He cemented the link between atheism and science within the popular imagination.

Now every debate related to science ends up descending into religion vs. science nonsense as I'm sure this thread will.

That's right. Like yesterday in my physics lecture we were talking about electromagnetism and suddenly the professor started talking about science vs religion.

This.

The other day in physics, teachers show us how to demonstrate integrals.

Random feminazi fag in the class:

"But if x tends to infinite then does it mean that god doesn't exist?"

One hour later in biology class, on a lecture on the nervous system, random faggot asks:

"But, if there is a 2ms delay between our sense and our brain's interpretation, then does it mean that we have a soul?"

It's not related to the educational system. Basically it's like the greenfaggotry. Every time you're having a nice diner, you have pro-green fag bringing the "WE'RE ALL DOOMED ARGUMENT", then you have uncle pro-denial fag bringing the "BUT SCIENTISTS ARE ALL LIARS AND CORPORATE WHORE SO THEREFORE GLOBAL WARMING DOESN'T EXIST".

And you, as a /sci/ fag are in the middle of this, you're trying carefully to explain that both of them have misconception about the whole thing. And then they both shit storm on you. Because people can't have a non emotional debate about such topic.

Dawkin is a trollcow feeding other trollcows. He doesn't contribute to anything relevant to science.

All of them are reading religiously "The GOD delusion".

If they wanted to troll religious people then they should have chosen politics/philosophag class.

Religion has NOTHING to do in science. Neither has atheism. It's irrelevant.

>>1111478

But I can't avoid going to high school before going to SUPERIOR COLLEGE where people will actually know about their shit.

Actually, my sciences teacher is a pretty cool guy and knows how to counter troll them. But seriously, that's learning time lost because of fucking idiots.

Do you know the difference between past and present tense?

Yes he contributeD, now he doesn't anymore. He's just trolling.

So basically you're happy that someone you consider has a brilliant scientist, is now spending his time trolling instead of doing a more relevant job where he actually had talent?

>> No.1111508

x publishes y.
People talk about y because of that.
Thus x is a fag.

For x enter:

Anyone who has ever contributed anything significant to society.

For y enter:
All significant contributions to society

Result:

Everyone who is important is a fag.

According to OP.

Well done.

Also, a week ago. When another religious debate started in class to the point that the teacher just gave up on giving his lesson, I watch everyone getting into this stupid "debate" (not really a debate because they were all agreeing anyway) and say nothing because it's just irrelevant.

Then a classmate point at me and say: "You say nothing, are you offended, ARE YOU A BELIEVER?"

I had to carefully explain them that I was an atheist, and thus not giving a shit. It still rose some suspicions though.

Feels good bro, now I know how political opponents felt in communist countries.

You don't chose to hang around your classmates actually. That stupid debate existed before Dawkins, but as said earlier, he's a trollcow feeding other trollcows.

Now you have people thinking they're scientists because they've read a book about how religion is dumb. As if you had to read a fucking book to realize that. But it's still ok. Just, stop, talking, about this shit, nonstop, when I'm around.

wow, at we never even talked to each other about what was taught. Then again, we're English.

The difference between being religious in a communist dictatorship and a science class is that one uses evidence directly to explain its view, and the other uses a philosophy loosely based upon the general perception of science, ergo one is more justified. Also, don't act as if you don't know what peer pressure is, you sensationalist faggot
