Godwin's law is something like "In any online debate involving religion, the science or atheism side will at some point be referred to as Nazis"

Arguing from emotion prooves nothing about the validity of scientific theory. Not liking a theory doesn't make it false and ignoring it doesn't make it go away.

I like this one too:


Benford's law of controversy, as established by science fiction author Gregory Benford in 1980Citation needed, states

Passion is inversely proportional to the amount of real information available.

The fact that we exist show's nothing of a God. That is an illogical leap.

That's too bad about Godwin's Law.

Most people don't have the kind of understanding to properly use such an analagy properly.

-----------------------Pop Quiz:---------------------

What 'scientific' idea did the Nazis use to justify their beleif in a Master Race?

<Buzzer Sound>

The answer was: Eugenics. A scientific priciple which was later debunked and replaced with a better one, just like Fascism.

...And now, on with the show...

Good to be appreciative. Remember it's not about you. Bad ideas should be shot down, even when presented by newbies.

Now that you know your first attempt was a no go, you know what pitfalls to avoid the next time you try.

And do try again. Even if you are never convinced of evolution, you will learn a lot about how to present a case for what you believe. Very handy for future reference.
