    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Okay; I want to revisit this theory of evolution.

    If man evolved from monkeys as the theory goes, why didn't the OTHER monkeys and apes evolve?

    If man is causing global warming, as the quacks claim, why did the planet warm and freeze several times before man ever invented the gasoline combustible engine?

    You're gonna have to ban a hell of a lot more pinhead liberals if you want a civil discussion on any topic....
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    LOL, true. Actually, I just wanted to post what an actual civil discussion LOOKS like to those who see it as a foreign thought.

    I loved how he put the quality of intellectualism and scientific study on climate at the bottom rung of the ladder of actual physics discussions.

    I disagree w/ the basic premise, that the scientific community has opined that if their theories are true, religion must be false (if I'm reading that correctly).

    Many scientists ARE religious; some have spoken about their pursuits as ultimately searching for god and an explanation for the universe. I always reject the premise that belief in evolution & abiogenesis are inconsistent w/ a belief in god & religion.

    They are you, moron.
    We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
    Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
    Ergo, religion.

    Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
    If the answer is yes, you are a racist.

    As Berlinski pointed out...there's big gubment money to be made with those studies.

    There is nothing civil or intellectual in a discussion about evoulution from a religious nut job.
    You premise is based on savage first century magical thinking that requires a level of insanity to buy into.
    You are hopelessly out of touch with reality.

    It's apparently difficult for YOU, not for Berlinski.

    Because that isn't how evolution works.

    How does the THEORY of evolution square with religious beliefs?
