Oh come on. You vote for a political base because you agree with them on certain policies but know that ALL of their policies (even the ones you don't agree with) will probably be implemented. And it's not like Right Wing ideology isn't intertwined. Lower taxes? Fewer social services. "Starve the beast"

This is true but it doesn't always work out that way.

Ironically, it's the Christian principles against abortion that probably put them in that position in the first place.

At other times, shit just happens. Medical bills, accident, lay-off, economy, troubled births, that put people in ruins.

So stop being an asshole towards shit you don't completely understand.

lol Darwinism is only scientific when applied to animals who can't or won't adapt. when people can't or won't adapt it's society's fault, or the systems fault, etc etc and then prop them up. It is also pretty stupid to say that ethnic groups' common genetics only affect their physical appearance and none of their intellectual abilities. Clearly Border Collies, and Beagles are both dogs, but one is generally smarter than the other.

burden of proof is on the positive. Without any proof (be it empirical, deductive and/or sustainable to critique) it cannot be considered in any way factual or of equal consideration.

It helps that in the US, the liberals (in America they're called conservatives, and the progressives are called liberals for some reason) are utterly intertwined with the religious right.

[Anonymous No.2701473]

But its wrong to assume god exists just because its non existance cant be proven (prove there isnt an invisible, untouchable being who knows it all behind you)

[Anonymous No.2701489]

>>2701467
The burden of proof is on any party that makes a claim. Theists claim there are gods then the burden of proof is on them, atheists claim there are no gods and the burden of proof is on them. Fermat claimed that no three positive integers a, b, and c can satisfy the equation an + bn = cn for any integer value of n greater than two, the burden of proof was on him

But how would you go about proving there are no white crows?

The difference being that maths are based on axioms one can rely on, in reality you can't just "check" for a god if you define it to be unreachable untill death

[Anonymous No.2701546]

>>2701489

But that's wrong you retard.

Atheists are not making a claim that there is no God. They simply do not believe in one because there is no proof for one. There's a reason the saying is "burden of proof is on the positive." In law, you have to PROVE your claim, even if it may be true in reality, if you can't prove it, you lose your case.

How would you know you have found all cows in the universe?

[Anonymous No.2701576]

[Anonymous No.2701601]

Why does existence occur? You think mathematics and logic are innate only because you exist in this universe and take it for granted, but if you actually think about it the universe could just as well have completely different laws beyond our comprehension. Why specifically is shit the way it is? It's not innate.

The world may not be 6000 years old and god may not be a zeus figure sitting in the clouds but science is only going to explain part of the universe. It's not really a question of whether god exists or not but what god is exactly, this is speculation but it is speculation based on scarce facts and on par with string theorists and historians. If you were logical, objective and impartial you would not partake in the hysteria that surrounded religion and look at different beliefs philosophically. That's all I'm saying, you guys need to chillax more.

I see this lie quite often on the internet. The truth of the matter is that no reputable dictionary has a "lack of belief" definition. See page 3 for more on this subject.

You see that isn't deep. That's just gay. I hate things "art" like that which feigns depth. It sucks, and is anything but deep or meaningful.

[Anonymous No.2701754]

>>2701601
I agree with what you're saying in general, what with the little knowledge we have, though greater than our ancestors, we cannot venture to guess what else may be out there. And the possible under-pinnings of the universe as a whole are still being sot out.

However, there are several arguments to be made about "other universes" if they were to exist. Slight changes in things like radioactive power and gravitational pull would make a universe which is theoretically uninhabitable for life. Some scientists go as far as to state that the universe exists to be observed by an intelligent observer, this is obviously a bit conceited, and it poses the classic question of purpose. I can't remember what the word for all this shit is, I'm pretty sure it is the anthropic principle. All these /sci/entists probably got inb4 me though so I'm prolly just saging... shit.

[Anonymous No.2701773]

Hey man, don't diss art. The culture surrounding art has more to do with the culture of a country or group than art itself. Art is a form of language. We can both agree that verbal language isn't perfect, efficient even (depending on the language) or even complete.

What is the middleground between, saying what we say and telepathy where we can just instantly convey our most complex thoughts to other individuals? Art.

>Throughout his life von Neumann had a respect and admiration for business and government leaders; something which was often at variance with the inclinations of his scientific colleagues.[40] Von Neumann entered government service (Manhattan Project) primarily because he felt that, if freedom and civilization were to survive, it would have to be because the U.S. would triumph over totalitarianism from the right (Naziism and Fascism) and totalitarianism from the left (Soviet Communism).[35]

>As President of the Von Neumann Committee for Missiles, and later as a member of the United States Atomic Energy Commission, from 1953 until his death in 1957, he was influential in setting U.S. scientific and military policy. Through his committee, he developed various scenarios of nuclear proliferation, the development of intercontinental and submarine missiles with atomic warheads, and the controversial strategic equilibrium called mutual assured destruction. During a Senate committee hearing he described his political ideology as "violently anti-communist, and much more militaristic than the norm".

>Von Neumann's interest in meteorological prediction led him to propose manipulating the environment by spreading colorants on the polar ice caps to enhance absorption of solar radiation (by reducing the albedo), thereby raising global temperatures. He also favored a preemptive nuclear attack on the Soviet Union, believing that doing so could prevent it from obtaining the atomic bomb.[41]
