I agree. However, NationStates is full of people who have no problem dishing out disrespect, as long as it's under the guise of superior intellectual capability, complete with "undeniable" scientific sources. Although such pompousness is not limited to NationStates, unfortunately.

Good.

You can't properly teach why one theory is better than another if you don't teach both theories.

Maybe a theme park. You know, something to teach kids about the mistakes of the past through rollercoasters and what not.

An interesting idea.

Yes you can. We don't teach alchemy or astrology and we understand astronomy and chemistry perfectly fine.

That's a waste of perfectly inhabitable territory. We just need to replace all the people in charge by expanding the surrounding states until there's no more Texas. Maybe leave a few square miles in the middle.


You saw what happened when tribal lands were left in Pakistan right?
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.

One is a theory with scientific evidence. The other isn't even a hypothesis. You want to guess which one is which?

No, it would not. And it's not my agenda to prove that whatever I believe is true. It is always part of my agenda to get people aware of their double standards. Certain people keep repeating themselves, saying "but there is undeniable proof!" Except that it's not undeniable. If it were there wouldn't be educated, intellectually-inclined individuals and groups debating it. Something is only undeniable when it can be proven beyond a doubt, which evolutionary theory fails to do. The favored sources of evidence cited by those on the pro-evolution side consist of "proofs" which are limited in scope, circulated and re-circulated among select scholarly circles, and then presented to the masses as the undeniable musings of intellectually infallible "scientists" who largely won't admit that they have their own bias. To respond to a few others, no, I don't "concede". My thrashing of Divair stems from other times that he has spoken condescendingly toward me, coupled with watching him do it to others on a regular basis, even when he's proven wrong. Although even if he were right all the time, he shouldn't speak to people the way that he does. That was the purpose of my "ragequit", to quote another poster.


Except you haven't demonstrated anything. Except an inability to field a logical argument. Which leads me back to my original point. Prove your claims or admit you are wrong. It's really that simple.


maybe if you act nicer to him, he will be more inclined to admit fault

That's a bit of a double standard for the both of you.
