It wouldn't surprise me if all your detractors turn out to be atheists.

In your mind, do you think you are a peacemaker? That last sentence you use in every post of yours sounds like you want war.

Re: Kleinman does not think mutations can be passed down to descendants
Kleinman:
And my Bible includes Romans 3:23, Genesis 8:21, Ecclesiastes 7:20, ...
AZPaul3:
Your bible hasn't anything but fantasy.

From the Secular Bible of Reality, the book of AZPaul3:

" ... for religion is evil and falls short of humanity" AZPaul3 10:15

"And the priests admit their god perpetrated a great evil but tried to cover it blaming the victim for the evil. Such is the evil inclination of the theist." AZPaul3 10:21

"Indeed there is no greater evil in the world than priests passing judgment on all humanity." AZPaul3 10:24

You are very good at seeing the evil in others. Do you claim that you have never done evil? And you still don't answer my question about whether your perception of reality is perfect. Do atheists believe in the principles of forgiveness and mercy?

AZPaul3:
I understand deflection is your only defense, but it's not working. You cannot absolve your church of its pinnacle position as the most evil force on Earth.
"Absolve", that's an interesting word that you use. Is there anything in your life for which you need absolution?

You may not have noticed since it doesn't involve Kishony, Lenski, or Desai, but there is a war on. I want it stopped.
I can see you still have this analysis problem.

It certainly seems that the most vehement detractors are that way. Atheism is self-worship. Notice how AZPaul3 won't admit that his perception of reality isn't perfect. He can't because it is difficult to worship a god that isn't perfect in every way. He complains about all the wars started by the church yet calls for war in every post he makes. And did you notice he used the word "absolve" in one of his posts? That's the kind of terminology is used in the Catholic Church. That and the fact that he uses the name "Paul" leads me to believe that he was raised Catholic. Something happened to him.

Still deflection? In this subtopic your conception of god as portrayed by your creed and the church you support, are evil. What I or Theo or the dog next door think or do has no bearing on anything. You don't seem to understand that. Is this more of your faulty analysis problem?

I can see you still have this analysis problem.

So, what's your solution to a border war, a world war?
And when are you going to do your analysis of the Kishony, Lenski, or Desai experiments? Start with a simple analysis that explains why it takes a billion replications for each adaptive mutational step in the Kishony experiment.

Re: Kleinman does not think mutations can be passed down to descendants
But you have no evidence to back up these assertions do you.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Why do you think you are better than anyone else? Obviously, your perception of reality is not perfect. Your solution to a border war is a world war. You can't explain how drug resistance evolves and why cancer treatments fail. The only thing you are good at seeing is the evil in others but you can't see the evil in yourself.
