    In case you missed it, here is the recent debate I had on creation vs. evolution. I'll be releasing it soon as an episode of @RealAtheology too.

    Lol this isn’t in the New Testament. “Love thy neighbor” isn’t limited to those next-door. It’s a commandent to care for the well-being of others, regardless of who they are—a call to be self-less. American Christianity has become a rightwing accessory rather than a serious ethic

    JD VANCE: There is a Christian concept that you love your family and then you love your neighbor, and then you love your community, and then you love your fellow citizens, and then after that, prioritize the rest of the world A lot of the far left has completely inverted that

    Nuclear engineer here, I just want to remind everyone the half-life of Uranium is 4.5 billion years which is conveniently the same value the data from Earth and beyond has led to us to estimate the age of our planet. The Earth is not 6000 years old.

    There are no fossils that are millions of years old, because the earth is only around 6000 years old!

    Reminder: The Church of Satan's monument at the Iowa capital is a political statement. Vandalizing it is not only a crime, it reminds us (1) "religious liberty" is a one-sided principle for Christian conservatives and (2) "courage" and "stupidity" are often indistinguishable.

    Suppose God exists. We act as we do because of how God created us. We cannot deserve punishment from God unless we can be ultimately responsible for how God created us. We cannot be ultimately responsible for how God created us, therefore, we cannot deserve punishment from God.

    You'd think "the world's highest IQ record holder" would know what a valid argument looks like, yet here we are.

    As the world’s highest IQ record holder, I trust this logical conclusion: 1) The Bible is the ultimate truth. 2) The Bible declares that God created only two genders. 3) Therefore, every other gender is a human invention or sci-fi concept.

    Nuclear engineer here, Nuclear power is a good thing. Any serious solution to climate change involves it. The risks involved with nuclear power are low (look it up!). The biggest barriers are initial costs and stubborn (incorrect) public perceptions about the risks of radiation.

    My most correct stubborn opinion is that nuclear power is bad.

    If only there were an obvious counter example. *checks notes* We have the right to an attorney, and if we cannot afford such services, one will be provided to us.

    I am once again reminding #Hollywood it's not too late for a biopic about #Hegel played by Werner Herzog.

    Most scientists and historians agree Noah's flood was not a historical event. There is no geological, genetic, or logistical evidence to support it. It likely reflects a mythologized local flood similar to other ancient Near Eastern flood stories like Gilgamesh, Atrahasis, etc.

    I am once again reminding everyone that many (maybe most?) scientists conduct their experiments and present their results with little to no consideration of their underlying philosophical assumptions.

    ngl, this kind of attitude bugs me a lot. Scientists are absolutely the ones that understand science and the "evidential support it provides". That's the whole point.
