It's not like it would make any difference to the quality of the thread.
Only the admins can do that sort of thing. It's an idea none the less. It is keeping people entertained, that is for sure.
Why the discussion about deleting posts and splitting the thread?

Good point. We should split the most prolific posters and delete the thread.

Because my suggestion of slaughtering the inhabitants, burning the thread down and salting the ground it was made upon was rejected.

I do think there are some very good things about Christianity and that God is definitely there in church. That is probably true with all religions though, when people gather in the name of God. I do not think the Bible is the word of God, I think it has been tampered with by men, and no pure good God would send someone to hell for all eternity for what they did in just one life.
Pointless lies are pointless. You saw fit to threaten my nonexistent immortal soul and asked why I was taking a chance with my life, all in a direct invocation of christianity.
You are a bog standard jesus freak..with no noticeable education whatsoever, shitposting to no end, about how dicks and donuts prove meat fairies.

So next specific question:
Why is the path of the recurrent laryngeal nerve from the brain to the larynx not a straight path, but follows an unnecessarily long-winded path that can only be explained by large-scale evolution?
Everena: I read the findings about the whale and what they think it means. It's a straight up guess. My guess is just as good.
That's funny you brought up laryngeal nerve
The old argument used to be- Why do we have an appendix? Now we know the appendix stores good bacteria and repopulates the digestive system after an illness in order to keep us healthy.
As for the recurrent laryngeal nerve, I'm sure we will discover that there is actually a good reason for the path it takes at some point in the future. There are of course already numerous papers from doctors on the web explaining why the design is actually better. Here's an article discussing both sides of this argument https://evolutionnews.org/2010/10/the_re...al_nerve_/

That’s a good one.

Too bad elephant souls are of far more value to the designer gods than human baby souls.
This supposed "designer" apparently actually knew how to prevent cancer, but chose to "code" it only in elephants, and left the babies to suffer.
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/08/elephants-rarely-get-cancer-thanks-zombie-gene
"According to a study published yesterday in Cell Reports, researchers discovered that elephants have extra copies of two cancer-fighting genes: P53, which hunts for cells with miscopied DNA, and LIF6, which obliterates the mutated cells before they can form a tumor"
