    The difference between Human and animal

    Huh! I didn't know about that! That's pretty cool!

    The difference between Human and animal

    The biggest difference that I've heard about (you know, aside from that whole "spoken language" thing), is that they don't seem to be all that interested in asking questions, which is a cornerstone of human behavior. However, here's the thing: I don't usually think to ask questions right away...

    Scotoma: Don't Trust Your Eyes!!!

    Honestly, I think this is just a part of our cultural behavior. Religion isn't the only place in culture where this happens; it's just the easiest to pick on.

    How do you know your deity is good?

    It does kind of look like you're just assuming they're not evil, as if being not evil were somehow inherent to the status of Godhood. That'd be fine, I'm also a polytheist so I don't care what people apply that status to or how they define it. (I think of the Gods as neither.) However, for...

    The difference between Human and animal

    Then again, chimps and bonobos are so much like humans that some have even proposed bringing them under the "homo" genus, which would make them scientifically human. (I'm not familiar enough on chimp biology to have an opinion either way.) There's also that bonobo who can play Pac-Man. :D

    dinosaurs never existed. The dinosaur fossils were created by paleontologist scam artists.

    'Cause that's how bored I am. LOL More seroiusly, I like to think of it as an opportunity to hone in my research skills, and perhaps even double-check facts and findings I always took for granted but might now be long outdated.

    dinosaurs never existed. The dinosaur fossils were created by paleontologist scam artists.

    Seriously, the only reason I can think of to hold to these kinds of beliefs is just to be different for difference's own sake. "EVERYONE just takes for granted that dinosaurs are real, so I'm not going to because I don't wanna be a sheep like them!" I can understand that urge, since I'm kind of...

    Neither did most non-avian dinosaurs.

    I have pictures of some if you wanna see.

    dinosaurs never existed. The dinosaur fossils were created by paleontologist scam artists.

    Oh, you mean that whole fiasco with archaoraptor? I already knew about that. The bones used to make it come from other dinosaurs. I took a look at the uploader's other videos, and can pretty safely conclude that this guy is an unreliable source of information. Therefore, if I had actually...

    dinosaurs never existed. The dinosaur fossils were created by paleontologist scam artists.

    I don't know what that is. In any case, you shouldn't trust me. I'm just a random dude on the internet as far as you can tell. You don't know my credentials, you don't know where I got my knowledge, you don't know how much experience I have on this topic. So, now I ask you this: what makes you...

    Why do you trust that video?

    Our beliefs are stronger if we believe there is a moral basis...

    It does make sense. As I understand it, on a psychological level, being regarded as a "bad person" by society means being rejected by, and subsequently isolated from, said society. In the old days, that typically meant death because survival alone in the Wilds is next to impossible except for...

    dinosaurs never existed. The dinosaur fossils were created by paleontologist scam artists.

    Probably before recorded history. Can you point me to the first language?

    dinosaurs never existed. The dinosaur fossils were created by paleontologist scam artists.

    It's been explained several times that this is not a fact. Yeah, because it's not true. The fossils have been found for millenia. Dinosaurs aren't dragons, and dinosaurs are still around.

    Future of LGBT

    All movements and communities have issues. It is my hope that when the movement does die, it's because non-heterosexuality, non-monogamy, and gender non-binary will have become so normalized that a movement is no longer necessary.

    Future of LGBT

    Just looking at the source website, and some of the other articles, I need a bloody good reason why the article linked in the OP accurately describes the movement. Far as I can tell, this doesn't appear to be a terribly trustworthy source.

    Future of LGBT

    Why would you hope for such a thing?

    What God in each major ancient civilization is closest to the one supreme God?

    Right, those are the two most accepted hypotheses, respectively called the "Kurgan Hypothesis", and the "Anatolian Hypothesis." The former is the one with the highest degree of acceptance, but these are still just hypotheses, not theories. There's a few other possibilities that don't have...

    Vegetarianism/Veganism and You

    I think it does boil down to whether Death is something that is considered Absolutely Bad and to be postponed for as long as absolutely possible, if not outright avoided altogether, at all other costs.
