I can't believe I can't disbelieve! Guess it's over. We had a good run. Guess it's off to Sunday school and then hell in the end.

It was the Identical Unsameness thing, wasn't it?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

reactions to what?
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

Thanks, mod.... yeah you know who you are... I'm looking at you, mod!

Sorry, poca. You can always use your browser back button and copy your reply and post it to this thread instead. Probably too late for that now, though.

Can't let asshats keep opening new threads on the same topic when they've been told several times not to.

I understand... I tried the back button, but that was the reply page which was disabled, "for some reason"... Tongue
so I got nothing... Sad(

The Law of Parsimony or Economy is an immutable natural law that prevents any waste in nature.

Whenever anything is tending towards a waste, this law will naturally wade in to neutralize it, or convert it for a natural elemental recycling.

Any apparent waste is purposed to prevent an actual waste.

Show me any conceivable waste, and I will rationalze it from being so called.

And how does that destroy atheism?

A worse explanation of Ockham's Razor has never been seen.

It's fun to be a part of one of those ballooning threads for once!
How many pages will this one have by the time I wake up... I wonder...?

Here's a good example of waste.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them.
