Read through the comments and tell me Clint Thorton isn't concerto lol.

National atheist registry, anyone?

Don't mean to post this as a "let's laugh at christians" thing. This guy clearly doesn't speak for the majority of you guys.

I would be all for a "typical RGT errors" or something like that, but do not have the time to try and make one up. We also have to be careful as to what we put.

If someone was to start a thread on this and we could all agree on a few things I would make the sticky.

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of creating the sticky? For example, there's no way that you, Concerto, festeringzit, and Notready would agree with the atheists as to what should be included in the TOE section of the FAQ.

It is tricky because of that. I think that what the sticky would have to be more about is information, not claiming victory. Sort of a catch all resource for common RGT topics.

So something like "do we have enough/any transitional fossils" can be an FAQ question with a list of resources attached. I don't need to agree with them to put it up as a credible source. I would just not link to some dudes blog as authoritative.

lol. heaven help us

Yea, this sounds right. It'll be fine if we just link to credible sources (without any synthesis by us).

I'll make the (discussion) thread soon enough, if someone else doesn't start it before I do.

Quote from LC in another thread:

"I know you really love to mix communists and nazis and atheists together all the time but you probably mean "dacha". Dachau is a town in Bavaria infamous for its concentration camp. You're welcome."

Why do atheists on here act like such pedants over a misspelling and feel so smug about it?

It's really not a good thing.

I'm sure this troll thread is OK in Jib's mind because it's trolling atheists.

Nah Jibsy is doing atheists a kindness closing this thread and this one:

unsettling connection between COMMUNISM and CHRISTIANITY



Two of the stupidest threads an atheist has run yet and its hard to maintain a sense of atheist superiority with them open.

Also atheists always duck burden of proof at all costs.

Ive given you proof many times on this subject.

Packer receiver/return man Randall Cobb on why he decided to break the rule given to him by his coaches of not returning kicks if he has to take a step back from his initial spot on kickoffs (5 yards deep in the endzone).

Good thing god gave you those teammates to lay some sick blocks. Too bad he didn't give those thousands of kids any food today who died before, during, and after you were returning that kickoff for a TD.

God is a Packers fan, ldo.

Maybe atheists should try this tact- everytime someone tries to show them proof that their posts are woefully wrong they should just say, "this is not a debate thread"?

Or they could just ignore all postings and continue to post non-sequitors posted with links to pages they won't defend and maybe haven't even read? You seem to think it works for you.

They might have food, but the international scientific community convinced the world into wasting billions and billions of dollars on a project designed to search for a particle that apparently does not exist as they predicted.

Really? The reason people starve is because of science? Please do some research before spouting random bull****.

We lose enough food to spoilage every year which could feed the entire world twice over. All grown by methods perfected by science.

It spoils because it can't get distributed properly, due to various logistic and political problems. Warlords steal food distributed by aid groups because they use famine as a weapon. Don't blame this **** on the scientists.

Science is trying to solve the problem.

are you ****ing kidding me?

Yea, I mean, what has science science ever done to help feed anyone...

wait...

what's this doing here?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process

The Haber process now produces 500 million tons (453 billion kilograms) of nitrogen fertilizer per year, mostly in the form of anhydrous ammonia, ammonium nitrate, and urea. 3–5% of world natural gas production is consumed in the Haber process (~1–2% of the world's annual energy supply).[1][14][15][16] That fertilizer is responsible for sustaining one-third of the Earth's population

Just one of the most infuriating sentences I've ever read. Absurd that anyone that can read can actually think like that.

Sadly, it's pretty common for American Christians to see science as an evil thing.

Stark wrote a book that monotheism led to science.
Here's a review of it from this site http://www.twoorthree.net/2010/04/gu...-science.html:

For the Glory of God: How Monotheism Led to Reformations, Science, Witch-Hunts, and the End of Slavery by Rodney Stark


Stark argues that faith in God encouraged Christians to invent science. Having read other books making the same claim, I think Stark's approach to this question is one of the best. Not only does he go over the development of technology in the so-called "Dark Ages," and show how the "Enlightenment" picture of Copernican era science is a myth, he studies 52 key early scientists, and shows that more than 60 % were "devout," while only 2 were skeptics. The critic below who asks why Christianity did not produce science in Russia did not read attentively: Stark argues that faith in God was a necessary, but not sufficient, cause of the rise of science. Other factors were also involved.

I take it he didn't study China or they guy who used friction to start a fire.

Yet they refuse to turn off their science when i ask them.

Most Christians have enough contact with reality to go to a medical doctor, rather than just praying to be cured.

Especially the priesthood.

They found out (by trial and error) that they get better results with prayer and a doctor, than they do with prayer alone. A lot better.

But the news still has periodic stories about the gullible, who actually believe what they have read, or been told.

Science discovered germs, genetic diseases, environmental causes, medical imaging, and drugs. But not spit and dirt in the eyes.

It is?

That's ******ed.

Many early scientists were Christians.

Atheists didn't invent science though some of them on here do like to imply by association they did.

I think its more.....we doubt the scientist and his intentions in general.

Like..... when a scientist makes a claim that is contrary to my view, my inclination is to think that his conclusion is actually probably unscientific, and he's a puppet for a political agenda.

Naturally, sometimes our paranoia will turn out to be unjustified, sometimes it won't. Just gotta keep examining.
