Natural Science 301 Guidelines

This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.

As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

      Well, this is what an idiot looks like. Thanks for showing the world how much of a hate filled bigot you really are.

        If you're going to disagree with something, make sure you're not throwing tomatoes at a strawman.
        Phank is an idiot of the first order with a hatred of religion that shines though with every post. Pretty much, the atheist version of Jorge.

            Left handedness doesn't lead to bloody colons, AIDS epidemics, raping teenagers and a slew of other mental and social issues as far as I know. Though the incovenience is probably enough that it can be cured with a trivial treatment there's no reason not to do it.

On the other hand I have family members born in the winter that are borderline psychotics, a few cross over the border.
              Individual examples don't mean anything, it's why we work with high sample sizes whenever possible. Nobody is claiming there is a 100% correlation between date of birth and personality.

                Doesn't matter if he is the Queen of England. He has zero supporting scientific evidence for his idle speculation. But I can see how a homophobic bigot ignorant retard would jump all over it.

                  He has the only hypothesis that isn't idiotic on its face so far, which is a lot better than the "it's genetic" retards whose hypothesis has been disproved. Let's see you do better. Also what does homophobia have to do with this? Are you claiming it's impossible for homosexuality to be caused by a pathogen? It seems to me you much prefer discussing people to actual arguments, like a hundred year old church lady who fills up her days with gossip while waiting to die.

                      I'm sorry Phank, but insulting an entire belief system for your dislike of one person is the very definition of intolerance and bigotry. Don't worry though, perhaps if you act more smug and self satisfied than you already have; you're hatred in action will manage to disappear into a puff of smoke.

                        It's only not idiotic to ignorant scientifically illiterate retards.

                        Let's see you do better.
                        Let's see more scientific evidence, any scientific evidence, and less homophobic bluster. I won't hold my breath.

                          This is wrong on several counts. First, he has no evidence of any sort of pathogen, not even indirectly. Second, the genetic proposal has certainly not been disproved, anymore than the pathogen proposal. Lack of evidence isn't disproof. Third, there have been other proposals currently being tested both directly (looking for causes) and indirectly (looking for statistical patterns.)


                          Let's see you do better. Also what does homophobia have to do with this? Are you claiming it's impossible for homosexuality to be caused by a pathogen? It seems to me you much prefer discussing people to actual arguments, like a hundred year old church lady who fills up her days with gossip while waiting to die.
                          It's not impossible that a pathogen is involved, anymore than it's impossible that God's Will is involved. But neither can be proved yet.

                          The homophobia arises from using such terms as disorders and pathology to describe a normal, permanent aspect of human variation. Just because a variation is in the minority doesn't make it pathological. That was the purpose of the handedness comment, by the way. There was a time, within living memory, when being left-handed WAS regarded as a disorder to be cured. Hopefully, the sinisterphobes have vanished.

                            Your tolerance is admirable. We should all emulate your example. You seem to have been taking lessons from Jorge. At least YOUR insults are not being censored away by our paragons of tolerance.

                              What, don't you realize that about 12% of these diseased, demented rapists are left-handed?

                                Awe yes, the person attempting to attack me for insulting him is the same person who insulted over a billion people and takes no issue with his obvious hypocrisy and double standards, while doing so. Sorry phank, but I didn't insult an entire religious belief, which was so bad, that the mods all agreed that it should be edited for its content (I do know what you said). Sorry, you've lost all ability to tell anybody about tolerance with comments like that. Besides, I'm insulting YOU personally, not every single atheist in the world and on tWeb. You insulted every Christian on tWeb and the world. You lost all right to attack anybody for a lack of tolerance and respect after what you said. Don't worry though, pretending that you never did that, might make it disappear into a puff of smoke. You deserved this attitude. Don't like it, issue a sincere apology to everybody you just insulted with your total lack of respect and I will change my attitude towards you. Until you do that, you earn every bit of disrespect you get.
