I prefer to ignore the ignorant and focus on those – like Oxy and, sometimes, tech – who actually are open to discussion.

I will continue to periodically drop in, but truthfully, I have better things to do now, and I won’t (I’d actually be embarrased) recommend the site any longer.

It kinda depends on how you look at it. The good thing about Solomon is that s/he actually makes the salient point for rationalism, S/He is the perfect example of what religion at its worst can do to a mind. Let#s be honest AQOTD is bound to be provocative to someone. If atheists were just spouting off in a mutual admiration orgy that would be boring. The dynamic is improved when intelligent theists like Oxy contribute and the fact that the thread often gets de-railed is pretty irrelevent when you consider it only really has a 24 hr life span anyway. Perversley Solomon and tech provide more continuity to the [meta]debate here than anyone else.
I have a theory about tech BTW, I think tech is a closet atheist…

I’ve done a little additional investigating and this resolution strikes me as one that needlessly protects religions, especially Islam. Its easy to see how such a thing can be misused as a battering ram against individual rights. Moreover, I fail to see how this is going to protect against such violations. This resolution is in dire need of an overhaul. Unfortunately I now understand today’s quote and unfortunately it’s correct.

Review the quality difference once he takes over.

Just “Provide fossil proofs of its gradual transformation.”

While it would be nice to have a complete fossil record of the evolution on hominins from the common ancestor of modern humans and modern apes, the chances of that happening are slim. Not, as you wil no doubt maintain, because those species didn’t exist, but because the mechanism by which fossils are preserved (I’m not going into this, look it up) means that such fossils will be very rare. It is a tribute to the dilligence of scientists that we have found what we have.
Nor is the paucity of fossils a reason to discount human evolution as there is plenty of eveidence from genetics and molecular biology to support it too. As time and research progresses the facts of evolution, including humans, will only get stronger. Your creationist myths will have nowhere to hide Ka Ka…oh what’s the point….?

“Man originating from apes is a hoax.”

For once you actually said something that is correct. However, you mistakenly believe that atheists make this claim.

Er.. you do realise the subtlety of this will be completely lost on Solomon who will take it that you are agreeing?
