Answering Skeptics Who Call Themselves 'Atheists'

@canusernamebemyusername That would require reasoned awareness and informed knowledge

They’re not big on those 😂

@canusernamebemyusername @newjaninev2[quote]Learn what believing actually means. Then maybe you can CONVINCE others.[/quote]

Belief follows Truth and not the other way around. Discover what Truth is first before you start talking about belief.

@GodSpeed63 Your cutesy little sayings mean squat to anyone but you. It's just a way to try and obfuscate when you don't actually have a way of convincing someone.
What you are saying with that phrase is that only that which is true can be believed. But if that were the case then there would be no such thing as believing in non-truth. But even you admit lies exist and people believe wrong. So by your own admission your phrase is rendered meaningless and void.
Again if belief is a choice try actually experimenting and seeing if you can believe by force of will. You are always talking about true science all the time after all. So do some actual tests to see if your hypothesis is true.

@GodSpeed63 Belief follows truth ?
we’ve been just arguing with a flat earther, neo Nazis fascist, conspiracy nut, homophobic ,anti vaxxer, young earth creationist. I’m pretty certain, next he’ll be denying the holocaust next.

Truth remains Truth for everyone, Truth has been established by God for all. I'm not here to convince anybody of anything but to present the Truth to anyone who loves Truth.

@GodSpeed63
People have been worshiping gos for thousands of years. If god established the truth, there wouldn’t be so many of them.

@GodSpeed63 Believers are always tell us their [u]me-ology[/u] regarding individual points of view of their religion. Each one, including you, thinks they have the true one.

No man can know the Truth except those who've invited the Spirit God to be in the hearts.

@GodSpeed63
I tried inviting the spirit of god in to my heart, and it took three rolls of TUMS to get rid of him again.
No thank you.

@DocSavage
I wonder how well that work, if it were Kali, you let in to your heart.

@DocSavage [quote]I tried inviting the spirit of god in to my heart, and it took three rolls of TUMS to get rid of him again. No thank you.[/quote]

Then you'll never know the Truth. I feel sorry for you, Doc.

@GodSpeed63
Sure I will, just not from you and your god

@DocSavage [quote]Sure I will, just not from you and your god[/quote]

And you say I'm being delusional.

@GodSpeed63
I deal in reality, not mythologies. That’s truth enough for me.

@DocSavage [quote]I deal in reality, not mythologies.[/quote]

Then why do you believe in evolution if you claim you deal reality?

@GodSpeed63
Just because it didn’t work on you, doesn’t mean the theory in invalid.

@GodSpeed63 OK, I see it’s time to repeat the lesson

Evolution is change in the distribution and frequency of alleles

Do you agree that the distribution and frequency of alleles change over time?

@newjaninev2 [quote]Do you agree that the distribution and frequency of alleles change over time?[/quote]

Why don't you give an example of what you think the distribution and frequency of alleles change over time means to you?

@GodSpeed63
Haven’t got a clue what she’s talking about , do you.

@GodSpeed63 I won’t tell you what it means [i]to me[/i]

Instead, I’ll tell you what it means

An allele is one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that can occupy the same place on your chromosomes. Different alleles cause different effects [i]i.e.[/i] [b]they cause variation[/b]

That’s why our children often resemble us, but are [i]never[/i] identical to us.

One particular variation may do well in one particular environment, but do poorly in the next environment after it is replicated

('Doing well' means being replicated more than other alleles)

When an allele is replicated more than other versions, it will become more common, and appear in more and more replications.

If there is any part of that you do not understand, just say so, and I'll happily help you through ti

@newjaninev2 [quote]That’s why our children often resemble us, but are never identical to us.[/quote]

Even though that's true, it shouldn't be mistaken for evolution. As a matter of fact, none of what you said should be mistaken for evolution.

@GodSpeed63 So the frequency and distribution of alleles change... [i]and so does the environment in which those alleles need to replicate[/I]

The alleles that gave a [i]reproductive[/i] advantage in one environment may prove to be a disadvantage in a different environment.
