    Darwin's Illusion

    If we ever observed a fish giving birth to a human, that would be strong evidence against evolution. If you disagree, then you simply don't understand evolution. There is an entire cottage industry of apologetics that spread falsehoods to make evolution sound utterly ridiculous. Without...

    Woke and DEI - good intentions, so-so, dogmatic solutions

    I can't see how they're well intended. "Wokeism" is an undefined boogeyman that appeals to conservatives' inchoate racism and discomfort with changing demographics. Fear is the easiest way to gather political support, and the most corrosive to long term political stability. DeSantis' strategy is...

    Objective Morality Without God

    God-based morality is subjective by definition. The moral precepts are based on the opinions and preferences of a subject, namely the god. Objective morality is stance-independent, by which things are moral independent of anyone's opinion on the matter, independent of any minds. There are a lot...

    Many different religious opinions

    No, they can't. Many if not most religious opinions are logical contradictions with each other. And so are many if not most fictional stories. It's almost as if religion and imagination have a lot in common. If you look at brain scans of people while they describe their own opinion, someone...

    Dispelling the myth of “hypothesis”

    Right, good post. I also share this frustration. Science is a method that incorporates all the tools we've discovered that can reliably distinguish mere imaginary ideas from real facts about the world. If anything supernatural had good, reliable, reasonable cause to believe it was real, then it...

    Ex Nihilo

    A perfect being wouldn't create anything. Since its own existence alone is a state of affairs that cannot be improved up, by definition, then any addition would detract from its perfection.

    When did God tell the Israelites that He was three persons?

    In early Christianity, there were many different sects. Some believed Jesus was a separate god from Yaweh, some believed Jesus was only a man who was granted divinity by god during his life, some believed he was the son of god, and others believed he was the same being as god. The trinity...

    What should be punishment for crime against humanity?

    People like a certain invasive autocrat should be made dead as soon as possible. But it should be a humane execution, not for his sake but for the sake of our own dignity.

    New breakthroughs in science and technology for 2022?

    The current impact score (average citations per article) of the journal all his work is published in, Cosmos and History, is 0.25. This number refers to how many times each article in the journal was cited on average in the first or second year after the article was published. In 2019, a year or...

    Jesus Christ is a scarecrow!

    TLDR, man. Still, even with a skim, you've got global Jewish cabals, chemicals, the Soviet Union, Ted Bundy, and S&M, all linked up in a happy conspiracy. Honestly, this reads like you've had a textbook case of a manic episode. You should look into getting medication. I say this with sincere...

    The Lords Prayer - ‘Thine is the Kingdom…’

    Yes, I understand the gospel of John is accepted by Christians. I'm saying they don't have good reasons for doing so. We have countless proven examples of people embellishing and adding false details to stories over time, and zero proven examples of anyone rising from the dead or being the...

    Parasitic Castration.

    Wow. Citation needed. I don't think this is true at all. Do you maybe just need to hook up with another guy? I'm serious, especially in light of your many past derogatory comments about women. You may need less philosophy and more tips touching. Don't be one of those guys who performatively...

    The Lords Prayer - ‘Thine is the Kingdom…’

    I mean, isn't John the only gospel, and the only place in the bible, where Jesus claims to be god? John was also the last gospel to be written, and is placed at least 60 years after Jesus' death, if not even later. If you look at the pattern of claims in each gospel, they become more and more...

    Life choice

    Nice. Another term for this is "self care." It's hard to properly care for others if you haven't first taken care of yourself. I think the world would be a better place if we all made self care a priority.

    Religious Missionaries

    I mean, historically "sending out missionaries" meant sending colonial forces with steel, guns, and zealots to distant shores, where the natives where beaten, tortured, enslaved, and had their children stolen away to indoctrination schools and their traditional beliefs and languages outlawed...

    Angels, Demons, or Aliens

    If someone had shown up 2000 years ago with a helicopter, an assault rifle, and an iPad, I'd expect they'd be considered a god by most. It didn't take much. Heck, forget the helicopter; old stories and family tradition seems to have been good enough for belief.

    Parasitic Castration.

    You might just want to take up a new hobby, namely carving African style sculptures of people with exaggerated, gigantic phalluses? You seem to think about and make frequent posts about the metaphysical significance of penises, angel penises, primordial penises, etc. Just do it. Make the...

    Moral Foundations Quiz

    Nurture 75% Tradition 20% Liberty 56% Apparently I'm a liberal who spits on tradition for tradition's sake. Sounds about right.

    What makes someone admirable?

    Isn't someone admirable so long as anyone admires them? A fascist is admirable from the perspective of other fascists. A cat trainer is admirable from the perspective of people who like cats. Are you asking instead for a list of traits that we should admire? Even then, it seems awfully...
