Re: Faith and Reason
Robert, wonderful to see you again friend. I hope to come back with nearly as much commentary as I have made before. Hopefully the trollish arguments have calmed down a bit this time around.

Re: Burden of Proof Fallacy
To make a positive claim that a God absolutely does or does not exist seems to go outside what the terms of theism or atheism actually hope to define. Theism and atheism as defined words seek to answer the question of belief claims. If you believe in a God you are a theist; if you don't believe you ...

Re: Faith and Reason
In the philosophy of science and religion, one of the leading great thinkers of the modern enlightenment, the Scottish philosopher David Hume, made a number of astute logical perceptions.

Re: Assuming evolution is factual, what do you think is the next step in our evolution?
There is a difference between the FACT of evolution, which is the tested fact discerning the growing, adaptation, and outward cropping of new species of life, and the THEORY of evolution, which is man's continuing study of the fact. There's a neat youtube video which briefly discusses it here: http...

Re: I'm back :)
I feel bad about the whole ant debacle, and I should not have responded to his insults and idiocracy. When you're an emotional college student it is hard to keep from preserving your pride. That's a large reason why I left for a while; but now I am back, and hopefully this time around things will be...

Re: Money is speech and corporations are people
Umm, Im really missing something here. I have some familiarity with corporations and their legal standing. LLC's are not "people" and are specifically created to protect personal assests. What are you getting at? We're not saying that they are people in actuality. But they are often treat...

Re: Money is speech and corporations are people
Just because the letter of the law doesn't designate corporations as people perse, doesn't mean that they aren't treated as such by practice of the media and the courts. On paper you can have all the ideals you want--it's when the cards are on the table and the lawyers are done hamming it up, that's...
