erm, theres no evidence for either.
cutting details off your bullshit and making it slightly vaguer bullshit (but still with zero evidence whatsoever) isnt really much better.

So my teacher still can't explain this properly to me. Surely you lovely people can.
Which wastes more space a square inside a circle OR a circle inside a square? (Prove the general case, NOT a specific case)

When two teams battle in a championship final, the Stars have a 54% chance of winning a game when playing at home and the Pros have a 57% chance of winning a game when playing at home. In a best-of-three matchup, the first game will be played at the Stars home field, the second game at the Pros home field and the third game back at the Stars home field.

What is the probability the Stars win the final in three games?


What kind of distribution would I use to solve this? How would I go about solving it?

What's the problem, OP? Did big ole scary evolution make you question your faith in lord jebus?

One of the fundamental claims you can hear from so-called "educated christians" to back up their Santa is that the reason for evil to exist in our reality is because God made an unique gift for humanity - free will, thus giving us a chance to willfully choose between goodness (heavenz, hugz, and infinite beer) and evilness (hellz, fried human meat, no hugz).
But its is obviously not true, because free will as such does not exist!
An act of free will, as I (and belive, many of you) see it is an act coming from-the-inside. In other words, an ability to produce decision without external stressing factors. This is Pure Free Will. Ofc we might rarely see it in real life, and theoretically most of our actions based by implying given information.
But do we really only imply information, but not completely dependant on it? I'd say no. We are uncapable of "inner actions", uncapable of REAL decisions, we are only reflections of the world around us. Whether it is physical of mental 'activity', you will never make absolutely unpredictable one.If you are scared, your mind acts scared. If you are scared hundred times, it will inevitably change your mind/soul/whatever. If you lock a person somewhere, deny him all sences (vision, hearing, touching etc..), this person would go mad, because this person does not have any "inner" wil inside him. Free will is fake, therefore we have no real choice between heaven and hell. With that summary, we have:
a) Mistaken God - therefore unworthy one
b) Trolling God - therefore funny, but still unworhy one.
Checkmate theists.

If I present a child with the concept that a fat old man dressed in a bright red suit climbs down the chimney once a year and leaves gifts under a tree that we bring into the house especially. It believes it, if it's parents and all those around him tell him that this man is real and we can go and meet him in his grotto in the shopping mall why not believe.

The evidence tells the child santa exists.

The child is told by its parents that there is an all powerful being that loves us and wants us to be good. Why not trust them?

Atheism is a philosophy based on observations where religion is a philosophy based on observations made several thousand years ago.

Would you listen to a medieval doctor when he told you that a pigeons anus should be used to remove venom from a wound, no you go to the hospital and the doctors usng current knowledge of the world inject you with antivenoms.

Thats why people persecute each other.

truth.

ITT: How do I deal with circles?

so... religion cannot be quantified. ever. thus it cannot be proved wrong. ever. because as soon as somebody tries to put forward their argument, they are automatically wrong because they are quantifing religion, and that in itself, is an enemy of religion....
hmmm
tl;dr religion cannot be proved wrong cos as soon as you try to split it up, you are in the wrong.

and nobody sees a problem in this?
nigga please.

That about sums it up.

Christianity: The belief that all the evil in the world came from knowledge, in a 'metaphorical' story at the same time assumed to be true. A talking snake told a woman to eat an apple, which MAGICALLY made her and her fuckbuddy intelligent, which MAGICALLY constituted a crime against nature, which naturally compelled god to condemn all of humanity to a life of suffering (for an admitted myth) until he came down to earth and had himself crucified in a fit of masochism to 'cleanse the world of sin' (instead of just snapping his fingers from on high).

So now even though everything is forgiven and whatever you do (including child molestation apparently) is okay, if you don't support a rich organization of pedophiles (or alternatively a rich organization of creationists), you will be tortured for eternity after death, because apparently a lifetime of killing jews isn't as abhorrent as living in the real world.

Holy crap, OP's pic IS goatse.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

Hey theists. I have an idea, right? Okay.

All you need to do is confirm god's existence under experimental conditions, right? Do the test, publish it in a peer-reviewed journal and your beliefs will be validated.

If you're right, you have a shitload to gain, and if you're wrong, you might as well know the truth.

Go man go! Most atheists are scientifically minded. Show them the evidence and you'll have some intellectual converts.

IT STILL MOVES, bitches!

Fuck that, only a theist would be dumb enough to try that. We atheists prefer to live and continue to observe the universe behaving according to the laws of physics.

OP here.

I got my data from here

And yeah it's just around the Adelaide area, but I wasn't trying to analyse global temperatures. That's already been done a thousand times over.
