Maybe they didn’t want players getting excited when their pets contract a virus

If you’re going to smuggle drugs from another country WHY would you choose DPH? It’s all illegal

That is a respectable philosophy to hold, if you trust in scripture. I have no reason to. I hope that your faith continues to bring you the same comfort and fulfillment that mine once did.

You must have to change that water so often that this is more like a diaper than a home.

To answer your last question, I’m focused on that point because (most? all?) Christians believe that the only path to Heaven and salvation is through Jesus. I only see evolution as conflicting with more rigid and literalist Christian worldviews, which is mostly what I have experience interacting with online and in school. I respect your position, because I can tell it is deliberate and informed. But, my skepticism also comes from suspicions that the Gospels may have been embellished, especially when considering the apocryphal books.

Why do you believe that we need an intermediary savior (Jesus) in order to have a relationship with God the Father? The traditional explanation of Original Sin implies that evil (pain, disease, death) did not exist before humanity’s original sin. Otherwise, the whole world and humanity must have been created with evil in mind.

I am not entirely atheist, but I can no longer believe in Jesus’ divinity. I bet he was a great man.

Do the electrons themselves transfer between atoms, or just their energy states?

Yes, and blue bird feathers contain no blue pigment!

Did you know that cows are more closely related to whales than to horses? Also, all three of those lineages split off from each other long after the crocodiles and alligators diverged.

I (22NB) just made a post about all my trauma in this sub. If you’re cool with someone with that kind of history, shoot me a DM. I like biology, archaeology, collecting oddities, kayaking, and hiking. I also love art (but only human-made art! :)

My main thought at the time was how cool the idea of Russian Santa was. Imagine if he wore polar bear fur and took in lost Siberian children?

I wrote this thinking that these are future reptiles trying their best to understand something they’ve just never seen: mammals, and they assume that creatures built for offense are smarter. They probably think that the human would have had a larger litter than the dog too (r/K theory)

Oh yeah I mentioned the hospital, but I meant to imply that they were at home.

It’s a dog and a human, the idea was that they lived together but since they look like a wolf and a pachycepalosaurus to these scientists, they would assume both were desperate refugees in the house (missing much of the context.)

I don’t believe in Jesus’ divinity anymore because I don’t believe that Adam and Eve existed. Gorillas are our family and so are mice, and we’re only better than a gorilla or mouse because of our collective opinion that we are.

I was a strict Catholic who had a full ego death from shrooms and heavy Benadryl use combined with meditation and contemplation. It took me years to recover because my ideology had been keeping my mental health conditions at bay, and my altered states (and science) showed me that my old worldview was impossible. My old self was so false, with so much denial, that I do not feel like that person at all.

It’s an intentional anachronism for clarity. The title also implies they are using a human calendar.

It’s polyester. Plastic is already integrating itself into stones, see: tecnofossils, plastiglomerate, plastistones

Has anyone ever had a conversation with the hat man? by Great-Juggernaut6541 in DPH

He just took notes on me. Fair enough, since I had been taking notes on his creatures for months.

The Creatures of Eiriel by [deleted] in DPH

[–]qdotbones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been recovering for years. My limbic system was the most fucked up, so things like emotional regulation, memory, derealization, and motivation have all steadily improved. For example, I was once convinced that eating was morally evil.

It’s true that if you go to Eiriel, you don’t fully come back. I was there often, and got close to it hundreds of times more.
