i don't think that's fair to say though. many scientific processes can easily be observed by the everyday person (boiling water, chemical reactions in household products etc.).

also, i mentioned that i confine myself to Occam's Razor, so the possibility of people lying to you about science is non-existent.

thank you for explaining again, my reading comprehension gets a bit muddy after a while.

@Speedracer__89 @blackrunie

why do i have to do the research? would it not be true if someone else proved it?

i didn't assume, i said that it's strange to think that, since you'd then have to explain how the baby got that knowledge.

evidence doesn't have to empirical.

biology is as empirical as possible, there's almost no deduction in biology. biology is correct, because the inducted concept still applies.

sorry, i'm not following the last part, could you paraphrase that?

i just finished okami, great game. i just failed to get the trophy for getting away from the water dragon -__-

@Speedracer__89 @blackrunie

as stated by Karl Popper, even claim you make has to be falsifiable.

that thing you say people believe is impossible to check, therefore you can't claim it.

combined with Occam's Razor, my starting point is the only remaining option at this point.

also, you'd be going against general biology.

i have only one problem with the youthful pastor. in the first paragraph he brings in one of the main arguments against religion, he brings it up himself, and then doesn't answer it, basically just talking around it.

go ahead and hate, i'll just spew my deduction:

every human being is born not believing in any god. that's a fact, no child knows of religion when it's born.

that's the original position. if you want someone to believe in a god, you have to provide evidence, since you're the one who tries to convince.

there is no absolute evidence that a god exists. using a holy book as argument is fallacious, since the credibility is tied to the existence of the claimed deity. therefore it'd be a circulus in probando to use the book as an argument for the deity.

there is also no absolute evidence that there is no god.

the only logical choice is to be an agnost, open to both options, maybe god does exist and we'll find out one day, maybe he doesn't, there's no way to tell at the present, so we can only stay open to both options.

it's impossible for a shooter to be purely skillbased, there's always an element of luck.

@LightRukia @blackrunie

i care, because it's the start of sexism

that's not a reason and i hope you see it. that's like if there was an article on driver's licenses and i commented: ''men can apply for a driver's license''. it's true, but it's too narrow.

@mlcarter815 @blackrunie

Who says that? Who?

@BloodyAura

you're dangerously close to catering to one sex. what you're saying is true, but it's too narrow.

replace females and girls with ''any person'' and ''anyone'' and it'd be better.

@larsinii @blackrunie

do you even know what razor sells? 90% off their cheapest product is still around 50 bucks.

if i got a coupon for 90% off, i'd immediately, and many people with me, choose the highest end product they have.

so yes, i believe they did lose a lot of money over this.
