The Insanity of Arguing on the Internet!

by cognizant dissident in

in an effort to get us all to lighten up and take ourselves and our beliefs a little less seriously, post your internet jokes and funnies here.. one of my personal favorites: .

I disagree. Let's debate it.

Kidding. Those posts are spot on.

That said, I think I do learn from debating with others and reading debates in which I'm not even involved. Sometimes it makes me a little more sympathetic, sometimes I learn something about myself (like when I'm wrong or when a viewpoint that was based on an old prejudice), and when I am wrong, it's pretty humiliating. And I think that's helpful for development of a critical thinker - knowing and accepting when I'm wrong. Those occasions hit me hard and make me work harder to get my facts straight and double-check my sources before clicking Submit again.

Plus we get to count time while debating on here, right?

since we've got a thread discussing views on the theory of evolution, i would like to start a boilerplate thread to discuss heliocentricity.. so, i ask our members, what do you think about the veracity of the astrological theory known as heliocentricity?.

is it true?

is it false?

Frankly, I deserved that for being sarcastic and yet failing to specify that I wasn't supporting Galileo's old theory of heliocentrism. Well played, old chap!

The EVOLUTION thread!

i would like to start a boilerplate thread to discuss evolution.

there seems to be a great deal of interest in the subject.. so, i ask our members, what do you think about the veracity of the biological theory known as evolution?.

is it true?

I'm not trying to start a flame war but this video is funny shit. It highlights the God-exception-to-argument-from-complexity...argument.

NonstampCollector has a ton of thought-provoking satirical videos.

BTS, I realize the sun isn't in the center of the universe. But I was under the impression that the term heliocentric/heliocentricity can also relate to our solar system. Is that not right?

I hate how people run around yelling EVOLUTION IS A FACT, EVOLUTION IS A FACT, when it's still just a THEORY.

(edit) nevermind.

So, I ask our members, what do you think about the veracity of the astrological theory known as HELIOCENTRICITY?

Is it true? Is it false? Does the earth REALLY orbit the sun... or vice versa?

Do you have a scientific reason why or why not?

PS. Yes, I'm being sarcastic, but with a purpose. BurnTheShips, you're probably going to hate me for for this satirical thread, but I really was hoping to emphasize the fact (for those who question evolution) that the scientific community considers evolutionary theory to have just as massive a mountain of evidence as heliocentricity.

From hard core JW Christian to Atheist within 5 months?

i found this video and it summarizes it very simple.

i hope you enjoy it.

life is too short to waste it on fairy tales.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0wwzc-vz7y&feature=related.

Nevermind. I skimmed your "Atheist or Muslim" thread. You've got more prejudiced views than a born-in dub but without the excuse of parent-imposed ignorance.

Simon17 makes a point that needs to be emphasized. There are many misconceptions about evolution, perhaps the biggest - and something I once thought, due to propaganda - is that evolution 'tries to explains life.' Incorrect. Evolution and abiogenesis are two different subjects.
