    What "if" you are wrong

    What is the standard by which you judge the bible teachings as "good"?

    Scientists say...

    Why? That's quite a claim. It requires some explanation.

    Scientists say...

    Yes, that is the kind of "common sense" that ancient humans used also to come up with their many many many creation myths. Not sure why you consider such to be particularly impressive.

    Are atheists arrogant? immoral? angry?

    Nice try, but no cigare. The motivation here, once again, is not mere non-belief in god claims. It is whatever reasoing underpins the belief that religion must be eradicated and / or that people shouldn't have freedom of beliefs. The difference is that there is a direct link between a...

    Are atheists arrogant? immoral? angry?

    It sounds to me that these killings are rather in the name of that state ideology......................... Truth matters. Atheism wasn't their motivation. That "state ideology" was. I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is that the "anti-religious" stance comes forward not from there mere...

    Are atheists arrogant? immoral? angry?

    Missing the point on purpose? No, it's not. There is no logical pathway from "I don't believe in a god" to "therefor let's go kill a bunch of people". No. They wanted a nation where they were the gods. Where the "state" or the despot was the highest authority. If subjects were going to...

    Abiogenesis

    You indeed could use a break. Use it to read up a bit. Planetary formation theories are very testable.

    Are atheists arrogant? immoral? angry?

    Neither killed "because of their anti-religious stance". If that was their motivation in your opinion, then you have a serious gap in your understanding of these people and their communist / authoritarian societies.

    Are atheists arrogant? immoral? angry?

    And Stalin and Hitler both had mustaches also. The difference is that neither Stalin nor Mao killed anyone "in the name of not believing in a theistic god".

    Definitions and species (hmmm...)

    And, chances are that they are. This is exactly the point: random, with respect to fitness. As explained already: when we say mutations are random, we mean with respect to fitness. We don't, necessarily, mean that in terms of when what type of mutation occurs. We're rather talking about the...

    Definitions and species (hmmm...)

    And even if there is, that doesn't take away the heart of the confusion here... In context of evolution, when we say mutation is random, we mean random with respect to fitness. If a certain environmental factor (for example, the presence of a specific material or radiation) would literally...

    Definitions and species (hmmm...)

    Again: random with respect to fitness.

    Definitions and species (hmmm...)

    Correct. However, his theory did predict that such a system of inheritability had to exist. Darwin, and his peers, did not know how variation was passed on to off spring. They knew it happened (as evidenced in every argricultural / breeding program, which is why there is so much money in...

    Definitions and species (hmmm...)

    They are random with respect to fitness. That's what the line mutations do not “try” to supply what the organism “needs.” means.

    Definitions and species (hmmm...)

    Bolding mine. You know what I'm going to say, don't you? I've only pointed it out a gazillion times already. Yet here we are again, with you repeating that rookie mistake. Again. Or... so the evidence shows. Which is why the experts say it.

    What if a Friend Made a Joke You Found Racist, Sexist, Homophobic, Disrespectful of Your Religion, etc.?

    You will be hard pressed to find any topic that you could get met to agree that it's "wrong" to make jokes about tbh. Off course, there is a time and a place for these things. For example, it wouldn't be appropriate to start making jokes about gay people at the funeral of a gay person who was...

    What if a Friend Made a Joke You Found Racist, Sexist, Homophobic, Disrespectful of Your Religion, etc.?

    I wouldn't say "favorite", but I laughed when I was told these the first time: "Why does a german shower have 11 holes?" "Because a jew has only 10 fingers" "What is the most popular kids show in the Middle East?" "Dora the Exploder" And here's one about both, so that nobody feels left out...

    Are atheists arrogant? immoral? angry?

    ...to replace it with their "state religion" of communism / facism. Let's not pretend as if "atheism" was the driving factor there.
