This is how it should read: 'God is the ultimate engineer & designer... He has a lot to teach us about optimizing slip and grip. Snakes are the result of God's design. God invented it first and we can use God's design features He used in snakes' m.phys.org/news/2018-05-s…

@Watchman_motto so by my estimation, if one was to believe that there is a God, and one is to believe that this God might endeavor to communicate with us across vast distances of time/space - that one might come to the conclusion that the conceptual "book" would be the best way to go. Writing.

@restless_Rev @_MrsAtheist_ This is one of the tropes they use in the white evangelical churches. And since no one there knows -- or cares about -- science, history, literature, archeology or ANY kind learning, the sheep swallow it whole. Then they bring it out in public, and get destroyed.

@_MrsAtheist_ There is no answer acceptable to you. Your criteria is such that you would discount almost all history of you applied it evenly. Not just Alexander. Every philosopher. Most kings. Every single ancient literary work is less arrested to from greater distances of time.

First, we’re told there were no meetings with Russians. Then, we’re told Trump had no part in drafting the false Trump Tower statement. Then, we’re told he weighed in. Now, we’re told he dictated it. Not a word can be trusted of Trump or his staff on Russia, or perhaps anything. twitter.com/abcpolitics/st…

Asked about shifting explanations for statement on Trump Tower meeting, Rudy Giuliani tells @GStephanopoulos: "This is the reason you don't let the president testify. Our recollection keeps changing, or we're not even asked a question and somebody makes an assumption."

@MrOzAtheist Naw, he's probably a decent guy ... in Russia. Just working 9-5, to make ends meet. Not many jobs over there, after Putey destroyed the economy (soon to be duplicated here by Orange Idiot). Anyway, don't hold it against "Don't." And besides, his English is pretty good!

@ManInTheHoody Trump's man-crush, Putey, did something like this a few years ago. Went missing for over a week. A national ruler! Tons of speculation and attention grew, just like here. Then, one day he popped back up. No explanation ever given.

Valedictorian Ben Bowling sneakily did a temp check during a speech to his Kentucky high school "'Dont just get involved. Fight for your seat at the table. Better yet fight for a seat at the head of the table’ ~Donald Trump" Cheers “Just kidding, that was Obama” Silence 😐

I strongly believe that we are heading towards some sort of crisis with Trump and this Russia investigation. Either he will be brought down by the system or he will bring the whole system down. This is not going to be pretty.

@brainouty @OnYouLikeGlue Jesus rose from dead, but his death saved men from hell. Mohammed rode a horse to the moon, and cut it in half with his sword. Evangelicals say well go to we if we don't believe the bible. Muslims say we go to hell if we don't believe the koran Show ur right and they're wrong

@brainouty @OnYouLikeGlue I agree there may be a "god" of some sort. Many atheists have believed this (Spinoza, Paine, Einstein). But no reason to think your god is true. Tell me why ur god and bible r any more true than Mohammed and the koran.

@questar1959_ron @apetivist A change. And a very, very bad one. But not a huge one. As Pogo used to say: "We have met the enemy, and he is us."

@questar1959_ron @apetivist Actually, we've ways been a lot this way. Slavery. Jim Crow. The Klan. Lynchings. McCarthyism. We're just seeing more of that now: with America's first fascist president. Lots of reasons, but there it is.

@Prophecy_YEC @MFreethinkers @Drachengeifer1 @AiG What a shame there are cult movements that urge people to believe an ancient collection of myths more than the scientific method that has improved their lives dramatically. What a shame some people fall for it.

@Momto5Wifeof1 @AiG Carrie and people like her try NOT to understand evolution, in particular, and science, in general. All they know about science is that it scares them. This is their attitude to learning, and to new ideas. That is why they home-school.

@AiG Not only do fossils show signs of rapid burial but instantaneous death! If evolution is true, we should find the process, even STAGES of evolution in fossils. BUT WE DO NOT. Once again, the FOSSILS THEMSELVES point to the flood, and creation just how GOD describes in Genesis!
