Hey random Facebook idiot, don’t you think God would have given you a working brain if he were truly amazing?

Notice this was posted Sunday at 11am, I bet she was told this at church and found it so inspiring she had to share it with the world.

Euthyphro’s Dilemma summed up nicely

Every once in a while Plato would write something with which I can actually agree. Here’s one of such things.

A fun read!

Here’s the section on evolution:

• The word theory in the theory of evolution does not imply doubt from mainstream science regarding its validity; the concepts of theory and hypothesis have specific meanings in a scientific context. Whiletheory in colloquial usage may denote a hunch or conjecture, a scientific theory is a set of principles that explains observable phenomena in natural terms.^[148][149] Evolution is a theory in the same sense as germ theory, gravitation, or plate tectonics.^[150] (See Objections to Evolution.)
• Evolution does not claim humans evolved from monkeys,^[151] chimpanzees^[152] or any other modern-day primates. Instead, fossil evidence has shown that humans and monkeys share a common ancestor that lived about 40 million years ago.^[153] This common ancestor diverged into separate lineages, one evolving into so-called New World monkeys and the other into Old World monkeys andapes.^[154] Humans are included in the Homindae family of apes, which also includes chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans. Similarly, the common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees, which lived between 5 and 8 million years ago, evolved into two lineages, one eventually becoming modern humans and the other splitting again into chimpanzees and bonobos.^[151] Thus, one cannot consider any present-day monkeys or apes as reflecting how humans “used to look” or behave. All extant animal groups have evolved over the same amount of time.
• Evolution is not a progression from inferior to superior organisms, and it also does not necessarily require an increase in complexity (see evolution of complexity). A population can evolve to become simpler, having a smaller genome, but devolution is a misnomer.^[155][156]
• It is a common misconception, even among adults, that humans and dinosaurs (in the ordinary sense of the term) coexisted. According to the California Academy of Sciences, around 41% of U.S. adults mistakenly believe they co-existed.^[157] The last of the dinosaurs died around 65 million years ago, after the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event, whereas the earliest Homo genus (humans) evolved between 2.3 and 2.4 million years ago.

I fucking love Canada!

The atheist group behind last year’s controversial bus ads suggesting “there’s probably no God” is rolling out a provocative new set of posters on buses across the country that places Allah beside Big Foot and Christ beside psychics.

The new posters bear the slogan: “Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence” with “Allah, Big Foot, UFOs, Homeopathy, Zeus, Psychics, Christ” listed below.

It’s nice to see atheists getting into the festive spirit around the world!

Cold season is upon us, and the constant advice you will hear from doctors and friends it to keep washing your hands. Everyone claims they do, but do they really? A recent study found that although most people claim to wash their hands after dirty activities, when you observe them in person, the story (especially for men) is a little different.
