Reply to No one watches the news anymore because they never provide any solutions to the problem reported and only exist to infuriate you for clicks and likes. by Inaerius
Why do you expect the mass media to provide solutions to the issues they are reporting on? Their job is to report.
Unfortunately you probably need to rely on your elected representatives to solve problems in your area so your mileage may vary on that.

>Why would someone spread misinformation about this subject?
That's why I wrote intentionally or by misunderstanding from the reader?
There's plenty of kids and people of varying levels of education on here, a lot may not know how fetal development works, what's so bad in finding out more about it?
>So no more humour for anyone in these terrible times. Unless it is scientifically accurate ofcourse
Don't strawman. It's not like the joke was taken off for not being scientifically accurate, lol.
People clarifying on the incorrect parts of a joke or humorous sentence doesn't detract from the joke, especially since this subreddit isn't exclusively humorous and thus it's not implicit it's a joke.
You're supposed to read the showethought, laugh/smile, go read the comments, see people clarifying.
If you already knew and it was obvious for you you can just go "duh" and move on, no harm done. If you didn't know you can go "huh, TIL" and move on, not only no harm done, but you now know something new.
How's that bad?

And that's proof of how bad faith is. "Well no matter what, I'm right, and that's more important than the truth of what was meant when it was written or the billions of people who've believed otherwise in the middle."

As a Christian… yes… I believe that god created everything, but he used evolution to do so. I really hate it when some Christians are under the assumption that you can’t believe in science if you are Christian.

Some of the catholics I know have a vision of creation that is absolutely compatible with evolution.
Basically they consider the garden of Eden as a metaphore, the forbidden fruit being knowledge (or consciousness).
Their god is supposed to be omniscient, so it makes zero sense that he forbade Adam and and Even from eating the fruit, knowing that they would eat it anyway, just to ban them from the garden of Eden afterwards, this would be useless cruelty.
Instead, god created man in his image, meaning that he knew that eventually, this man would acquire knowledge.
So he never banned Adam and Eve from the garden, they just could not live in the paradise of not realizing that they will eventually die anymore, so is the curse of consciousness.
You could then see Adam and Eve as a metaphore for the first humans that "became conscious", in that they understood that their life will eventually end, "they realized that they were naked" can meat a lot more than just not wearing clothes.
Leaving the garden of Eden means going from an animal to an human.
Now one point we could make nowadays, is that humans are not so different from many animals, that just have a different form of intelligence, but that doesn't invalidate that methaphore, and nothing said that some animals didn't eat the forbidden fruit as well.
The idea is that human are specials, in that they don't realize their mortality when they are wounded or dying, they are born knowing it, they understand what's in the mirror, what they are and how meaningless their life is in the grand scheme of thing, this is a theme that is not shared only by religious people, but religion here can be seen as a way to explain to people what being human is like, a gift and a curse.

The same way you feel god can make decisions outside of time to make decisions in. Acausal existences are weird. There never was a nothing and every time you guys reassert it you make the addiction of faith look worse.

But they don't except in the head of validation seeking theists. Very few people ever believe there was a nothing, and the good faith attempts to communicate it to you in your language always fall on eagerly closed minded ears.
We both believe in a first thing, you believe it is infinitely more complex than what it caused by merit of being able to hold the details of our universe in its mind and actively create design from them all at once.

So does that mean a baby fits the criteria of a parasite?

I'm sorry but if god exists i think he created the universe and time, and so holds knowledge that you can not begin to understand and never will be able to.
We as human can not even have our brain picture what a 4th dimension representation look like and you think you could begin to understand what does it means to be outside of time? Or that we would be able one day to explain the creation of the universe
Now if you don't believe, a scientific explanation that could occur outside of time is such as weird as a god. I don't know why people are so shaken by the theory or religion
