You should be a feminist Feminism definitions from 4 different dictionaries: "the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes." "the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities" "the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men."

Is God just or merciful I heard an interesting question and would like to hear what your thoughts is on this. Question: "Is God just or merciful? He can't be both since having mercy is to suspend justice" Often God, at least in the abrahamic faiths, is posed as both of these, but will this dilemma make anyone think?
Clearing up misconceptions and misunderstandings Clearing up misconceptions and misunderstandings Recently there was a thread calling out on the genetic similarity between chimps and humans. Link :http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2100750 But I felt it needed some cleaning up, unfortunately, it was closed so I'm dedicating this thread to clearing up for those mistakes, and as a FAQ for evolutionary biology, for all of you who are clueless as to how it works. I'm not an expert myself, so I hope if any elite questions come up, that such intelligent people like Dimo or MaikuX3 will give a little clarification :) I will start off, to the TS: Genetic similarity varies as to how you measure it, and what you count in.

Your opinion on different religions/positions I'm making a statistic project, and I was interested in peoples view on the different religions.

Atheism ( I know its not a religion, but I want to know peoples opinion on this position too ) When given a fast rate, please state what position you have. Thank you all very much for your time.

The case for evolution Evolution is a FACT, not a "theory". Scientists have different terminology from that used in everyday speech. In the scientific context theory does not mean a fuzzy hypothesis or a guess, but rather is defined as a framework which is made up of facts and is used to explain observations and make predictions. Evolution is ,for all intents and purposes, a fact simply because it has occurred and continues to occur. Darwin's theory of evolution is a scientific theory in the sense that it is a framework which consists of facts and is used to explain current observations or predict phenomena which may occur. In order to offer a defense of evolution, I must define it. Many arguments posed against evolution are due t
