    I would like to state that sex is only one way in which cannibalistic acts try to justify themselves and that they are not sexy.

    It appears Jan believes facts are on his side and that the rest of us believe just as he does, but we're all suppressing and denying the "facts" of God and somehow we are forced to therefore believe in a scientific theory as a result.

    Science can put a iphone, computer and internet connection in Jan's hands for him to do as he pleases, and he rejoices. Yet, when science puts the evidence of evolution in his hands, he tosses it out like the baby in the bath water, and he rejoices in this stunning, mind-boggling display of hypocrisy.

    At least, we use our senses as opposed to fumbling about, blind, deaf and dumb.

    Whether I object or not, drinking blood is a carnivorous act. If it's of your own kind it's both carnivorous and cannibalistic.
    But in Church they drink wine, which a metaphor for blood, which is a metaphor for "seat of life" which is a metaphor for God. (unless you want kinky)

    Were approaching "megaphor" now. We're in the vicinity of megaphorhood..., want to add a few more metaphors?
    I think you would do well on America's got Talent . The world's greatest metaphorist without using a megaphone.
    I wonder if the first prize might be a metaphone, or perhaps a Walkie Talkie, then you could "walk the Walk" and "talk the Talk" at the same time.

    But as you have admitted, you don't know that God exists. You simply believe it - the same way you believe the Earth is round, but you don't know it.

    Because science and technology are the atheists contribution to the world. Right?

    Darwinism is only being kept alive because nothing satisfactorily can replace it.

    Sit down and take a deep breath, before you become completely unhinged.

    So Darwinism is like . . . oxygen?

    For atheists, yes.

    For everyone; you need oxygen too, even if you believe in God. (And you evolved the same way everyone else did.)

    I think we do know this firsthand, since we have the ability now to visualize earth through NASA's equipment.

    I'm not following, can you expand on this?
    Knowledge is usually based on facts, but I believe that one can have knowledge through faith. Do you agree?

    Agree in that it doesn't have to do with theism.

    I think many scientists would agree with you, here. In fact, many are fine saying ''we don't know what we don't know,'' while others take offense to religious people claiming the ''god of the gaps'' theory.

    What does the coin represent, do you think?

    It doesn't matter in the least who contributes to science, it is the height of willful hypocrisy and dishonest arrogance of those who reap the benefits of science when it suits their convenience while ignorantly shitting on it for fear of it cracking their fragile faith based egos.

    Astrophyics seems to back up your claim. So it's a strong position at the moment.

    Wrong! I even told you about the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, which of course did not even register in your closed mind. Fra Luca Pacioli invented double entry bookkeeping. I give monks of many denomination full credit for scientific inventions. Hell, whiskey was invented by Irish monks who were actually making perfume, but put that equipment to "better" use..

    I might add that nothing can replace it, because it is demonstrably true. They tried, but as with Newton, the only improvements on Darwin's original concept were more cosmetic than fundamental and more like polishing a diamond in the rough.
    https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/five-big-additions-to-darwins-theory-of-evolution

    These improvements were a result of better observational equipment and expanded knowledge from research based on Darwin's theory. The beauty of science is that it allows for improvement of an original but somewhat incomplete idea.

    If only you were open to such expanded knowledge and incorporate scientific truths into your belief but alas, for you Theism is a closed subject and you prefer to stand alone in the desert.

    I must confess, this exchange gives me a perverse kind of gratification. It's almost too easy......but if you can indulge, so can I, right......

    Jan believes he is a product of immaculate conception.

    And literally with our own eyes. A former teammate of mine, Mary Ellen Weber, was on two STS missions.

    Atheism is not at war with theism, theism is at war with atheism as you are clearly demonstrating. You don't see me on a theist site, do you?

    Don't blame your problems with science on atheists or atheism.
