I wonder if that guy is active on internet message boards?

The title of the graphic is "The evolution of animals". Edit: Ninja'd.

I think that what he's trying to say is that eyes evolved twice (at least). Think about it. This is actually a very good point in favour of evolution: if we were designed or created, why WOULD we have different eyes? When it comes to evolution, the answer is simple: our ancestors are not...

As some have said, see a doctor. Depression is an illness like any other and is often treatable once the cause has been found. When the cause is not something obvious such as economical trouble or stress at work or something like that, it's often something physically wrong in the brain which...

There aren't enough jokes about atheists in this thread! Let's try to change that. One day a Pastor, a Vicar and an Atheist go on a fishing trip together. They are in the boat and the Pastor says," Oh! No! I left the paddles on shore!" So he proceeds to get out of the boat and walk on the water...

Actually, removing the testes will remove the sex drive. It's all about the hormones. I can't say I'm for mutilating people though, criminals though they may be. Forced castration is akin to lopping off the hands of thieves, in my opinion. Prison and/or the psych ward, depending on the details...

Fence net stockings is the legwear of choice for the good and the righteous! Burn the heretical sockites!

Sounds like a plan. In my experience, experimenting with a subject and asking questions to someone with a Ph.d. in said subject is a very good way to learn (and sometimes to open up opportunities for future careers).

It depends on which set theory you are talking about, but the most widely used is Zermelo-Fränkel set theory. It states that for any proper set, all subsets of that set are definable using regular first-order logic. It is impossible to define subsets of the proposed set A you describe in your OP...

My "take" is that the paradox relies on an old, flawed definition of set theory. It is no longer valid, because set theory requires that A be a proper set, a definition it does not meet.

Government, definitely. At least my government; it has a pretty good track record. I'm guessing this goes for most countries with a functioning democratic system where the government isn't corrupt or heavily influenced by lobbyism - in areas where that's the case, there really isn't any...

You completely failed to address my point. Read my post again, and reply with a statement that actually addresses the content of my post.

Darn timestamps.

Let me tell you a little hypothetical story. I assume you've read the book of Job. Now, what if, after having lost the bet, the devil pondered and pondered and then came up with an idea and challenged god to another bet: "I believe I can make LittleNipper turn his back on your creation, twist...

[/COLOR] Some examples would be the rocket launchers AT-4 and the M3 MAAWS (both Swedish). Famous imported squad infantry weapons include the M249 SAW and the M240 (both Belgian). Sidearms include the M9, the M11 and the Mk 23, among others, and you get your SMG's from Germany in the form of the...

Whoever claimed that evolution was synonomous with nature? You're presenting a strawman.[/FONT] I think you need to rethink that statement. Begin by considering why a triangle has three sides. [/FONT] Math is just a tool made by man to describe, among other things, reality. But what does that...

Cells were not the first replicators; they are far too advanced for that. But to address your point, the information - however you may meaningfully define that term - arises naturally from mutation and is refined by natural selection. Remember, "information" is not a physical unit. There is no...

Okay, the vulnerability is the issue. So you are saying it is fear of having their views challenged? Why? What point is there in having faith if you can't stand having it challenged, particularily when it's considered okay to challenge the positions of others? I mean, most people on both sides...

This ties in to something I was thinking about the other day. I usually don't post here, because I'm not a theist, but I lurk. When TE's or atheists post in the creationist subforum, they usually get told in no uncertain term that they aren't welcome. When creationists post in the TE subforum...

Allright, how about this: some evidence I posted somewhere else for common descent. Does this qualify? (Anyone spotting mistakes in this post are more than welcome to help me correct them) Warning: monster post incoming. But DO NOT CLAIM THAT THERE IS NO EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION OR COMMON...
