I don't know if you're trying to denounce the scientific theory of evolution or if the question you're really trying to get at is, "What is the universally applicable cosmic meaning of our existence?" If it's the latter. then I'd suggest to

Maybe we're not seeing eye to eye on what was being said. erikpukinskis defined faith as "unexamined, culturally imprinted beliefs". Okay, fine. Then he states that atheists imagine they are free of those. crasshopper's comment basically me

So you have defined faith as the thing that fills the gap between the amount of confidence we can reasonably have in a proposition based on evidence/knowledge and the amount of confidence we would like to have. Let me be the first to rush t

You're playing a semantic game with the word faith here that makes it indistinguishable from the word "believe" in every single one of its definitions. A typical next step from there is to equate an atheist's acceptance of a scientifically

It doesn't matter where you think the goalposts should be. Moving them in order to make a counterpoint is a fallacy.

by sofal 16y ago
You've moved the goalposts considerably with your definition of faith being merely a reasonable acceptance of a proposition based on evidence. This is far from the prescribed as well as the descriptive definition of faith.

Wait, is this still considered unique and outside-the-box? I must be living on the edge.

Okay I got up to 175 lbs for squats and then I started getting a severe, stabbing pain in my knee when I did them. Seems to me that squats are not so good for my knees. Leg press does not give me this problem. Additionally, I've been doing

How many of us who got picked on would have had the guts to follow this advice anyway? I don't think that many of these kids have anything that they are holding back for lack of better advice, as if they can calmly choose their reaction whe

I really don't want to sound like some drive by detractor on the Internet, so let me explain where I'm coming from. I was that 10 year old kid. I had a junior black belt in karate at around 12 years old. My dad really kind of enjoyed it vic

What in the hell? How is this believable and usual? I have been living under a rock. Is this seriously what typically goes on at drinking parties?

It's only a scam if you fail. So it's not a scam if you make money off it?

Does the logic for these text-processing tasks change a lot and that's why you need a higher level language for them?

Google Code Search anybody? If the answer can be gleaned from source code, you can still Google it. I use GCS often to look for examples of using a particular library or function.

I think people who write typical academic papers actively break almost every one of those rules.

I solved most of my graduate algorithms problems while lying in bed in the morning, lying on the couch, or in the shower. I simply do not understand how some people can concentrate on problems like that while jogging. My thoughts while jogg

When you ask how you get an “A,” they’re likely to be annoyed because you’re indicating you don’t care about learning, which is the best way to earn an A. I cannot stand it when a professor says that the best way to get an A is to learn.

There is another approach to a PhD that this article did not mention. A couple of my friends are doing a PhD with the aim to be professors at much lower ranked universities where the research pressure isn't so high and the emphasis is more

I don't think pg's argument relies on an objective definition of bad. The subjective one works fine. After all, the subject might be wrong! "Wrong" being subjective, of course.

The title of her blog, not the title of her post. The title of her blog is: Hyperbole and a Half. A hyperbole is an exaggeration or overstatement in order to achieve a desired effect, like comedy. I downvoted your comment because it was ver

Try not to zero in on the specific 'bank' example she used. She probably only used it because 'bank' is one of the first things that came to her mind when thinking of 'responsible adult stuff'. The examples she gave were exaggeratedly simpl

If God is not real, how can we explain the existence of so many counterfeits? Is this not the perfect example of begging the question? In order to be a counterfeit for God, a non-counterfeit God would have to exist. Most of the 529 gods
