  1. Re:In the name of Allah ! on Gunmen Kill 12, Wound 7 At French Magazine HQ · · Score: 1

    Once one examines the percentages of the population taking part in and/or condoning the activity, one finds your argument is fatuous.

    "Semantics of kill or murder don't matter..." Bullshit. They are two very, very different things not just semantics. The word in the commandment is murder, not kill. You may kill in self-defense. If a Christian murders, they may still call themselves a Christian but by consciously breaking a commandment, they have abdicated their god and religion. Those aren't just some sort of municipal law.

    Yes. And all done with no attempt to explain "how".

    While we're dealing with fantasy, let's just build a larger Dyson sphere around the first to capture that IR and use it, emitting even lower energy light as waste.

    You cannot study that which you do not have. You can only postulate. Not at all the same thing.

    How about this? Kindly do not suggest to the public that you're just intellectually masturbating and calling it research. What you do on your bathroom should be kept your own business.

    Feel free to personally finance investigations into interstellar life. Just don't attempt to force everyone else to commit to it as well. See how far your allowance goes with the guys that write these kinds of researchers goes.

    You are correct. That water had gasses in it before the fracking started.

    I can tell you as a Christian, I have not seen anything in science which is disputed by the Bible.

    How about not being able to stop the rotation of the Earth in a non-destructive manner?

    You statement doesn't at all address what he questioned, merely spouted liberal talking points.

  13. Re:Null hypothesis on WSJ Refused To Publish Lawrence Krauss' Response To "Science Proves Religion" · · Score: 1

    Not really. It's the acceptance that the hypothesis of gods existing hasn't been proven and each attempt at proof has fallen flat. Much like aether, it leaves us not contemplating it at all. In other words, without (a). You say atheism is not scientific, which is true. Then you go onto assert that it is an active attempt to negate a certain belief, which it is not. It's an acceptance of the lack of any evidence at all and living with the concept of that complete vacuum. I wish more religious people would get *that*.

  14. It would also have been "right" to mention that Newton, the man Tyson chose to use as an avatar for science, was a very, very staunch Christian and believed in alchemy.

  15. Oh bullshit. He chose December 25 and he constructed his tweet to lead in in almost identical phraseology to a Christmas sermon only to caveat the whole thing with the last section. The hell he didn't realize he was doing that. And then later he feigns amazement at the backlash. It's either on purpose or he's a dumbass.

    You're being pedantic. "You can't tell me" doesn't mean a literal 'you have to not talk', it means you cannot force your will on me to make *me* not think or say things. This was pretty much exactly what the poster he was responding to meant by "you should jsut stop". He's got freedom of speech correct.

    "or have much questions asked" Untrue and ignorant of politics and the atmosphere of 1800's Europe. "The whole concept of borders and nation states acknowledging each other is a few 100 years old" Apparently you are also ignorant of Greece, Persia, Egypt, etc. Blatantly so.
