What is the best approach for buying books as a science major?

The only time I committ an ad hominem is when the person is downright out of their element. One can't allow a religious person to speak on science. They're drowning in mythology, how dare they speak a word refuting truth.

There are exceptions. Some people are religious for family or traditional reasons, not because they're truly warped.

Your statement was simply a misunderstanding, it's a common one too. Why? Because truth has one enemy. Falsity.

While falsity is certainly being killed off one by one, it'll be a while. I do my part and spread truth and kill falsity.

Yep keep actin' immature.

Me? You are acting like a child and you have graduated from college and are most likely in your 30's. I am probably half your age!



Ok if you INSIST there is proof that evolution happened where as you still haven't given any real proof say it did happen. Did a lifeform just pop up outta nowhere and begin to evolve? No if intelligent life came from evolution it was by gods will and the life he created.

Welp people. Here we have it. The classic case of a religious mythopath who asks science to prove itself over mythology. A sad case. And she neglects to understand that evolution makes no claims about the origin of life on earth.

That'd be a HE to you, you ignorant, atheistic, pitiful person.

How about the classic case of a fanatical atheist who can't accept that without religion science is nothing and that religion is NOT MYTHOLOGY.

You have violated rule number 2.

You're superimposing the myth that religious people cannot comprehend science onto reality.


And there's a nuance you missed in your crusade to convince the rest of us that anyone with a slight religous bent is a raving lunatic; while evolution does not speak of abiogenesis, it does claim intelligent life evolved from unintelligent life (unless you believe no organism is unintelligent).

I'm going to be nice.

This would require that this was a myth. I would argue it's certianly not, and I would need only logic to do so. However I'm not going to take the time, I don't think you mean it to seriously

Secondly, a slight religious bend doesn't mean a lunatic. Not at all. I am in no means under those pretenses. I'll let it go to get to might point.

Evolution is easily defined, as it was a concept written down specifically. It's a short theory, it fits on a business card in font size 12. Anyhow, evolution does NOT claim that intelligent life came from unintelligent life.

No idea where you got that. Evolution doesn't even involve the idea of intelligence, nor does any hard science. Intelligence isn't a scientific term.

Wherever you heard this it exists not.

Evolution merely makes the claim that various agents are in effect which produce said results on said biological levels.

This claim is simply not a part of evolution just as much as e = mc^2 includes nothing about the letter Z. Not sure how you made this mistake.

One other points. Even if I am wrong. It isn't a myth. It could be false, but the term myth doesn't mean something false. A myth does not HAVE to be false, in and of itself.

You just bent the terminology a bit. No matter.

Where do you propose intelligent like came from? Thin air? other intellignet lifeforms? where did those come from? and the one that came before those? there was not intelligence from the dawn of life. Intelligence grew slowly
