Being an engineer, I like to think about designs and how they can be improved so I started thinking about the human body and it really is far from a perfect thing:1. Allergies and autoimmune…Continue

Cathy L. replied to Brady's discussion 'Hardest thing about coming out Atheist....causing pain to my religious family'"That has to be incredibly tough..
I'm 27 and have recently became an atheist after years of searching for answers that weren't there. I also come from a very religious family, and from what I have seen, I'm the only atheist in it. Not…"
Heather Scott replied to Brady's discussion 'Hardest thing about coming out Atheist....causing pain to my religious family'"Wow, well sounds like I'm reading about myself. I came out of the atheist closet almost two years ago. My parents never went to church while I was growing up. Never bought into any of it really. Now that I am 30 years old, my mom and stepdad…"
Jon Heim replied to Brady's discussion 'Hardest thing about coming out Atheist....causing pain to my religious family'"I had the same problem..though my father insults me for my beliefs and it gets to the point were i don't care anymore.

Yet Another Atheist replied to Brady's discussion 'Hey Creator, we're broken and need a design revision pls, kthxbai!'"It's like God is a lazy programmer... leaving bits of old code in the entire program, knowing full well that AddBacteriaReserve() is no longer a necessary feature of the Appendix object, and DealWithWormsAndParasites() is a useless function of…"
Brady replied to Brady's discussion 'Hey Creator, we're broken and need a design revision pls, kthxbai!'"Yes, appendix is definitely more useful on previous revisions of the machine. For the current model, it seems to do more harm than good...."

Yet Another Atheist replied to Brady's discussion 'Hey Creator, we're broken and need a design revision pls, kthxbai!'"You make a great point. It's similar to a redundant part in a machine... it might've served a purpose, and probably still does, but without it the machine runs just fine, and sometimes the part gets in the way and can break the entire…"

Yet Another Atheist replied to Brady's discussion 'Hey Creator, we're broken and need a design revision pls, kthxbai!'"Oh, I understand, and I really liked your post. Just answering your question. :)"
Brady replied to Brady's discussion 'Hey Creator, we're broken and need a design revision pls, kthxbai!'"I know anatomy heavily proves evolution is fact, I just thought it would be fun to post a look at our anatomy from the created's point of view of the creator, just to prove how utterly stupid the theory of intelligent design is.

Yet Another Atheist replied to Brady's discussion 'Hey Creator, we're broken and need a design revision pls, kthxbai!'"As for wisdom teeth, it had something to do with our evolutionary ancestors having larger jaws than we do today, which could accommodate more teeth for a rougher, coarser diet.

Brady replied to Brady's discussion 'Hey Creator, we're broken and need a design revision pls, kthxbai!'"Hmmm, that's interesting about the appendix. I've never heard that before....

- Atheist
- About Me:
- I'm an Electrical Engineer (graduated recently). I think it's innately in my personality to be curious about EVERYTHING. I love math and science (explaining why I went into engineering) and I love reading/researching anything about them. I think this is the reason I ultimately rejected the religion my family tried so hard to embed into me since I was little. I did a lot of research on it and realized that it wasn't the loving, all-accepting goodness it's made out to be. I used to be Catholic, although always doubted it, but just recently have actually came out and said I'm Atheist.
