Disprove? Disprove what? Are we expected to start disproving unicorns, leprechauns, and the tooth fairy next? If you claim that Reese's Pieces fall from the sky on the first Monday after the Autumnal Equinox, it's up to you to prove it. There's no need to disprove god, because despite the...

'The bound of reason' creates a fairly narrow criteria, which excludes dogmatic faith and religion. People laughed at the Raelians for believing aliens were coming to take them to the afterlife. Yet their belief system was no more unreasonable than Christianity, Islam, Hindu, and any other...

Why? I'll be waiting right here for a good answer.

Oh, you wanker. :D And here I was being civil. Enough with that then. Let's get right to the point shall we. Suppose that God did create the Universe. And suppose that he also created the devil. What allows Christians to differentiate the word of God from that of the Devil? In the oft-cited...

Sorry for your loss.

Except that your straw man argument doesn't have a brain. Stalin communism wasn't just a political system. It was dogmatic, the dialectic to remain unquestioned. Dogmatic faith is bad. Whether it's religious or political. People who are trained not to question authority, religious or...

Hate to break it to you, but religion is the occult. They're just looking at ones that are more interesting to them. Remember kids, any supernatural phenomena outside of person X's religion is not acceptable! You must adhere to the worship of the God-Thing! And how is this recent anyway? One...

Wow, plagiarize much? http://www.bible.ca/tracks/b-dinosaurs-mentioned-in-bible.htm We didn't evolve from monkeys. If you are going to ask a question, based on a premise, then you should make a minimum effort to actually verify that your starting premise is correct. You also assume that...

I'll see your Kirk Cameron, and raise you one Crocoduck. (I gave up looking for the right font among hundreds, and used Garamond)

I have to spread some more rep around first, but that post is definitely getting some. Bravo :)

Chaos, as a term, gets tainted by the concept of cities burning, riots in the streets, etc. so people think of chaos as messy, noisy, destructive. But it can just be very tiny variations in a system which can have little noticeable effect at first but pile up over time. So like CJ said, an...

If the sun disappeared Earth would instantly continue outward on its current vector. (A most entertaining episode of The Univsere). The sudden change in gravitational tidal forces would make it a very, very unpleasant place for us to be (understatement). If the black hole at the center of the...

There probably actually wasn't. Only 4 references in the historical record to same or similar name, at least one considered to be a forgery by both secular and theological historians. But they are passing references only. (And the bible is not a historical record. Unicorns and talking snakes do...

Okay, I dug back through a lot of stuff, and CJ's points about orphan stars brings up a very good counter argument to the idea you mentioned of gravity originating in black holes at the center of galaxies. An orphaned star is not only outside of the originating galaxy, it also has to have...

Back on topic... I once was in Florida as a kid, and met two kids from Pennsylvania at the hotel. After playing at the arcade for a while, we went and played around with the shuffleboard court and then took the stuff back to the cabana. An elderly gentleman stopped us along the way, and kept...

Oh, please. I was joking as in Texans being proud of being a shoot-first, ask-questions-later kinda crowd. Canadians not so much. We don't shoot you. We just tell you off if you're a hypocrite. Get off your high horse, spanky. I once and always will have no patience for people with double...

If she thinks you smoke it too much, is there a compromise you can reach where you don't smoke it as much? Aren't the drug laws also extremely strict in the Phillipines? As in life sentences for marijuana possession? If that's the case she's in a difficult position, caring for you and having a...

You once thought right. I once thought if I was Texan you'd have holes in you by now :P

Then address the person I was responding to or get bent.
