Q&A: Boy, don’t you think God focked up on our alleged design? Stupid design?

Question by Dennis E. Gillient: Boy, don’t you think God focked up on our alleged design? Stupid design?

So many vestigial organs, our spine is not well DESIGNED for upright walking, we have useless wisdom teeth, most of us have bad eyesight that only gets worse in age and we have a tail bone.
We’re only one of the species that God completely dropped the ball on. God DESIGNED the baleen whale with a pelvis and femur as if it was supposed to walk on the land sometime before. That’s ridiculous!

In short, WTF was God thinking?
Creationsim argument comes down to an insult. Wish they could think up, oh I don’t know, EVIDENCE! Too bad their limited brain doesn’t allow them to do so.

Do they think that they know better than God on this issue?
Thanks for your replies. What we are actually talking about his is genital mutilation. I think people who allow this to be done to their children should be arrested for assault. How could any loving parent inflict pain on their child for no good reason? And there is no good reason!! How about you female posters, how would you feel if your parents forced it on you, and yes, it does happen!

Obviously. Honestly? It takes away sensitivity so there will be less enjoyment. It’s akin to the horrible clitorectomies that are performed on young women without anesthesia in many 3rd world countries. Torture.

When a man’s penis is hard, you would never know they weren’t circumcised. I personally believe that our creator wanted us to enjoy making love to each other and getting excited about it. There is much less excitement when the protective covering is gone. Rubbing inside underwear or pants without the foreskin to protect it, makes the sensitivity much less.

Did you know that some little boys take a few years to really get over the circumcision experience. If your little baby boy is grumpy as phuc for a few years after circumcision, it’s because the stupid doctors believe they don’t feel that pain. They are full of crap. They feel it very much so.

Our creator would not have designed all of our lovely men and boys with it had it not had a purpose. And for all you women, young or old? As long as they shower everyday, it’s not dirty either.

Planet Earth-Dangerous Design

The suppression of uncomfortable ideas may be common in religion or in politics, but it is not the path to knowledge, and there’s no place for it in the endeavor of science. Carl Sagan This present-day version of God of the gaps goes by a fresh name: intelligent design. The term suggests that some entity, endowed with a mental capacity far greater than the human mind can muster, created or enabled all the things in the physical world that we cannot explain through scientific methods. An interesting hypothesis. But why confine ourselves to things too wondrous or intricate for us to understand, whose existence and attributes we then credit to a superintelligence? Instead, why not tally all those things whose design is so clunky, goofy, impractical, or unworkable that they reflect the absence of intelligence? And what comedian designer configured the region between our legs-an entertainment complex built around a sewage system? Stupid design could fuel a movement unto itself. It may not be nature’s default, but it’s ubiquitous. Yet people seem to enjoy thinking that our bodies, our minds, and even our universe represent pinnacles of form and reason. Maybe it’s a good antidepressant to think so. But it’s not science-not now, not in the past, not ever. -Neil degrasse Tyson Religious fundamentalists may deny that evolution exists, but in the natural world it is religion that does not exist. -John Maisey of American Museum of Natural History Nature is telling us something and it

Q&A: Is there a news black out for the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, HR 4040?

Question by Arcanum Noctis: Is there a news black out for the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, HR 4040?

The gist of HR 4040 is to protect America’s children by putting tracking chips into their toys to make recalling effective. The chips have the batch number etc..

In the passing of HR 4040, there were over 400 ayes with only about 20 nays or no votes.

Why did both main parties overwhelming support security over privacy?

Are parents being exploited through their children for acceptance of RFID chips?

Within a couple generations, will this result in a chip-like society through the conditioning of the children thinking RFID chips in everything is the norm?

How do you personally feel about HR 4040?
“SEC. 103. TRACKING LABELS FOR CHILDREN’S PRODUCTS.”

How do you think they are going to be able to do that? Either with a new second bar code on products or an electronic bar code aka RFID chip.

Considering manufacturers have been focusing on RFID chips, and not developing a new second bar code, they are going to use RFID chips for recall purposes because its “feasible”.

What people fail to understand is that the “tracking label” isn’t specific, which manufacturers will use what is “feasible”.

One tiny piece of the enormous control grid.

Each pixel, viewed by itself, means nothing. Stepping back, to gain a wider perspective, we can see a picture emerging.

Most people just concentrate on one or two pixels and deny that there is a larger picture.
