Pigeonholes, natch.

You're effectively saying that your religious beliefs should be "sacred" because they're a matter of faith. I don't agree. I think that your beliefs need to be challenged especially because they are...

I don't think so. In fact, I'm fairly certain that most scientists are atheists or agnostics. Here's a reprint of a follow-up to a Nature study, in which only 7% of "leading scientists" show belief...

This is a classic argument, given by religious scientists, and even often by non-religious scientists.

Over the years, I've come to believe that it isn't true: Science and religion are...

Hehe. Good one.

What makes you think this is true? The only reference to him on that website is the article above, which it clearly states it has taken from somewhere else.

It seems to me that you're grasping at...

Whoops!

Ok. New an correct score max: 18.

Bad, in other words...

Which direction is that? In 3 dimensions any vector in a certain plane would be perpendicular to their direction of travel...

Depends. Where is your detector?

Not so. If you shine a flashlight...

38 on third try (had to get the hang of tabbing and entering...)

Seems to be simple additions/multiplication tables stuff. Frankly, I think stuff like Sudoku is far better at training your logic...

The Institute for Historical Review aren't exactly known for their credibility, you know...

The operative phrase is "for use in legitimate self-defense".

So this is where the thread went. Was wondering about that.

And we're done. You seem unable to want to even try to understand my arguments which in itself makes discussion futile. Coupled with your self-righteous moralism and misplaced feelings of superioty,...

We're omnivores. Meats are beneficial nutrition sources. The fact that it's possible to survive without eating animals does not in itself justify not eating animals. There's an argument to be made...

I already explained the origins of human rights in terms of benefits to human society and, ultimately, the individual human.

Of course it is unsurprising. We need food to live.

Untrue. For...

Right back at you...

Well, I'm only human. The evolutionary and cultural pressures that have made humans moral have certainly worked on me as well. It "feels" wrong.

I'm talking medical...

But animal welfare entails that, too.

Again, no, I don't. I consider cruelty to animals to be disturbing and vile. On the other hand do I consider, say, toxicity tests on animals to be cruelty?...

Actually, I did...

As I said, I didn't think you'd support such a viewpoint (which usually manifests itself in vandalism from the likes of ALF.)

Not so. I'm not arguing that humans ought to...

Not really, no. The fact that you seem to support an even more insane viewpoint than the one I ascribed to you does not make your stance better.

You're right, of course. My fault - I didn't assume...

Get off your high horse, James R. Ascribing ignorance to those who think this is a bad idea is pernicious.

The fact is that most western countries already have laws for animal rights. Now, human...

The irony is so thick that I have trouble finding a fitting analogy.

"The thousands of physicist whose physics made the modern world possible are all wrong. I, with no formal training, and no...

I'm sorry, what? Are you advocating that we should get the same measurements from different frames? That's... well, that's just silly.

If by "assertions" you mean rigourous math, and by "nervous...

Well, it sounds like you're after Epiminides' Liar Paradox (IIRC).

It's usually given in the form: "This statement is false."

martillo, you don't seem interested in the fact that your dismissal of relativity theory has been torn to shreds. I wonder why that is...

I'm sorry, what? Do you think the newspaper that originally printed the cartoons were in correspondence Danish ambassadors abroad? No, that's absurd. So what on Earth are you trying to say with this?
