    Need Help with Creationism Talk

    I will be giving a talk on Creation Science at my local Atheists, Humanists, and Agnostics group in a couple of months (April 1, actually. I like the irony.). What I plan on doing is taking excerpts from Creationist videos and commenting on the arguments that the Creationists make. What I...

    If Gods Could Talk

    Reading and posting in a few of the current threads that have to do with why people in different parts of the world believe in different gods got me to thinking about this: We hear religious people all the time talking about how their god talks to them. But why is the god that does all the...

    Talk me out of it.

    I haven't been in this section of the forum for very long, so I thought I'd take a risk and start a thread. I believe in the possibility that there is a theistic God. I am not a part of any religion or denomination. I'm hoping for a discussion of why this possibility cannot be true. Hopefully...

    I'm frightened. Talk me out of formatting my HD.

    I'm calling it quits on my laptop but not ready to spring for a new one (I really only need it for word-processing, storing/printing pictures, a little spreadsheeting, a little powerpointing, some mild 'net surfing, and playing the occasional game. For a long while now I've had virus and worm...

    According to science: Is it better to speak to babies with baby talk? or adult talk?

    According to science: Is it better to speak to babies with baby talk? Or adult talk? Do babies learn language better and more effectively when we talk to them using high pitched vocalizations, and sounds such as "ga ga goo goo?" Or when we speak proper (or at least normal) adult sentences using...

    Let’s talk about 101 Most colleges have a numbering system identifying the courses being taught. In the college catalogue you are apt to find that your freshman courses are Physics 101, Chemistry 101, Literature 101, Geography 101, etc. The introductory course to a particular domain of...

    Let's talk about Jesus independently of Christianity.

    What do you think of his philosophical opinions? I am just beginning to read what he actually said and I am somewhat perplexed. So far, what I've read does not appear to suggest what a lot of Christians seem to believe. Since I have not read all of Paul, Mark, Matthew and Luke (I'm assuming...

    Database talk: why use one over the other?

    The .NET discussion was lively enough, so this should get real interesting :) I think we've hit on this here and there elsewhere, so pardon if this is a duplicate, but anyway.... Seems to me for "smaller" and/or simpler stuff, Access is more than enough (note to purist database snobs: stop...

    "Liberal" Talk Radio In America

    So, recently I have been testing the waters of so-called "liberal" talk radio here in America. I finally found the Air America affiliate in my town and tuned in to get the intellectual and honest look at the issues that firebrands and bombthrowers on the right don't have. My biggest problem is...
