    Homosexuality and Promiscuity.

    I'm just wondering about what the anti-homosexual crowd thinks about the assertion that gay men are as a whole, more promiscuous not because they are gay men but because they are gay men. Straight men would, be they can't, because straight women wont. It's not that being gay makes you more...

    cdesign proponentists

    During the Kitsmiller v Dover school board trial wherein the parents of several children of a Dover public school sued to prevent a statement about ID being read in science class, all drafts of the lead ID textbook "Of Panda's and People" were subpoenaed. What was found that until 1987, when it...

    In order to believe Micro but not Macro evolution, you must...

    Point to the process that stops micro evolution and show evidence for it's existence. All Macro-evolution consists of is micro-evolution plus time and many generations, so in order to believe that Macro-evolution does not occur, there must be some sort of process that contains micro-evolution...

    My first online debate with a Creationist/ID proponent outside this forum

    I didn't expect this issue to be raised much outside this particular forum, but on another forum I frequent it came up, here is the thread and if possible I would like you honest opinion on how I'm doing so far. It's a semi-private and smaller forum, so please don't register there and add to the...

    If you need God for Morality, why are Atheists so underrepresented in prison pop.?

    With figures of 8-16 % of the populatipon being Atheists it would seem that they are under represented at 0.209 % of the prison population. Doesn't this prove that one need not believe in God in order to, you know, NOT do the things that society has deemed immoral enough to codify as law? I know...

    Forcing belief down another's throat.

    A common shout heard from the battlements of the pro-life and anti-gay movements are that secular liberals are somehow trying to shove their beliefs and practices down the throats of good honest Americans. This is completely ridiculous. Feel free to think Abortion is wrong, but until legislation...

    Isn't trying to legislate morality supremely unChristian?

    My parents are devout Christians (and wonderful people, if every Christian in the world was like them there would be alot less suffering) and they explained to me why they do no think the bible, Christianity, or their own personal idea about morality should ever be used as a basis for...

    "Oh you wont except my evidence so I'm not going to present it"

    Stop that, stop that right now. Inevitably it seems on this forum any exchange between Evolution supporter and Creationist/ID Proponent eventually boils down to the Evolution supporter begging the Creationist/ID Proponent for whatever evidence they possess then the latter simply waving him off...

    Why ID is logically incoherant.

    Lets ignore all connections to creationism for a second, as one need not invoke them to dismiss ID. At it's core the concept of Intelligent Design is three logical fallacies rolled into one. Logical Fallacy number 1: Appeal to Incredulity It's core is the idea of irreducible complexity, which...

    I don't care if you think abortion is wrong.

    A 16 year old girl is unexpectedly pregnant. She, her boyfried, her parents and her doctor have spent many agonizing hours in careful discussion of all the options, and decide on abortion, suddenly the phone rings. Caller: Hi, I'm the Christian Right! Just calling to let you know you can't...

    Creationists, Evolution is not unquestionable...

    It's just that your questions suck. Creationists love to claim that Evolution is Dogma, and that anyone who questions it is immediately shut down. This isn't true, I don't know what it's going to take to make Creationists understand that it's not that we are dogmatically opposed to any argument...

    Come on Evolution supporters, you're better then this.

    Recently a change seems to have come over this board, I admit I am not the most active poster, but I have been trolling this forum for some time and have noticed a certain complacency among the supporters of Evolution and degradation of their behavior. Once, when someone posted a PRATT, the...

    Of course life can come from non-life.

    Often raised against evolution is the concept that life cannot come from non-life. Now lets set aside the fact that this has nothing at all to do with biological evolution, which is the discussion of changes in existing life. Do creationists not realize that that in order to be a creationist...

    Why do YECists have such a low opinion of God?

    Think about it, in order to maintain the belief that the earth was created 6000 years ago, you MUST believe that God is a deceiver. That God would give humanity an imperfect and flawed ability to reason, set up all the physical evidence so that it is contrary to reality and then punish Mankind...

    Evolutionists are scientists.

    I dont know if this is a recent trend or has been going on for some time on this board but I notice rather then using the correct term "scientists" the anti-evolution crowd has been referring to their ideological opponents as simply "Evolutionists". Correct me if I'm wrong but this seems like a...

    Is it ethical to accept Salvation?

    If the Christians are right and the only way to avoid eternal damnation is to accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior, then presumably there are billions of souls currently roasting eternally in hell. The crime for which they earned such a harsh sentence is failing to accept Jesus Christ as...

    Do you agree with this quote from Waking Life?

    The difference between Plato or Neitzsche and the average human being is greater then the difference between the average human being and a chimpanzee. Thoughts? I'm inclined to agree. Can a human who doesn't ask or care about the great questions of life really that sentient?
