Unlike life beginning at conception, evolution is still a theory, albeit a credible one. I also never "denied" evolution, I am agnostic on the issue and don't really care either way.




Sure, we can sack the word intellect all together. Humans are still capable of knowing in a way that in substantially higher than animals, a capacity which can know universals and engage in abstract thought

And yes, I posted this earlier, the definition for intellect implies a specific kind of capacity of knowing that involved abstraction

intellect

noun
  1. the faculty of reasoning and understanding objectively, especially with regard to abstract or academic matters

You don't know what the word impossible means. Impossibility entails a casual contradiction like 2+2=5, or something coming from nothing

There is no causal contradiction in someone changing opinions x to opinions y in a short period of time
Theory means model in science. Scientific Theory=Scientific Model=multiple hypothesis that were proven by experimentation.
 
Apart from the fact that I disagree, it seems you don't know what literally means.
Can we stop the superiority complex two minutes here please ?

I was not necessarily contradicting you. I was adding more context to the word. But since you played the toxic card, atheist doesn't means "belief in no god" but "without god" which means the absence of belief in god and not the presence of the non belief in god.

But thanks for your kind words. This is not up to debate. This is something known in most atheist circles.

Actually there is. A material one. There is no way for you or anyone else to learn the amount of knowledge required to understand radical leftism if you start at the conservative and far right end of the spectrum.

It's a physical impossibility.


Life began in bullshit. Continues through bullshit. And will end in bullshit. That my friend, is true enlightenment.

Fatalism

A scientific model is not necessarily something that has been proven.
 
=/= exclusively.

Animals have intellect, sometimes on the level of human children. Get over it. And get over evolution while you are at it. And flat earth

Do you accept evolution despite being a believer?
I do. I think the Genesis stuff is for the most part a metaphor.

Are you saying paying $30 for pizza isn't bullshit my child? Embrace it.
Wtf!? Better start cooking your own pizza.

Is their being a radical leftist necessitate then having all this knowledge?

What if someone changes their opinion on radical leftist on the basis of appealing to authority, and trusting that all the core renants within radical leftism are true?

Humans change opinion all the time on the basis of authority, perhaps gut feeling, etc.
 
Earth-chan memes are hilarious. Weebos have sexualized global warming and the planet itself.:gokulaugh:
I like it when it isn't a sexual thing

For me, some things may not be literal, like 7 days, since with God a day being like a thousand years, and a thousand years like a day, was mentioned, but I believe we were created and I'm going on that rather than theories that can and may get disproven

Wuat ?

Yeah.. perhaps.

But you will rarely see someone like me become a conservatist mate. Or this would means that I forgot a lot of informations... or I had a mental breakdown. Possible, but unlikely.
 
Although I would not be capable of believing in evolution anyway, and I am not capable of being a materialist, it doesn't have much to do with my belief in Jesus specifically, although that solidifies my lack of pure materialism
 
If this isn't the definition of semantics, I don't know what is lmao

But since you want to be a smartass, animals have an "intellect" in the first sense (that doesn't require abstraction) humans have an "intellect" in the second sense (that requires abstraction)
:catsure:
This is a difference of quality, not quantity. Humans are qualitatively higher than animals

Animals have intellect, sometimes on the level of human children
They don't. Children have the capacity for abstract knowledge, animals are entirely limited to perceptive or sensory knowledge which anyone looking at the animal kingdom for 5 seconds can see

And get over evolution while you are at it
"GUYS, I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE!!!"
