Are Species a real thing? It may surprise you to hear.... NOPE! It's funny, i was just explaining to someone the other day that "species" was actually a very uncertain, artificial term and now here's a pHD student backing me up! Essentially, there is no consistent way of defining a species which can accurately...See More »
Dinosaur soft tissue proves the Earth is only a few thousand years old!...right? WRONG. And here's why it's actually evidence AGAINST a young earth: I'm going to rob Young Earth Creationists of one of their favourite new arguments. The "soft" tissues discovered are not actually soft. They're not cracking open a dinosaur fossil and finding rubbery, goopy tissue. They're finding mineralized...See More »
As far as i can tell, the Theory of Evolution is BULLETPROOF. Come at me with your BEST counterarguments and counter evidence to Evolution!
I often hear from Theists (seemingly recognizing the flaws in religious thinking) saying that Atheism is a religion. Well...can you make a case for how Atheism is a religion? Let's discuss!
That evolution has occurred is inescapable yet some creationists think that finding a living dinosaur would disprove evolution...well How? For example, many people have searched for Mokele-mbembe; the supposed sauropod dinosaur living in the Congo. But supposing someone did finally find Mokele-mbembe how would it somehow overturn the theory of evolution and an old earth?
I've often heard as a rejection of evolution: Well there should be thousands of transitional fossils. My response: How would you know if they were? So we can see some very dramatic examples of "transitional" forms in animals like Archaeopteryx or Tiktaalik. Animals which are displaying signature examples of anatomy which are characteristic of two or more different groups. But leaving aside the...See More »
Christians who believe the world is about it end: Do you think children should still be going through school? If the End Times are now and Jesus' return is imminent, do you feel it's a waste of time and money for kids to be going to school and learning math, science, history, sociology etc? It's it a waste of time to teach kids to drive? A waste of time to...See More »
Trans women in sports, are we ok with that? It seems like trans women are dominating whatever women's sport they enter. I don't care what anti-trans people have to say on this subject. I'm interested in hearing from other people who generally support transgender rights. Is it fair for a person who has undergone male puberty to compete against biological women?
If Humans evolved from apes, then why are there still Apes?! I know, i know: No Creationist is still making this argument, right? Wrong! Behold Donald Trump’s and Mitch McConnell’s candidate for the U.S. Senate from Georgia, football legend Herschel Walker. In a sit down with a pastor, Walker drops this truth...See More »
Today i'ma dunk on creationists more: If Evolution is wrong and humans and chimps don't share a common ancestor, how do creationists explain ERVs? Endogenous Retroviruses are a type of virus (like HIV) that reproduce by inserting their genetic code into the host DNA chain. When one of these viruses infects a reproductive cell, that viral DNA is copied into every cell of the host's children. The...See More »
Orbital Monsoon Hypothesis: An irrefutable DEBUNKING of Young Earth Creationism. I guarantee that no YEC can tackle this one. I'll try to be concise but even so, i don't expect much response to this slam dunk of a refutation. But a Pikachu can hope! Orbital Monsoon Hypothesis 1) Seasons are caused by the Earth's tilt on its axis relative to the Sun. This causes the...See More »
A magical bearded man is watching you at all times, knows when youre good and bad and will punish or reward you accordingly. Who is this man? ' And why is one considered a fairy tale for kids and the other one is Santa Claus?🤪
One of the hallmarks of science is its ability to make predictions which can be verified. Evolution allows many such predictions... If the creationist wants to treat creationism as science then it must also be able to make novel, testable predictions...so...what predictions have been made using creationism which have subsequently been validated?
An important aspect of science is being open to and even seeking out that which might disprove your theory.While i am no scientist, to this end i would like to hear from you folks regarding what evidence you feel shows that evolution didn't happen or couldn't happen.
Well it looks like the Trucker Protest in Ottawa is over. Most of the protestors left on their own and the rest were pushed out by police. I for one am glad to see an end to the occupation and even gladder to see that it happened with virtually no violence from either side. Well done. When the protest stopped being a party and they were faced with actual consequences for their actions,...See More »
Did you know that the YouTuber Brandi of BrandiTV has been to prison? Crazy! Apparently she was selling ecstasy. I mean, this is the kind of thing she does on her channel. It's just hard to picture, you know?
Here's a gotcha question for you science-denying creationists: If radiometric dating isn't reliable, why does big oil rely on it to find oil? Y'all like to say that radiometric dating can't be trusted when it says thins are older than your religion calls for....and yet these multi-billion dollar companies rely upon it in order to locate and extract petroleum. How do you explain that? I...See More »
I think Peter denied Jesus three times because God moved him to do so in order that he might survive to be a powerful church father.
Creationists, I'd like to see your criticisms of your favourite YouTube preachers. Let's show each other that we are honest enough to recognize flaws. Amongst the atheist debaters that come to mind, i think Matt Dillahunty has very good arguments about biblical morality but i think he's too quick to take offense an fairly innocuous disagreements. I think Aron Ra has an unassailable argument for the...See More »
Creationists: Share with me your honest understanding of what Evolution is and how it works. Don't google it, don't give a snarky reply. Just share your honest understanding. My general experience is that while creationists reject evolution, most of them don't have a very good grasp on what they're rejecting and certainly not the evidence...See More »
So many people are pro-choice when it comes to COVID vaccines but are those people also pro-choice when it comes to a woman's right to abort? Poll (25) See Poll OptionsPersonally i don't think vaccines should be mandatory for the same reason i don't think a woman should have to carry a pregnancy to term against her...See More »
Bit of a specialized question here for creationists. Mokele-mbembe: the living sauropod dinosaur hiding in the Congo. Question: Many young earth creationists believe that if they could prove this animal to be real then this would disprove evolution. Well...How? Are there any young earthers here who could explain to me how finding a living (non-avian) dinosaur would...See More »
Ok Creationists, I'm about to prove to you that you believe in evolution even if you don't realize that you do: Answer Yes or No to the following questions. 1. Do you believe that all organisms are born with inherent variations which occur through such processes as mutation and recombination? 2. Do you believe that the effects of those variations can be...See More »
