Mav88 gave you a great answer but I have a slightly different take. To me, facts are indisputable bits of truth. Only a fool, a lunatic or a charlatan would call them into question. And scientific theories are entirely based on facts ('scientific facts' you say? No, facts are just...

LMAO :D :D :D

The problem with assholes like J the P is that they never know when they've worn out their welcome, and they keep coming back. Look at how Newt Gingrich resurfaced this year. Even the GOP shuddered at the thought of putting Newtie on their ticket.

I should have known you were just a pathological liar. theory 1: the analysis of a set of facts in their relation to one another 2: abstract thought : speculation 3: the general or abstract principles of a body of fact, a science, or an art <music theory> 4 a: a belief, policy, or...

It's hard to know where to begin to deal with such ignorance and unfounded assumptions. Your definitions are straight out of some mediocre junior high school book. For starters, a theory is not an assumption, it is an explanation for something. If you say a theory is just a guess, then...

Because those other accounts were written by scientists, not some guys wearing long robes and speaking back to voices in their heads. Because nobody is asking me to base my whole life on, say, abiogenesis or other aspects of evolution. Because scientific theories, unlike religious dogma, are...

As usual, you see only what you want to see. Most atheists I personally know don't insist there is no god, we merely demand proof from those who insist there is a god. Our philosophy is very simple: We'll believe in your god when we see it (her, him, them). Evidence trumps everything...

There's a huge difference between faith and blind faith. A reasonable person can have faith, but blind faith calls for the lack of reason. I don't know your religion but I'd bet you're an Abrahamist (Jew, Christian or Muslim). That's a good bet because most modern theists are now...

You think this is news? Who didn't already know this about Bush?

The worst part about threads like this is a bunch of non-biochemists giving their supremely ignorant opinions about how biochemistry should work. I'm not a biochemist but I do know this much about chemistry in general: atoms and molecules don't combine randomly. There are rules. If you...

Ah, the silly old "God of the gaps" argument: There's a gap in our knowledge; nobody can explain this particular thing in the natural world; ergo, God done it. I wonder how much progress has been delayed because of that old bullshit.

I've seen this commercial more than once on US cable TV. A guy looks with horror at the snoring woman in his bed and he gets up to sneak out, then he sees their wedding picture and realizes he's married to her so he can't just walk out. The punchline: "Isn't it time for Ashley Madison dot...

You are a hopeless fool. TraderNik covered this nicely but just to put my own two cents in, Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School. They don't hand those out on affirmative action, you have to earn it. And working hard isn't good enough, you have to work smart as well. If...

Let me be the first to say: moving averages. :p You got your SMAs, WMAs, EMAs, AMAs and VWMAs. Hey, that's five! :D

For once you've said something I'm inclined to believe.

And still you can't provide a single concrete example. :p And still you can't provide a single concrete example. :p Yes, this sums up your "thought" process nicely. :D :D

You guys just never stop with the revisionist bullshit, do ya? Nobody died when Clinton lied, and that's just for starters.

I disagree. Progress isn't inevitable. We didn't go through a Dark Ages for nothing; imagine how much more progress could have been made without the anchor of religious zealotry and superstitious nonsense and prejudice holding us back. If the Confederacy had succeeded in breaking off, we'd...

+5 I especially like the part about "Bush" being their sanest choice. LMFAO. :D Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of assholes.

That describes the Bushies perfectly, who you supported. Bush and Cheney used the Constitution like it was toilet paper, and that was obvious by the time you voted for them again in 2004.
