    Aristotle

    I recokon AV + Any thread = AV wins Because AV is already right in the beginning, while everyone else actually needs to prove something. (absolutely no sarcasm intended, this is me saying I support AV and endorse his message and way of delivering it)

    Creationists are told the flood is true and actually happened,

    What? Could your question be rephrased as: "Why don't creationists ask for evidence about a literal interpretation of the bible that is at odds with science?" Implying at the same time that the evidence could sway their view... lol Would it not be inconsistent, to ask for evidence about the...

    The most beautiful words from our religious texts.

    As far as religious texts go, someone pointed this one out to me a while ago, and I have yet to read a religious text that I consider to be more fitting as a text to inspire. 3. Children of Earth! rejoice! rejoice exceedingly; for your salvation is at hand. 4. The end of sorrow is come; I...

    Ask the (novice) Shaman

    A question springs to mind, which I have debated for a long time with a few friends who were interested in similar pursuits, to no resolution, perhaps by going into shamanism you may have found a resolution. When you induce altered states of consciousness by drumming, dancing, sensory overload...

    Is Free Energy A Possibility

    You see that is the foolish part. If during a lecture on this subject I stood up and asked, is it not at least possible that Batman could have created the first cell? I would get laughed out of the room. A mechanism needs to be proposed for how the first cell came about, conditions of the...

    Ask the (novice) Shaman

    No way, Im guessing shaman from old native american stories and from similar tribes?? I always thought this was oral tradition and so wouldn't survive into nowadays, could you please elaborate on what exactly a shaman is, what a shaman does, also whether any tradition survived to be intact...

    My Evolution Challenge

    After reading enough threads with AV in them, I must say, you sir are a brilliant comedian. I don't think many people on the internet have such dedication.

    2012: Whaddya Think

    I pan to lead a Freemen rebellion around 2012, with antimatter as spice, and surprise these mayan aliens with a nuclear holocaust as soon as they get anywhere near Mars's orbit.

    Speed of electrons in an atom

    Bah, there's an equation somewhere that works it out (drift velocity?) But I cant be bothered finding it, so searched your question in google: Just google the question yourself and find all the relevant answers Ninja edit: Look for "drift velocity" on wikipedia

    Why worry about global warming?

    Perfection is entirely subjective though, a painting would not be perfect to me if it could not be destroyed in a fire, and would not have to be up kept at a specific temperature/humidity. And so perfection could be stripped away, when someone finds a material that will make my painting...

    Quote By St Augustine

    Forgive me if this quote has been passed around before, the search function on the website doesn't work for me for some reason. I was wondering what people thought about this quote by St Augustine relating to scripture and interpretation of it. It is from De Genesi ad literam AD 408

    Ultimate argument to Atheist?

    For now (the next 100 years) I would like to see a goal of providing enough food, water, medicine, education, a home, electricity for every human being, along with establishing renewable energy sources, fusion power, and a permanent foothold in space.

    What does philosophy do?

    If I read that in the morning paper, I would ask how dare he possibly think he can tell me how to lead my life, same goes for philosophers, priests and politicians, actually that holds true for every other human being.

    The death penalty

    Nah I am very sure we can do better than the death penalty as the ultimate punishment, there must be at least a few exotic forms of torture that are worse than death. Surely then it must be possible to commit a crime that would warrant such torture

    what is the difference in casting a spell and putting a curse on someone

    A heavy bunt object will have more success than anything in your first 2 questions. Your second two questions are too general, different scenarios will yield different answers to them
