Why did Communists promote Evolution?
RE: Why did Communists promote Evolution?
Yeah, the Vatican is run by morons.
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"

Quote:Yeah, that was a typo. I've read his works and he's an excellent writer. He rightly excoriates the West for its shameful and sinful lack of concern for the Martryred Holocaust of Poor Christian Russia. Pathetic. Only the Papacy and only a few distinguished Good Men cared for what was happening in Russia.

Now, since this thread is on Evolution, moving the post on the fossil issue here as we work it out. Just re-posting it here now, and will get back later.

"Under those conditions, there should be at bare minimum 10 times as many fossils of N3 as of N2, and 1000 times of N3 as of N1. Even that's a vast under-estimate, because Population would grow extremely large, at accelerating rates, across those vast timescales. Next, any statistically significant deviation from these Mean Values - and that's why we'd formulate the Null Hypothesis - shows Evolution is most probably a false explanation of actual real-world physical data - the Alternative Hypothesis.

You should read about the Statistical Field of Hypothesis Testing.

"A statistical hypothesis test is a method of statistical inference used to decide whether the data at hand sufficiently support a particular hypothesis. Hypothesis testing allows us to make probabilistic statements about population parameters ...

The p-value was devised as an informal, but objective, index meant to help a researcher determine (based on other knowledge) whether to modify future experiments or strengthen one's faith in the null hypothesis.[3] Hypothesis testing (and Type I/II errors) was devised by Neyman and Pearson as a more objective alternative to Fisher's p-value, also meant to determine researcher behaviour, but without requiring any inductive inference by the researcher.[4][5]"

I refer to my post on the other thread as it refutes all the personnel incredulity above. The number of fossils is a non-point.

There is no possible set of circumstance under which Vladimir is a typo for Aleksandr. That’s not how typos work.

God cannot give you eternal happiness. You've already proven that you cannot create an actual infinite by successive addition, so God can't do it either. The best he can do is create a finite length time of happiness.

I can get a one- or two-letter typo, but the entire name? How unguided are your fingers that you make seven typos in one damned name?

Dude, that's too transparent. That you'd lie about it speaks to your own conception of morality.

That's odd, because he lived 22 of his last 36 years in the West. And while he certainly criticized us -- only right, as all nations and ideologies are flawed -- his critique of the West was much less pointed.

This is an ignorant statement.

You've already demonstrated your incomprehension of evolution, so I'm uninterested in your views on the matter. You've got so much reading to do on this as well.

Because 1) by 1940 Hitler was willing to sign a concordat which gave Catholic churches in Germany limited autonomy, and 2) Pius XII was anti-Semitic and wasn't bother by the Holocaust.

Pius got what he wanted for his church. So long as the RCC was left alone, it didn't care. In the concordat, Pius abjured any political commentary from the Church regarding Nazi atrocities. In effect he abdicated the Vatican's moral authority in Germany in order to protect German Catholics. His refusal to speak out against the Holocaust was a result of him trying to protect his religious power there.

Just to be clear: many Americans turned a blind eye to the Holocaust as well. It's not like anti-Semitism was unique to Catholics or Europeans.
