People are so brave on the internet.

That's an interesting, however implausible, theory on the Russians. They spend all of their money building missiles so I'm inclined to think they, eventually, got it right. Furthermore, it wasn't a race; the moon is still there and everyone has better tech than the US had in '69. Why has no one else gone? The US…

Imagine Duracell and Energizer not using their millions to suppress this technology.

And here I thought it was just "Free Software Day."

Science! Solving the less important problems whilst creating much larger ones. I'm looking at you, Fukushima!

No, you don't have to "come up with every answer" but if you're backing science, science said it has answers. When I looked closely, however, I found nothing but theories—some of them quite wild. You have no explanation for the origin of life, and that is all-important. The nature of consciousness? Quite the…

That was funny when the CIA first handed it to you in the 70's. It's 40 years old, now but you haven't kept up. I bet you believe all their stories. Did you hear the one where all the living witnesses to the "assassination" of Osama Bin Laden are dead now? Yes, all 38 members of Seal Team 6, packed into a…

Ok, so if the US could go to the moon 45 years ago, with technology that even poor nations have, now, why has no one else gone to the moon? Why did Russia never go? Please, don't even bring the "too expensive" excuse. Russia bankrupted itself keeping up with the Joneses. Why has China, Japan, Germany, India,…

Religion is no less subject to "scrutiny" than science. Men have been examining the Bible and other religious texts as long as they have existed. That they disagree is an inextricable phenomenon of human nature. Men don't all agree on scientific matters either but, somehow, science has the reputation of absolute…

The universe is a system of rules and those rules require a cause for every effect. If the universe is a product of God, that God would have to exist outside of the system in order to establish it. He would not, therefore, be subject to the same logic as evolution. That mean that you need something to get the…

Wow, that toddler is really smart...and resourceful.

Worse...by several orders of magnitude.

"Evolution" is more of a miracle than "God" because at least "God" has a theoretical existence. Evolution is admittedly nothing. No force, no form, no function. Nothing at all. How did you allow yourself to be convinced that nothing could be responsible for all the incredible intricacy observed in millions upon…

I did not invoke a straw man but you had to try.

4 years. That's a good start. Good luck…

Again, deflecting the argument and trying to make it about religion. It's like you're all reading from the same book. Something by Dawkins would be my guess.

How do we *know* that I am wrong? "We" assumed it, didn't we? "We" assume a lot of things.

Thanks for getting off the point so let me help you get back on it. This is not science-v-religion. This is science-v-itself. I will not be drawn into arguing the virtues of the catholic church because that army of child molesters has none. All major scientific and educational institutions have come under insidious…

Ok, let's go to war. First volley: Insults do not refute my point. Second, how do you assess "my capabilities" from a single comment on the internet? Third, I'm not saying that "science always seeks the truth" but I have heard many people say that. Fourth, religion is not the opposite of science, though many are…

Hundreds of ancient cultures—most of whom had no knowledge of and nothing to do with the Bible, have reported that there was a world-wide flood from which EIGHT people and animals were saved in a boat. You can call it "crazy" because that it was so long ago that they must be wrong but you only look stupid doing so.
