    Single Payer Health Care

    The Republican party betrayed McCain when it failed to have a replacement for Obamacare. The only plan the Republican party has is to return to the broken pre-ACA system that bankrupts the middle class. The only real solution is a progressive tax and a single payer system like Medicare or the...

    Trumpers were wrong Congress has Trumps financial records

    You should look back at the Clinton years to refresh your memory.

    Trumpers were wrong Congress has Trumps financial records

    There doesn't have to be a criminal investigation in the Department of Justice in order for Congress to subpoena documents. The only requirement is that there be a congressional investigation. The Constitution gives Congress subpoena power.

    Evidence for a Young Earth (Not Billions of Years Old)

    That's false. You can't speed up genetic divergence. That still takes time. You need to show us two dog breeds that differ by 4% in the same way chimps and humans differ at the DNA level. Until you do so you really don't have a case.

    What do you do with missing evidence? Like the global dirth of mid Jurassic fossils

    To help put a finer point on this, the dates Austin got back were actually somewhat accurate. There were older, umelted rocks in the young rock so what Austin got was an average age of the new and old rock. The only bad assumption was made by Austin when he assumed the rocks he was looking at...

    The Evolution Chamber: Early Fossil Record

    "Arguments against macroevolution, based on so-called gaps in the fossil records, are also profoundly weakened by the much more detailed and digital information revealed from the study of genomes. Outside of a time machine, Darwin could hardly have imagined a more powerful data set than...

    Is it "an assertion that Atheism is correct"?

    What makes your guess any better? People have been making the same arguments for 1,500 years citing scripture in the same way you are doing. It's kind of hard to take any of it seriously at this point.

    Has who asserts for "existing” or "non-existing" of something actively to lift burden of proof?

    The burden of proof lies with the person who claims that gods exist, not with those who don't believe them.

    Atheist Activism

    I wasn't aware that words meaning things was a fallacy. Perhaps it is my science background that makes the a- prefix stand out more so than it does for other people. When I see a term like febrile and afebrile I know it means fever and without fever. When I see term like leukocytopenia I know...

    Its going to be a rough ride

    Good journalism does exist out there, but you are right in that we have to wade through all of the muck to find it. Democracies only work when there is an engaged citizenry, and that is true now more than ever.

    Its going to be a rough ride

    Ask Dan Rather how that worked out for him. Journalists are fired or suspended for running fake stories. It can end their careers, at least at respectable outlets (i.e. not Fox News). There are plenty of news agencies that still report about the dangers of fossil fuel use and global warming...

    Atheist Activism

    When atheists use the term "atheist" to describe themselves they mean "without a belief in gods", just as the a- and -theist parts of the words would indicate.

    How can you accept evolution and still have a spiritual reality, and/or a God faith

    It's not even an assumption that needs to be made. Without DNA we can never determine if any fossil is a direct ancestor of descendant of another fossil or living species. Ultimately, it is the mixture of features in fossils that allow us to test the predictions made by the theory of...

    The Willful Ignorance of Creationism

    Most people don't get that excited about mitochondria, but they are interested in gross anatomy that we inherited from the ancestors we share with modern fish.

    The Creationist's Argument and its Greatest Weakness

    It actually makes them appear morally inferior. They are saying that they can't control themselves, and that they need the threat of eternally hellfire to help keep themselves in line.

    How can you accept evolution and still have a spiritual reality, and/or a God faith

    You assume that after searching a tiny, tiny, tiny portion of the fossil record that we should have found a fossil for every species that has ever existed. That is a bad assumption. We don't know if any of these fossils had any ancestors. You don't know, either. Therefore, you can't make any...

    How can you accept evolution and still have a spiritual reality, and/or a God faith

    How did you determine that these fossils did not have any ancestors?

    The Creationist's Argument and its Greatest Weakness

    The burden of proof applies to claims that people make. I am not making a claim as to the origin of the universe. You are. Where is the evidence that the universe was created by God, as you claim?

    The Creationist's Argument and its Greatest Weakness

    Why would it ease our moral conscience? I find it highly unlikely that the only reason you are a moral person is because you fear retribution from God. When is God not silent?

    The Creationist's Argument and its Greatest Weakness

    That is still an argument from popularity.
