It is nice knowing that you are fairly right about something. Evolution happens to be one of those topics in that category. The funny/sad part is running across people who still “don’t get it” and either are deluded or have let their misplaced skepticism get the better of them. I try unsuccessfully to hide my incredulity when people put their ignorance on display, it probably gets me in trouble as I have had these “you’re really saying that moments” with people who are in positions of authority and they are friends/respected peers.
Too bad, so sad; I’m getting way too old to varnish the truth for those who want to clutch the wizened pearls of their shoddy religions and spout nonsense.
Funny, but people who actually believe in this shite want to bring it into the hospitals. Frightening.
Brilliant. Myles is a fantastic youtuber who is a biochemistry student out of the UK who is currently writing his PhD “Non-Enzymatic Transcription of Nucleic Acids and the Control of Gene Expression using Mutant Riboswitches by Synthetic Guanosine Analogues” (say THAT three times fast) and continually uploads wonderful experiments that entertain and educate and inspire learning (next run to the grocery store, I’m most definitely getting some red cabbage). On top of all that, he debunks asinine claims that can potentially harm society (and you thought I only went after religious nut-bags). Well, I’m running out of parentheses, so without further ado, here’s Myles on the B.S. that is homeopathy.
Watch the intensely stupid anti-vax loonery in full bloom as they make the case for exposing your newborns to disease, because if their bodies “don’t want it” they simply won’t get sick.
Their next show is on how Big Science has fooled us into believing that the earth is round…
We can be good without consulting the godhead of your choice. Qualia Soup makes an engaging look at morality and religion.
Evidence from youtube, makes a concise movie about Evolution and Intelligent Design.
When the religious compare their dogma of choice to science it is almost always a grand misrepresentation of what science actually is. One can break it down for them categorically for instance:
religion – requires a belief in magic and the supernatural
science – requires a dedication to finding the evidence and testable facts about our existence.
As a person who is solidly in the second camp let me assure you, I have no need to “believe” in science. One cannot believe in science as one does religion, it is a false equivocation from the outset. My belief in gravity has no effect on whether gravity applies to me or not, and as hard as I might pray to the gravity gods, I will still be attracted toward the center of the Earth(this works for religious prayer to as well in terms of efficacy).
But what would happen if science was actually a religion. Dr.Dawkins investigates this premise in this video
