are as ignorant as a YEC arguing against a biologist.
When science conflicts with fight club logic, guess who wins?
A generalization goes on a distribution curve which already accounts for outliers.
A NAXALT argument is derailing & defensive. Outliers don't disprove the existence of the observable /measurable.
IF you don't understand this^^, then a learning curve is to be anticipated.
Successful generalizations afford reliable predictions which affords odds ratios/risk factors. Generalizing is a science for a reason.
That generalizations get exploited is a social services issue and not an epidemiologist's problem.
I can say atheists argue against doing the science we need to do for offering theists our finest. The trend is so predictable, I can put my money where my mouth is and bet on the manner of the next 20 atheists responding.
That atheists don't see the absurdity of arguing against generalizing w/ an epidemiologist speaks volumes.
We are mirroring theist ignorance in nature/not details
PLEASE NOTE: instead of noting irrelevant, off topic , dodging responses for what they are, they will be ignored.
What is the generalization that you feel many atheists argue against?

@ Ghetto Sheldon What exact medical condition are you making vague references to?
Or is this behavior your preferred form of histrionic mental masturbation?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Another topic by Ghetto Sheldon that is like it was written by a bot pasting random "philosophical" words into sentences.
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"

Hasty is one of my favorite access points on the Buffalo River. When the water is up, floating the 4 miles to Carver, the next access, is faster than driving. The road stops at the parking lot, however, so all gear must be carried from there, which means traversing a dirt path and river bank. Thus, I recommend a Hasty put-in and discourage a Hasty pull-out. The Hasty put-in is reached by what locals refer to as the Hasty Cut-off.
