Health Care is something that I'm on the fence about. Although I am not for any government instituted systems, I do think that health care offers something that many people need. Because I value a lot of people, I would want them to be able to remain healthy so I can continue in my business or...

What is the deal with Darwin's Armpit Farts? How does evolution explain something so hilariously funny? Are some people selected to reproduce the ability to make more realistic armpit farts?

Just been thinking about this for awhile, and I do not think agnosticism should be bandied about as if it's some kind of theological position on belief. Consider the definition of agnosticism: As summarized from wikipedia, "Agnosticism is the belief that the truth or falsity of claims...

I recognize that this is a Christian Forum and, inevitably God and Jesus and Scripture will be thrown around. That's not the problem, just to get that out of the way first. The problem is the absolute lack of any intellectual discussion of late (with exception to Amora's thread)...

I find the argument that we don't know if the rates of decay have stayed the same a little interesting. The first problem with making this claim is that the people who show this provide no reasons to think that the rates of decay have changed. There's no studies, no experiments...nothing...

If you consider abortion to be murder, then please answer this question. If a pregnant woman is involved in a car crash which she caused (say due to speeding) and consequently miscarries, has she committed manslaughter? *edit to change example.

Creationist says: "dere was a global flood!!!" I say: "well...how is that possible, all that water mixing? Earth is a delicate ecosystem...some fish can only survive in salt water and some fish can only survive in fresh water. Coral, if the temp changes, will die." Creationist says: "well look...

Irreducible Complexity is a fallacious argument, as it relies on specific definitions in order for something to be IC. Specific Definitions would also include a set function for the defined object. Such as a chair: A chair has a specific definition, and a specific function. A chair is...

Anyone have a link to it?

the US is one of the fattest countries in the world. Gluttony, while not considered an abomination, surely should be considered something sinful. Why aren't those of you who are against gay rights (on the idea that it is sinful), are not against gluttony? It seems kind of odd and...

ok, so this is for the creationists out there. Do you think that intelligence (in the form of life - animals such as humans and other primates) could only have come from an intelligent designer? If so, why? Do you think that complexity could only come from an intelligent designer? If so, why?

http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v22/i3/ligers_wolphins.asp In this article, they talk about wholphins. That is, whale-dolphin hybrids. But...interestingly enough, it was a false killer whale, and a bottlenosed dolphin that made the hybrid. A false killer whale, as I found in...

Why is it when Creationists are trying to debunk evolution, that they cite somebody who died at least 150 years ago? "Some Mayan dude from thousands of years ago said that there is no evidence for evolution, it must be false!!" Why not take a look at what advancements have been done, the...

I was thinking about this in the shower today. ID proposes - we see design in everything in the universe. These designs are so complex that they must have been made intelligently. This argument is a proof for Gods existence. Their statement: If God exists, then we should see design in...

I believe strongly that radiometric dating is true. I can prove it to you all. You see, when the earth was created, little pixies all gathered around it and instead of making the earth last forever, they decided that it would slowly decay like everything else. The reason for this is because...

I wanted you guys to have the chance to pose your questions to atheists about anything you want. Ask away and I'm sure I, or any other resident atheist will be glad to respond! Don't be afraid, we only bite if you're a tasty baby.....mwahahahaha Anyway, on with the questions!!

Let's assume the flood story is true. Were whales on the ark? Dolphins??

I've had a serious problem with Christian morality lately. The problem isn't physical, it's mental. I try and figure this out, I meditate on it, and debate on threads as well. I haven't posted my grievance here yet and I am doing so now. I would like to try and resolve this problem...

Creationism, we all know and love this entertaining pseudo-scientific religion which off-shoots from fundamentalist Christian doctrine. At best, it's arguments are outdated, and fail to attack any of the new knowledge we have uncovered concerning evolution. At worst, it seeks to attack...

were mushrooms on the ark?
