This is a very very simplified view that does not understand the complexity of genetics. It's not "this code accounts for this trait, this code accoun...

I'm gonna need some more sources before I throw out what I've learned in college about biology. Sadly, a 2003 article on a farmers website that could ...
January 10, 2018 at 22:39
I was addressing the logic. DNA is made up of nucleotides. It is biochemistry which is just chemistry that is more directed towards biology. Chemical ...

I can't really speak to much about this because I don't know it very well. The reason relativity has to be applied to GPS is because the satellites ar...
January 10, 2018 at 22:03
I'm not an expert at this, but this is from what I've read from interest. Time is relative. An absolute time doesn't make sense to me. We could use Ea...
January 10, 2018 at 21:59
I disagree with this because DNA is the formula that directs biology. This can be seen at all levels of life: human, other mammals, reptiles, plants, ...
January 10, 2018 at 21:50
Here’s an application of relativity showing how time and space are connected, just in case you hadn’t come across this. I copied and pasted this from ...

Society can decide whatever they want to be morally right. The acts have to be similar by being consistent with the presupposed values that society ha...
January 10, 2018 at 18:42
The reason I was comparing flat and morally right is because flat is a word that describes a concept and unless you change the word, it will be true. ...
January 10, 2018 at 10:04
If you're saying it doesn't make sense to describe the universe as a whole as being determined or undetermined, it sounds like you aren't a determinis...
January 09, 2018 at 22:25
All this tells me is that as societies have become more sophisticated, they have as a whole come to value not killing. This could be because attitudes...
January 09, 2018 at 22:03
What is the reason for labeling this group of acts as morally right? Is the term morally right a label used for this group because it is a useful way ...
January 09, 2018 at 21:48
The reason I was comparing those two things is because people have been arguing that the killing is wrong as if it is objectively true yet that's what...
January 09, 2018 at 21:29
It’s pretty clear he’s not gonna answer my question because I think he and everyone else knows what will follow when he responds. At this point he is ...
January 09, 2018 at 10:34
Okay you win this argument via excessive use of misdirect and intellectual dishonesty. I am now converting to nonbeliefism. I hope everyone else sees ...
January 09, 2018 at 10:32
Another misdirect. I’ll ask this one more time. If you still refuse to clarify your position by ignoring my question then you’re being intellectually ...
January 09, 2018 at 10:25
That doesn’t answer my question. In case you forgot, here: If you see a chair in front of you and I asked you "Is there a chair in front of you?" what...
January 09, 2018 at 10:20
So then how do we decide if things are similar enough in to be in the group of morality? What do they even share in common that makes them similar?
January 09, 2018 at 10:17
The OP won’t answer my question :(
January 09, 2018 at 10:13
I like the points tou’ve made. I’m still a little unclear on your position. Are you saying that determinism requires something transcendental? and if ...
January 09, 2018 at 09:58
Back in the day it was morally acceptable to stone homosexuals. That behavior was not in the “in group” for what is morally wrong by definition of the...
January 09, 2018 at 09:44
Anyway until he answers my question and clarifies his position, we can’t become nonbeliefists since we don’t fully understand it.
January 09, 2018 at 09:37
reckless. chill lol
January 09, 2018 at 09:35
I'll rephrase it like this to make it more simple If you see a chair in front of you and I asked you "Is there a chair in front of you?" what would yo...
January 09, 2018 at 08:33
The difference here is the word morality still means the same thing in both cultures. It means what is right or wrong. So now we have to define those ...
January 09, 2018 at 08:30
Maybe, maybe not. We won't know till you answer right? So answer the question If you see a chair in front of you, would you make the statement there i...
January 09, 2018 at 08:23
If there are only 2 cultures that live separately in the world. One culture says it is wrong to needlessly kill and the other culture says it is moral...
January 09, 2018 at 08:21
That's irrelevant to the point I'm about to make. You are the king of misdirect. If you keep misdirecting then you'll be seen as someone who is intell...
January 09, 2018 at 08:15
Just answer the question and I will show you why it's relevant when you answer it. I'm doing this so you can clarify your position for me because I st...
January 09, 2018 at 08:12
I try my best
January 09, 2018 at 08:09
If it's so very irrelevant then the point a make after you answer the question will be easy to refute right? Or are you afraid I will prove that you h...
January 09, 2018 at 08:09
I've seen it. Now answer my question If you see a chair in front of you, would you make the statement there is a chair in front of me, or make the sta...
January 09, 2018 at 08:06
Okay so you acknowledge that if you accept a claim on evidence it is by definition a belief. Now hang on, before I read any of that, answer my questio...
January 09, 2018 at 08:03
I'm really close now.
January 09, 2018 at 07:51
I rephrased Okay I will demonstrate to you why you are still holding beliefs. A belief is accepting a claim that generally permits ignorance of eviden...
January 09, 2018 at 07:48
As you even admitted yourself, there is a difference between especially and necessarily. Therefore by definition accepting a claim off of scientific t...
January 09, 2018 at 07:38
Just watch lol
January 09, 2018 at 07:35
Okay I will demonstrate to you why you are still holding beliefs. A belief is accepting a claim. A belief is accepting a claim, and not exclusively th...
January 09, 2018 at 07:33
i have i swear. believe me
January 09, 2018 at 07:23
But all that means is that now you are saying that instead of accepting claims, we should only look at things as if more likely or less likely to be t...
January 09, 2018 at 07:11
I understand what you're saying. I'm just saying using the word nonbeliefism is misleading because the term makes it sound like you don't accept anyth...
January 09, 2018 at 06:57
The thing is, even if he shows that people generally ignore evidence it doesn't matter. A belief is still a belief regardless of whether it is one bas...
January 09, 2018 at 06:44
As I've mentioned many times it doesn't necessarily mean it's based off of nonscientific thinking. Especially is not the same thing as necessarily. Th...
January 09, 2018 at 06:42
Which definition? The first one? That says especially, not necessarily. So if you are accepting something to be true off of science thinking, it still...
January 09, 2018 at 06:38
Oh okay my bad I misunderstood lol. And it is a strange thing to think about. Your examples still seemed like they would be a type of subjective moral...
January 09, 2018 at 06:36
It's not that I disagree with your idea of nonbeliefism, it's that I just don't see the reason for throwing out a term like that. Nonbeliefism sounds ...
January 09, 2018 at 06:32
Yeah, but I'm not asserting that objective morality is impossible or that morality is subjective. If you read the OP completely, you would see that. I...
January 09, 2018 at 04:23
What reason do you have for thinking that this will you speak of is immaterial and not dependent on the physical brain, or that there is some sort of ...
January 09, 2018 at 04:14
For me specifically yes. You could have just said this from the start I don't disagree with this lol. However some people will argue that their values...
January 09, 2018 at 04:09
How is the will free from the chain of causation? What are you defining as the will?
