Affiliation and belief are two different things. It's possible to be a religious believer but not be affiliated with any organized religious...
That's a pretty idealized view of science. Max Planck famously wrote in his Scientific Autobiography published in 1948, a year after his death...
It seems to me that a prerequisite for learning is the ability to perceive questions that still need answers. And that implies that one mustn't...
Who has even suggested that? It looks like a caricature. So why don't atheists like you simply accept the facts of divine creation?? Probably...
I asked "Why isn't ID science? And what would it imply if ID indeed isn't science?" If one asks "What explains the observed orderliness and seeming...
Good little diversion there. I don't believe in ID/creationism. I'm an agnostic in the broad sense that I don't have the answers to the big...
Sure it does, if chemistry and biology are turned into rhetorical engines of metaphysical naturalism and hence atheism. If adherence to a particular...
I asked "Why isn't ID science? And what would it imply if ID indeed isn't science?" Repeating your disdain for ID doesn't answer the questions that...
You had earlier written, "It's also possible, I think, that we already have enough information to solve the problem highly satisfactorily." So what...
I'm not convinced that was its original intention. And there isn't really anything preventing you or anyone else from writing whatever biochemical...
If the question of the emergence of homochirality is a subject deserving of ridicule, then I wonder why it's such an active area of scientific...
How would we ever know whether we had indeed solved the problem? It seems to me that the best we can do is concoct hypotheses that seem plausible...
It will be strange. I can't really name any movies that came out in the last year. I certainly never saw any of them. My guess is that most of...
At least not straight forwardly. But they certainly imply that they do when they ridicule theists and compare belief in God to belief in Santa Claus,...
Yes, I by and large agree. I think that I would say that atheism is an ontological belief, a belief that 'God' does not exist. And agnosticism...
I asked Paddoboy, "Why must the true answer to life's origins be "scientific"?" Write4U pops in with: You write that like that's something that...
For several years, Larry Ellison had his America's Cup racing yacht in the lagoon at (what will soon be the former) Oracle headquarters not far from...
Simply observing that life appears to have had an initial origin doesn't even start to answer the question of the nature of that origin. It's not an...
How is "it happened, somehow" a solution to life's origins? How does saying that life appears to have had an origin leave people any more...
In response to Paddoboy trying to set up his false dichotomy, I asked, "So what's wrong with just admitting that nobody currently knows how life...
