set we do not see a miniature...

    Platonic Argument Against Materialism

    That is just a tragic contradiction.
