Evolution Debate

Quotes from famous freethinkers

How many people created wasp's nests? Who's making false analogiesJust because you are ignorant doesn't mean that the rest of the world bends to your ignorance. Domestication is not a matter of will. It's a matter of the innate properties of the species. Pack animals (dogs, horses, goats, cattle, sheep, etc) can be domesticated because they accept a "leader" which they will follow. Your clever Europeans have had just as much time and access to deer as they have wolves. They have domesticated dogs, they don't have any domesticated deer. Are they just too stupid and lazy? Further, your striking lack of geographic understanding can best be characterized as typical for someone from the middle of the country. Learn a little bit before you open your mouthThat's not domestication you moron. That's "taming" . You can't DOMESTICATE an individual. You domesticate a SPECIES. The offspring of your tree frog is going to behave EXACTLY LIKE the offspring of any other tree frog. The offspring of my Beagle is NOT going to behave like a timberwolf. Not that ANY of this is going to do ANYTHING to dissuade you of your racist upbringing. Enjoy Texas, we set it aside for the mentally retarded.  (Saturday Nov 14 | post #839)

Homeopathy

Of bedbugs, mites, and APIS MELLIFICA

There are 3971 studies listed in pubmed under "homeopathy ". You aren't aware of ANY of them? Seems like you aren't all that interested in checking out the work that's been done. Let's take a second and discuss the FACTS behind the "tenets and theory". Do you deny that the principle concept behind homeopathy is that taking none of something results in a cure of a particular ailment? If you do deny this, can you demonstrate mathematically how a single molecule of "remedy" can be present in a 30c dilution?  (Nov 12, 2009 | post #8)

Homeopathy

In Defense of Homeopathy [denialism blog]

Homeopathy is 16th century sympathetic magic. For a homeopathic solution to contain one molecule of the original medicinal substance if would have to be held in a container 30 billion times the size of the Earth. If you inject 0 molecules of something, what effect does it have on your body?  (Nov 12, 2009 | post #8)

Homeopathy

Homeopathy as an aid to conventional medicine

Actually, I'm a screenwriter and an archaeologist. I don't care if pharm companies make money, lose money or break even. What I care about is the fact that con men like yourself are advocating magic as a cure all. I notice that you decided to try and attack me rather than supply proof to the contrary. Nice tactic. Let's try this again: Homeopathy is NOTHING BUT WATER. Care to offer evidence to the contrary?  (Nov 12, 2009 | post #20)

Evolution Debate

Quotes from famous freethinkers

This is false. First of all, ALL "tribes" have made advancements within their local areas. You may not recognize them as such, but things like an igloo aren't exactly popping up all by themselves. The chief limiting factor in scientific/militar y/population advancement is geography. Period. The people in Africa are no less technologically savy than the people in Europe. However, since Europe and Asia are oriented E-W instead of N-S, an invention in one part of Europe for, less say farming, is just as useful in another part of Europe which shares the same latitude and therefore the same basic crops. However, that same invention in Africa doesn't travel N or S, since the different latitudes require different technologies. As a result there is not an accumulation of invention. Each region has to invent, for itself, all it's items. Add to that the presence or lack of natural resources like iron, copper or wood. And the presence or lack of domesticatable animals - horses, pigs, goats, cows. It is literally impossible for even the smartest people to develop animal husbandry without a species of animal which is domesticatable. And, before you go off on "they could just domesticate something" understand that ALL animals which are capable of being domesticated have already been domesticated. There's a reason gazelles are domesticated - they can't be.  (Nov 9, 2009 | post #774)

Well, since nothing bigger than a cell could possibly have been alive during the most active meteor periods - we're not really concerned about how things were in that atmosphere. As for volcanoes - yes, when they erupt they add a lot of CO2 to the atmosphere. They ALSO add a LOT MORE particulate matter to the UPPER ATMOSPHERE which BLOCKS SUNLIGHT. Our CO2 emissions have NOT blocked sunlight - as such they contribute to WARMING and not COOLING. I'm actually fair tired of you "pro-pollutio n" idiots with your "There were periods 2,000,000 years ago when it was different." As if our society existed 2,000,000 years ago. Guess what. It didn't. The Earth COULD have 10x as much CO2 and it would still be in orbit around the Sun. The problem is that YOU and I and EVERYONE ELSE would be DEAD. I'm not concerned about how the climate was during the dinosaurs. I'm not concerned about how the climate will be for the cockroach kingdoms. I am ONLY concerned about changes to the climate which are going to effect the CURRENT ERA. As such, we need to curtail rampant emissions in order to prevent RADICAL change to our climate. And here's the kicker - EVERY THING SUGGESTED TO DO THIS IS BENEFICIAL TO ALL. If you cut back on CO2 from coal, you cut back on mercury poisoning. If you get more energy from the sun and the wind, you cut back on terrorism. If you make cars that get better gas millage, you free up income for people to spend elsewhere. But, no, you go right ahead and keep fighting for mercury poisoning, terrorism and poverty. You win.  (Feb 2, 2009 | post #735)

I know you check this page hourly to see if I've responded, but I've got a real life to attend to - so, if I don't respond for a couple of days you can assume I'm working. Was this post too long for you?  (Feb 2, 2009 | post #141)

Yawn. Sorry if our posting facts and evidence is such a burden on you. You go right ahead and keep making blanket statements like "CO2 is invisible therefore can't hurt us." LOL. You guys are so pathetic. Thank God you live in California where your opinion is such a minority it is completely unheard.  (Feb 2, 2009 | post #730)

Evolution Debate

Half of Britons prefer disbelieve evolution

Also remember that any time there is a poll, the important thing is the question asked. "Do you believe that you inherit your DNA from your parents?" "Do you believe that you are a clone of your mother/father, or do you have slightly different DNA?" "Can you count to 100?" "If you are slightly different than your parent and your parent is slightly different than their parent, etc. Are you MORE different from your grandparent than your parent is?" I bet these people who don't believe in evolution would answer ALL questions in support of evolution. They just can't put 2 and 2 together.  (Feb 1, 2009 | post #3)

So your complaint is the Dutch presented evidence with sources. LOL. No wonder you love Bush. You're much happier when someone makes a claim they CAN'T back up, then proceeds to put the whole country in an unwinnable, unaffordable war. Fantastic!  (Jan 30, 2009 | post #117)
