    Humans did NOT evolve from the common ancestor of Apes

    A profound insight of natural selection (which actually started in the abiogenesis stage) is that life conforms to deal with the conditions in the already present environment; life is plastic to the environment. You should read up on the environment of the early Earth, and see just how...

    Humans did NOT evolve from the common ancestor of Apes

    It isn't odd at all that we are suited for the existence we happen to live in; natural selection molds our traits to fit into the environment we find ourselves in. I don't think the odds of life is as slim as you portray. Consider that there are billions of galaxies, with billions of stars...

    Humans did NOT evolve from the common ancestor of Apes

    What line are you looking for? A human is any member of our species, some use it more generally for any species within the genus Homo making Neanderthal and friends human too.

    Humans did NOT evolve from the common ancestor of Apes

    But you do not deny the fact that you are a mammal, and I doubt you would deny that you are human, the biological species known as Homo sapiens. Well these biological classifications are nested hierarchically with each stage known as a taxa, meaning that each more specific taxa (e.g. a species...

    Non-lethal force

    I think people have the right to form sovereign nations and defend themselves. Was it wrong for the Allied forces to go to war with Hitler? Is it wrong for the Kurds to physically defend themselves against ISIL? What would your general strategy be if an army declared war on you?

    Non-lethal force

    I am not a pacifist, some people need to be stopped, violently if necessary. <insert horrible regime that needed to be stopped> War should be a last resort, but we must not shirk war's embrace either.

    Theistic (Biblical) Evolution: how does this sucker work?

    But how is God a utilitarian if he doesn't care about good deeds by themselves?

    Is slavery OK? EVER?? One Chrisitian thinks so...

    I think Sum of Awe does bring up an interesting point with animals. It is not inconceivable that some super-intelligent alien race would see us little differently than how we see domesticated animals, or wild animals that can be domesticated.

    Theistic (Biblical) Evolution: how does this sucker work?

    That's my whole point, God doesn't care about good deeds, which unless I'm missing something is not utilitarian as you say.

    9+6=15. The Common Core way. What happened to simply illustrating 9 apples and six apples?

    OMG! I hate doing those problems in my calc textbook.

    Theistic (Biblical) Evolution: how does this sucker work?

    If God is a utilitarian than why are good works worthless and only faith matters?

    Gaming website tells the internet misogynist horde to jog on.

    I don't see women as helpless, and I never said women feel better around men after an attempted rape, but I do recognize that men and women have different physical capabilities. Men are biologically designed to be more of a brawler than women, of course there is overlap, but in general men have...

    Gaming website tells the internet misogynist horde to jog on.

    So I've watched over an hour of Sarkeesian on youtube, and her analysis does seem rather out there. She keeps on saying she is looking at the big picture but all I see is a very narrow criticism. It's like she doesn't understand that we are a sexually dimorphic species, and as such women are...
