      I'd love to challenge a Christian evolution-denier who says that, by asking them how they can make any claims whatsoever about Jesus... IF YOU WEREN'T THERE. Watching them try to figure that out would be like watching someone drown.

      Unlikely. If they think that the Bible is God’s word and the Bible says God was there. That’s all they need in their minds. They have the best witness.
      The problem they have is trying to convince us that their witness exists. Their book claims we already know he exists and their book can’t be wrong.
      Except that we don’t know that he exists, therefore the book is wrong.
      It’s hard to argue with people who have accepted false statements as undeniably true.

      Yeah. They've acquired habits of not thinking.
      I have no problem with people believing in a religion.
      With Christianity, however, so many of them seem to think that they can use Bible quotes to convince other people of things... EVEN WHEN those other people DO NOT believe in the Bible. This indicates to me that their religion has severely damaged their intelligence.
      It makes me want to quote Hindu writings to them and try to get them to understand that it is 100% idiotic for them to expect me to find the Bible any more convincing than they find the Hindu writings.
      It seems that many Christian churches come with strong traditions of not questioning and not thinking... and it seems intellectually cancerous to me.

      @@Akira-jd2zr I recently viewed a lecture by a physicist from Oxford, I think it was, and while I don't remember his name, nor the precise title of the lecture, it was something to the effect of, "Why God makes a poor scientific theory." A quick UA-cam search should produce the correct result. In any case, at one point, he states that the best argument he can posit for the existence of God is the 'fine-tuning' of the physical properties of the universe, and how very unlikely it is that we would have a life-sustaining universe if said properties were a random occurrence. Even Neil DeGrasse Tyson has stated publicly that among the world's elite scientists, 7% still believe in, and pray to a personal God. He wonders at the fact that this number is a non-zero value. Cognitive dissonance, as one commenter quipped in this thread? Quite possible, but not in the direction one might expect. When one personally encounters the presence of the Holy, who is a being wholly other than we, one comes away with a renewed perspective on just how "cognitively dissonant" the best, highest, and most well-ordered of human thought actually is.

    "Why is a woman talking about Science?"
    For some reason this made me burst out laughing. Anyone who isn't aware that there are successful women in Science, is living in the dark ages.
    I think the reason why I burst out laughing is because this is just such an incredibly weak statement to make. It's like saying, "No one as short as you can be smart." It's disconnected from reality.
    I have a Math degree. A couple of my favorite instructors were women, because my particular Math department happened to have a lot of female instructors.

I'm twice Erika's age, so I don't get it as much anymore, but when I *was* her age I had to use my gender-neutral middle name professionally just to get a call back on my CV, even with two post-grad engineering degrees, only to be called "honey" and "sweetie" during the interview when I managed to get one. It was bad enough that after working a few jobs for which I was way overqualified and underpaid, I said "screw it" and started my own company.

      The problem with Dawkins is that he thinks that being a great biologist also makes him a great philosopher. He doesn’t argue against creationism or religion on purely scientific grounds, within his purview, instead he expounds approach to metaphysics, ontology and epistemology which more or less personifies science and then elevates “him” to a god. Often it seems that he isn’t arguing against religion at all, he’s arguing that his religion is better for X reasons. There’s nothing wrong with that on principle, Aquinas and Maimonides were some of the greatest minds in history and they did just that, but it does paint him as a massive hypocrite who is out of his depth.
