I have the book here but couldn’t find that line. Does the “come about by natural means” here mean as in how the image of God formed naturally in peoples minds or that the existence of God came to be in a supernatural event? That said, I found the book interesting with the discourse around religion. I don’t think it was just about disproving god, there’s 10 chapters, and only 2 of them talk about proofs.
Somewhere in the opening paragraph, if memory serves. And he was talking about “natural means” as in evolution - since evolution by nature leads from simple to complex, it couldn’t possibly start with a complex being.
Though, a biologist making attributing any kind of logical progression to evolution is already a bit spurious - evolution favours only what survives better, not what’s “more complex” or whatever. Unless… perhaps… it’s being guided by some kind of… higher being.
Got curious and skimmed the preface and start of chapter 1, but still couldn’t find that line of thought. Oh well, better just leave it be then.
okay, this is the most productive thing I’ve done during my work day
I think I gave the like primarily for the line of text beneath the picture. There isn’t a single thing in this thread I can relate to more.
This one is one of my favourites
Why does the picture only show up as an link? I think i have sacrificed all the turtles needed for it to show.
lol, is that GTO?
definately. Need a japanese anime exam paper to complete the meme.
Wow, I’ve literally become the embodiment of a cautionary tale. I feel like I’ve turned into the forest dwelling monster that parents of small rural villages warn their kids about. (I’m almost a bit proud of myself for that. This might be my greatest achievement.)
yes it is GTO
Y’know, the mnemonics that really try to make a sensual association with a word don’t always get me on that level, but this one does. This one does.
VeryA bit late to the party but it’s this one I made! Button Images Go everyone, make some memes
I have no meme-creation skills so I can’t add anything other than some likes to this thread
Hideo Kojima talked about memes in MGS2, I guess?
That dog also looks “hot” in all that “thick” fur! ^>^
(I’m sure there’s a pun in there, if only I knew how to do those )
