    It you’d believe the fairy tale of how a single cell Ameoba was able to creat something as complex as the human eyeball. Who’s gullible now?
    Still people believing in an imaginary sky grandpa?

      Almost every animal in existence has a complex visual system, there's nothing miraculous about it.

        It was certainly disappointing to see him drop that easily rebuked creationist talking point.

        Some - if not most - people just don't have scientific brains hence they can rarely be convinced through reason. Conspiracism is born of the same brain type. The belief there's an evil entity/hidden hand controlling everything and that if only it could be banished then utopia would be restored.

        It's fascinating to observe anthropologically.

          People don't do well with neutrality and blind optimism makes people feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

          We could do without the greedy people consolidating wealth and power though, wouldn't be perfect but better.

            I'm willing to concede that some religionists are fundamentally happier than I am. I can't pretend to believe in God though.

            As for the wealth and power, change here starts with the individual. We've had a good look at materialism in the west and it seems to make people incredibly depressed. Reorient one's life away from the worship of fame/money and the power in it dissolves.

              I decided to just be honest and am forced into agnosticism whether I like it or not, so its do you wanna be happy and believing in BS or be honest and at best just have a stoic acceptance of what is?

              Minimalism works for me, nothing to chase very little to maintain. I have never met a high maintenance woman for example who was happy.

                Ryan still doing more talking than fighting! This was a tactical masterclass in running away from an average fighter like Duarte

                  But it came from a single cell Ameoba? Sure, fairy tale

                    Agree….notice all the “men” making disparaging comments about him? I’m getting the feeling most of the Cheeto face dusted belly floppers commenting are seething with man envy over their very own life failures the moment they see a man that captures the attention of women and is athletic sends them into an immediate rage reaction.

                    It’s actually quite pathetic and humorous at the same time.
                    LOL I think you're thinking way too much into it and frankly it sounds like you have a crush on the guy
