+1 hour spent in church
oh good an improvement i connected with the beliefs of ancient middle eastern people for historical value less than that what wouldve been acquired in an hour of a lecture at uni
which is the excuse used when the actual reason people go to church is to continually reinforce the conditioning you received since you were a child and any modern church is just what any cult looks like after x thousand years

I don't think Mengele, or unit 731 were experiments for the church. The anit-jew propaganda was nearly entirely couched in scientific rhetoric. How about that guy who starved half of Russia because he really did believe you could grow poo poo in winter, and had the science to prove it even though everyone called bullshit?

the theory of natural selection involves the notion of 'selection for...' which is an intensional process. there are only two kinds of things that have intensions. minds (in the form of intentions) or laws (intensions). the mechanism of natural selection is neither a mind nor a law. while darwin was right about a great many things natural selection involves intensionality and it just can't. it is not a mechanism. sorry

The purpose of prayer is to remember you're not god yo, you're someone that makes emotional mistakes. A sin is by definition an action coming from emotional weakness with consequences that are harmful to yourself and the community.

pretty sure the contemporary motivator for prayers is entitlement and sin is synonymous with "faggotry" in tyool '15

the people who still do things by the book are a dying breed. what christianity's got left are mostly wackjobs using words to manipulate others, like they were magic spells

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

People do a lot of terrible things that don't have anything to do with emotional weakness.

There should be a nice balance between butts and boobs because the answer, you see, is in the middle.

... better post some nice tummies, too.

I think a lot of people who believe in evolution also think it has "goals". Like making things better.

But there is no such thing. It's entirely random. There is no agent.

anyone claiming to have discredited iq tests probably was just disappointed with their results my friend

The problem is how people read or interpret what IQ is. The concept came from Alfred Binet in the early 1900s. It was not designed to test how smart you are but designed to test who would benefit from interaction and who could not. All of the tests following Binet's sought to extrapolate how well you could deal with being educated in a certain type of setting. There are still lingering concepts of difference and the value of certain type of abstract thinking over other types of abstract thinking. This pops up especially in weird ways with causal patterns in the ones that have more culture dependent variables. Things like direction of language in reading, visual abilities and other things all influence your score passively. The test and other tests developed in its vein attempt to derive a rate of learning by sampling behaviors, visual discrimination, pattern following ,motor behavior, and other things. Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences was also meant to work in a similar way.You are actually not supposed to rely upon one test alone to figure things out. Diagnosticians often interpret them in line with other things too. The TONI is another test that attempts to acquire IQ solely through pattern recognition and assessing relations in shapes. I know many of these style tests are partially used to help identify things like placement in special education.
