Greetings,
Flat-Earthers aren't an homogenous group.
Some are so due to being Creationists: believing that the biblical account - with its geocentrist cosmology - is literally true.
Others have a considerable distrust of the government, and take anything as evidence that the government is...
Greetings,
Although this is an old thread, it's an important topic due to the difficulty of addressing both Flat Earthers and Geo-centrists, since they refuse to accept evidence from modern technology - photos/videos from space, lasers bounced off a mirror on the Moon (no Moon landings!), etc...
Greetings,
You assume a deity exists - we don't. It's for you to provide evidence that it does.
You;re attempting to avoid doing so by saying that it's "not particularly useful" to question the deity's existence by asking for evidence.
Most religions have texts, not just the monotheistic...
Greetings,
Happy New Year to everyone!
As has been pointed out by others, it's not for atheists to prove a negative - that a deity doesn't exist - but for believers to prove that one does.
There are two types of deities - theistic (interactive) and deistic (non-interactive)
Religions all...
Greetings,
The creationists can always claim that "mitochondrial Eve" is the same as the biblical one - even though the time-frame (millions versus thousands of years) don't match.
He did correlate the 4 Homo species with the four gene pools - but then said that he wasn't claim that that was...
Greetings,
Very rarely [1] - in humans. mtDNA is virtually always passed down through the maternal line, in the same way that the Y-chromosomal DNA is passed down through the paternal line.

Greetings,
The three sons have the same mtDNA from their mother - the three wives are each separate mtDNAs, hence four all told.

Greetings,
Given our brains are pattern-recognition systems, it's not surprising that we can fall down the proverbial rabbit hole - we see patterns everywhere, real or imagined (hence why we see Jesus in toast, etc).
We also see correlations - patterns - in data and events, which can result in...
Greetings,
It refers to mitochondrial DNA - there are basically four mtDNA lines: Mrs Noah's (through her three sons), and the three wives.
Kindest regards,

Greetings,
I thought it might be a case of redesigning your website though was worried that it might be something else.
Glad to see you're alright - take care of yourself, one can only take so much "fuckwittery" before it gets too much ("the stupid - it hurts!"). ;)
Kindest regards,

Greetings,
Regardless, whether you live or merely work somewhere, if you breach ordinances/laws relating to noise and/or disorderly conduct, said laws will apply to you.
I couldn't claim they don't apply to me because, "I'm a tourist!", could I?
So ... does that mean you work in Texas and...
Greetings,
There should be a legal requirement for states to maintain up-to-date "history of violence" (both criminal and mental health problems known to be associated with violence) databases, so that FFLs like yourself will know - on the spot - whether a customer is eligible or not to...
Greetings,
What's that got to do with it?
Whether it's federal law or not, there are ordinances (non-federal) relating to noise in various places, at various times of day or night, as I pointed out.
In one of your posts, you accidentally "doxed" yourself ( :eek: My standards!) by saying...
