| Big Papa Goat | You abused the word science pretty badly there. Science has never been about finding absolute natural truths, its been about finding the best explanations for natural phenomenon with the available data. | |

Even AB should be able to recognize what is so idiotic about those who have faith in science while simultaneously holding that there are no absolute truths. If nothing can be absolutely true, what the hell is the point of science? If we deny that things can be true, the entire point of science is lost. |

| Perndog | Too much hoopla about Darwin. Religious pseudoscience is only gaining ground in America and other assorted religious countries, not so much in more civilized parts of the world. Pushing a Darwin Day is not going to accomplish anything except a sacrifice of all the money spent on lobbying, etc. etc. etc. These folks should find something more worthwhile to do. Like a barbecue. Those are fun. | |

There are plenty of scientists who aren't scientists too.

I think a person like Darwin deserves a special day, concidering his accomplishments towards science. I always hate to see bigot atheist bash religion like its some inferior way of thinking. Eventhough I'm not a religious person and am pretty close to being an athiest, I still think that religion has given good concepts to help develop society. People who believe in them are just brought up to do so, there not necessarliy stupid. And its not like you can fully trust science either. There are a lot of scientists that really believe that black are genetically inferior to white people, that men over 60 are gay and how they have these "machines" that can tell if your racist or not. |

| Brandon | I'd like to see it happen, too, but I'm not overly optimistic about its chances. Whether we like it or not, the free-thinkers are completely outnumbered, and I don't expect that to change anytime soon. If our society is based on majority rule, we're going to be playing by the rules of religious types for some time. | |

Even if it does happen, I doubt it'll ever amount to much. Atheists/Humanists/Free Thinkers/whathaveyou are far too disorganized to become a powerful bloc. And despite what some say, that Atheism is "just another religion", its disorganization says quite a lot actually - many who hold such beliefs shun such dogmatism, IMO. I for one would like to see it take off. There may be no "absolute truths", but I can say absolutely that Creationism is just plain wrong. |

Why do I even need to explain this? This constant oao mocking is derailing every worthwhile thread he posts in. And if oao was a particularily interesting person (even in a bad way) I guess it would be better but oao is just average and many of the things he posts here are blatant flaim bait. I mean, mocking something that really deserves it is one thing, and obsessing over a sorry 16 year old kid with delusions of philosophical profundity is another. Quote:

And the fact that these guys put so much faith in science and deny "absolute truths" is disturbing in and of itself, but calling themselves "rationalists" puts icing on the cake. |

I'm all for this holiday if it means that we get an extra day off work and school.
