teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

If you were interested in actually knowing how evolution works and why, you'd read a book. Also, could you respond to the rest of my response to you or are you ignoring it because you don't have a rebuttal? Because of semantics over the word function? Thanks for proving the question was an insincere one.  RE: Conservatives have more self-control

Of option three say you don't know what your talking about . Because it's a fact you don't . You fuck up in every evolution thread . And it's not our responsibility to fix your fuck ups . It's yours to know what the fuck your talking about before typing moron.
Oh and declaring someone does not know something over minor dispute on words . Yeah way to show what a lightweight you are Beta.

To be clear: My knowledge on evolution is limited to On the Origin of Species and other, lighter, reading. I don't claim to be an expert at all.
I do, however, know what the word function means.
I took 2 university level biology courses and i'm still not an expert . But really against Beta one does not need to be he's the dunning kruger given human form.

Delusional people have more self-control

I was actually happy when I used to believe I had control over my actions. I was more anxious but also had a sense of achievement. Both my anxiety and pride being delusional, of course. Because it was anxiety over an imaginary sense of control. |
