If most people agree that something is immoral that simply means that as a species we have reached a moral consensus. Hardly surprising since many psychological studies have shown humans are naturally empathetic in nature due to an evolutionary trait of reciprocal altruism. this cannot be used as...

@kdrapertrucker No. I understand the right to bear arms. I just question whether this should apply to automatic weapons.

It is not 1792, you don't need to defend yourself against the British any more and smooth bore musket is very different to an AK47.

But it seems that this is now part of your ...

Bloody hell some American TV progs are shit! Funny tho. I like the A-team approach to the false jeopardy.

@ravenousglacier

Yes agreed but the specific question was about liberal thinking and relativism. Sam replied with the answer about colonial guilt.

I didn't mean to imply that Sam was arguing for moral absolutes but rather that he failed to recognise the pernicious effect of de-constructivism and...

Obviously they are using a different definition of proof to the one in the dictionary. Last time I checked that wasn't 'because my holy book says so'

I travelled to Turkey and Morocco twenty years ago. They are both Muslim countries. I don't remember seeing a single woman with facial covering, niqab or Burka.

So it is factious to say it is part of Islamic culture.

It is part of fashion sweeping the western world from the influence of Arab o...

@399359 "expelled, no intelligence allowed" which is what I assume you meant is a terrible film, I'm afraid. It dishonestly edits interviews to take comments out of context. It has a weird theory at its heart that thousands of scientists are conspiring against ID which shows total ignorance of ho...

I have no problem with gay men adopting. However I think elderly celebrities buying babies is wrong. Elton john is in his late sixties . In the country hes is from he would be forced to go through the same adoption process as everybody else and his chances would be zero.

@OfficialLectric You think that only Americans are going to feel the effects?

I'm on the other side of the pond and it scares me. For one thing the GOPs are committed to "drilling for Jesus" as they are in denial about global climate change.

@MorganMarvinson You are lying either that or you are blind to a massive amount of research

Evolution is very easy to observe and test. In the short term bacteria can and are shown to evolve in the lab because their life spans are so short you can run a thousand generations in a couple of years...

@LarkBurden A small number of obese people have medical reasons why they are so, but for most it really is about finding the will power to exercise more and eat healthier. Ricky is simply saying that it is ridiculous to describe that as an 'illness' any more than saying some body who can't quit ...

should read author of this peice

Interesting. People getting upset about whats going to happen to their particular stretch of rock in millions of years after they are dead but nobody gives a shit about what happened millions of years before they were born. Says a lot about human nature. Honestly! you'll be past caring. Suns goin...

In the UK fox news is seen as utterly ridiculous ( you can get it on sky because Murdoch owns both channels )and saying some body watches fox news is a joke to imply they are a cretin.

I'm talking materially of course.

Sadly, n the political sphere science is fighting a rear guard action over some of its core discoveries. Like it or not we must be able to get across the arguments even though we may be sick of doing so. The first thing I want people to understand about evolution...

No offence to Americans but I think he is conducting himself in a manner he thinks will go down well there. He definitely wouldn't have come out with this BS during his time as Newspaper editor in the UK.

He has revealed he has that oh so familiar air of one who likes easy answers and does not li...

@LiveOakOkie You seem to be confusing inventing with perfecting. John Logie Baird was the first to INVENT the television but Marconni came up with a better electron based system. Then the Americans put out NTSC based tv. Europeans came back with PAL which is superior because it has more scan line...

"It is almost impossible to tell if you are listening to a creationist - or somebody making fun of creationists".

Not if you listen carefully. My favourite bit was "whether a snail can get away from the wrath of my loving God".

And the bit at the end about sending a plague on the first born of ...

Errm all the people in the Video are Scottish so whilst technically British I would suggest this video be renamed, 'Scottish are also NOT stupid'.

Not that you couldn't have got the same results in England, Wales or Northern Ireland ( Or Australia) . You could of course.

Also the first question a...

@gregrutz I don't think so where did you get that idea? Hawkin and others have speculated that it could have been caused by Quantum foam which is the observable phenomena that energy is being instantly created and annihilated through out the universe. Dark energy is an uknown factor in the expan...

@sloanishy It may be the case that you can't ascertain given numbers alone the range of expertise on either side of a debate which is why I said I was making no more than a guess. However there is plenty of sociological data that would make somebody who endorsed creationist thinking over scienti...

fantastic summing up of the arguments. Good job.

Just saying it like it is. We don't have the luxury of tact when people want to kill people who do not believe what they do, or think birth control is a mortal sin when we live in an overpopulated word with dwindling resources, or are in denial of climate change or preach that cancer is caused by...

delusions of grandeur

"They can't afford  this University". Precisely. We shouldn't be putting people into a university based on their ability to pay but on their intelligence or ability.

We shouldn't see universities as of benefit to the individual but to society. If RD wants a world based on reason he needs to und...

I think Christians can be intelligent and rationale but I also think that faith itself is intrinsically irrational since it posits many things that contradict the laws of the universe as we understand them and offers no evidence other than the existence of faith itself. As there are many such be...

Usual ID mix of unsubstantiated claims, misrepresentations and ad hominem statements and down right lies. If you keep saying "this is proof of a designer" over and over again it doesn't make it true. Nor does "Evolution has been disproved".

All the actual evidence is so laughable you need to be p...
