fruitless battle for conventionally attractive women in video games

Why should there be any kind of battle for something that's perfectly fine? What a pathology...

That's a great point. Chicks with huge arms are essentially creations of steroid labs. Even then you need to be genetically responsive to the drugs.

It's still amazing to me that the Hodgetwins "say whatever we want" brand extended into Israel issues. "Free speech" mainstream influencers that actually speak their mind, unbelievable.

Yep, exactly. I dismissed the dancing Israeli story for a long time because it seemed too ridiculous to be true. When I finally looked into it, the Israelis in question were documented even as far as their names on a police report. I was pretty shocked. There was something going on between them, the US govt, the Saudis, and the Clean Break memo.

I already knew you believed in abiogenesis. It's the implications I'm interested about. Do you believe that good and evil truly exist? Or are you going to continue to dance around the question?

What do you have to say about the Jewish woman who introduced feminism to postwar Japan?

The origin of life and how it developed on Earth has nothing to do with my "belief system" allegedly having "no such thing as real good or evil". You're a very confused person.

Doesn't it? Someone who commits to abiogenesis usually has little use for a "God of the gaps," and morality is a baseless concept in existential materialism. But feel free to enlighten me.

At least have the balls to commit to it; say "since the Bible is right about people it's right about everything" not "if".

Do you need it spelled out? Yes, it is.

All the fossils, genetic drifts, computational evolution, and everything else: "devil planted it". Damn, that guy's a way harder worker, way more industrious than Santa Claus lol.

Genetic information modifying and degrading as it transfers between the generations is useful to understand in real time. There's no reason to marry that to the concept of nascent organs and zoological forms arising over millions of years - except the ideological reason.

“They saw the use of ‘BIPOC’ individuals as a handicap or unwelcome obstacle that could be disregarded if necessary and be evaded or overcome—even if it meant using underhanded and deceptive tactics,” the lawsuit stated. “Further, management at Al Roker Entertainment did not see the PBS DEI mandate as a requirement: It was a box to be checked in the most expedient manner possible.”

Lol uhhh based

Actually, I've given you a credible reason to trust the Bible that you seem to have ignored: it is the best (well, an inerrant) account of human nature, and the evidence for this stacks higher and higher each day. It prophesies severe consequences for those who turn away from God's natural order, and those consequences have come, a lot faster than even most Christians thought. If it was merely the writings of itinerant Mesopotamian tribesmen, that wouldn't be possible.

Simply put, genuine goodness comes from God, and the Bible safeguards it. This doesn't make sense to you, because in your belief system there is no such thing as real good or evil.

That's without getting into the fulfilled historical prophecies of Daniel 2, the fulfilled prophecies of Christ's first coming, the consistency and interconnection across thousands of years, and other demonstrations.

That's an arrant misreading of my post, but I do find it amusing your choice of insult is calling me one of the Four Horsemen of New Atheism. How far the mighty have fallen.

Look up Hackel, btw. You might learn something.

You may be able to convince logical normies, but don't cater to them, because existing as a normie in today's world is increasingly indicative of intellectual cowardice and suicidal stupidity, as the obviousness of what we're dealing with is becoming as hard to ignore as a freight train barreling toward us.

Well put...

On the contrary, I've been precise, and if you think I wrote "ontogeny" and "phylogeny" to play semantics... not my problem those words appear esoteric to you.

You're focusing on a so-called reality that would never be observable in the projected civilizational history of a species even if it existed, let alone our lifetimes. Meanwhile, the account of human nature in the Bible is proven more truthful by the day. New Atheism said it was a vestigial barbarism that was actually inimical to humanity. Instead, our society is in freefall without it. That's my point in looking at metaphysics. If the Bible is right about people, then what else is it right about? And why?

You say there's a "problem" with life starting with single cells, but what is the problem with that? There is no problem with that. In fact every human life starts with a single cell, and every animal life.

You did not just conflate ontogeny with phylogeny. Lol. Is your family name Haeckel by any chance?

FTFY. They can't accept reality, evolution, because then everybody wouldn't be a blank slate oppressed by society and gays would be a byproduct of when a delicate single to multi-cell growth process baked into our DNA 500 million years ago goes wrong.

In terms of scientific implications I agree, but I would actually say they're more responsive to reality than you in terms of metaphysics. When you are inculcated with existential materialism from birth, in a society where that is the dominant academic outlook, you realize on some level that existence itself is amoral and that meaning is purely constructed. From there it is a hop, skip, and a jump to reshape language, a human construction, in the way you see fit... among other things.

I can't speculate on why you in particular haven't succumbed to the solipsism of materialism, but it's clear you're an endangered species. For every one of you, there's five demented atheist liberals and maybe one or two that are going back to the right as they begin to accept the order impressed by God.

This is an acute insight into the problem. Me, myself, and mine is the attitude. People are capable of critical thinking to some extent when they're motivated, but most of the time they're not.

It's so fucking common sense you don't even need to look at genetics, but it's there to look at. Can an elephant impregnate a mouse? No, because they're not a compatible size and shape.

So obviously when things started to have different forms they're not going to even be compatibly shaped with most other creatures, so no sharing of genes back and forth, so more differences accumulating.

Yes lol, an elephant cannot impregnate a mouse. Things just started to have different forms. Presto!

But I do agree with you that it's funny watching people who formerly were totally on board with evolution v religion now saying "but there's only 30 million genetic differences between races!" when even a single base pair change can mean life or death.

Basically this, Dawkins' recent musings on Christianity, the Atheism+ civil war, and the rise of homos and trannies put the lie to the abiogenesis account of earth's history as a viable ontological principle. Once the last bastions of evangelical resistance in education were slain, the Christian cultural presence on the internet put to flight, the victors proceeded to enact mindboggling violations of humanity without precedent in recorded history... in only 10 years.

Easily explained by evolution creating basic structures in DNA that allow for rapid changes to form.

Homeobox genes are such a device and a few date back to pre-Paleozoic. Paleozoic starts with the Cambrian. These are responsible for basic symmetry and segments.

I'm aware of homeobox genes, but they just shift the problem to a different structure. It's still the same problem and the answer is still, "there's a lot we don't know, but we know it happened because all life developed from single cell organisms."

I sympathize with annoyance at the misdeeds of religious nuts but then again, I am one of them. As far as the other side goes, it's fascinating how Dawkins and company got everything they demanded in less than two decades of advocacy, only to reject it in horror, coming crawling back to "cultural Christianity" even in public.

I took that as Tucker calling BS on the Cambrian Explosion where all fundamental bodily forms just appear out of nothing in the fossil record.
