Evolution is a readily verifiable fact, the theory part is we derived from a common ancestor. Religion, as we see it, is easily refuted even biblical scholars point out the blatant errors in the bible. But to take a point and use it to refute the whole idea is a logical absurdity, OTOH given my...
There are always fudge factors when attempting to apply it to reality, but I definitely concede the point. My issue with all knowledge is the limitation of the observation, just a physical chemist's distorted view of reality.
Yes, too many people treat science as if it is a religion. Of course Aristotle was wrong, so were all who came after. Even our current theories are flawed in some manner, does that make them not useful? Science is flawed in the sense that it's a tool which describes human thought rather than...
<- 2 years of grad school in applied physics.
What are your credentials?
No one wants to argue the points, just attack the person? Shocking!
EDIT: Einstein believed in God.
EDIT2: I have to go to work, so I won't be able to stick around to educate you on thinking for yourselves and not...
A friend tells me I have bad taste in rap because I prefer old school (NWA is comedic genius), Nate Dog/Warren G, or NAS to what he considers more hardcore rappers like Jay-Z. I may have lost a friend when I also described ICP as a certain part of a female's anatomy, not that I mind honestly.
That's not an argument against the unmoved mover, which is a thought experiment. It's a question of faith and speculation on your part that the solution to the question will be purely scientific.
How is an arrow refuting Aristotelian physics? Have you ever studied physics?
What an elegant, detailed solution to a philosophical question unresolved since Aristotle.

You must be a super geneyus.
I look at faith like this. We've convinced ourselves that we have thought and reason, why couldn't some other apparently animated complex chemical factory do likewise? On a large enough scale, couldn't that be what people would call God?
Then there's the principle of the unmoved mover. All...
Just talk to the creationists. Basic Darwin is irrefutable, and we've seen evolutionary events in our lifetimes (bacteria become resistant to treatment). If they're not stupid, and most really aren't just misguided, they'll never bother you again.
Fossils were placed there to confuse the...
In my experience drug approvals and regulations are more lax in Canadia. They're moving towards FDA level regulation, but the US makes companies jump through crazy hoops. For method validations, which is my background, Canadia's requirements for drug substances (APIs) are comparable to what the...
I was thinking the same thing. Living for the City has a darkness to it, but I wouldn't call it dark unless you consider Michael Jackson dark. And Otis Redding? lol.
Maybe Billy Holliday who is sort of a cross between Blues and Jazz (Lady Sings the Blues). Raped at age 11, a prostitute at age...
Miles Davis is Jazz, but Kind of Blue is one of the best albums ever.
Some dark classical like Goethe Lieder or most things Wagner. Some really dark rap, too.
No...
I used to study in school. I put myself through, you'd get these guys who were threatened with good grades. They'd say, oh, I only made a C but I don't study or some BS like that. They were also the ones interested in who got the highest grades on tests (I kept quiet but I liked to mess...
