Sophistry. See--I can do it.
As you are likely to know more about the matter than I do fm what do you think about the rice subsidy from a Darwinian perspective?
We can leave nepotism and property for a later date.
Quote:The Bible is one of many charming collections of myths that surround codes of conduct and fears of the unknown.
But it is our's isn't it. When you attack the Bible you do to it what a prominent theatre critic can do to a play. Thus to attack it is to help take away those things you mention. And if there is anything wrong or inhuman about fear of the unknown then there are a lot of people who have something wrong with them and who are inhuman.
Doesn't Mr Darwin cover fear in birds and animals in general show signs of fear in almost their every action. Watch your dog sometime. scientifically I mean and not as a loving sentimentalist who imagines he has trained it. Whistles frighten dogs. That's why they run to their owners when they hear a whistle. For safety. They see their owner as a tortoise sees its shell.
I'm inclined to think that a "transcendent gigantic intelligence" can manage to perform any trick possibly even outside the rules of mathematics.
The problem with -
Quote: He ridicules the IDjits with as much vehemence as he ridicules fundamentalists.
is that he's fool enough to think an IDjit is what you AIDs-ers say is an IDjit and as that has been a fundamentalist all along he would look pretty silly if he didn't ridicule IDjits as he does fundamentalists.
As it isn't of course because I'm an IDjit and I'm not a fundamentalist.
And he did only say "a possibility" anyway. But if there is a possibility it is pretty silly to trade a mere three score and ten years in a bet against eternity just so you can swap wives every time you fancy when, as I quoted earlier, marriage is an acquired taste, like eating periwinkles with a pin. Eating periwinkles with a pin is not like marriage because it's a lot easier and only requires swallowing a small amount of pride.
Hey-and c.i. says I don't know what "prejudice" means.
Isn't everything joined by a common ancestry. A biological birth. If you had teeth up your arse the restaurants would have curtains around the tables so you could still compete with each other in curtain styles instead of masticating and swallowing techniques. And you would'nt need knives and forks and the rest of it. See what I mean?
