.agree
it's in our interests to stir up shit in hong kong
the earth is a flat disk, it sits on pillars and is covered in a transparent dome. the whole structure is submerged in a celestial ocean
@TheUserNameofPeace why is she in trouble
you cant cost-effectively artificially manufacturer an element
dyer embarrassed himself badly when he tried to debunk aquinas' five ways
dying as a christian is depressing. death is like a full body amputation, you're gonna desperately want it back
press your tongue against the roof of your mouth, it's called mewing. that and hit the gym
more variation within than between is a super super common race denialist talking point that's been debunked about a 1000x now
there's more variation within humans and a particular subspecies of chimp than between them
we can feed a computer genetic data and tell it to sort it into a fixed number of groups, the sole criterion being to maximize genetic distance and it recreates the colloquial races
anyone who can look at a group of europeans and at a group of abos and tell you with a straight face that there's no meaningful distinction is a liar or a retard
are you a liar or a retard? im gonna guess the former.
there are clearly differences between groups of people and they're significant enough to warrant a categorization scheme
@Yek there's a 30 point iq gap between jews and american blacks. these differences are significant
we're different in almost every conceivable way, skin color, the size of our brains, our average iqs, average heights, average number of sweat glands, etc etc
race denial is literally an insane position to hold
@Yek of course its justified, we categorize things based on much lesser differences. there are recognized subspecies of elk that you'd need a trained zoologist to discern between because the differences are so subtle. if you think the differences between chinese and europeans, or europeans and africans, or native americans and abos, arent enough to warrant race you have some sort of brain problem
im sorry, but this seriously is like looking up at the sky and saying its not blue
@Yek you have no science. i already explained why more variation within than between is a weak argument. this holds true for humans and a subspecies of chimp. do you think the human chimp distinction is meaningless?
@Yek you definitely can directly compare genetic variation in chimps and in humans, we can directly compare 99% of the two genomes. and there's more genetic variation within chimps and within humans than between them.
so clearly it means nothing as far as justifying whether or not to make a distinction between different races of people
more variation within than between just doesnt preclude the kinds of typological differences that would justify a racial categorization
there are different ways of measuring genetic variation. heterozygosity is a popular one. it's the probability that two random individuals in a population will differ in a gene at a random gene location
and its grammar is way more complicated than spanish
complex, intricate, complicated, advanced, hard, difficult
there's gotta be a word for every possible thing you could imagine
simpler languages are superior. look at how fucked up chinese is
these asian kids would be gods if they werent being held back by that shitty language
a unique character for every word is one of the dumbest writing systems imaginable
those are the best philosophical arguments for the existence of god
the arguments are strong, you probably havent interacted with the real ones
there are retarded bastardizations of them that are super prominent
there are supposedly good theoretical arguments for a multiverse. as for 3, you'd only find yourself in one of the universes that could support life
forget about fine tuning, thomism is where it's at
the point is that just like there are many planets in the universe, there are many universes in the multiverse
it's a nice book, it's got a bunch of interactive html files
if you want good proofs for gods existence that cant be invalidated with physics, read ed feser's book "five proofs of the existence of god"
sorry duck but physics has to bend the knee to metaphysics
you havent interacted with the real ones, only caricatures
i would bet 1000 dollars you've only heard the strawman version of the argument from motion
noah's flood was a local flood that took place on the arabian peninsula about 13k years ago
neither of you understand the argument from motion cause it has nothing to do with the beginning of the universe
aquinas himself didnt think it was possible to prove by philosophical means that the universe began to exist. for the purposes of his argument it could be eternal
when aquinas says motion he's talking about change in general
well except for the argument from motion, that ones stood for 2300 years
you're doing what young earth christian fundies do with evolution. "oh if evolution is true, why are there still monkeys"
the arguments are way more sophisticated then these caricature internet summaries present them as
