    No one should believe in evolution!

    I would agree that no one should accept a scientific theory by faith. But scientists and logically minded people don't usually accept evolution as a certainty. It's the best theory that exists for the diversity of life.

    Is the vestigial organ argument a vestige of poor science

    While there's some difference in definitions of 'vestigial', the word 'vestige' seems universally to mean something that has been reduced or has 'less' function than it used to. So it makes sense to extend that to 'vestigial'.

    Is the vestigial organ argument a vestige of poor science

    As I said before, vestigial means degenerate, not useless. So there are still vestigial organs.

    Nature is a planned system rather than a planner

    Perhaps, but even going crazy would be useful for animals. Gorillas, for example, have to dominate and fend off competition.

    Nature is a planned system rather than a planner

    Firstly, I don't believe people do 'at almost any price'. If, on occasion people are obsessive, it would be explained by inheriting sexual drive from ancestors, whose drive enabled the passing on of their genes. Whereas homosexuality among nature does not enable passing on of genes.

    Well, I suppose it is hard to imagine how nature created homosexuals, and all the homosexual activity among animals. I guess that one was God. (No offense meant to homosexuals):sunglasses:

    I've Sacrificed my belief in Evolution for Religion

    May I suggest that every time you have one of these 'logical' thoughts, repeat the words: Donald Trump, Donald Trump, and hit your head with some rhubarb. Why am I telling you this? God told me that he helps those who help themselves. So darn well help yourself!

    Is the vestigial organ argument a vestige of poor science

    Your confusing 'vestigial' with 'useless'. Vestigial in the biological sense means degenerate. The appendix is not much use in the average human.

    Is religious thinking something all people do?

    Very true, except that lots of people are still spiritual.

    The Rational Reason Why All Atheists are Murderers

    No doubt there are times when a rationalist will come to the conclusion that killing people is right. (Well, plenty of western politicians do, and Hitler did), but I'm sure a whole load more people through history have been killed due to irrational or religious thinking.

    Is religious thinking something all people do?

    Apart from the religions which have many gods, or those that have none (Budhism).

    Is religious thinking something all people do?

    For me, religion (not mine) has faith at it's core, and so is a system of beliefs which have no rational or scientific basis. By that definition, you don't have to be religious, though clearly most people of the world are. But if you question things, and refuse to fully accept things with...

    Is Faith/Religion needed to live -- my analysis of Jordan Peterson

    I don't deny he did it because he believed in God. How many millions of people do extraordinary things because of religious belief? That is sufficient. I don't know why you're telling me this. I haven't asked for proof. I keep asking for a speciic thing, but you won't give one. So I'll...

    Is Faith/Religion needed to live -- my analysis of Jordan Peterson

    Difficult or not, motive or not, it's possible. People can believe in extraordinary things. Therefore it's not evidence. Unless certain things can be independently verified, such as prophecies. But anyway, I don't know which bits you are calling evidence. You have to be specific. Just give...

    Is Faith/Religion needed to live -- my analysis of Jordan Peterson

    It's still unclear what the evidence is for God. Couldn't he have just made it all up?
