More like total manipulative bullshit - If he'd been honest, it would be true but wholly irrelevant and stupid as it applied to a single month. Repres...
Sorry, what hasn't? This seems confused. Do you mean its rare to find people who hear other people's opinions and feelings, and read them as such? I c...
Hmm.. I am quite unsure this is the case. I think this is the caricature of the right/conservatism. But I also know, for sure, that supporting elites ...
By watching the series instead of the films! They don't represent with Anno wanted in the series overall https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/06/movies/eva...
You claimed there were no examples. I gave them. They are about 0.0001% of the plethora of evidence showing evolution by natural selection. The claim ...
1. I get you. 2. I have no idea whether this makes sense, let alone reflects reality. That is certainly not my experience of that type of person, alth...
Do you mean whoever is the best lawyer wins, regardless of truth? Cause there's no "might" in the law at all until you get activist judiciaries. You'v...
You could mean many different things here which would drastic change how to interpret and respond to this. Suffice to say I don't think that's true of...
Yes, sure. Good stuff. Yes, I think so. But suspect doesn't mean unreliable, I don't think. IT does mean liable to error, though I couldn't tell you w...
I've provided you with ample evidence of evolution. If you chosen path is to talk about grammar, in the face of my pointing out that typos exist, I ca...
fwiw, that divide happened here and there was not much of a way to tell who was on each side prior to it occurring. Our "left" cohort is divided fairl...
Butting in - thanks for your posts. I've not seen you about, so -- Hi! lol 1. I'm unsure what doesn't make sense about that? If God was real, and was ...
The former, as far as I'm concerned, without question. It is the child who refuses to accept their position is wrong because they want to hold on to i...
Certainly this bit is the issue for me. Outside of this forum (well, not quite, but as a matter of comparison to us) there's a fairly stark divide bet...
Are you not quite aware of typos? This is an absolutely ridiculous ad hominem. As noted i the quote you've used, no, it did not :) Status quo remains....
it is possible you have been duped. NGE was run through the 90s until old mate ran out of time and money (over three attempts to get it done!!). He ab...
The logic runs directly against this. You have not given anything that could remotely support the emergence of consciousness from elements which are t...
Hmm. In my view, you have not answered these questions. I have also responded, pointing this out, to each example you seem to think you have answered ...
Do you have trouble getting around the city? That would be an evolutionarily pertinent question. And the answer, as a species, is no. We don't. We've ...
We have several English words for this: conviction is one. Devotion, faith and deeply-held belief all do just fine for this concept, which I've been a...
This misunderstands evolution in many ways: We do not need to fly around cities. Pollution hasn't been a big issue for more than about 300 years. To d...
Butting in, but I think this misses a trick: children who say these sorts of things (and, indeed adults, but explication will make the distinction poi...
I am genuinely sorry if I was insufficiently clear, but this is exactly what I have explained in my response. I'm really sorry if anything sounds shor...
Sorry to double post, but editing in seemed weird as its going back to a different element of hte exchange: I think it's not so absurd to think there'...
It's been revealed he called the police on Epstein, barred him from Mar-A-Largo, no one has credibly accused him of anything untoward, your mate Camer...
I think this is more to do with avoiding using "true" at all, because a theory isn't a truth. Its a "best possibility", and the scientific method esse...
Yes, and I suggest your immediate dismissal of literally every objection to your points speaks to perhaps needing to reflect a little. This has absolu...
This is only half the case. THe first half seems to be true - but that's because we aren't God, not because we cannot adjudicate what the case is. Thi...
Hmm. I think perhaps you're misusing many of these words in service of an emotional position. A complex is a combination. The human brain literally co...
This is very much a "look over here!" response, I think. Not that it's entirely untrue or irrelevant but I was clearly talking about extant, happening...
But this assumes the conclusion - that the human mind is mere electrocchemistry. What I'm asking is how do you get there? You seem to be saying that t...
For sure - and I want to be damn clear I am not denying that it's happening, that its anthropocentric, or that we should be doing things about it. Jus...
This is what's called 'special pleading'. It might be helpful if you could tell us why, or what about, the human mind makes it so special that standar...
You are talking, in this entire post, about feelings and opinions. I have addressed that explicitly and carved it off from what we're talking about. T...
No, it really isn't. Forget hte brain for a second and focus on the structural claim being made: 400,000 non-mammals combining together wont make a ma...
Yes, and I fully grok that. The nuance is that it's based on religious commitment which is, imo, entirely defensible. If you come from a state which p...
