No one can ever know the real truth, as long as everybody is being brainwashed by the media, science, religion, politics, atheist propaganda and the occult. Visit sprword . com and see what’s really going on. Open your eyes, wake up and spread the word now before you all become more delusional
Just another example of being ignorant my friend, if you don’t believe me, why are you promoting my case. Also, there is nothing supernatural in what i am saying, why would you postulate that?
Also your calling me a moron, but do you know what it really means? When it come’s to being stupid, people are really ignorant. See the documentary named “Stupidity – Dumbing down of society”
MODERN science is very easy to believe in on a superficial level, but it ultimately denies life of purpose and rejects meaning. Science was not always that simple before Galileo, Newton and others were forced to put aside the spiritual dimension in order to survive along side the church.
A very commendable read is “The Reenchantment of Science” a collection of essays by leading figures in postmodern science, published by Griffin.
Obviously there will be bullshit and corruption in alternative circles as well as conventional circles. To scientifically validate many “alternative” practices will require a postmodern (new) and progressive approach to science (which is of coarse a great thing, and part of the human thing).
The rationale behind dawkins is absurd. He admits to there being intelligent design behind the human gene but will attribute it to alien life. This is the person you believe in, this is your leader.
Dawkins was quoted out of context in the creationist propaganda film “Expelled”, while discussing the possibility that aliens designed us.
He did not say he, or any sane scientist believes that to be the case.
Dawkins believes organisms evolved on Earth by a natural process, beginning with chemical evolution(no aliens) and taking off with Darwinian evolution.
Your slanderous comments are unwelcome here, but if you have any questions about science or biology, feel free to ask.
Dawkins is nonsensical re medical science. The medical tests he’s referring to are handled by the drug companies who consistently fudge figures. In Canada five members of it’s health board came forward saying they were being pushed into accepting what they considered to be dangerous drugs. These 5 were fired for their attempts to protect the public.
Conflict of interest in the medical field is rampant. Dawkins is spreading garbage that bears no relation to real world of medicine.
the sheep, a subtle message!
very interesting

No, fuck you, we can approximate the truth pretty damned well using scientific methodologies.
Open your eyes to a textbook moron, and take your supernatural conspiracy theory bullshit elsewhere

Real Truth™
Certainly another perspective.
dawkins is deluded
the scientific method is arrogance
lol
Alternative medicine is a blue collar profession by people who simply don’t unerstand the complex biochemistry.

if you really believe the scientific method is “Arrogant”, never go to a Medical Doctor, Resident Nurse, or Dentist again.
