I personally think that it's ridiculous not to have solar panels installed on houses when they are built. Wrap the cost into the mortgage and they will more than pay for themselves
over the life of the home.

Solar panels?
I think they are overhyped, and they have quite a bad impact on the enviornment in production for a "supa-gween-luka-me" think (like hybrid cars)

You should look at some of the NEW tech that's coming in this field. It's really impressive.

I'm not interested in solar panels for the "earth" green aspect. I'm interested in Solar panels for the "money" green.

DO you know what farm pigs looked like back then? Yeah, wild boars. The pink piggies came long after columbus. Besides if anything your example proves that the pigs de-evolved as they did not move forward as much as they moved backwards.

you actually re-proved my point, in that case they wouldnt have "de-evolved", they would have evolved to live in an environment where there are no threats. So your saying farm pigs had tusks?

Farm pigs? no. The farm came years after the domesticated pig. I'm not sure how "something returning to it's previous state" is considered moving forwards aka evolution.

soooo you're saying there were no farms until after columbus came to the americas, domestic pigs evolved into wild boars, then evolved back into domestic pigs? According to you, there were no domestic pigs back then. Just so you know, a pig will still do this today. Take a farm pig and release it into the wild, and by the 2nd or 3rd generation its descendants will have tusks. Pigs are one of the fastest species to evolve... and btw i'm not sure you understand what evolution is if you're not sure how "something returning to its previous state" to adapt to its new surroundings is not evolution.
 
Whoa Whoa Whoa!!!

Hang on a second here!

Did some1 say "Aethists and Liberals are smarter?" at the beggining of this post?

Wow that is a bold statement my friend!

Did you know who Sir Isaac Newton was by anychance hmm???

He was by a loooooong shot one of the most smartest men that has ever lived!! He believed in god...

So what are you saying then????
Hey???

So are saying you are smarter than Sir Isaac Newton because you do not belive in god?

Sorry i don't buy it buddy....

Forgive me if i am wrong....But that's how i read it ....dude.....

I would say that this post confirms the allegations in the first post. :rolleyes:

Might want to read up on why your post is meaningless here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy
 
Stinky Stinky said:
What are you getting at here? allegation has more than 1 meaning. and why do you say it is meaningless?
Click to expand...

Your post was nothing but fallacy after fallacy and had no conclusion, facts, or any substance other than horribly skewed biased opinion.

Your post basically says:

Isaac Newton believed in some form of god.
Isaac Newton was extremely intelligent.
Therefore, believing in a god makes you more intelligent than if you did not believe in a god.

In itself, that is logically incorrect, and furthermore, blindly believing in something without any proof or solid evidence to back it up is actually quite unintelligent.

Of course, if you want to go along with your line of thinking, I will counter you that Albert Einstein did not believe in a god. He simply used the word "god" to describe the laws of physics that he did not yet understand.
 
No no no no no no... that is all wrong buddy!

The truth is to be frank with you "pal" Isaac Newton was and is still by todays standards a VERY VERY VERY clever man... and i am sorry to say... will more than likely achieved more than you ever will in your life time...sorry that is fact my friend.

AND NO!! I did not say believing in god makes you more intelligent than any1 else... i did not say that at all if look at my post "buddy" read carefully..."dude"

What i meant and was trying to ask (but you people failed to figure it out) is that do you think Sir ISaac Newton is fool for believing in God or not? Does that make him a fool?????? Basically is what i was trying to say "dude" So... Do you think he is a fool?

Read very carefuly buddy....
 
And who are you to judge people by what there religous views anyway????

There is no concrete evidence from both sides of the discussion...thus it is inconclusive...PERIOD

You think you are so "brilliant" because you don't believe there is anything better out there... BUT YOU YOURSELF HAVE NO CONCRETE EVIDENCE....so how can you come to this conclusion "buddy"

Explain that 1....plz.... "enlighten me"
 
Your posts are so contradictory of each other and made up of logical fallacies that there is really nothing to debate you on. You're just proving the conclusion of the study correct.
 
What are you talking about????

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Plz explain more

be more specific plz

"silence is golden"

I don't think a study is needed to show that atheists are smarter than religious folk.

Atheist: "We are here because of millions of years of evolution and natural selection."
Religion: "We are here because a huge invisible being lit a match, farted, and created the universe. Humans lived with dinosaurs. If you disagree you'll be punished. lolz"

Pretty cut and dry to me.

However, the study doesn't show that liberals are smarter, just that some liberal views go hand in hand with atheism.

Wow... i really do hope you are taking me for a ride here buddy... :rolleyes:

Not all people are like this....btw...and there is no evidence from both sides that a god exists or not....no one has been to the other side and back....thus it is not concrete or....inconclusive... NO 1 KNOWS THE ANSWER ABOUT LIFE AFTER DEATH....it is not possible to answer...period...so how can you be so sure / confident of what you say here???? Are you arrogant? Hell i think so...

and please respond this time...if you have the balls...that is.... ;)....okay?

Prove to me that Leprechauns don't exist.
Prove to me that Fairies don't exist.
Prove to me that Santa doesn't exist.
Prove to me that Harry Potter doesn't exist.
Prove to me that the Muslim god doesn't exist.
Prove to me that Zeus doesn't exist.
etc.

Believing in something because it hasn't been proven wrong is silly.

Huh?

All those things you said above have been proven to not exist...except "the muslim" god...the muslim god is something that cannot be proven at all...there is no evidence to prove it's existance and to not prove it's existance..

And greek mythology has miilions of holes in it's argument....take Atlas for example dude...What does Atlas standing on if he is holding up the earth???? CRAZY HEY??? Do you think it is true??? Hmm? Do you beleive in Zeus???

Atlas (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anywayz...

If santa would... he wud catch on fire to deliver all the prezzies in the world... he wud need to travel sooooo fast that he wud ignite....and burst into flames....he wud need to travel faster than the speed of light to deliver ALL people...

So... you think believing in something that has not been proven wrong is just silly....
well... that is a very foolish thing to say.

My answer is YES.

Yes i think it is foolish to believe in something that has not been proven yet and something that cannot be proven yet to be frank with you buddy...

Hope you can understand....

Nope, you can't prove that Leprechauns don't exist. The universe is a big place, surely they could exist somewhere, huh? Same with all the others.

No I don't believe in Zeus, because there is absolutely no proof for it. Christianity has a lot of holes in it too. If you want me to go into more detail, I will...

yes you are wrong, and forgiven ;) the op said on average, liberals and athiests are smarter. Not every athiest or liberal. And never did he say conservatives or religious folk were not smart.

yes, but science has MUCH more evidence to back up its arguments, whereas religion relies on stories people wrote hundreds of years ago. We can say with almost complete certainty that homo sapiens and dinosaurs did not co-exist because of carbon dating, and the fact that there are no cave paintings, etc. depicting interaction with them. Religion says otherwise, supporting their theory with a fictional book.

that was one of the most contradictory, nonsensical statements i've heard in a while. No, we don't understand. I'm guessing you're around 14 years old?
 
Okay okay maybe i need to bring myself down to your level....

1)I did not say that believing in god makes you smarter than anyone else...

2)I am saying that you people are foolish for believing (which has no concrete facts btw...) in nothing...aka aethiests.... there is no way to proove that god exists or does not exist...

3)AND iam saying you are arogant because you think there is nothing out there... YOU HAVE NO PROOF EITHER WAY my friend.....

Please read carfeully dude
