[ProcInc]

@darris321

Still better than most. I'm not saying its any good. Just there are worse out there.

[EvilSylv]

As an atheist, I still have to say "Amen" to that. :)

[darris321]

@TheIrrationalAtheist they propagate aids in africa and save boy raping priests from prosecution lol

[ZOMGitsCriss]

Lincoln freed no one. He ended federalism & states' rights. His illegal war cost the lives of 620,000 Americans; destroyed 40% of Dixie's economy and maimed millions.

[darris321]

@procommenter what survey of the population found that 88.31 % of atheists engage in homosex?

you must be trollin

abraham lincoln is given way too much credit on things also, i would agree with that much

but he did free people, he just got killed before he executed his plan of sending them all to liberia lol

[procommenter]

Only a healthy brain can categorize an image. Nonetheless we are greatly crippled by our meager senses. The physical laws as we know them are just that: as we know them. [At the Nuremberg show trials the soldiers, and political underlings, of defeated Germany said that they were just following orders. Young men fight these wars of pelf because their fathers have failed them.]

[procommenter]

Darwinists preach an interesting supposition, (although the electric sun hypothesis has more going for it) but the Earth of 100's of millions of years ago remains unknown to Man. Similarly: the Great Pyramid at Giza cannot be replicated even with modern hydraulic equipment. Go figure. Practical/analytical/purposefu­l science must be given top priority. Darwin's take on Sumerian pseudo-science, though clever, has failed to evolve beyond a nuisance for serious researchers.

[darris321]

@procommenter where did you get your information

we can totally replicate the pyramids

wtf are you talking about?

[patflix]

Look out, Charlie Rose. Javier's coming to PBS.

[SisyphusRedeemed]

He's speaking at my university next Tuesday. I'm giving my students extra credit to go see him.

[CousinoMacul]

He was an excellent speaker. He was funny and informative. He's also a little league umpire and a baseball fan, so expect a few baseball metaphors in his talk. :-)

The last ~5 minutes were mostly apologist arguments for reconciling science & religion. His theology is basically "God works through nature"; he rejects Gould's NOMa.

But overall it was a great talk; he's very charismatic.

[KingHeathen]

HOLY FUCK! You got an INTERVIEW with KEN MILLER!!!

FUCKING KICK ASS!!!!!

You just crushed all the pride I had in getting Richard Dawkins to say "Hello Heathens" for me.

I bow to your superiority. You are hereby to be known as KING Macul.

[LeafInTheStream]

ONE of the greatest biologists who ever lived? Hmmm. I'm not a biologist, so maybe I'm just missing it, but: who else even comes close?

[BradleyOnTheRoad]

Crick, Watson, Wilkins and Franklin.

[MrFacet]

Where Crick&Watson really that insightful or did they push themselves in the right place at the right time? Reading Crick's "Amazing Hypothesis" did not seem that deep and he or Watson has said simpleton things about races.

[Maiyanna]

Thanks for posting that! Nice that he took the time to talk to you. :)

[procommenter]

With no moral absolutes: Is killing an "atheist" immoral? It's a question that belongs to the ages. There are no easy answers.

Ken Miller protects monkeys from harm.

[TheAtheistPaladin]

Ah, you bastard!

[philhellenes]

Show off. Git. Jealousy-inducing nerd. Hmmph!

[DefaultPosition]

I think that "Origin of the Species" is the most important book ever written because it not only explains the diversity of life on earth and how we can understand why we are the way we are, it also gives us a tool to help us understand the process of CHANGE.

[DasAmericanAtheist]

Ken Miller rocks my face. A friend once asked me what I thought THE greatest book ever written was and without hesitation I answered The Origin of Sppecies.

He seemed suprized by this and asked me why. To which I replied: because it showed man's REAL place in the universe.

[Saukko31]

Kenneth Miller FTW!

[rozeboosje]

Cool! I hope you wished him a good day from all of us here?

[Darwinsgift]

I tried to interview Richard Dawkins but he is hard to get hold of! LOL! ...

You have a Darwin Day scoop!

[Mjhavok]

Ken Miller is great. He is so passionate about science.

[musicisthegateway]

Dude.. you are so mancrushing on Darwin these days. Its kinda hawt. hehe

oh yea.. FU Science

[D4Shawn]

Darwin, being an agent of Satan, gave us Nazis and eugenics. Without him, the goal of developing a master race capable of opposing God would be impossible. For this, we shall be eternally grateful, unless God wins, in which case we'll all burn for eternity in a lake of fire. Hopefully that won't happen though. Praise Darwin.

[Barklord]

Funny. I know you're being facetious but the implications for ethics are immense and a lot has been written and debated about it. For instance, how do we justify experimenting on other animals yet hold humans sacred? It's only a choice...and throughout history people have chosen to ignore this distinction...because they can.
