    The Four Dirty Secrets Against Darwin Evolution

    Yes. No. Your example is like saying "Where cow is A (milk producing) and lizard is ¬A (not milk producing)." One thing may have a property and another thing might not. A more accurate statement might be: If you believe science is true (and it rejects miracles) AND you believe religion is...

    The Four Dirty Secrets Against Darwin Evolution

    My daughter watched a video by Forrest Valkai (really good science educator) who said exactly (at least as relayed to me) your second sentence.

    Does theism lead to immoral behaviour?

    I think people worshiping a god brings public dissent. Ergo, you should be silent. No?

    Can God Defy Logic?

    I don't believe in gods. So there's that. But let's play. First, your final sentence says "Does this mean the existence of a God cannot be logically explained?" No. It means potentially that an omnipotent god cannot be logically explained. But, you were careful in your other sentences, so we'll...

    Satanic Dishonesty

    Well, actually ... Genesis 20:12 - Abraham, Sarah, and Abimelech

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    Things never happen to you that you didn't choose? Sure, you can choose to do something on little information, but if there is a choice to understand, it is preferable. Fundamentally, things like spirits and souls and gods are different. I can draw a direct correlation between the light switch...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    No, it comes after experience.

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    When one has experience with something, one begins to understand one's experience. When one has lots of experience with a thing, one begins to understand that thing. Given that every time I flip a light switch the light comes on, I understand that the light will come on when I flip the switch...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    If I don't understand something, I don't understand it. That's precisely why to not trust it. Trusting what you don't understand is flat out dangerous. But I never have an intuition that that which I don't understand is right. As for embracing life, on average, I find it trivially easy. When...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    Why should one trust what one doesn't understand? Seems like a bad idea.

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    No, he's not. (Well, that was easy.)

    Do atheists believe in the distinction between Good and Evil?

    Good and evil are contextual notions. Too, they are individual and relative notions. A knife cut by a criminal is evil; a knife cut by a surgeon is good. That most humans agree on most things is a function of humans evolving as a social species which, by definition, we cooperate and form...

    Does theism lead to immoral behaviour?

    Of course this works. But what always bemuses me is who when sent to measure the circumference of a large cylindrical object (larger than those sent can collectively reach around) measures the inside of the object. Imagine holding a tape measure to the inside of a tube that's 50 feet around...

    Poll: The best argument against God, capital G.

    What do you mean "against God"? Against its existence, or against the worship of this hypothetical being?
