@faro0485 Poetry, ancient, or contemporary, won't get me any closer to understanding reality. I'm not interested in religion so much as I'm interested in what we can know, and how can we know it, with any degree of certainty. It's about sorting mere belief from reality at this point.

Eugenics is a pseudo-science, which has been known for some time now. It is not supported by evolution, or by science, much less by ethics.

I am hoping others will see these comments, next to yours and realize where you are mistaken/misled, and will appl...

@digitalHistorian Thank you.

@perfacetus "You can't have trust, because you have no one to have trust in." This is an argument from/for authority. Atheists don't tend to place their trust so readily in authorities, so much as in evidence. This is a generalized statement, not one of absolute "fact." Not all atheists, or peopl...
