Meet Anurognathus. Looks like a bat, right? Well it's actually a pterosaur: an extinct flying reptile that lived alongside the dinosaurs. It lived about 150 million years ago during the Jurassic period. It was less than a foot long, had about a foot to a foot and a half wingspan and was likely nocturnal. We even know the colour of these animals thanks to fossilized melanosomes. Brown....See More »
Are you going to get the COVID vaccine when it is offered to you? If not, feel free to explain why not. Poll (11) See Poll Options
Trying to ease the minds of those with vaccine hesitancy towards the COVID shot: The vaccine has been fast, NOT rushed. The vaccines are safe and effective. The speed with which the vaccines have been produced is a testament to what science can accomplish when there is enough political will and resources applied to it. The vaccine was not rushed. There were no safety...See More »
I had a thought for people understanding a bit what it's like to be on the autistic spectrum.Neurotypical people have no trouble reading a person's mood by their body language, facial expression and tone. People on the spectrum can have a great deal of difficulty with that. Well for you neurotypical folks, imagine trying to read a dog's...See More »
Continuing my series of Young earth coffin nails, allow me to present *bap ba dup daaaa!* The fossil record. [Spirituality & Religion] If dinosaurs and humans coexisted and died in the Noachian flood then we would see their remains mixed together in the same geological layers. But we don't see that anywhere on the planet. If you're a young earth creationist, how do you explain that...See More »
The Bible is undeniably a sexist book. It constantly devalues and objectifies women. Is it hard to be a bible-believing Christian and a modern woman? [Spirituality & Religion]
Another nail in the coffin of Young Earth Creationism: Limestone formation. The rate of formation demolishes Noah's flood. [Spirituality & Religion] Lime stone forms and deposits at a few different rates depending on temperature, water depth and conditions. I.E. it forms fastest in warm, calm, shallow seas. Young earthers are already in trouble because the Great Flood was anything but calm,...See More »
How much money does America lose on illegal immigrants? I assume that's the objection. If not, what are the other reasons?
Does this verse in Isaiah acknowledge the existence of other gods? It seems explicitly to do so. If not, why not? [Spirituality & Religion] (Quote) Isaiah 24:21
Bit of a specialized question here for creationists. Mokele-mbembe: the living sauropod dinosaur hiding in the Congo. [Spirituality & Religion] Question: Many young earth creationists believe that if they could prove this animal to be real then this would disprove evolution. How? Are there any young earthers here who could explain to me how finding a living (non-avian) dinosaur would...See More »
People who think that COVID is just like the flu.....why have we kicked the shit out of the flu this year but COVID keeps on increasing?Food for thought
Peeps who think the Bible is a literal history, what's the answer for how civilizations like Egypt had so many people so shorty after the flood? [Spirituality & Religion]
Evolution: Do you accept it or deny it? Did all life on earth evolve? Poll (13) See Poll Options I know this isn't really politics, i'm just interested trying to get a lot of SW responses to this question outside of the spirituality/religion board...See More »
anti maskers It's a pandemic, idiots. Hey Karen, wake up from your soft, comfy life of privilege and do something for other people for once.
Radiometric dating shows an ancient earth but Young Earth Creationists want to believe that is isn't reliable. Just guess. Well answer me this: [Spirituality & Religion]If radiometric dating isn't reliable the why does big oil use it in order to find oil? These guys are very. very interested in making money. If it didn't work reliably then surely they wouldn't be using it. Thoughts?
Trumpers do not enter this thread! This is not for you. I think this video does a great job of capturing how so many of us felt on the 20th.
I'm trying not to post gloating about Trump's loss to Biden but they're making it hard... I got my totally belligerent, gleeful taunting of Trump cultists out when he lost and then tried to sue his way out of that loss but now that it's all over i'm trying not to rub it in their faces. But some of them are just begging for it!
For those of you who believe that a person is created at the time of conception, what are your thoughts on in vitro fertilization?Is it an issue for you? Or does it only count if it growing in a woman's body?
For my Christian peeps: how much of evolution do you deny? [Spirituality & Religion] Poll (12) See Poll Options Please feel free to offer more detail or ask questions.
How do we justify taking Isaiah as a description of the second coming/end times rather than the specific fall of the near east nations of the time? [Spirituality & Religion]The destruction and judgement seems pretty specific and rather local in scope so how do Christians determine that this actually describes the end of the world?
A challenge to evolution-denying creationists: If a DNA test shows your relatedness to your mother or father or racial heritage... [Spirituality & Religion] ...why doesn't it show relatedness to other species confirming evolution through common decent? It's the same test looking at the same things. How can you justify accepting that paternity tests show relatedness but reject the same kind of test...See More »
