I have said this before:

See:  Humans May Be the Only Intelligent Life in the Universe, If Evolution Has Anything to Say

I like the intro that says that Humans are pack animals and make a majority of their decisions through a small part of the brain that

are very primal.

The late evolutionary biologist, Stephen Jay Gould, noted that death is one of the drivers of evolution. If organisms didn't die… There would be no evolution.

 

Shouldn't you guys be storming the Capital ?

Wow, I would hate to be someone less than 75 living in the USA. Well, at least me, Trump and Biden will be ok.

At what age do you tell a child that they are going to eventually die to support evolution?

Joseph Smith, Jr., the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS, or Mormons), claimed that after both God the Father and Jesus Christ visited him in 1820, an angel named Moroni, an ancient Nephite warrior, visited him in the fall of 1823. Smith was told by Moroni how he had buried gold plates fourteen centuries earlier not far from the Smith farm near Palmyra, New York. The angel said that they contained a record of ancient inhabitants and the “source from whence they sprang.” Smith claimed he was prohibited from retrieving the gold record for another four years. The story of the gold plates is an absolutely essential part of the Mormon narrative, for in the eyes of many Latter-day Saints, the coming forth of this record, and its subsequent translation into the Book of Mormon, legitimizes their belief that Smith was indeed a prophet sent by God to restore the true Christian faith lost long ago due to a “great apostasy.” The story of the gold plates cannot be underestimated, for without them there can be no Book of Mormon. 

I don't know, we don't have any video recordings.  As my first cousin once removed said,  “The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish.”

 They just made it up years later.

Yes, the same as my 7 year old cousin that died from cancer.

Christianity came about the same way as the Mormon Church. The Mormon movement began with the publishing of the Book of Mormon in March 1830, which Smith claimed was a translation of golden plates containing the religious history of an ancient American civilization that the ancient prophet-historian Mormon had compiled. Smith claimed that an angel had directed him to the golden plates buried in the Hill Cumorah On April 6, 1830, Smith founded the Church of Christ. In 1832, Smith added an account of a vision he had sometime in the early 1820s while living in Upstate New York. Some Mormons regarded this vision as the most important event in human history after the birth, ministry, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

It's too bad they didn't have smart phones 2000 years ago.

Quantum Leap is a great TV show.

Remember that Athias said Beliefs are always true.

Like the past belief that the Earth was flat?

I think it only takes an IQ of 110 to understand this.

Moral disagreement is a difference of belief about strongly held convictions. Convictions occur on a continuum—mild, moderate, strong conviction, and moral certainty. Some persons are morally uncertain and others morally certain. This uncertainty and certainty many times (but not always) evolves into moderate conviction. Morally certain persons are more likely to remain absolutely convinced. Person’s beliefs about one issue does not always apply to other issues. One can be morally certain about one issue but uncertain about others. And yet, some persons are morally certain or uncertain about a variety of issues.

Life has no meaning. I don't know why the poor (worth less than $300 million) even want to live.

I spent a lot of time in Diego Garcia. I am an expert marksman.

Well, you are obviously not a buttmaggot.

This fully explains it:

  Well stated.

OBTW, I have a Harvard COOP Card.

Research has long underscored the negative effects of spanking on children's social-emotional development, self-regulation, and cognitive development, but new research shows that spanking alters children's brain response in ways similar to severe maltreatment and increases perception of threats.

It only took 234 years for this to happen.

Democrat Gabe Amo defeated Republican Gerry Leonard to win Rhode Island’s 1st Congressional District seat Tuesday, becoming the state’s first Black candidate elected to Congress.

 Blacks represented 13.2% of the total population in the United States, but 23.8% of the poverty population. 

In Spanish one is uno. Number systems have progressed from the use of fingers and tally marks, perhaps more than 40,000 years ago, to the use of sets of glyphs able to represent any conceivable number efficiently. The earliest known unambiguous notations for numbers emerged in Mesopotamia about 5000 or 6000 years ago.

We assign a single object as one object, Add another object and that is 2 objects. We developed numbers to

define quantities.

Math comes from logic. Put 2 carrots down and then put another 2 carrots down. Now count the total number of carrots. That is how math started.

It's important that we keep this topic on the front page of DebateArt. 

In 2016, scientists announced they had directly detected gravitational waves, literal ripples in the fabric of spacetime. It was a huge validation of Einstein’s work, which had predicted their existence almost exactly 100 years prior. The find also heralded a new era of astronomy, as researchers now have a new way to study the Universe.

I think BrotherD is a Master debater. Praise the Lord !

If you look at this topic ( https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/9393-consent-and-antinatalism) you see that this women is far more intellectual

than most of the men here. The future of DebateArt depends on intellectual discussions.

I bring this topic up to show what an intellectual discussion looks like.

This is why we need intelligent women back on this site.

Donald Trump took credit in May for the elimination of Roe v. Wade, embracing his role in selecting the Supreme Court justices who were instrumental in ending the half-century precedent that protected abortion rights nationwide.
“After 50 years of failure, with nobody coming even close, I was able to kill Roe v. Wade, much to the ‘shock’ of everyone,” Trump, the former president and front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination, said on his social media platform.

Mineral-laden water emerging from a hydrothermal vent on the Niua underwater volcano in the Lau Basin, southwest Pacific Ocean. The microorganisms that live near such plumes have led some scientists to suggest them as the birthplaces of Earth's first life forms. Let's keep things in prospective.

Life is an accident.

Since taxpayers will ultimately be responsible for both the $31 trillion federal debt and $163 trillion Social Security and Medicare unfunded liabilities, the present value of those two combined is about $572,000 for every man, woman and child in America — all 330 million of them.

In a statement to Reuters  Pennsylvania officials explained that most ballot applications are automatically verified by cross-reference with the Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE). In some circumstances, applications require further identity verification, and as of Oct. 28, 2022 there were about 7,600 such applications. While the law requires the state to mail ballots for which identity verification is incomplete, these cannot be included in the final vote count if they remain unverified.

There are 8.7 million people registered to vote in Pennsylvania.

In 2020 the vote count was   Biden       3458229

                                                          Trump      3377674

                                                          Jorgensen   79380

 Donald Trump addressed the Iowa crowd, saying, "Very big hello to a place where we've done very well. Sioux Falls, thank you very much, Sioux Falls. And thank you."
Sioux Falls is in South Dakota, not Iowa.
