Scientific reality exists independent of people's thoughts, beliefs, faiths and opinions. Science evolves with people. Science is what measures reality.

Evolution has been proven numerous fucking times to be reality by science. Anyone suggesting otherwise believes in fairy tales.

Not like Texas wouldn't nuke itself if it could.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

In capitalism, you pretty much have a 50/50 chance of being rich or poor. In communism, it's 1/99. What makes people think they have the luck/skill to become the 1% if they can't even succeed in a 50/50 society???

Because ignoring actual evidence in favor of delusional, contradictory stories is totally the sign of a rational, critical-thinking person.

Even if by some strange turn of events the vast majority of scientists in multiple disciplines were wrong and evolution is not true, that would not make young earth creationism true. The burden of proof is on you.

Divair, piss off. You are a rude little shit, and I have no intention of engaging in any sort of debate with you, civil or no. Anyone who disagrees with you is subject to your bastard superiority complex, and I'm not listening to it. Go out on the street and talk to someone in the condescending manner you do on the internet and see how fast you get your ass beat.


In other words, you run away from the debate. Refute him or acknowledge he's right. There's nothing condescending about his post

Yes, God cannot be proven or disproven without infinite knowledge. But you have the burden of proof. You need to prove God exists, or we should just assume he doesn't.
