Is there a why question here? I'm more interested in the "how" and until that is well evidenced "I don't know" is the honest answer.

That's not true, a claim without evidence is just...well...a claim. I could say I think an all powerful, eternal K9 called Fido was that cause with equal evidence behind the claim. Actually not quite equal because we know that K9s exist.

Explain how this is unscientific please? This strikes me as ,"It doesn't mesh with my personal ideas about how sexuality works so must be wrong."

Interestingly, if you take any Divine will out of the equation it makes sense. Nature is just indifferent so sentience or level of intelligence makes little difference unless it contributes to selection pressure.

The OP mentions nothing about biblical morality. Also, what is biblical morality? It can't be about keeping all the commandments along with the associated punishments laid out in the Old testament, at least I hope not. We don't stone people for picking up sticks on the Sabbath or for wearing...

I'm still yet to see a valid argument that there has indeed been a fall of morals, I'm seeing people trying to explain something that doesn't exist. Unless I've missed it? Again, consistent reduction in violent crime, teenage pregnancy, moving closer to equality for all etc. I still don't buy...

As a non-US citizen, I'm curious as to what you think Trump has done for the US. Top 3 would work please?

That really is a shame you feel that way. For me being an Atheist means completely the opposite. I feel incredibly lucky to even be alive. To be the product of an ancient line of successful ancestry is mind blowing. As life is finite, why not make the absolute best of it? I place the value...

Nice try. The actual definition of an Atheism, someone who doesn't believe in god or gods therefore cannot be a strawman argument.

See this is one of the problems I always run into, the strawman erected around what an Atheist is. An Atheist has simply rejected the claim that god or god exist. So no, there are not atheists who believe a god exists... Most atheists I know have a world view based on secular humanism, a...

But there is no evidence to date of a soul, or do you have something to present? Surely the right approach is to follow where the evidence leads and not believe something until there is sufficient evidence to justify that belief. Otherwise we have to accept all claims equally right? I can say...

Spot on :-)

I don't understand the relevance of your response, care to expand, or maybe provide any evidence to support your claims.

Seems I've not conveyed my intention very well there. Those statements were in response to a claim that Jesus will come and destroy not just the Earth but the Universe which begs silly questions like I proposed.

Pretty sure the Earth did just fine before there were Homo Sapiens and will be fine long after. Of course until the Sun swells into a Red Giant swallowing the Earth along with all the other inner rocky planets. As an aside, what a delightful deity you propose, not just the Earth but the whole...

Still mere claims, in the words of the much missed Christopher Hitchens, "That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence."

Again, what? No and Nope, I don't "like" or in fact believe either assertion. My conspiracy nonsense spider senses are tingling.

Interesting claim, what makes you think there has been a freefall of morality? I'm currently reading, "The Better Angels of Our Nature" by Steven Pinker and evidence points to this being the least violent, least oppressive time in human history.

What? Have you fashioned a tin foil hat yet?

I'll bite...explain "Chinese medicine" and what place do you think it has in Healthcare?
