Officer Wilson not indicted in killing of Michael Brown
by Simon in

after a thorough investigation and weighing of the evidence the grand jury has decided not to indict the officer.. the reaction so far seems as predicted - people refuse to accept that the result represents justice despite claims that is what they wanted.. there is now violence and vandalism, including gunshots.

let's hope the police contain the troublemakers.. .

Race relations is a very thorny issue. There are cases where profiling is definitely a reality and programs like stop and frisk in NY don't help the situation. There are statistics regarding stop and frisk that go back years showing that nearly 90% of those frisked are completely innocent of anything. Only 9 to 11% of people frisked are white people and 54% are black and 31% are latino. I look at numbers like this and it's hard to argue that profiling doesn't happen. I do agree with most of what you're saying Simon, even though it's impossible to truly empathize with what minorities feel and how they perceive the world around them because this is based on so many variables.

In the Ferguson case, the media didn't do anyone any favors with how they intentionally whipped up a frenzy with the non stop sensationalism and speculation before actual facts were revealed. That's what sucks and the people of Ferguson are suffering for it.

Creationist Should Dismiss Genesis Quickly

chris tann,.

in your earlier post you seemed to be under the impression that genesis and science were somehow compatible .

however, the truth is the two are not reconcilable at all.

You can present any logic, and evidence along with faults in the Genesis account, and it will still not be enough for the typical fairy tale believer.

It's the non-typical ones that we hope start to question and truly think and they're definitely out there and on here, sometimes lurking for years, learning how to ask hard questions and get real answers that have nothing to do with magic. :)

One other note here, when Occam's Razor says the simplest explination is often the most likely - simplest doesn't mean the least amount of steps. Simplest means the answer with the least amount of assumptions. And I cannot think of a bigger assumption than an all powerful God.

Very well said.

If You Don't Believe In God Anymore, Do You Still Say God Bless You or Thank God, etc.?

honestly, do you??

and if you do, isn't that hypocritical!.

Sure, I do! Doesn't mean I'm calling out to any specific deity just like when I say 'what a load of shit' I'm not actually referring to a large pile of poo.

nasa discovery proves the bible scientifically accurate.

the debate.

for decades there has been a long standing debate between science and religion as to the validity of the biblical genesis account of creation.

i just found this out last night.

(preface: this is a husband and wife that i have come to be friends with after leaving the borg, they are christians).

we were sitting around visiting last night and having a good time when my friend starts in on illegal immigration and politics and starts throwing out his hate speech which eventually turns to homosexuals.
