    no, they generally don't kill women, they impregnate them, early and often. the problem that will grow is more muslims assholes who abuse women.

    Yes, and those Christians have slaughtered tens of millions of "unbelievers" over the centuries. Hitler had nothing on the Roman Catholic Church when it comes to body count.

    Sure, the Christian God throws most people into The Lake of Fire at the end. "Broad is the path that leads to destruction"...and all that. A regular tyrant, that one

    religion is just an even more fallible and certainly more useless (other than for grubbing power and money) system of human endeavor than science. I like and have worked in science, science is a good thing. But it has issues.

  5. Re:Truth on Debate Over Evolution Will Soon Be History, Says Leakey · · Score: 1

    No, that would be a subset of Philosophy that deals with question of Truth. Your assertion about "slightly truer truth" is laughable, it has indeed occurred where science has embraced a point of view, retreated from it, and taken it up again. Asimov was wrong. The only thing we can say is that scientific viewpoints, models, assertions *change*, there is no guarantee of improvement.

    people do just that, a certain percentage of people DO die, whether we're talking about aspirin or heart transplants. Medicines have been approved by the FDA which later were found to have no benefit, or certain harm.

    Science is merely one method adhered to by a small subset of humans. There are other ways information and useful models are obtained, for example medicine does not proceed along purely scientific lines. Mathematics does not either, and yet useful systems are developed that have application sometimes centuries after invention come into being.

    The voices in your head told you that?

    Why would a "God" need to perform an experiment, when He already knows the outcome? It is all irrational nonsense, fabricated stories no more substantial than children's fairy tales.

    science doesn't deal in Truth, and its viewpoints and theories change with time. As with any other human endeavor, science is fallible and uncertain. science evolves. science makes mistakes. science has scientists some of whom are driven by political or monetary agendas.

    nonsense, I've put Ubuntu and Mint on people's laptops and desktops and they do fine, no command-line or exotic admin skills necessary. Even for kids to use LibreOffice for schoolwork.

    Quite frankly, now that I have a MacBook at work, some of the actions there are quite non-intuitive compared to most Linux desktops or Windows.
