Re: Religious Discussions

I've been on the internet way too long--I can't tell if that post is joking or not. It's got a winking smiley face, but I can't figure out if the winky smiley is being used ironically .

Re: Religious Discussions

You guys' posts are pretty interesting. It seems like you're all ignoring Ham's specific viewpoint of young Earth creationism and instead you're leaping over to whether Science and Religion can coexist, and that discussion is the one that isn't defined enough to make any sense. What do you mean by "...

Re: Religious Discussions

Debates like this are for convincing people who are on the fence, or are ignorant of the discussion, but are willing to be convinced by evidence . Cool. So these debates are totally relevant and approach the topic with total fairness, talking about the most important issues. Sure sure... They surel...

Re: Religious Discussions

The Ken Ham vs. Bill Nye is one of the worst debates in a while as both refuse to realize that they're in a DEBATE. However it's one of the most well-acted debates considering it has quite a group of followers who'll use portions of that debate to justify whatever formed opinion they have. Just a s...

Re: Religious Discussions

That slide is technically correct though. That slide isn't even metaphorically correct. Science is about constructing models that describe the evidence that's available to us from observing nature. Accusing scientists of the "religion" of naturalism (which is a horseshit description to begin with, ...

Re: RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman

This is still my favorite scene of his, even with all the other great stuff he did--hell, even Dusty from Twister was a memorable performance ("LLLLOOOOOOHHHHOOOSSEEERRSS"). PSH was great, I'll miss him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzY2pWrXB_0 "The only true currency in this bankrupt world is wha...

Re: HBO's True Detective

I disagree with the idea that nihilists can't care. Yeah, he may reject value and meaning but he cares because he's hardwired to care. I think it's more an act of acknowledgement than anything. His character sounds like more of a Cosmicist than a Nihilist, actually. Cosmicisim is the view that, fro...

Re: 'Man of Steel' sequel starring Ben Affleck as Batman (20

The rumor right now is that WB wants a black actor for the Luthor part. Also, comicbookmovie.com hilariously refers to Idris Elba as "African-American"---hahahahaa, holy shit.

Re: AMC's The Walking Dead

That baby needs to be dead. It's such a gut punch moment. Taking it back would just be weak writing. This gif-- http://i.imgur.com/0cT8KmW.gif --makes me think that that baby is almost certainly alive, and that Tyrese has her. I disagree that it would be weak writing, becuase It would not only esta...
