@Jeffersonwazright Evolution is a demonstrably accurate description of biodiversity. So that requires no faith. But you're not talking about evolution; you're talking about abiogenesis. That doesn't require faith either. It takes no faith to accept that life did not always exist, and that it must have begun somehow. It takes no faith to propose ways that it might have begun, and begin testing that. It only takes faith to believe things which are not evidently true.

The puritans didn't flee persecution. This is simply a myth that their descendants have perpetuated.

The puritans were so hard line that they couldn't deal with the churches liberalism and decided to cross the Atlantic to set up their own community.

This is why they themselves persecuted the Quakers and the Indians in the new world.

I hate to say it, but you're wrong. The Puritans didn't flee from religious persecution, they fled TO it! There was little religious persecution of anyone in Britain at the time which is why they fled to the colonies to set up a theocracy. So if the US is based on the values of the Puritans, it is, in all senses of the word, a Christian nation. Fortunately saner people took over its society but the bedrock of Puritan belief still permeates it.

makes you wonder if the pilgrims (puritains) fled to the new world so they could have their own religious dominance or that the british get rid of them to get rid of these 'threats' with a new eye on religion that clashed with their own?

While this image shows Evolution in an evil light, it also show it is WINNING.

@rkyeun then why you agreed with it?

[rkyeun]

@255ad

And it failed miserably.

[255ad]

@rkyeun the argument I just gave was a philosophical argument (all be it a very basic one)

[rkyeun]

@255ad

So you accept the objective reality based on evidence just like the rest of us, and are just peddling philosophical bullshit just to be intentionally stupid.

Fuck off, troll.

@rkyeun

1)I DON'T BELIEVE I WON'T DIE

2)I can reasonably assume I will die if I do that based on the fact that consistently other beings who appear to function like me, appear to die if they shoot them self and I have no reason to assume they aren't genuinely dying

@255ad

Believe very strongly that you won't die. Then shoot yourself in the head. Come back and tell me if it was real or not.
