Onhan siinä enemmän meriittiä persuille

I’m not very familiar with Bob Ross, but what I’ve heard from the internet memes he was very respectable person. And being an artist is no more or less important than a scientist

Olipas harvinaisen paskaa lukemista. Pettymys on mittaamaton ja päivä pilalla

Alkaspa ydinsota jo

I can recognize Sagan, Tyson and Ross, but who are the others?

Joo tämä mies saisi syödä rotvallia. Ihmetyttää miten tälläinen menee oikeudesta läpi.

Ainakin kokkarit potki hänet vittuun, mutta ylläripylläri persut otti hänet mielellään vastaan >.>

“Kai meille nyt aina yks pedofiili mahtuu, kunhan suurinpiirtein samanmielinen”

🤮

Saako vähän kontekstia?

Until there is an actual explanation you can say its been “proven billions of times”

All the evidence we have supports evolution theory

No one is handwaving away problems we are yet to solve, except the people just claiming “must have been gods”

There has always been and probably always will be new problems to solve. Scientists have been working on trying to understand and resolve those problems, and we know so much more today than we did 100 years ago. We take evolution theory as a fact, because it’s the theory that has been proven billions of times again and again, and we keep finding more proof for it. Just because we might not know everything yet, is not an argument against the only working theory we have.

Your Christ illusion has been proven zero times

Opinions are opinions. Opinions don’t change the fact that earth is orbiting the sun or that religions are a hoax

Ah, haven’t seen it. I was teenager when it came out, my fundamentalist parents were praising it but didn’t allow me to watch it because of the 18+ rating in Finland. Never bothered to watch it later in life

What’s the “most antisemitic film” they’re referring to?

The way I have heard it explained is that before the big bang there was nothing.

It’s more like what happened before big bang has no consequences to what happened after. Because this, we have little idea what happened before because there’s no direct evidence.

Because science tries to understand the unknown using reason, religion throws the reason away and says it was gods.

Evolution theory DOES explain where we came from, and the theory is proven billion times over and over. It’s insanity to believe anything else. As Dawkins neatly put it, we have more evidence for evolution theory than we have for Holocaust.

but most atheists are aware of this or just handwave away the problem.

No, ‘atheists’ do not handwave problems found in scientific theories away but study it until it’s no longer a problem. What religion does is just says “it must be gods” and throws any reason to thrash bin

Yep, but we have tool for trying to understand it. It’s called scientific method, and it has so far been able to help us understand the mechanics of the universe without resorting to crazy claims such as “yeah must have been super powered aliens”, which is the only offer from religion.

I do get that there’s a chance that it’s all bogus, and that there really is or was a god that created everything in a way we have been able to measure it, but why exactly should I believe it? Which story should I believe? ‘In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way’, the same human made stories written over centuries trying to explain the world around us. In this context religion seems nothing more than a predecessor to scientific method turned into crowd control tool.

Growing up in religious circles I kinda learned that there’s no good in religion. Surely there’s good religious people, but they spread the evil word the same as those who want to bring the oppressive shit onto others.

Religion has never been good for anything but for controlling masses

Yeah man something about Russell’s tea pot

We have no evidence for gods, that’s it. There’s no need to provide evidence for absence of god, the burden of proof belongs to the person who makes the claim (that there’s a god/gods).

No one was brave enough to say it aloud.

Generally, in work I try to give the benefit of doubt in situations like this - I don’t want to be the one explaining sounding when someone uses the term about something else

Okay I might have misunderstood your intentions, but you posting a picture of his son making faces while he’s giving some speech or whatever kinda felt like you’re on “haha look at this stupid kid”
