How about "Non-religious" welding, etc.Second time: What adjective would you use to distinguish "no God" from "God"?
Be it evolution, letter-writing, macrame, tool-and-die working, welding, whatever?
Gas Metal Arc WeldingLay welding
Temporal welding
Non-sectarian welding
Interfaith welding
So many unnecessary and awkward adjectives to choose from!
Gas Metal Arc Welding
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding
Shielded Metal Arc Welding
Flux Cored Arc Welding
English can be a drag, can't it?
OK, I wondered because you called it 'a prolix', although prolix is an adjective...Yes.
Prolix: marked by or using an excess of words.
As in preferring to say "atheistic evolution," instead of just "evolution."
I could say "evolution."
I could say "atheistic evolution."
I could say "atheistic natural evolution."
I could say "atheistic natural progressive evolution."
I could say "atheistic natural progressive biological evolution."
God bless freedom of speech.
OK, can do.Violating the Keep It Simple Stupid principle?
But if that's the case, I'd rather be considered "stupid" than "simple."
And again. Its not a question of whether or not I like it.IF ... you don't like the term "atheistic evolution," don't use it.
IF ... you do like the term "atheistic evolution," feel free to use it.
Better yet, just feel free to use whatever term you want to use, when you want to use it.
And I'll do the same.
Its not a contest.As silly as this one?
Is that a YES or a NO?Its not a contest.
Being as silly as possible, is NOT a goal to aspire to.
NeitherIs that a YES or a NO?
Use it and get the backlash.IF ... you don't like the term "atheistic evolution," don't use it.
IF ... you do like the term "atheistic evolution," feel free to use it.
I have a feeling only a handful arc & spark about it.Use it and get the backlash.
I have seen it used often enough and point out the error of it, just like Hans Blaster and essentialestes did.I have a feeling only a handful arc & spark about it.
If you knew you were about to hear someone say it, would you put your fingers in your ears?
"Error"?I have seen it used often enough and point out the error of it, just like Hans Blaster and essentialestes did.
Error was the most charitable qualification."Error"?
Funny.Error was the most charitable qualification.
"Willful malicious manipulation" comes probably closer.
Funny.
I was thinking about the same thing re distancing evolution from cosmic evolution.
Use it and get the backlash.
Well, I just used it.Oh, I forgot about this thing. It's one of your 59 minor obsessions.
