There are minor scraps about which mechanism is more important, but the range of disagreement is less than you would find inside just one of the 39,000 christian cults.Princes should definitely be dolphins not sharks.

And indeed it is not just organ systems but our four limbs that were possessed by our common ancestor with lungfish, 415 million years ago. Back then our arms and legs were lobed fins. It is interesting that the anatomy of lungfish has changed very little even though its DNA has changed hugely in all that time. Of course us princes and…[Read more]

If this was instituted in the US then New Zealand would suffer economically. We essentially already have Demand Two, although private health insurers do operate here. The UK is similar, and their NHS is still the best health system in the world, I can tell you this from first-hand experience. NZ's isn't quite as good because we don't have the…[Read more]

“I am not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief is positively harmful. Reviewing the false claims of religion, I do not wish, as some sentimental materialists affect to wish, that they were…[Read more]

Happy those who feel such emotions! Only, when they try to extract definite statements of fact from these impalpable…[Read more]
