In a real sense, evolution does have gaps in it. If that wasn't true we wouldn't need to still be studying it. That doesn't mean it isn't a sound theory, it just means that we don't have all the data...
It's a good thing for humanity that not everyone uses your same standard, considering that almost all scientific knowledge, possibly excluding the last few decades, was made by religious people, as...
Good point, but I do think that religious leaders aren't comparable to a gay scientist, or astronaut. That would be like discussing BY within the context of his being heterosexual, which I think is...
I don't know why anyone would want to be singled out as a "gay contributor to history" or a "black contributor" or anything else, personally. I think all those labels are divisive and contrary to...
I'd say that until schools can teach kids to read, do math, and understand science they should probably just focus on that. Only two out of every three kids even graduates high school in California. ...
brb ignoring the fact that religion has been the repository and expository force behind science for thousands of years, including saving whole languages and history from being destroyed, creating...

I'm still holding judgment on them, I don't think there's anything conclusive out about it either way yet is there? I love this kind of thing, really cool historical finds are always cool to hear...
I've read his book, Physics for Future Presidents, and it's pretty good. He was pretty supportive of the global warming movement in his book though, so when people call him a longtime critic of...
If you spend time reading and quoting books about not collecting stamps (ie Dawkins), debate them heavily on the internetz and call yourself someone who doesn't collect stamps, that definitely moves...
Yeah, that makes sense. There are a lot of variables to think about. I think the numbers I've seen that are considered "conservative" are between 30-50 million, and most of them include starvation...
Hooked, what number would you estimate that Zedong and his party under his control are responsible for killing? I'm just curious to see the difference between what's out there and what you're...
If that's true, you'll need to get the word out. The first four entries in google, including Wikipedia, the Mirriam-Webster dictionary, and even an atheistic site called "infidels.org", plus...
