Wow.. Could someone else give their input here? Is this guy really ranting about despicable generalizations after he himself has written this:

Er...he didn't say that. He just failed to heed your post about quote tags. The original quote is here: (clicking the green arrow goes to the original post, but you probably already know that)

Fixed that for you Wink

That would explain a lot of things! Seems I have some more modding to do Big Grin
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Darkstar Wrote:The responses to your highly judgmental post were mostly negative, but why would you expect something different? You judged us all, and then people were rude to you. It was a Self-fulfilling prophecy. If you did not come here solely to agitate people, you could have better expressed that in your OP.

Before posting my first post I have made a survey about the behaviour of your community members by reading their posts on different topics. What I wrote in my first post was in the light of that survey. That was my first and immediate reaction and that’s all. I was thinking that some matured people like Richard Dawkins might tackle my question but instead you know what your members have posted.

I am not very good in using different interfaces so I would appreciate if you write few lines of instructions on how to reply. I see a Reply button beneath each response and that’s what I am pressing to reply

There you have it. Again.

If you had simply asked the question on its own, you may have gotten some groans (as it is very commonly asked), but not the responses you got. This thread is titled after the question you asked at the end of your OP, but considering the rest of the OP, your question appeared to be little more than an afterthought, rather than the point of the thread.

I've got two words for you: Conformation bias..

Quote:What I wrote in my first post was in the light of that survey. That was my first and immediate reaction and that’s all.

That's quote alright, but as Darkstar pointed out, trying to put yourself on a high horse was in no way whatsoever relevant to the question in your OP. Would you like to converse with me if I started with "I know you're a wife beating camel-fucker, but what kind of tea do you prefer?"?

Quote:I was thinking that some matured people like Richard Dawkins might tackle my question but instead you know what your members have posted.

If you want to talk to biologist, try a biology forum. We have some elderly on board (sorry guys! Big Grin), but e.g. plants and archaeology is more their topics.

RE: Nothingness
I just ignore your insults.

Richard Dawkins is a biologiest.

If you want a good answer from the physics stand point, Google Lawrence Krauss.
He can explain Quantum Fluctuation (Something from nothing).

You come off very arrogant, because you are a Muslim, and you believe you are right.

Now, fucking learn some Science and fucking those fairytale books!

How about "fuck, wank, bugger, shitting arsehead and hole!"?

And yay! You finally managed the quoting technique! \o/

Do you think that a learned and literate person would want to have a polite discussion with you after your opening salvo? If so, I'm of the opinion that either your judgement or social skills are defective.
