Eventually, the choice will be those alternative power sources, or sitting in the dark.
The point I made was that you want to argue "against" things rather than "for" things. In other words, arguing from the position of a "negative approach".
Rampant disease, child mortality, bad teeth that could poison you, bad food and a thousand other things our modern technology has helped us survive.I'm beginning to think that sitting in the dark might not be such a bad idea, if it restores some of the ancient practices which benefited us as a species. i.e. family activities such as non-computer related games, the absence of the idiot box, the return of reading books by candlelight, warm fires, warm faces and lots of goodly warm beer and wine.

That's the trouble with hindsight we only ever see the good things never the bad, if Americans really looked into life for early Americans it was horrific to say the least,
in the cities it was rat, flea and lice infested with the bonus of contaminated water, in the country it was exactly the same only with possible starvation thrown in.
That's only because of religion, ignorance and greed.(laughs) I was pretty sure that someone was bound to respond with how hard it was for the early pioneers, yet whenever there was load shedding in my old hometown -- quite a regular happening now days -- we'd light the candles, serve up the evening meal (courtesy of all those things we take for granted in our lives) -- it was also a time for all of us to gather together away from our respective computer screens and communicate old school. For what it's worth and keeping in mind the horrors of how it used to be for those early America pioneers (I'm not America, but I've seen enough movies and documentaries to know that it was hard) we may have dealt with the rats, fleas, lice and drink purified water seven times over and dealt with poverty for most -- but don't forget that a large part of our modern world is still living as if nothing has changed!
That's only because of religion, ignorance and greed.
They all originated in darkness and thrive while darkness persists, shine the bright light of democratic socialism on them and they will all wither and die,These three devils have a father -- but what has your wisdom taught you about their origin?
That's only because of religion, ignorance and greed.
They all originated in darkness and thrive while darkness persists, shine the bright light of democratic socialism on them and they will all wither and die,
hopefully the US of A will be the next to feel the benefit of that bright light.
Could you please point out a religion that is not worthless?Well seeing as you brought up the subject of religion, it's my understanding that there is such a thing as worthless religion.

I see so you don't know of one, I thought not, you could have said 'all the others' but you knew that would be a lie.As a friend once said, 'It's an inside job' A religion of worth begins with dethroning the imposters in our lives and learning to follow what another writer once described as 'the road less traveled'
It's more of a principle of life than a brand name, though if you wanted me to name it -- I'd say it's all about those brave people mentioned in Kris Kristofferson's song 'They Killed Him'
'I see so you don't know of one, ....'
The you must be talking about Allāh the monotheistic god of the Abrahamic religion articulated by the Qur'an, the god with the most confirmed believers.You're getting warmer.
The operative word is 'one'.

Debating isn't about 'clever words' though 'debating skills' can certainly help a well-informed scientist to present their ideas powerfully in what has become a very public forum. It's especially the case now that information is so freely available to so many. A well informed scientist with 'the gift of the gab' is certainly going to have a greater influence on such a colossal forum (world wide web). I can think of more than one or two scientists who have suffered as a result of being unable to articulate their science -- though some certainly make up for it in books.
Scientists need to evaluate science.
And they do, through peer review and by reproducing results. In the end, that is what counts. Results. Not debate skills.
In science, you make your case in a paper.
Some do both. i.e., Richard Dawkins. Finis.
There is no such thing as a religion which is not worthless. all religions are worthless until they have been show to be true, if they have not been shown to be true they have no more worth than the religion of Samoan Idol worship or the cult of the FSM, belief in something is not proof of something, something does not become true just because you want it to be true, believe me I wish it did.I am referring to unity and there is that among those who practice a religion which is not worthless.
