noun
1. the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.
Since this definition states "and experiment", can you re-create the experiment of evolution? Simple answer is no you can't because you are a human. No human can re-create by experiment the evolution process.
I was already fully aware that more doctors are atheists then the doctors who believe in something like Ben Carson. Now how can Dr. Ben Carson have the same level education as you and learned the same things as you had to learn, but have two conflicting viewpoints?
I think you posted in the wrong thread, here, Blondie.
This is the "how do you claim Michelle Obama is a man when she's wearing a wedding dress and standing in front of a preacher who had to sign her marriage license, in Trinity Church in Illinois in 1992, when to marry a man was illegal until very recently?" thread.
This is the "how in the world can you claim President Obama is a Muslim when he has gone to a Christian Church all his adult life, has said repeatedly that he is a Christain, and the people who're making the claims about his 'real' religion are willing to stoop to misquoting him in obvious ways and manipulating photos?" thread.
The evolution thread is waiting for you, with a fresh couple of posts of mine, if you'd prefer to talk about that rather than right-wing conspiracy theories.
He's not a Muslim. He simply isn't hateful of them, because he lived some of his early childhood years in a country that was majority-Muslim, and knows they're not the way most Americans see them; in trying to educate Americans about it, they instead reacted with fear and derision, to our national shame.
Not that it should matter what faith he is or isn't, when it comes to leading a country that has an anti-establisment clause in its Constitution.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
