Has been a while, saw some of the world and am working in Chile at the moment. Pretty much. I have heard an argument about atheism actually being a belief in regards to the existance of god(s), having no beliefs about the issue would mean you have no position in regards to it. This still...

Kal-el, you're coming off quite angry in this thread, degrading religious people and all. I know I've done it before, but I've found points get across much easier if you're calm about them. That you are attacking may make some think that you can't defend your own beliefs well, thus you try...

I've been using hand cleanser before doing a session, normal Purell stuff. Little on my hands, after it evaporates I seem to have a good grip for the session.

Thought it would happen, but still hoped Royce could do something. He took a beating <:(

God is dead, and we have the body to prove it: http://www.devilducky.com/media/45320/ ;) Anyone who's read the Jesus thread knows where I stand. Become more pragmatic since then, but still an atheist. Man made all the gods. In terms of living, as said to Napoleon, "Je n'ai pas besoin de...

After the laugther then come the tears... Finding I'm drinking a lot more since coming to Chile. Beer, as well as other alcohol is cheap. At every social gathering you're offered drinks, birthdays you get drinks, dinners they drink lots of wine, etc. Just realized how much and how often I...

Something I wanted to add, please take the post above as my concluding remarks. I'm off to travel shortly, and plan on revising and clarifying many portions of my worldview. As I said way back, build and destroy... Thanks for the time you've put into this debate and to anyone following it...

Finally some free time to respond to this, sorry for the long wait. I'm not sure where to start, so this may come out somewhat disjointed. Education - I see many problems with how I and many others were taught about science as a whole. The sections that describe the method and how we...

BIB, I have some sort of resolution in mind, but I need you to define your terms. I don't want us to just talk past each other again. In your view: What are the central tenets of the theory of evolution? What are the predictions of evolution? (evidence would we expect to find if...

BIB, Earlier when I mentioned gene and genome duplications it sounded like you weren't familiar with them. I was recently recommended the book "The Evolution of the Genome" in order to get up to speed on the subject. I just started reading it and it looks to be an interesting overview of...

BIB, I am not "resorting to such things", like I'm trying to "win" the debate. It's over. Actually, going back, I do apologize for the first one, I confused it with the one in the linked source somehow. Wald does infact say that. Darwin, you demand "transitory evidence of the heart...

Well, I was expecting an apology or perhaps acceptance of your need to look up the quotes, but instead you decided to be an asshole. As you seem so concerned with truth and critical thinking, I thought you'd appreciate seeing where you have may have been misled. My mistake. I'm still...

BIB, I decided to look up a few of your quotes, and I'm disappointed with what I found, not only is one a complete fabrication, others are blatant misrepresentations. I assume you pilfered the quotes from an apologetics site or book and didn't know of these problems. On the other hand, if this...

BIB, Thank you for the design post, and the large amount of work that obviously went into it. I'll give it a thorough read. It is over then. Funny, one of the main reasons I'd like to live forever, even as just an observer, would be to see where our discoveries lead in the future. Kraft

BIB, First you said evolution doesn't happen, then conceeded natural selection and all that entails. You say macroevolution doesn't happen, yet I provided you with sites dealing with just that, showing events of speciation. Now, if speciation isn't enough for you, what is macroevolution...
