I like Answers in Genesis' article on trees and the flood.
They basically mumble that some species of trees can survive being submerged and then change the subject hoping nobody will notice how retarded it is to apply that to all plants.

Is he the most overrated founding father?
He wasnt a visionary philosopher, he wasnt a shrewd politican. All he had was his military career, but he was a shitty general, plus he was an ambitious aristocrat and just wanted to further his own career above all else.
And he was a shitty president who had no fucking idea what he was doing and managed to spark a second rebellion AND a war with Americas new buddy the French. Although both of those were very small scale

Why did the elite of non-European countries fear modernization so much? Was technology really that much of a threat to their authority? It's not like guns and tactics are intertwined with Western philosophy.
>>
>>1403626
The Conservatives feared the foreign aspect of modernization, not the technology itself.
Also its a Mao Period meme to say that teh Qingz did not try to modernize. They did but the politics of Tianxia turned against them after a famine, mismanagement of weak emperors, losses to foreigners, and a huge rebellion. So a lot of people were trying to remove Qing as opposed to trying to maintain it.
Let's throw in Chinese nationalism to the mix for fun.

Why people in the World War I doesn't just walk around and attack from the side of the tranches? Surely even a poor attack would be better that a standard stalemate of straight attack or defense.

Girls don't typically wash the inside of their pussies, as that's bad for multiple reasons (douches included), and a mild scrubbing on the outside with water/a rag is enough to make a pussy edible.

It's more complicated then that
>>
Somewhat.
If France had managed to create a plausible administration for Indochina that wasn't communist, the Vietnam War wouldn't have happened.
As it stood, they held onto the dream of keeping Indochina until they eventually got blown the fuck out and then left and pretended it didn't happen.
It's the typical mix of arrogance and incompetence you see in 20th century French history.

France didnt matter at all.

Many people on this board seem to be of the kind that wish for Islam to just die off and cease to exist in the world. However, I think that in order for this to even come close to happening, the world also needs to rid itself of Christianity and other religions.
One simply cannot look at the faults of Islam - from the fraudulent Koran to its history of violence - and denounce it while at the same time ignoring both the fraudulent nature of the Christian Bible and Christianity's history of violence and abuse.
In other words, if one wants to get rid of a religion, one needs to get rid of all the religions. Subject yourself to the same scrutiny and criticism that you subject on the other religion. Christians are often fond of calling out Islam over the 'Satanic verses' and other interpolations that show the Koran to be anything but divinely-inspired, but go completely ballistic upon hearing of the pseudepigraphical nature of the books in the NT and the interpolations/anachronisms in the Bible that show it to also be anything but divinely-inspired.
You can't have your cake and eat it.

How come no Roman historian ever wrote anything about Jesus when he was alive? Is Christianity a Jewish cult of Paul of Tarsus? Why nobody doesn't give a shit about Gospel of Thomas and The Gospel Of Barnabas? As a deist, I got questions.

he just had a small cult in the beginning and if I recall correctly some roman historian did mention a cult leader from isreal but not by name or something

Why would roman historians write about some shithead cult leader? The place was filled with them. Also they did write his execution order down as far as im aware.

Isn't obvious? the historical Jesus was not actually an incarnated deity, he was a jewish religious/political dissident who got executed by the authorities for stirring shit up in an already unstable province.

Kek. Confirmed for never having met an Iranian.
They're easily as racist as Indians and Chinese, perhaps almost as much as Turks even.

Well unfortunately you aren't wrong. Every philosophy hinges on at least one irrational assumption to base the rest of the it off of.

is totally wrong
The fact is, in the Old World, among dense, settled populations, ethnic replacement just doesn't happen. The Greeks, the Egyptians, the Persians, the British, they're all the same people who they were in ancient times, obviously with some admixture at the points of most contact.
