    What Drove the Evolution of the Human Brain?

    Following the social interaction line of reasoning... There is evidence suggesting that sexual selection played a part in the development of the human brain. Males with larger brains (and thus greater intelligence) likely had better social skills, so they would be more likely to interact with...

    egyptian symbolism has perfectly legitimate Christian parallels

    Some might say that, yes, parallelism detracts from the validity of the beliefs. Others, however, might use parallelism as proof that there is a god, that all of the religious do in fact worship the same god. Take dragons, for example. Almost every culture has some sort of dragon legend...

    egyptian symbolism has perfectly legitimate Christian parallels

    Well, actually commenting on the original topic of this thread... To say that Egyptian religious rites and symbols have parallels in Christianity (and that is a valid statement - Osiris was being worshipped long before the Jews were enslaved by Egyptians) is perfectly legitimate, especially...

    Desist!

    Quit nitpicking, that was just an example of my fingers moving at a different rate than my brain. There's a difference between calling somebody out and going through forums typing "Christianity is evil! Islam is evil" with no sound reasoning. I'm not here to start fights, but I'll debate in a...

    Desist!

    The prejudism you find against atheists is also true of religious people. There are many Christians who receive unjust prejudice based on the actions of other Christians, and so on and so forth regarding other religions. Too many people, religious or otherwise, feel that they know...

    The Religious Case Against Belief

    Thank you ContentiusMaximus, that was the point I was trying to make. Should have been a bit more clear.

    Hadron Collider

    LMAO good one logician. Personally, so far as the Hadron Collider goes... I figured the risk is well worth the potential in gained knowledge. Besides, the possibility of something going catastrophically wrong is very slim. There's also a possibility of myself spontaneously combusting...

    Discrimination Against Atheists?

    For me, personally, I haven't received a lot of discrimination, other than I have friends who think I say I'm atheistic to get attention or be a **** disturber. Who cannot conceive of the concept of not believing in the divine. Otherwise, though, I do live in fear of such discrimination from...

    Hello all!

    Just wanted to introduce myself to all those in the forum. I was baptised and raised Catholic, but over the years I began to question my beliefs. I have since given up my faith, and consider myself an agnostic atheist. The agnostic is because I admit that there is a possibility of a god or...

    The Religious Case Against Belief

    If I cared to be religious, that is a religion I would subscribe to. Acceptance of new ideas and new experiences...that kind of openness, as noted in the sermon, isn't even present in science. Scientists can be just as set in theories that have already been published, that they won't accept...
