Comment on Science by Darkman140
Hm, let me see. I said this motivational is stupid on several levels, and I insulted atheists. If by your definition, those are signs of mental instability, then yes. Unfortunately, it's not a widespread definition, at least, making fun of atheists isn't classified as a mental illness by medical books. So I guess no.
Last time I checked, mental retardation is a disability of the human brain. The phrase took on as an insult since.....mental retardation has been possible.
I think it's appropriate to call someone "mentally retarded" as an insult if they're believing crap out of a book that has been not been proven to be reality, while the concept of Evolution has been a clear proven observation. These people don't have a big enough capacity to accept science as REALITY.

Aha, very cute.
You know it.
You don't even know what I meant.
Meh, nevermind. Scurry off now.

Very well put indeed Christistarfish!
Always nice to see when people are keeping up the fight against (self-)destructive ignorance.

Disagreeing with the notion that all religious people are mentally retarded, and that science is meant for debunking religion may be considered ignorant by some peopl, and whether this is true or not may be the subject of debate.
Replying to the wrong comment is just plain sloppy. You really have no excuse.

Might I also add that no one has actually proven the process of evolution by direct observation, since no one can live long enough to observe the various mutations manifest themselves in the formation of a distinctly different specie from an existing specie. We have only seen the end result. Fossils cannot prove evolution correct because half the time the expert scientists are not even sure if they belong to the right animal. Either that or they only find one bone fragment and try to make educated guesses about where the fragment came from. However, that does not say that evolution is wrong. It is proven correct because at one time our civilization recorded only certain species and subspecies as existing, then several centuries later, we find new species that look and behave like the previously established species. The process of evolution was not observed, we just observed what it can explain. Funny thing, no where in the formulation of the Theory of Evolution did Darwin say I have evidence that God does not exist. I say that to the Creationist side of the argument as well. None of the people who had the greatest influence on our study of science ever said they could prove God does not exist. No one who legitimately worked in the field of science ever really cared about the existence or nonexistence of God. Even the legitimate scientists today, by legitimate I mean they have degrees, who have a personal belief that God does not exist refuse to venture as far as saying that science can confirm their stance. The reason that anyone says that is because someone some time ago within the atheist community saw science contradicting their interpretation of the Bible, and they already believed the Bible to be false all the way around. To them this was an opportunity to suggest that they were right and they had a way to prove it, without rationally thinking about what their claim actually meant in the terms of the science that they claimed supported their stance. Let me say this, legitimate science does not operate to prove a political or religious point. If you want anything to prove those points, go study philosophy, art, and literature. Science, mathematics, and history do not operate within those realms.
