@halo6534 Population growth isn't much of an issue in developed, first-world countries such as the United States or European nations. Most of the world's population growth occurs in underdeveloped / impoverished countries -- Liberia and Ethiopia, for instance. Sure, having twenty kids is a bit su...

@ETHIOLOGIST1 Regarding gang-rape and gang-related violence... Well, that has existed throughout humanity's brief tenure on this planet. We've always been violent. It's in our very nature to be violent. However, nations such as Sweden (roughly 85% atheist and rising) have considerably lower crime...

@dmanpic Accurate atheism that the vast majority of sensible atheists hold, whose numbers are larger than you think: "The absence of belief."

Why do you have to assign "reason" to existence, as if there has to be a guiding, intelligent hand? Why? It only testifies to your extreme arrogance. Your...

Just for reference...

The banana Ray Comfort is flaunting in this video -was- intelligently designed -- by human plant cultivators through artificial selection. It's kind of like how we selectively, artificially breed dogs for desirable traits, which resulted in dogs such as the Doberman Pinsche...

@ekajeht Sweden is roughly 85% atheist. It's one of the most peaceful, well-rounded, accepting, tolerant examples of human societies in modern existence.

Who says an in-context moral philosophy whose ulterior case in point is "what's best for the good of our species" is impossible? It's common s...

@Yeshuashai1 God doesn't exist.

COMMANDER SHEPHERD, YOU HAVE BEEN BROUGHT BACK FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANITY. WE NOW FACE THE GREATEST THREAT TO OUR BRIEF EXISTENCE.

TO EPITOMIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF WHAT IS TO FOLLOW, I WILL NOW PLAY EXTREMELY DRAMATIC MUSIC.

If only Leon and Chris were together for once. That'd be a fun cooperative game, if anything.

"By the Goddess... That was incredible, Shepherd!"

Mass Effect has some incredibly cheesy, groan-worthy dialog. *Slowly covers her face with her palm and sighs.* =)

@TheDevilvivek It's a Colgate commercial.

@Sekair Take a look at a political world map entailing the vast number of differing religious ideologies. What do you see? That's right; an absolutely overwhelming majority of people in the Middle East are affiliated with Islam. The overwhelming majority of Chinese are affiliated with various Chi...

@crazy77iii "Angry"? I'm only being frank and succinct. Historical accuracies (and inaccuracies) can be found in the Qur'an, too. I'd be delighted to give examples. Is it going to "prove" anything to you? No, because you express an emotional attachment to your cherished belief. Human beings are e...

@ADZ01982 Missing the point? Humanity knows nothing, from any scientific perspective, as to what "happened" before the big bang. Saying that "something occurred out of nothing" isn't what I'm saying, because to do so would assert that we -know- there was nothing before the big bang singularity. W...

@6gunwalker The point? Correlation is often confused with causation. Creationist hooey is no different. Regardless of how "perfect" something may seem to our monkey brains, the awesome machinery of nature doesn't have to comply with our nice, neat fantasies of cosmic justice. Saying "God did it" ...

@Xanadude575 It's a pretty sad disservice to human intellect to proclaim that, in tribulation, God somehow magically manifests itself as "truth." In fact, in doing so, one would only testify to his own primitive, pathetic cowardice and stupidity.

If a man of Russell's status were 'interviewed on...

@cda76er Abundantly known? You consider an unfalsifiable claim -- the product of superficial observation and a deliberate, willful ignorance of another perspective that more simply and directly explains things without, as far as human knowledge can ascertain, the need for 'intelligent design' -- ...

@LoricaLady Science can explain, to the hour, when Pluto will rotate around the sun once. Yet, we haven't discovered Pluto in time to observe a full orbit. Does that mean we have to have "faith" that it won't magically slow down to a crawl or speed up in the vacuum of space?

It's your kind of d...

More dislikes than likes? Gee...

@TheKashmirPirate Precisely. So, why try to estimate? An estimation with no supportive data is verdically worthless.

To reiterate, it's fine to wonder and to imagine. But, trying to estimate something on paper is silly.

@lonewolf19792000 When humanity finally wakes up from its horrific, iron chains of suffocating, oppressive superstition, dangerous unreason, and outright folly, maybe we'll finally be able to seriously work toward our potential. One can dream, I suppose. :)
