I'm telling you those that don't believe in science must stop taking ALL medication. it may take a while, but the prayer thumpers will slowly die out. and our little problem will be solved. I mean it's simple really.

They should stop driving and using electricity, too. Go live naked in the woods!

Whenever I hear such sayings I just laugh openly, as hearty as I can, with the biggest smile on my face, directly at them for a minute or two until they either: walk away, ask for an explanation, or get violent. Two of the responses lead to more laughing with a little 'ohhhh awwww' added in, the other leads to me explaining as best as I can 'truth' and how scientific 'truth' is as true as they come. Then I usually find a bong and smoke for a while so I forget the comment the person made so in the future I don't automatically judge them as useless when it comes to their mind.

Science isnt real? Hmm in that case take off your clohtes, your watch, glasses, any money you have, the keys to your car, your wife, your kids, your house, basically everyhting you own. Is all do to sciecne, and o that medicine u take to not die? Ya guess what we're taking that away too.

I seriously think people who say science isnt real need to be shot, or more humanly thrown to their own little island where they can practive what ever backwards shit they feel like

AtheistConvictX,
Just out of curosity, did she tell you what the "correct" answer was? And what does this have to do with finding employment? Are they hiring carperters to build a new ark?

I'd like it if they were, then we'd have a place to send Fred Phelps, Ray Comfort, Hovind, Robertson and a few others.

Make the call.

Anonymous may have a difficult time getting a job with his attitude, ignorance, and to top it off with delicious irony, arrogance. Anonymous can't differentiate between "hear" and "here," as evidenced by his title.

Anonymous can't spell "fascist," nor "furthermore."

How he/she would know anything about science when Anonymous couldn't demonstrate competent eighth grade composition is puzzling.

But a little profanity makes for brilliance, if you're an atheist.
Then toss in some bitter invectives attacking "fundies" just for "fun."

I was having a similar discussion a while back with my father in-law about science, the bible and how the two don't add up when my mother in-law walked in the room and said something along the lines of: "science is satan trying to get you to doubt". It's like Christians are programmed little drones that are only capable of spitting back cute little phrases instead of actually having an adult conversation. It makes you just want to pat them on the head and say, "there, there...now get the fuck outta here and let the adults have a conversation". Of course, I didn't say that...

This is what a person that has no evidence to back their claim in an invisible sky daddy resorts to when they don't have a valid argument. They try to divert the attention away form the topic at hand and focus on your personal flaws. It's known as an ad homenium fallacy.

Are you ever going to post something with a little substance, buddy? The majority of your posts are ad hominem attacks on various members of this board or on atheists in general. You attack his arrogance and yet that's all I've been hearing from you.

And stop bitching about the use of profanity and using it as an argument against atheists. They are just words for fucks sake.

Speaking of stupidity.......

I always chuckle when Christians spout vitriol and call me a "leftist". Hilarious. I'm not a "leftist", and even if I were, or were not, why on earth would I take that as derision?

Let us know when you've got something of substance to say, paucoremhominem.

Let me remind you all, this is a SCIENCE forum. Please gear your discussion toward that - all of you.

People who claim science isn't real make me wish telepathy was, so I could figure out what was going on in their heads. Maybe technology will allow that one day....

He never claimed to be a science expert. . . And since when would it take a science expert to know that it is not even semi-believable that this ficticious character noah, put two of every living organism on the planet into a rickety ass old boat. I would wonder what were his methods of gathering all of those animals? What about the microscopic "asexual" organisms that the break down the dead? How did he gather them? Was noah a scientist? He couldn't have been, because science tells us that god doesn't exsist.

Besides god chose the wrong method in killing off all of the life on the planet with a "flood" in the simple fact that water doesn't kill fish. Or maybe since i'm not a science expert i cant say that water doesn'y kill fish and sea life in general.

Plus, since there is no way that noah was a scientist, because it would demean his good, that would lead me to believe that he left all the organisms that decay extiguished life behind, and THAT would lead me to think that god killed them all off. And THAT doesn't hold water, (excuse the pun) because, if that were true then everything that live and died since then would be perfectly preserved and still available for us to view today. sadly, thats not the case. . . but if that were the case, we could sort through all carcasses and show you all the steps of evolution you bible thumping asshole.

that is in part why i said that. i just took it for granted since the bible has no mention of that. but yes, i do stand corrected somewhat, fore i couldnt find anything on the net that says the salt water marine life wouldnt be able to sustain life due to the water being over or under saturated if the whole planets echo system had been flushed.

would that include the ice caps? if so how did they all become frozen again? there was no ice age from the time of noah. . . was there?

But that would kill the freshwater fsh inland, not to mention fucking up the soil so nothing would ever grow anywhere (actually come to think of it, that would happen from a worldwide flood anyway!)

 

From my new series of MTG atheist/theist cards.... if anyone knows how to actually play this game, let me know... 

I'm so using that picture when I get the chance!

Working for the Target corporation while I finish my grad degree in neuroscience and having worked for other large companies and been to these bullshit orientation meetings, I completely understand.  Corporations are their own little odd fascist microcosms. 

 

They actually probably got this question from one of the commercial/internet silly questionnaires that is meant to promote "thinking" - because it was Noah and not Moses that built the ark. 

 

 Maybe in their world science "isn't real".  Some people cherish mystery and fantasy over (in their view) boring logic and quantification of the natural world.
