Bad news for atheists -- evolution works agains them?
 

Interesting. Fundamentalism may outbreed secularism.

"childbearing is rarely accidental"??!?

The more religious the parents are, the less are their children. So I don't think it has much of an impact.

This quote addresses that assertion:

So this is the explanation of why the world is filled with religious nut jobs?

This is not only applicable to being Atheist or not, but a general rule of life. Have at least 2 children or your family line gets extinct.

The misconception about evolution is that it selects for the "Best" and the "Smartest". No it doesn't. It selects for the FITTEST in light of conditions. Being well adapted does not necessarily mean being the best. One KEY aspect of fitness is the ability to pass on one's genes.

I have a lot of kids and I am pretty sure they don't believe in invisible pink unicorns.

This threadtitle is mindblowingly stupid.

Yeah, yeah, idiocracy vs. the Flynn Effect

Maybe. But if successive generations keep getting smarter, it may reverse the religious breeding advantage.

For most intelligent people, billions of years of fossil records are hard to refute.

Thanks for the bump, champ:thumbsup:1orglaugh

You're right, my whole family is very religious(Catholic) and I love shocking them with my atheist comments + My partner in business comes from a Mormon family and he hates religion, smoke joints and fuck every single girl that cross his way

So because not everything can be explained you fall back to the god thing? That's nothing more than an excuse for not thinking. "I have no idea so it must have been God."

But let's go to church, give money to churches, pass laws that jibe with the bible/koran, start wars and shun science just in case there is a god? Religion should be treated like the disease it is.

some type of BULLSHIT! god eh? oh, cmon ... GOD is the imaginary entity one relates to when s/he comes to her/his wisdoms end ... just becoz we cant explain it yet doesnt mean there is some "higher entity" ... religion is the worst crap mankind EVER imvented :2 cents: mankind MADE gods, NOT the other way around :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

That's a horrible way of thinking though, and definitely isn't going to help anything. If you don't have the answer for someone, don't worry about it, because God did it?

I believe in Ancient Aliens.

This world needs a big fucking slap around the head and one major wake-up call. Religions...Gods were the ancients (quite reasonable) answer as to why we exist, they worked out eons ago that using cause and effect nothing made any sense, even now it makes no sense, either the universe has always existed and will always exist or it has a beginning and an end. How do you magic something out of nothing ?? You create a God or God'S.

Most of my family is devoutly religious. I spent two years attending a christian school. My brother, sister and I are all atheists. With one exception, all of my cousins are non-believers of varying degrees.

Unfortunately that doesn't really translate across to Islam. Muslims, especially in the West, seem to want to attach themselves to the religion so they belong to something.

cracks me up when people find exceptions to rules.....then call those exceptions rules...

Yes. You can breed stupid.

He didn't say it was god, he said something is omnipresent and who knows, maybe it is a godly thing. Evolution doesn't disprove a godly power, it disproves the Christian fairy tale. There could still be some godly driving force behind creation, at least while using evolution as your defense. The fact that evolution happened doesn't really disprove anything on either side of the Atheism argument. It works fine as an argument against christian fundies who think god creating man as we know it a few thousand years ago. It proves Christians are wrong, not the existence of a high central power, nor Atheism...

Nice avatar :thumbsup

I don't believe in internet sites...

It's not a bad news.

Just drop a bomb on all fundamentalists.

Tell me about it. I've seen it in a lot of your ramblings. Like it or not, most devoutly religious parents have children that aren't believers.

Out of the millions of possible explanations the ONE that most people cling to is the existence of a God. Humans lack imagination.

Says the burnout who loves weed so much he has to write everything in green. Time to get out of high school, kiddo. :1orglaugh

I agree completely

Smoking this weed must have given me the special ability to correctly comprehend what people are saying and not twist words to fit whatever my agenda is... maybe you should try it. :2 cents:

I haven't smoked since I was in high school. You'll grow up sooner or later. :winkwink:

Really, what are you babbling about? My agenda? Twisting your words? Put down the bong, Chong.

You idiots are no better than window licking retards. Really, get off the couch and do something with your life.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

That only really applies within an educated society where the children develop the ability to think for themselves.

Talk about twisting words. You and your pothead agenda. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Show me where I have ever said that there is not a God. I don't know of many atheists who deny that maybe there is some kind of supreme being. We also know that it's just as likely that we were blinked into existence by a giant plate of pasta or maybe the universe was just always here. If people consider God a plausible explanation then they should consider all other explanations equally plausible.

It's true, I loathe religion. I hate willful ignorance. I hate the notion of a God because when someone invokes the idea of a supreme being, science comes to a halt. For ages evolution couldn't be taught in schools despite there being rock-solid proof that it's real. Why? The bible said God created man so case closed. The same goes for the origins of the universe. The bible says 7 days. "In the beginning..."

Medicine has been held back because of religion. Laws are passed by people who have an imaginary friend. In our society it is considered a positive trait that one goes to church and lives their lives according to a book that I am positive is fiction. That scares the shit out of me so admittedly I get a little militant about it.

Fun read but that's about the same as saying evolution must not be true because gay's don't reproduce for the most part, yet new gay people continue to be born. Look back in history you can easily see the trend is away from fundamentalism not towards and has been for a very long time. It's a slow process obviously but the article may explain why it's taking so long though, its an uphill fight.
