I just love the fact that so many people of both camps are obviously well-read/educated but still seem to think that they will conclusively solve existentialism in the space of 500 characters.

@blaizethatshitup Should be the top comment on here.

@jwheat65 I don't have any belief in the supernatural. Faith is belief without evidence - that's your speciality.....

As for observation of evolution.......birds, insect resistance to pesticides, MRSA, new strains of E-coli, these have been observed in the lab and in the 'field'. The research is well documented.

You just keep repeating your creationist mantra denying the facts or deliberately misleading yourself and other people therefore: violating your own 9th commandment......

@blaizethatshitup existentialism isn't a problem it's a philosophical stance.

The Holy Ghost is like Mike in the Young Ones.

Yes! A Young Ones reference.

was this before or after the adverts they did for Apple?

Either way, note the computer choice... Robert's got a Mac, David's got a PC :p

@organboi I think it's hard for you to get something funny without the laughing effects.

@la2111 I agree with ur sentiment but cannot agree with ur idea of 'basic'. There are tribes in PNG that practice cannibalism stil and have done so for thousands of yrs. All civilisations eventually die out regardless of what their morals are. The modern moralities you refer to are specific to Western culture and have little or no value in many Eastern countries (China for example) or tribal cultures dotted around the world. Who is to say that those modern moralities u refer to are 'right'?

[la2111]

@wkirbyification I said a 'basic' sense of morality is hardwired into us. This is based on the 'golden rule' which appears across all tribes, societies, creeds and nations. Any society that practises acts such as cannibalism eventually dies out.

Modern moralities such as anti-slavery, gay rights, womens rights and animal rights are indeed decided by (educated) societies - and in opposition to religious groups...........

[wkirbyification]

@la2111 I beg to differ on your last point - morality = behaviour + societal acceptance. What is morally reprehensible in once society is perfectly normal, acceptable or desirable in another. E.g. Cannibalism, drinking bull semen, stoning people to death. Society decides morality, not evolution or religion.
