You didn't mention creationism. I did.
Is it that you don't have the balls to make a claim on something without fact, or what?
Where did I mention creationism? I addressed abortion. Paul is not an evolutionary biologist. I don't expect him to know any more about evolution than an evolutionary biologist would know about OBGYN.

i'm a member of MENSA, are you?
I don't believe that faith is an indicator of lack of intelligence, just that it can(and is, all the time) be used to contol stupid people by very smart people who have alterior motives, most of which are in the best interest of only a select few.
These things could be prevented if more people would encourage their children to think freely instead of indoctrinating them with some sort of nonsense.
This is because a correlation is not a cause.
!!!IRONY ALERT!!!You atheists are trying to come to basically scientific conclusions about a certain group of people
The chart I posted was generated by this scientific experiment (or semblance thereof)without actually conducting a scientific experiment, or any semblance of a scientific experiment.

No idea what your point is. And I'm sick of trying to sift through all of the incoherent you've been saying since post 1.
They're not mutually exclusive.
if we were discussing "The Bell Curve" would you be willing to split the same hair? The intelligence of various racial groups should be empirically verifiable, right?
it's an empirical question, right? nothing at all bigoted about it.
are there measurable differences in human intelligence correlated with race?
I think that's been done already.
generalizing about intelligence on the basis of degree of religiosity is not really distinguishable from that
That rationale appears to balance precariously atop a very slippery slope. I've always believed the strongest pro-abortion argument lies specifically with the rights of the woman to NOT have to carry a parasite, be it human or not.
Not adherents to the above logic. Our president, many other politicians, The National Organization for Women included.I'm against late abortion... everyone is.
How very enlightened of you. What do you propose "Creationists" or "Deists" think the brain is?I don't believe in a soul because I understand that the brain is the computer behind everything we perceive.
Is there a measure of human competence equivalent to "Base Reptilian"? I am not aware of it. Fascinating standard you have set, however. What do you think of mean kids who pull tails off of lizards?Until the brain can function on a human level, or even a base reptilian level, it does not understand it's existence.
That slope is covered in greased silicone.So if we can avoid bringing in a life that has no good base upon which to learn and grow, then it should be aborted before it is alive. Once it is alive, it is murder.
Theism just refers to belief in god/gods, not supers ions, karma, or any other sort of new age-y belief you want to stuff in there.
How do you know it was me? How do you know you weren't hallucinating, or that this is all a dream?We've met and you are nowhere near 20 feet tall.I cannot prove there is an after life but you cannot prove there isn't one. Simple as that. All this other talk still leads to the same conlusion that there is no proof either way and that is a fact.
I can't prove there is no afterlife, and I have no problem with people who believe in one. More power to them. But just because one can't disprove the existence of something doesn't justify belief. (ie. invisible pink unicorn/flying spaghetti monster)
A problem with this definition is that even a baby doesn't have self-recognition for a few months. We'd probably all agree that killing a one-week-old baby is murder though.
You're a moron and disgrace to Latino people everywhere (based on that radio call in). Evolved from a snail? Are you this stupid on that subject?
Jesus was a great guy, fantastic to admire him. It doesn't mean you have to become a cult like moron.
Plenty of people still believed in a higher natural or spiritual order and law of things and accept evolution.
Endogenous retroviruses were planted by the devil obviously.
It really doesn't matter whether any of you guys agree or not. Science isn't exactly a democracy, unless it's corrupted.
Some Christians and religious people are great to get along with, some aren't. Especially the ones that knock on your door when you're trying to get stuff done. My favorite part is that tell you about the sky wizard loves you, but will punish you for eternity if you do certain things. Sounds like a dysfunctional marriage/
Same things goes with atheists (not so much agnostics), evolution is not meant to be a subs ute religion. It's meant to be a basis for scientific result. If you take it to the extreme to point out that it says their is no GOD/Sky wizard/etc, which it really doesn't say much about, that may deem you an asshole.
You can still have a governing law/authority/en y and evolution, but that's too much middle ground for many.
Bible God apparently hates atheists more than anyone else.
by my reading of the OT, worshippers of false gods got it worse
When these metaphysical arguments enter court rooms is when I have a problem.
True, they did get it worse in those days.
I see Jesus using you here to spread the good word.and you are?
you athiest slingers want it your way or the high way, and if someone else disagrees then they're just ignorantand keeping mankind from progressing
just admit that you hate religion and get it off your chest.
Christian accountant boss
you seem to have a problem with it here, too
so then, your generalization about "Bible God" hating atheists worst of all was more or less fantasized, wasn't it?
