“and knowing ghosts don’t exist, yet at times still feeling that they do because imagination is real.”

So. You're relying on a simplified high-school definition of evolution, while simultaneously claiming to refute the logic of those who have actually studied it and advanced the field. From where do you get your information on probability and the nature of mutation? You seem to be ignoring the enormity of geological…

I think it's the public nature of the complaints that's most irritating. Simultaneously announcing a windfall, while bemoaning your benefactor without a shred of embarrassment. What we really need is more guns.

Attention: this is indeed satire:

Thanks, very much. :)

I appreciated your thoughtful reply, but I had intended this as satire; specifically relating to an io9 piece published earlier this year. I suppose you could consider it a poe.

I think this is a bit misleading, and the potential implications born out have not been explored in the comments. For instance: Is an entire universe being simulated? From inception, to heat death? Is it being deliberately fine tuned with life, or specifically us in mind? Is the focus us the study cosmological…

Yes, we called it Auschwitz.

So. You decimated my coffee. Thanks for that.

Damn dude.

I appreciate your nuanced approach. The fact is, 'Atheist' tends to be too broad a descriptor to encompass the diversity of thought within this group.

No no no no. Behaving like them would involve making unsupported claims about the nature of the universe and its supposed creator, whilst simultaneously decreeing verisimilitude in moral and legal issues effecting everyone.
