Yea, consider this;

Einstein in terms of IQ was approximately in the top one percentile of the population.

Meaning that about one percent of humanity have the same or higher intelligence than Einstein.

With seven billion people that is about 70 million individuals, that is more than enough to maintain genetic diversity.

In fact, I remember reading some Nasa study of multi-generation spaceships that found that the bare minimum for normal breeding to maintain genetic diversity was something like 150 individuals.

We could uplift the entire human species to an average of what we now consider genius level intelligence in one generation by using the genetic material from these 70 million individuals as basis.

Not quite op, their tongues secrete lowgrade acid that dissolves pigments i.e. they lick themselves into their preferred pattern.

It works for humans too. Grey hair is caused by cats licking the hair of sleeping humans.

The things which Atheists don't want to believe, are the only things that matter.

There is a difference between soul and spirit. The soul is the connection between mind and will, it's a persons reason, how they choose to interpret existence and their own being.

Without soul there is no reason,
Without spirit there is no meaning,

In the case of spirit; we have the obvious drive, or meaning, to reproduce -- to find a partner to whom we'll create children with. We are attracted to the spirits of others.

In the case of the soul; taking into account the actual living spirit, there would be no use in reproduction if there was nothing to reproduce for. Why would we have kids if there is no reason to to the action?

Spirit (Reproduction)
Soul (Reason For Reproduction)

The soul, or Reason, allows us all to co-exist. Without reason then we would all just kill ourselves. Be reasonable.

Hey, /sci/, you rational guise.

Why are people so irrational? I find it very difficult to discuss something with someone rationally. Of course I don't say I am always right, but I always try to back up everything with arguments and evidence, if possible. Most people don't even fucking care about it and call you names based solely on faulty assumptions.

What are your experiences with this, scifags?

tl;dr - What are your experiences while trying to argue / discuss something rationally?
