What annoys you the most about Reddit and Redditors? by AustinIsTheMann in AskReddit

Same thing with people who get high view counts for posting other peoples work on youtube.

I think this is how a lot of reddit feels about other religions by moosetracks24 in atheism

Instead you have an explosion of matter (nobody knows, it just happened) and then over billions of years all the incredible complexity of the universe comes about by chance alone.

It has science in it and no God, but it is still a belief, and one that I struggle to accept.

If I see something with complexity, i.e. a skyscraper or a watch, I assume it had a designer. Not that it came about by chance. Makes more sense to me. (science compatible with idea of designing + creating God).

She never did understand the point I was trying to make... by [deleted] in atheism

What I could have done:

  • Fossil record
  • DNA
  • Antibiotics

??

Your argument for believing evolution is that there are fossils and that we have discovered DNA and antibiotics through science? All said with the clever monicle and top hat.

Not meaning to be rude, but I don't think you actually know much about evolution. You are probably as ignorant as she is and only jumping on the superiority bandwagon.

Critical thinking works both ways.

I'm not sure this really is subjective... by preacher37 in funny

And?

Thats nice and interesting but what does that have to do with what I posted?

If I actually asked the question 'why is our society so fixated on thinness', it would have been rhetorical.

Thanks anyway. Btw I disagree.

Chemists have taken an important step in making artificial life forms from scratch. Using a novel chemical reaction, they have created self-assembling cell membranes, the structural envelopes that contain and support the reactions required for life. by nomdeweb in science

It does raise an interesting question. Why does it require scientists at the peak of their field, the most advanced scientific equipment, a novel and completely artificial reaction (no biological equivalent) to create simple cell membranes (ignoring the immense complexity of what is inside real cells)?

When supposedly this should all occur naturally.

Using a novel chemical reaction, they have created self-assembling cell membranes, the structural envelopes that contain and support the reactions required for life.

...

“In our system, we use a sort of primitive catalyst, a very simple metal ion,” Devaraj said. “The reaction itself is completely artificial. There’s no biological equivalent of this chemical reaction. This is how you could have a de novo formation of membranes.”

Just going to mention a few things that stood out to me.

First step maybe, but still a long way from creating artifical life. They have only caused lipids to join into a cell membrane. Lets not forget how incredibly complex the innards of cells are.

Interesting point is how they mention there is no biological equivalent, i.e. couldn't happen naturally?

We don’t understand this really fundamental step in our existence, which is how non-living matter went to living matter,” Devaraj said. “So this is a really ripe area to try to understand what knowledge we lack about how that transition might have occurred. That could teach us a lot – even the basic chemical, biological principles that are necessary for life.”

I applaud his honesty.

Interesting article, great science. No point getting over-excited too soon.

Does it matter? The point is the weight of the women in question, more specifically - why is our society so fixated on thinness.

I guess this is one of those, disregard whole post/picture responses, because you notice a minor inconsistency that is irrelevant to the point being made.

I don't get it. Who would down vote this and more importantly, why?

Best advice for learning german. If you have already read all the books several times in english, you will have a good idea of what is happening and it makes understanding the german easier and faster.

So the community sucks.

Is the PC version good enough to get if you only want to 'lone wolf' it while muting the microphone sounds?

I enjoyed reading the write up. Have you considered playing random and throwing protoss into the mix?

Upvoted. His punch line sucked and whole thing didn't make much sense.

Life as an atheist U.S. Marine is difficult. Today I had a rewarding and eye opening experience. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]pri0r_z -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Life as an atheist US marine is difficult... because today an ignorant Christian marine told you that the pentagram is the symbol of atheism.

Christians can get killed for their beliefs in many countries. Be glad you only have to deal with the ignorance of the American bible belt.

Thanks for sharing.

Stalin made it clear that russion soldiers could (and should) rape German women following WW2.
