@SBFlopple According to you I have the right to: murder, bully and steal as long as I'm not seen doing any of it (rights are those things we can do freely unless someone stops us). So if nobody stopped me I could do whatever I want?
-
@JamesSkuzz Actually, I very much DO have the right to judge my son, or anyone else I choose. Rights are those things we can do freely unless someone prevents us from doing them: life, speech, et cetera. You don't have the right to try to stop me from forming an opinion about someone's actions; you do have the right to dislike my doing so.

@SBFloppie "There is a degree of resistance to change among scientists"
As there should be... HOWEVER, new evidence enhance and augment scientific theories and models ALL the time. Science wouldn't be science if it wasn't flexible accommodating new discoveries and evidence. What exactly is your point?
-
@SBFloppie "human as the rest of us, and just as prone to pride (possible more so?) as the rest of us."
Sure, scientists are human...however, the vast majority of scientists are as humble as they come constantly insisting that they might be wrong and focusing on evidence leaving interpretation of evidence to the scientific community as a whole. If anything, they have LESS pride than your average person.

At least we still have guys like Sam Harris now that Hitchens died...

I couldn´t love this more,I´m a taoist and think of it more as a spiritual and occultist philosophy but also think secularism and freedom of thinking should make up the basis of any society which claims itself to be progressive and truly humane,there´s no true goodness without secularism but only religious conceptions of it !

He says the same thing on every video. It's not groundbreaking stuff. At least Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins have some KNOWLEDGE in their brains.... (albeit mostly put to waste. Nonetheless.....)

big words are big.
Our god is a saucy god
he reins in space above
with pirates helping out to save
the ozone we love
Our god (echo) is saucy god
he reins (echo) as the noodly one
with complex carbons
oh may his sauce cover all of us
(A song I'm writing for his most supreme and noodliness. RAmen!)
