    Impeachment for Trump

    So you're talking about the people in power being guilty of prior rights violations, and not Trump's civil rights per se?

    Impeachment for Trump

    If it's shown that there are sufficient constitutional grounds for impeachment, would this apply? As far as I know, it's unconstitutional to impose further limitations on candidacy - nothing about applying law to them post-election. Or am I unaware of something?

    Any spiritual purpose in suffering?

    Not innately. This really depends on whose definition of right and wrong you use. This is also dependent upon worldview. There isn't any concrete evidence that they would go anywhere, let alone somewhere more miserable. Not necessarily. This would presuppose that suffering has no intent or...

    Most Pompous Statement Contest

    Original: "I will build a great wall -- and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me --and I'll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words." Pompous: See 'Original'

    How could first big-bang explode?

    Anybody read Flatland? What if came from "inside" :astonished:

    Yay, we're having fun :)

    How could first big-bang explode?

    I'm assuming it was a fallacious statement made with me in mind since I'm the only one I've encountered with that label, likely because I disagreed with with a demonstrably incorrect definition - the rest idk lol.

    The Conspiracy of Science?

    Both design AND non-design are irrelevant to most who reject this statement I would assume. This is the watchmaker analogy, please read the other posts or provide evidence - I do not accept analogy as evidence. I have no clue, it appears to be a process that only works with biological...

    The Conspiracy of Science?

    I mentioned genetics to avoid the strawman about Darwin - and yet here it is. Natural selection deals with adaptation. I thought you were arguing evolution here, that middle paragraph is straying off of that topic. My argument still stands, "design" is irrelevant.
  11. The Enlightened One

    Newsflash: 'Trinity', etc, don't affect my faith. I'm just arguing ideas.

    When I was growing up, I had no idea what the trinity was. I never encountered it directly in my bible or in church. I grew up believing Jesus was the son of God born of a virgin birth. It wasn't until a family friend who was very involved with our church got angry at another family member...

    Women on 20s

    The title grabbed me. Keep Harriet Tubman – and all women – off the $20 bill - The Washington Post This one is kind of relevant to the bit about Rand. I was pretty surprised at the very beginning of the article, thrown off by the presentation, but by the end I could see the point. I still...

    The Conspiracy of Science?

    Darwin observed it, genetics verified it. Virologists every day test it in a way. How do you think they became proponents? Irrelevant, my dislike for acute angles has no impact on my geometry :)

    The Conspiracy of Science?

    They, like true homonyms, don't have to share the same meaning. They use it to differentiate between a scientific theory and hypothesis. The National Academy of Sciences: Theory: In science, a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws...

    Evolutionists, where, geographically, did man evolve?

    I'm not too familiar with either. The polycentric theory of social evolution is discussed by Herbert Spencer, and the polycentric theory of biological evolution by Franz Weidenreich. The one from Franz proposes a split from Homo erectus and possible interbreeding afterwards. Not sure if this...

    Evolutionists, where, geographically, did man evolve?

    Polycentric theory I meant in my prior post to say non out-of-africa, oops

    Proof That Quranic/Biblical Adam Did Not Exist

    There could have been many, it doesn't have to be just one - like if the conditions are right to create one, why not many? No single creature evolves or gives birth to an evolution, it's only an arbitrary(slightly) point in the populations lineage that we say "aha, new species". If we did, for...

    Evolutionists, where, geographically, did man evolve?

    This is the OOA theory, not what I'm talking about.

    Proof That Quranic/Biblical Adam Did Not Exist

    I like the metaphore. Like quantum mechanics, it reveals things that are completely against what one would regard as common sense - putting them into a seemingly new realm of understanding. "If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet." - Niels Bohr...

    Proof That Quranic/Biblical Adam Did Not Exist

    No problem. I apologize up front if my analysis happens to be incorrect - I too am unversed in the intricacies of the field and honestly felt like I was looking at gibberish when seeing the math and terminology in such a raw form.
