Atheists Who Argue Against Generalizing

Atheists Who Argue Against Generalizing
Atheists who argue against generalizing with an epidemiologist
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.

So how was your b-day? Did you do anything special?

I finished another quilt on Saturday and got one almost done yesterday. Once I get the binding on that one...I have two more ready to assemble. Bummer that I haven't found any interesting fabric lately...I'm going to run out of projects.

Funny you should mention quilts AWTY, I was ruminating just last night about how I'd projectile vomited red wine all over my step father's prized, beige and coloured patchwork, genuine Amish quilt, last year. Luckily my sister was on hand and swept into action, directing washing it by hand in the bathtub etc etc etc...it came out spotless in the end, and the Old Man has/will never know what happened. Result! 

I imagine that, being American, you'd reach for the 9mm if anybody drenched one of your handiwork quilts in red wine sick  Panic Hehe ; )

No, it would just go straight into the washer. I don't reach for a gun to resolve things generally.

I was, of course, merely joking there. Not witty, evidently - comedy fail. Apologies.

I vommed on a cop once. I didn’t have to clean it up, but I got introduced to Mr. Trucheon.
