    Man sprouting from the ground...science or myth?

    What an asinine question. If you're supposing belief in an omnipotent God, that God can shape whatever matter into whatever form he wants.

    Should the Catholic Church Acknowledge the Destruction of Classical Pagan Culture?

    How is it a horrible practice? Modern missionary work is voluntary. It offers new forms of religious experience to cultures that otherwise wouldn't have them. Plus, it's almost never a replacement of the indigenous culture, but a new culture that's formed (due to syncretism).

    American Muslims Are Now More Accepting Of Homosexuality Than White Evangelicals

    What do you have against evangelicals?

    American Muslims Are Now More Accepting Of Homosexuality Than White Evangelicals

    You're comparing an entire religion to a specific, generally more strict group of another religion. A fairer comparison would be fundamentalist Muslims to evangelical Christians, or Muslims as a whole to Christians as a whole.

    Resolved: Health Care Is a Right

    The idea that something can be legislated as a "right," especially by as useless of an organization as the United Nations, is absurd. The UN are the same dip****s who think vacation time is a human right. There's no real precedent, no logic behind a person being entitled to medical treatment...

    Americans Don't Like Trump, but Don't Think Democrats Have a Real Agenda, either

    I don't know, maybe the Antifas running around raising mayhem, maybe the previous administrations that legislated basically anything they wanted to, regardless of constitutionality. If you don't think the Left exists, then maybe you're so far Left you can't even look that direction.

    “I just choose to not listen”: why Trump supporters are tuning out the scandals

    Considering that the media is known to constantly lie and exaggerate, it's a bit understandable that some would check out. Just think of the reporting on the Ferguson shooting as a good example. For that matter, they ought to just criminalize lying in news reporting, and then start some...

    Americans Don't Like Trump, but Don't Think Democrats Have a Real Agenda, either

    That poll says jack ****. Slightly over half of the country dislikes him? No wonder, he didn't win the popular vote, obviously people who didn't vote for him in the first place don't like him. Then, it mentions the impeachment figures, but notes that most of the people who support that idea...

    There's Nothing like In-breeding to Make Your Genes Pure!

    Not necessarily more beautiful adults, though.

    Yes, Your Parents’ Status Does Influence Your Earning Power

    Those aren't hardly contradictory views. We know that higher status parents improve your starting position. We also know that individual effort yields rewards. So what's the point of the conversation?

    Meet the CEO Who Followed Ayn Rand

    Particular evidence? My observation has been that economies grow faster under laissez faire but are more unstable. So you have big upswings but also big dips. Wise regulation reduces growth but also reduces instability. Unwise regulation just causes destruction...

    Meet the CEO Who Followed Ayn Rand

    Been a while sense I read Ayn Rand (back when I was a teenager) but I generally liked her ideas. What do you view as being the problem with her concept of human nature?

    Transgender People Welcomed by The Church of England

    Nothing says "church" to me like "actively spurning the will of God."

    What religion should I follow based off my beliefs?

    ISKCON (Hare Krishnas) would probably be one of the most accessible forms of Hinduism for him.

    What religion should I follow based off my beliefs?

    It doesn't quite fit what you listed, but Mormonism has enough similarities that you might want to look into it. 1. Henotheism - Mormonism acknowledges the existence of many gods, but they're not worshiped because they're not relevant to life in our world. 2. All Objects - Living things all...

    Worried About Degree

    I can take most of the courses. At the minimum I need Calculus I, Calculus II, Calculus III, Introduction to Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations. I'm not sure how far I need to go, though. My main frustration is that I wanted to graduate in four years, and it's looking like that's...

    Worried About Degree

    Economics is one of the few fields in academia where it's easy to find a job. It's hard, few people try it, and there's reasonable demand, so economists tend to find the work they want (much of which is as professors), though they have way less control over where they live.

    Worried About Degree

    I'm about on the verge of a nervous breakdown over my major. I chose Economics because it was what I was good at and interested in at the time, and I chose my state's top engineering college because it was close and I got enough scholarships and discounts there to cover all my tuition. The...

    Egad! A Revolution in the Mormon Church. Can Starbucks and Thong Underwear be Far Behind?

    The logic makes sense but the implementation is rather radical. So you shouldn't be able to call your father on Father's Day, or a loved one on their birthday? I would also bring up examples like a relative being mortally ill or some sort of big, important news in the family, but I'd assume...
