I am walking along a road and someone stops me and says that there is a tarackaz in the road. I say that all I see is the road and nothing else. Must I prove that there is no tarackaz in the road first before I disprove that there is no tarackaz in the road? Only once a tarackaz has been...

You can’t say something is “real”, and then claim it exhibits none of the properties of any other real objects, and can’t ever be examined or analysed empirically. That’s pretty much a good definition of “not real”. --- PZ Myers One of the few things he ever said that makes sense.

What is that saying? To find out who wants to rule you, look to who you are not allowed to criticise.

It seems that this T-Shirt made a "famous" skeptichick cry and run home early from TAM. I think that maybe it was a bit irrational and over dramatic, but then that is me being a male, what do I know. For an unbiased report on these events, have a look here...

What would the experiment be? Or what question would be asked? As a non scientist, I would think that you would have to be able to determine the type of harm, and then show that this harm actually occurs after the porn is brought into play. Some of things that would have to be noted is the...

Sticks, I sell pointy sticks, cheap and usable.

I read the title of the thread as Offensive Billboards and Atheism.

Re: ** STICKY ** Funny Pictures v2: "OMG NEW THREAD!" Editio Now that would be better if you used a Qur'an.

I know it's sort of hopeless, but maybe those of us who care, could pm this message of PZ's to various cretins on facebook and other social networks. Especially those creationist face book pages, just send the Emma message as a pm to them, and maybe one of us will hit gold.

My beef with miracles is how do they happen. You know the whole "What type of energy was used in what focus for how long at what intensity" type of thing. It's because they do not understand how reality works, ie science, that they feel the need to make stuff up.

I know you all know this, but HE is a president of a country. That means I believe some few dozen people actually voted for him. Okay, I know George Bush, but those were Americans....:D

Re: Extinction Levels - Which species, plant or animals are Because they are never willing to limit themselves to save teh animals. One asks for workable solutions to the valid problems that they point out, and they have no clue how to solve them, and usually have never bother to even attempt...

in other words, you all do not agree with me and are closed minded, right?

The problem here, I think is you did not explain and push what you meant by How. Yes, it's a long process describing the steps that Jesus and his body would have to take to be able to walk on water. You would need to cover things such as gravity, water surface tension, speed of movement, energy...

Of course it's medieval, it's Islam, a religion therefore not subject to change or criticism. But before anyone rushes off to attempt to correct their mistakes, remember that chances are your posts will be deleted or modified, if you become to much of a problem to the owner of the channel.

That is the major problem with all religions, you are not allowed to look behind the curtain. I have asked religious folk, if they have ever wonder how their gods/avatars did their magic tricks (that been an offensive term for some reason) and they admit that they have never even given it a...

One could suggest that it's the years on unlearning, 1400 in total, that makes them copy the Christian version, if one was unkind and rude.

Re: Extinction Levels - Which species, plant or animals are So does anyone have a workable solution? What would that look like, in terms of cost and duration? Or is everyone just making noise to show that they too care about the problem? One of my bugbears about this topic, is those folk who...

Re: Extinction Levels - Which species, plant or animals are What gets me about this stuff, is that it's supposed to be science, not best guesses based on agendas. If you had to ask just about any "environmentalist" to name the species that have gone extinct they would have a tough time...

Everybody hears/knows that species are dying off at an alarming rate, for whatever cause. My question is which species are they? I mean the ones that have gone extinction in the last say five to ten years, can anyone provide a list of these 100's of species that are no longer on this earth...
