PopeBeanie:

I get the connection you’re making, but really, is there more than just the name to discredit good science in a different discipline?

I’ll take as a win, the fact that we agree about Musk.

I should be more clear: I am all for vaccines as a life-saving technology. I think they should be available over-the-counter in Epi-Pens, eve…[Read more]

PopeBeanie:

Musk is out of his depth on vaccines (and probably on rocketry too, judging from how he like to blow shit up on his laugh pads)…

But just gotta say, Germany isn’t helping it’s case by naming it’s vaccine regulator the Paul Ehrlich Institute, if this is the same one who wrote The Population Bomb which held that we humans reached…[Read more]

PopeBeanie:

That should be Thank Gregor Mendel, Norman Borlaug, and Genentech for GMOs. Gaia née Earth just unconsciously provided the raw materials.

And the most important reason for thanks is The Green Revolution that saved a billion humans from starvation. This helps people cope with reality without psychotropic drugs.

Betty Bowers, America’s Greatest Christian, evidently has a more wayward doppelgänger across the drink:

Jake:

We’re all on the same topic. The same God William Lane Craig is trying to defend is the same God that Donald J. Trump thinks and portrays himself to be and the same God whose standards which MAGA zombies use to judge Trump. And since God-guided MAGA is splitting up on Trump for various reasons, there is no God-guided consensus in…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

As much as I’ll be glad when Trump is out of the White House, I’ll be so sad if this is what gets him thrown out:

World of Woo: Netflix and The Plastic Detox.

Glad you posted this. It fits in nicely with my earlier post on the problem of even accurately detecting microplastics and thus determining how much, if any, is toxic.

So far, the biggest danger posed by plastic are from standing water in containers, sharp edges on hard plastics, and trip…[Read more]

Reg:

Me troll Christians?? Never! I am only gently admonishing them with my wise words.

“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly, as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom.” Colossians 3:16

So you’re fighting Christianity by becoming one? I’m perplexed and not even Maimonides couldn’t be a guide on this one.

Of cou…

Fellow Unbelievers:

A great video from Kyle Hill on Microplastics and the difficulty in measuring what, if any, health effects they have. Kyle also has great thoughtful content busting myths about radiation and nuclear energy:

Strega.

Enco, we were moderators until this software issue, which probably stems from someone trying to fix the fact we could suddenly see IP addresses.

We are referring to the site owner, @Rebel when we need to consult. He doesn’t moderate.

so right now, we are all moderated purely by our own sense of decorum…

So, why doesn’t the own…[Read more]

Reg:

What’s with the concern trolling of Christians? If Christians get their own doctrines wrong, don’t get in their way in making a mistake.

Then, if you can, step in to fill the void. Preferably, including a job or a want ad for one.

Now, as for why MAGA people wear Crucifixes, it could be because they’re fans of Michael “Soy-Faced”…[Read more]

Simon,

Don’t feed the Creationists! They still think teaching Evolution is a Commie plot, notwithstanding that Stalin made Trofim Lysenko’s Lamarckian views into dogma, something Evolution informed by Mendelian Genetics would not do.

Jake:

Humanzees are pansies.

We gotta bury this evidence. We need to uphold African indigeneity! Can’t brook notion of Apes colonizing Africa! Thesis, antithesis, synthesis.

Anyways those raping, pillaging, looting, murderous chimps are resisting. It is not aggression. It is justified resistance. Lance Link secret chimp…

Reg and Strega,

If you two aren’t moderators, who is? And why don’t we ever see them here?

Simon:

I’m not sure it’s all that surprising. The group got big and split into two. Now, they do what chimps do and the two groups are fighting each other.

I’m not really too surprised, given how genetically close Chimps are to Humans. Still, I wonder: What was the “Fort Sumter” that split a previously united group of Chimps? And are the…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

Welp, Creationists have no more arguments left, though this is no reason for Evolutionists to beat their chests either.

PopeBesnie:

That’s so tiny in comparison to his and his family’s grift and middle east partnerships capturing billions of dollars. While other, Epstein-broker-like connections (outside of pedophilia) are kept hidden, perhaps even classified as matters of “national security”?
