Can anyone tell me what religious discoveries have benefited humanity in the last 20 years?

I can hardly ever debate a theist that will not introduce scientific topics into the conversation almost immediately. Within a minute I know that they have no idea about what they are talking about.

@Unseen  -Maybe it’s a ‘False equivalence’ fallacy that you are thinking of?

Colin Jackson, the British 110m hurdler, has a “fast twitch” gene which makes him very fast out of the blocks. It is a trait common to many people that can trace their ancestry back to a specific part of Africa (around Liberia, I think).

When I am asked to “disprove god existence” I now ask to see their “Proof of God” so that I can. It has defeated all of them so far. 🙂

What is darkly comedic is how the term ‘virtue signalling’ is itself used as a form of virtue signalling.

Yes but at least there is an app for that….

I would agree that religion is a deep-seated human trait. But that does not mean it is genetic. There is no “god gene”. Religions arose due to human ignorance and our predisposition to need an answer to what we didn’t understand. Any answer, to the uncritical mind, even if it is the wrong answer, is better than no answer. We don’t know ergo it…[Read more]
