My collection of tweets describing some of the evidence for #evolution by natural selection & against special creation.

@mementolucis @Monarchist_Can What makes you think "objective good and evil" exist? What does that even mean?

Aren't "good" and "evil" just descriptors of one's thoughts or feelings about a thing?

@AnthonyBernabei You and a small child not understanding something is probably not the flex you think it is 😉

Which fact does your niece believe requires the intervention of an undetectable supernatural being: that humans are alive or that planets aren't?

@LargestMystery @DrBobBeare @maximumpain333 @Be_Supernatural @Mind_Essentials @MindTendencies2 Why does your god make so many mistakes?

Who can be so unintelligent as to not see that forming conclusions based on cherry-picked data is likely to lead one AWAY from the truth?

@TheHistoryGuy07 Can you demonstrate this "reality of God" for us please? I mean with actual evidence that is exclusively indicative of a god and which can be consistently verified by others?

Thanks!

@j_somers_holder Journal of Creation?

Even Wikipedia has a more accurate description of what the Big Bang theory is. Why don't you read up about it before trying to debunk it?

You're like a kid trying to debunk the mechanics of flight by covering your eyes when a plane flies overhead.

@InvisibleIsr3al @SandraK87933686 Do you see “intelligent design” in retinoblastoma or imperforate anus? Just contemplate dying of THAT for 10 seconds if you can bear it.

Is the left recurrent laryngeal nerve’s pathway intelligently designed? Or the placement of endogenous retroviruses?

Come on.

@edsmith573 @Ah_Science Yes! Scientists are human.

That’s why peer review is a thing, and scientific consensus is more important than an individual’s viewpoint.

These, plus the fact that science is an endeavor based on observation & experimentation (ie reality) are what make it self-correcting.

No?

[What Jesus? @WhatJesus74]

@ArthurMooreIV So you propose that we proportion our beliefs to something OTHER than evidence? Which is to say, we should ignore reality when it comes to our beliefs?

Why??

[What Jesus? @WhatJesus74]

@SirSicCrusader They’re trying to tell you how much better than you they are!

They’ve also mistakenly assumed that the attitudes of a few people online = the way the general population of a country behave. At the grocery store nobody cares what religion you are unless you start talking shit.

@_Truthster @Sarah_Alice_X Human beings are flawed. I'll bet I could find a thousand testimonials of people who have had near death experiences where they met Lord Krishna.

Do you think they're all lying, confused, crazy, or delusional? Or is that good evidence that the Hindu pantheon of gods are real?

[What Jesus? @WhatJesus74]

@Rolfums There are "evils" that don't stem from the supposed wicked hearts of men, and thus can't be healed by forgiveness through belief in the supernatural.

For example: Retinoblastoma (cancer of the retina), which preferentially affects young children over adults.

Why?

[What Jesus? @WhatJesus74]

@_Truthster @Sarah_Alice_X Exactly! It corresponds with reality. So how do any of the supernatural claims in the bible fit with that description?

[What Jesus? @WhatJesus74]

@thecandidpod It takes just as much faith to not believe in Krishna & Nyambi as it does to not believe in the stories of Christianity. Read them carefully & ask yourself questions as you go. It shouldn't take too long before you see them for what they really are.

[What Jesus? @WhatJesus74]

@_Truthster Truth?

Question: How can we know if something is true or not?

[What Jesus? @WhatJesus74]

@ohbigboy33 @AugustineParzi1 I’ve already told you. Several times. No two people in the world have the same concept of morality. Therefore it’s subjective,

I’ve been nothing but nice to you, but you can’t seem to respond in kind, so I think we’ll stop right here. Have a good night.

[What Jesus? @WhatJesus74]

@ohbigboy33 @AugustineParzi1 I think that we all have different ideas of morality. But I thought we were having a conversation about it, sorry. If you don’t want to answer any of my questions, that’s fine. But I don’t think that helps either of us gain a better understanding of the other’s position.

[What Jesus? @WhatJesus74]

@ohbigboy33 @AugustineParzi1 But what if I thought ice cream were bad & raping were good?

What if entire nations thought that slavery was perfectly acceptable & there was nobody around to even suggest otherwise? They might declare morality objective, but it would be opposite to yours. How is that objective?

[What Jesus? @WhatJesus74]

@ohbigboy33 @AugustineParzi1 I'm not here arguing about any specific point of morality nor giving my opinion about ice cream or anything else. You have yet to provide any evidence for objective morality other than your desire for it to be so.

Do you have any? If so, I'd love to hear about it! Thanks.

[What Jesus? @WhatJesus74]

@ohbigboy33 @AugustineParzi1 Well I'm not sure how I'm doing that. If you ask 10,000 ancient Romans how they felt about slavery, you'd probably get different answers than modern Romans would give.

1. How does that make me insane?
2. How is that arguing its objectivity?

[What Jesus? @WhatJesus74]

@ohbigboy33 @AugustineParzi1 I think it's pretty obvious that morality is subjective. Look around and see that no 2 people share the same exact set of morals.

Note that that doesn't mean "anything goes". The vast majority of us don't want to be raped or killed. So we've decided to punish rapists & killers.
