Until there is an actual explanation you can say its been “proven billions of times”

All the evidence we have supports evolution theory

No one is handwaving away problems we are yet to solve, except the people just claiming “must have been gods”

There has always been and probably always will be new problems to solve. Scientists have been working on trying to understand and resolve those problems, and we know so much more today than we did 100 years ago. We take evolution theory as a fact, because it’s the theory that has been proven billions of times again and again, and we keep finding more proof for it. Just because we might not know everything yet, is not an argument against the only working theory we have.

Your Christ illusion has been proven zero times

Opinions are opinions. Opinions don’t change the fact that earth is orbiting the sun or that religions are a hoax

The way I have heard it explained is that before the big bang there was nothing.

It’s more like what happened before big bang has no consequences to what happened after. Because this, we have little idea what happened before because there’s no direct evidence.

Because science tries to understand the unknown using reason, religion throws the reason away and says it was gods.

Evolution theory DOES explain where we came from, and the theory is proven billion times over and over. It’s insanity to believe anything else. As Dawkins neatly put it, we have more evidence for evolution theory than we have for Holocaust.

but most atheists are aware of this or just handwave away the problem.

No, ‘atheists’ do not handwave problems found in scientific theories away but study it until it’s no longer a problem. What religion does is just says “it must be gods” and throws any reason to thrash bin

Yep, but we have tool for trying to understand it. It’s called scientific method, and it has so far been able to help us understand the mechanics of the universe without resorting to crazy claims such as “yeah must have been super powered aliens”, which is the only offer from religion.

I do get that there’s a chance that it’s all bogus, and that there really is or was a god that created everything in a way we have been able to measure it, but why exactly should I believe it? Which story should I believe? ‘In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way’, the same human made stories written over centuries trying to explain the world around us. In this context religion seems nothing more than a predecessor to scientific method turned into crowd control tool.

Growing up in religious circles I kinda learned that there’s no good in religion. Surely there’s good religious people, but they spread the evil word the same as those who want to bring the oppressive shit onto others.

Religion has never been good for anything but for controlling masses

Yeah man something about Russell’s tea pot

We have no evidence for gods, that’s it. There’s no need to provide evidence for absence of god, the burden of proof belongs to the person who makes the claim (that there’s a god/gods).

No, it was supposed to be a single movie, “Star Wars”, but due to the success of it they started working on further movies.

No, Kevin

Thank you friend<3

Your mom is lame

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

The last one is completely reasonable. “We have had so much problems with this platform that we decided it’s not worth using time on”

That’s for testing engines alone. Static fire is separate yes way further down the line when you have the rocket built and ready to fly

I use Debian btw

Europe, USA, probably elsewhere too.

Agreed, it can be very frustrating - and is often used for that very purpose, to let the person know they just wasted x amount of time to compose a message no one is going to even read let alone take seriously. But I do not think this is really a good indicator for someone being a child, it’s just intentional insult.

I tend to think they’re either young or generally underexposed to how human interaction works.

There’s a lot of us who are not very great at communications for various reasons. I personally might just lose interest in conversation and can’t get myself to put in the effort to actually contribute value to it and just phase out, and same happens online in a way. As fucking annoying it might be for the person I’m conversing with, it’s not intentional nor meant to insult
