Never seen Satan, let alone followed him.

No reason to believe ^this I DIOTIC OPINION. Sure we.do. For example, I think you're an I DIOT because of the stupid name calling you post HERE. That would be YOU. Conservatives are actually a MINORITY here. Proof is the last election. ? And that Trump lost in 2020 by 7 MILLION VOTES

Who said we cannot determine OUR OWN purpose of our life?

Well, it seems he is saying that suffering is due to the sinful actions of OTHERS. Evil parents, I guess. Which still does not explain babies and children suffering with life threatening diseases such as cancer. God did an incompetent job of "designing" humans with such PAINFUL defects.

God didn't "create everything" as written in the Bible. It happened over 100s of millions of years; far longer than 7 days. When your book starts out with a whopper like that, that is strong evidence of gross ignorance. And MEN just making up stories. If God inspired them, HE LIED TO THEM.

FACT is, there is NOT "the liberal mind;" there are MANY DIFFERENT liberal MINDS. Trying to shoehorn all liberal thought into ONE "mind" is just asinine. Do YOU understand now?

Only narcissists believe that their "one truth," is THE one truth. Your Bible is just the OPINIONS of ancient and largely ignorant (by today's standard of knowledge) MEN. They may have insight about how MEN feel, but little else was understood about physical laws back then. They didn't even understand the nature of GRAVITY.

Make me, ahole.

Saved from what? Do you understand the difference between faith and science? Science is universal because it is based on testable empirical evidence and PHYSICAL LAWS. Religious FAITH has no such immutable foundation. There are MANY DIFFERENT such belief systems and there is no reason to believe YOURS is superior or more correct than any of the OTHERS.

Do you have ANY IDEA how many online posters make ^these claims when they HAVE NOTHING? Too many for ANYONE INTELLIGENT to go on your WILD GOOSE CHASE. Put up or shut up.

WTH is "the liberal mind"? Of course you (again) have no evidence for ^this FANTASY.

Now that we KNOW how the Earth was created (which was the entire universe when the Bible was written), we know that what they wrote is bullshit. Just because the writers CLAIM they were "inspired by God" does not make it a true representation of reality. Their belief is ONLY that. Just like YOUR belief.

Just another ahole trying to destroy democracy by discrediting elections and riling up the LOSERS. Putin? Russians already said they are STILL interfering in our elections. NO EVIDENCE, just YOU KNOW IT HAPPENED!!!! When you have no evidence of fraud, all you have is the CERTIFIED VOTE COUNT. But thanks for revealing just how little evidence (none) is required to gain your belief.

Science is the best knowledge we have. It is ALWAYS vulnerable to BETTER SCIENCE. The greatest problem with your religious FAITH, is there is not an accepted mechanism for updating it to account for new empirical knowledge. AKA, always stuck in the PAST.

No such thing happened in Nevada with the Cortez Masto WIN! Nevada LAW specifies mail in ballots count if they arrived by TODAY. You guys just keep revealing your ignorance.

No one said scientists are "infallible." That claim would be from religious leaders about their religion and the Bible. From my cite: Lenski’s E. Coli  Long-Term Evolution Experiment

How would you know when you fail to read about it?

So said MEN. Men who may have been insane for all we know. Hearing voices when others aren't present is something my nephew does. Diagnosed with Schizophrenia. In ancient times, he coulda been a priest who heard God. Point is, NOT empirical evidence.

IF you'd read my cite, you'd know ^this is wrong. Experiments showing evolution are CITED there.

Only MEN said the Bible came from God. Men who claimed the authority of God in the form of their status to determine what "he said."

You said "they are not the same AT ALL." They are 84% the same according to your cite. There's obviously a reason you resorted to HYPERBOLE.

Yes, I stated that already. I didn't say anything about "absolute truth." I said it is backed by the vast majority of EXPERTS. And I mean real experts, not just someone that believes what an ancient book of myths says. Why do you believe a book with no empirical evidence over empirical evidence that scientist gather TODAY? When you have 2 options, one of which is believing TODAY'S empirical evidence and other depends on ancient myths in a single book, empirical evidence is a much stronger case; NOT BIAS. Exactly. Any conclusions about those topics drawn from the Bible is crap. Anything NOT backed by the latest empirical evidence is a myth. And the older it is, the more suspect.

I understand you're admitting a lack of expertise, but unwilling to take the word of an expert who is backed by the vast majority of experts wrt evolution because it is counter to what you have "long believed." And you are unwilling to acknowledge that the science "experts" employed by Creation Ministries International make a lot of errors as detailed in the rebuttal I cited. Do you not know that CMI is very selective in the "experts" they employ; meaning that they have to be willing to believe what the Bible says, despite the FACT that the Bible was written LONG BEFORE what we KNOW about evolution TODAY. The MEN who wrote the Bible knew shit about the processes that created man. Why are you so distrustful of modern science that you continue to believe MYTHS instead of empirical EVIDENCE? Are you also unable to understand the REASONS I cited behind your belief in those MYTHS?

So you argument boils down to, because you can't understand the reasons given why Sanford's thesis is erroneous, you're just going to believe him ON FAITH, right?

I don't think we can ever "suffer withdrawal" from the brain damage that lead fumes causes. I've long suspected it was responsible for most of any statistical intellectual disability of inner city dwellers.
