PART ONE: Buddha's a bitch.

Omegle
Talk to strangers!
You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
Official messages from Omegle will not be sent with the label 'Stranger:'. Strangers claiming to represent Omegle are lying.
You: Evolution is correct. If you disconnect, you agree that it is.
Stranger: I agree with allot of things
You: Do you agree here?
Stranger: I don't know
You: Why not?
Stranger: Well I believe evaloltion is how we came to be
You: Then you agree.
Stranger: But I also believe in karma and reincarnation
You: Karma is impossible.
You: There is no regulating force for morality.
Stranger: Karma isn't impossible, you do something bad it'll come back and bite you in the ass
You: Bad is an idea made by humans.
You: It's not a physical law of the universe.
Stranger: Who do you think you are? Sheldon?
You: I don't watch the Big Bang theroy.
You: The IT crowd is much better.
Stranger: Great your a moron and up yourself
You: What?
Stranger: You can't just say something someone believes is impossible
You: I did.
You: I clearly can say anything I can think of.
Stranger: Yeah that's pretty racist
You: How is it racist?

>> No.2535893

oh trolls

>> No.2535896

PART DEUX: Payback's a bitch

You: I was not detesting a race.
Stranger: Which makes you up yourself
Stranger: You can say what you think but you should probably keep somethings to yourself
You: I will if it is needed.
You: Right now it is not.
Stranger: Cause something you say can land your ass in jail for offending a Buddhist
You: That is not probible.
Stranger: Yeah it is
You: What law?
Stranger: Ever knew how Mel Gibson was sent jail?
You: For drunken disorderly conduct.
You: And Buddhism is not a race.
Stranger: Before his last wife, he offended a Jewish rabbi
You: You are clearly not a Buddhist, as a true Buddhist would not have been offended here.
Stranger: There you go again, how far up your ass is your head?
You: Why are you offended?
You: These are only words.
Stranger: Im sorry I'm not up myself like you are but you just said something I believe in is impossible an fake
You: Why does it matter to you what I think?
Stranger: Because it is people like you why we have debates about religion and science, like science has helped allot of people but there are things it can't solve
You: Science is not the issue, the issue of limitations of the human mind are what will stop people from solving things.
You: There is no evidence that Karma exists.
Stranger: Your calling it fake, that's pretty offensive
You: You should realize there's no reason to take offense.
Stranger: How would you like it of I told you that science will never solve the worlds problems?

>> No.2535903

PART THRICE: Thrice should be used more often.

You: I wouldn't really care.
Stranger: That's right, your head is to far up your ass to see
You: To be offended?
You: You should know by now Karma only means that you should be a good person.
You: The idea that not being good will make your life terrible should not be motivation to be good.
Stranger: You know what, you seem like a fucking nerd why don't you fucking figure it out
You: You seem like you don't understand your own faith system.
You: I can see you chose it out of arbitration.
Stranger: Luckily I'm half buddhist
Stranger: And listen up nerd, I'm sick of you dickheads thinking you know everything
You: No one knows everything.
Stranger: You think you fo
You: You have the choice to simply ignore it if you wish.
You: Why do you choose to not ignore it?
Stranger: Cause I like getting my point across
You: But I don't care about your point.
You: You shouldn't care about mine if it brings you this much grief.
Stranger: And I know if I log off, you get a satisfying feeling that you have just ruins someones life
You: I do.

PART ZED: Zed is a really stupid way to say Zee.

Stranger: Then that's why loser
You: That's why I'd feel good?
You: I am entirely fine with that.
Stranger: Now you see, this is why no one wants to date nerds
You: I don't see why that matters.
Stranger: You can spend your life being up yourself or you can spend your life with people
You: I can do both.
Stranger: No one wants to be with someone who's up themself
You: There are people who would.
You: You are acting like you know what everyone would want.
You: As if you knew everything
Stranger: Yeah there called slaves and there illegal
You: How would that be slavery?

PART ONE: Fuck witty titles.

Omegle
Talk to strangers!
You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
Official messages from Omegle will not be sent with the label 'Stranger:'. Strangers claiming to represent Omegle are lying.
You: Evolution is correct. If you disconnect, you agree that it is.
Stranger: no....
Stranger: i dont agree
You: Why not?
Stranger: u mean darwin evolution?
You: I mean changes in a species over time.
Stranger: haha...ridiculous
You: So species can not change over time?
Stranger: species may change in thier own image with slight alterations
Stranger: but not a monkey to man
You: Their genetics change them, not the beings themselves.
Stranger: haha...so how the single gene existed
Stranger: ?
You: Which gene?
You: There are many different ones.
Stranger: the first one
You: A chemical reaction arose.
Stranger: where does the chemical reaction occur...source?

>> No.2536110

Part duo:

You: Also, evolution is only change in a species over time, not where or how the first organism came to be.
Stranger: i believe that god created the world
You: Why is that?
Stranger: will u agree
Stranger: ?
You: I have no reason to.
Stranger: creation by god...
You: There is no reason to assume so.
Stranger: if there is a machinery...do u know how to opereate it?
You: I may or may not figure out how to use it if I do not know before hand.
Stranger: for the first time if u ever known about it
You: What do you mean by this?
Stranger: ok...everything is created by god...thats what i know personlly...
You: Why do you know that?
You: You have no evidence of it.
You: Nor do you have evidence you're not a brain hooked in to a simulation of your life.
You: But neither matters because they are ambiguous to a point of no use to anyone.
Stranger: so u believs only the theory
Stranger: u depend on them...huh
You: It is fact spices change over time.
Stranger: but u dont have the answer how they have been created
You: But why does it matter?
You: It doesn't mean a god did it.
Stranger: it means god did it...
You: Why?
You: There are billions of trillions of possibilities.
Stranger: he is the author and explaining that he created the world
You: But why?
You: You have no source for that other than your own arbitration.

Also I did all this after a day without sleep, so that's why I'm being full on retard.

Part Trois:

Stranger: through his disciples in the bible
You: The bible is not self evident.
Stranger: how do know that?
You: Because there is no proof of it being so.
Stranger: yes there is a proof...the bible is having full of eye witnesses and evidences and correlation between everyone
You: A book can have lies in it.
You: It is simply text.
Stranger: its not mearly a book...but its all of facts
You: What facts?
Stranger: without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists..
You: But why?
You: The system is arbitrary.
Stranger: i dont know how to prove that there exist a god but u cannot disprove it
You: I can't disprove that there isn't an invisible man behind you right now.
You: I can't disprove that we're both dead and this is a shared dream.
You: But the lack of evidence renders the pursuit of such ideas meaningless as they are improbable.
Stranger: realy if u dont have faith u will not believe something which is invisible
You: Faith is meaningless to me.
You: It serves no function for me.
Stranger: so u will never know there exist a god which is truth
You: Why is it truth to you?
You: Why does it matter?
Stranger: its such along topic
You: Are you saying you're quitting?
You: That's not good support of your god.
Stranger: no
You: So why does your god matter?
You: Life would function the same if you didn't believe in it.

>> No.2536117

Part Quadro:

Stranger: i already said if u dont have faith u are not able to know the god who he is
You: But why would it matter?
You: What constitutes a god anyway?
Stranger: because he who created us and the universe
You: And what if something else created him?
Stranger: god cannot be created by someone...he himself is a primary existence
You: So why does it matter to you if there is or isn't one?
Stranger: ok...i cannot argue with u
You: Because you are wrong.
You: I only have fact on my side.
You: You have philosophy and hyperbole.
Stranger: i dont have any answer
You: Because there are none.
You: This is what you needed to see.
Stranger: only for u the athiests
Stranger: i may not answer ur questions...but i know the fact spiritually...
You: You do not know, you only feel.
Stranger: yes i dont know,,,
You: Then none of this mattered ever.
You: You need to see that what you think is arbitrary and there is nothing wrong with that.
Stranger: i know what iam thinking and doing...
You: You think you think you do.
You: Not all of your will is yours to know, you have an unconsciousness.
Stranger: i dont agree with u
You: You don't agree that you have a portion of the mind that is required for human thought in it's current form?
Stranger: aha..really
You: Not everything you do has a reason.
Stranger: ?
You: Really what?
You: That you are unconscious of some things about yourself?
Stranger: ok...keep ur theory of evolution with u...

>> No.2536122

Part everything may have just went better than expected:

You: It's a fact.
Stranger: only for u
You: It's fact by definition.
You: Do you agree dogs have many breeds?
Stranger: yes
You: Do you agree dogs pass on traits to their offspring?
Stranger: yes
You: And do they relay the information needed to create offspring with DNA?
Stranger: but u dont have the answer where the dog came from...
You: The dog came from the wolf.
Stranger: the wof?
You: That also, doesn't matter for the argument.
Stranger: *wolf
You: Dogs have many breeds due to the species changing over time.
You: This occurred due to mutations and recombination in the DNA passed along different breeds.
You: Humans chose some dogs for their traits, those traits are combined with others.
You: That is selection and evolution.
Stranger: evreything should have the start...tell me which one existed first?
You: The wolf existed before the dog and is it's progenitor.
Stranger: before the wolf?
You: Do you wish for an extensive tree of many of the worlds known life forms?
You: That would answer your question.
Stranger: do u show me the life?
You: What do you mean?
Stranger: plese show me the life of trees,dogs or wolf
You: Do you mean the evolutionary tree of them?
Stranger: yes
You: It's impossible to fit all of the information here, so start here.
You: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_history_of_life

PART UNO:

You: Evolution is correct.
Stranger: no Christianity is correct
You: Why would evolution be wrong then?
Stranger: because particles of molecules and atoms have to come from somewhere
You: How would that render evolution false?
Stranger: ok do you see any evolving happening
You: Yes.
Stranger: where
You: Did you know there is a frog that has starting growing teeth?
You: I am getting the article now.
You: http://io9.com/5747552/why-did-this-frog-species-suddenly-evolve-extra-teeth?skyline=true&s=i
Stranger: yeah but that's a frog
Stranger: what about the rest of the species on this planet
You: It takes time to divide in to species.
You: All life on this planet has DNA that controls the organization of a being, and that medium can mutate.
You: That ensures evolution will happen.
Stranger: sure yo can alter DNA
Stranger: but it doesnt mean that it's going to evolve

>> No.2536180

Two, jew.

You: That is the definition of evolution,
Stranger: yeah I know
You: The medium controlling the overall being changes.
You: That ensures change in the structure.
Stranger: ok
Stranger: ok so if there is an evolving process why havent we changed
You: Because it takes a very long to for large changes to occur.
Stranger: ok now here's where you're wrong
Stranger: let's try to make it more understandble
Stranger: let's look at the 1600 till now
Stranger: has there ever been a person that mutated or evloved into a new form or structure
You: Yes.
Stranger: who
You: Everyone.
Stranger: we're all the same
You: Your genetic code is unique to you.
You: Not everyone looks alike.
You: The differences are due to genetic changes.

>> No.2536192

Part one less than quad.

Stranger: yes everyone's DNA structure is different but we are made of the same thing
Stranger: flesh, blood and organs
You: Do you mean mater?
You: Yes, because that pattern works well enough.
Stranger: evolution has nothing to do with matter
Stranger: people die everyday
You: Evolution simply means changes in a species over time.
You: Nothing more.
Stranger: yeah ok but nothings changed over time just weather patterns and the orbital functions
You: Everything is changing in various ways.
You: Just because they are ways that you do not see or understand does not mean they are not there.
Stranger: sure but it's the same thing 1000 years ago to
You: Has the moon moved further away from the earth?
Stranger: maybe
Stranger: you dont know tha
Stranger: t

Part greater than or equal to four:

You: It has and we do know.
Stranger: good for them
Stranger: but nothing evolved to something else
You: Do you know how long large changes take?
Stranger: depeneds on the human body or animals physical change process
You: In general.
Stranger: no
You: Millions of years.
Stranger: we werent here millions of years
You: Other animals similar to us were.
You: You do realize it takes course over millions or billions of generations, right?
Stranger: you know a comouter takes numbers and gives you an average on how old it is
You: Takes what numbers and an average of how old what is?
Stranger: to determine how old something is scientist make predictions on how old that artifact is then imputs it in a computer
You: This has nothing to do with artifacts.
Stranger: well my point was million and billions of years dont exist
You: Why not?
Stranger: if it did wouldnt we be in year 1 million or billion by now
You: We're in the age 13.75 ± 0.17 billion from the start of the known universe.
You: The calender system we use now is not based on those measurements as such large numbers would be unnecessary.

>> No.2536207

Part five fifths and five firds:

Stranger: yeah but no one recorded from the start
Stranger: do you know where the first calender was created
You: Why would a calender matter here?
You: It's part of an arbitrary time system.
Stranger: ok if you believe that some one had to figure that out
Stranger: the first calender was created in Rome
Stranger: the Roman army took the days that Christ was born and split it up into months, days, weeks etc
You: What point are you trying to state here?
Stranger: that there is no such thing as a million or billion years
You: Because romans didn't take that in to account?
You: The time system is arbitrary mostly.
You: Do you have nothing more to say?

You: Evolution is correct. If you disconnect, you agree that it is.
Stranger: hii
Stranger: lol
Stranger: im an atheist.
You: So?
Stranger: i agree.
You: I see.
You: That's very good.
Stranger: i was going to pretend to be a 12 year old girl.
Stranger: but you've ruined it.
You: I have a tendency to do that.
You: Sorry.
Stranger: heh.
You: But really, a 12 year old girl?
You: why.jpeg
Stranger: my best friend is a fundamentalist christian, unfortunately.
Stranger: it's amusing to see who cracks onto 12 year old girls.
You: My deepest condolences
Stranger: i know.
Stranger: are you a science person, then?
You: Yes, I am.

You: I have sworn an oath to Carl Sagan.
Stranger: ah, the wise pothead.
You: The wisest of them.
Stranger: i didn't pay much attention in science class. but since leaving school i've read a bunch of dawkins and stuff.
Stranger: mostly out of a desire to convince my friend he's a fool.
You: Don't bother
Stranger: the problem is he's a really nice guy.
Stranger: sigh.
Stranger: who homeschools his kids.
Stranger: and teaches them the earth is 6000 years old.
Stranger: he has agreed to read an evolutionary book of my choosing though.
Stranger: any suggestions?
Stranger: he's actually a really smart guy, evidence to the contrary aside.
You: Tell him to start with Douglas Adams.
Stranger: oh, the guy who said the fabulous thing about the garden being beautiful enough without needing to believe there's fairies at the end of it.
Stranger: sure.
Stranger: but i feel like i have one shot with my friend. one book to get him to read.
Stranger: i want to make it a good one.
You: How about On the Origin of Species?

>> No.2538356

You: This could however be too heavy for a first read.
Stranger: yeah, that's what i think.
Stranger: basically i am thinking of a book that explains evolution convincingly, thoroughly, but a digestable read.
You: Go with Dawkins.
Stranger: i bought dawkins' 'the greatest show on earth' recently. that seems a decent summary.
You: Blind Watchmaker / Selfish Gene
Stranger: the blind watchmaker is great.
Stranger: i worry though, that he will be put off by dawkins' labelling him a 'history-denier'. heh.
Stranger: i have to read it though, first, i guess. perhaps it will be persuasive enough.
You: Your friend is in the debt of reason. At some point - some event or someone will have to blaze that fact in his face.
Stranger: i don't mind if he believes in god.
Stranger: despite my anti-theist views.
Stranger: i just want him not to be a complete ignoramus.
You: But the two go hand-in-hand.
You: One contributes to the other.
Stranger: we know that.
You: So you should very much mind that he believes in God.
Stranger: oh, i do.
Stranger: i find his views vaguely offensive, even.
Stranger: to contradict myself.
Stranger: but we have to choose our battles.
Stranger: i would much rather he was a god-believer who taught his children about science than a creationist.

Stranger: he has a higher iq than i.
You: And you know this how?
Stranger: so i feel this is possible.
Stranger: he has taken the iq test.
Stranger: i've taken an informal one.
You: They need to be administered professionally for them to be valid.
Stranger: i know.
You: And even if that was the case, I would submit to a slight case of neuroticism for your friend.
Stranger: but i know enough to know he's an intelligent guy.
Stranger: just brainwashed.
You: Where are you from if I may ask?
Stranger: sydney, australia. you?
You: Israel.
Stranger: ah.
You: So I've seen my fair share of theistic destruction and imposition.
Stranger: sure.
Stranger: not a chomsky fan, then? :p
You: Why not?
Stranger: i just wonder.
You: I have great respect for the man.
Stranger: he's my favorite intellectual.
Stranger: sorry for the assumption.
You: It's okay.
You: Were you referring to his views on science or on politics?
Stranger: politics.

You: I don't really care either way.
Stranger: most jews i know dislike him.
Stranger: view him as a self-hating jew.
Stranger: again, sorry for the assumption.
You: It's okay.
You: Most Jews would use that term as defence mechanism in such events as undesirable debates on undesirable topics are being held.
Stranger: yes.
You: I don't approve of such methods.
Stranger: i have an interest in the israeli-palistianian issue i suppose.
Stranger: i'm more read in politics than science, i confess, but science has captivated me in recent years.
Stranger: i just must confess my ignorance in a lot of scientific areas.
You: Are you telling me....
You: That you don't know about the differential shape of the cosmos as dictated by General Relativity?
You: I am shocked and appalled.
You: But you should take things into perspective.
You: Most people I talk to are not only ignorant, but rather hostile towards science.
Stranger: heh.
Stranger: yes.
Stranger: well, i have had to sit through fundamentalist church sermons.
Stranger: so i'm well aware of ignorance greater than my own.
Stranger: and the suspicion of science in general is a great shame.
Stranger: my father is, although not a christian as such, a new age, homeopathy-believing, astrology-believing fellow.

Stranger: my mother was similar.
Stranger: anything i do know about science has been from my own general reading.
Stranger: its surprising i know anything at all.
You: But homeopathy is all water...literally.
Stranger: yes. we know this.
Stranger: he doesn't.
Stranger: he sends me links all the time trying to prove it works. and then i google the people who write the articles and they turn out to be ufo nuts.
You: Oh wow.
You: Well I suppose we're expecting too much out of our respective environments.
Stranger: sure.
Stranger: well, i am going to go and pretend to be a 12 year old girl again. before i go to bed.
Stranger: it has been nice talking to someone intelligent on here.
You: In that case, I simply have to ask...
You: Do you like candy?
Stranger: hehe.
You: Have a nice one. See ya.
Stranger: no, i prefer savoury foods.
Stranger: take care man.
You: You too.
You have disconnected.

>You: There is no regulating force for morality.

>You: Bad is an idea made by humans.

looks like someone makes up a dialogue because it's his wet dream to appear superior to people who believe in karma
the part about the 2 goofy soap series gave it away.
