So do you believe that science is omnipotent? Can the scientific method prove anything to be true?

I get the glass house reference. I don't believe what I say is fact, if that is what you're getting at; nor do I think my telling nfitz to shut up is a form of bullying (though I can see how one could interpret that). I could have said, 'you need to be more sensitive', but I don't think it...

What's wrong with praying? Even if you don't believe in God, isn't it still a nice gesture to pause before one eats and say thank you for the food they have, instead of just scarfing it down and not thinking/caring of how that food got to your table? We take life for granted now because most...

Since many of you on this forum are gay, consider this: This isn't a judgement of who you are, but it is pertinent to you. How does homosexuality fit in with evolution/natural selection? The #1 relentless rule in nature is reproduction. Homosexuality isn't life affirming in that gay people...

Science is largely based on unprovable assumptions. Let's look at this objectively. Why does the existence of God require proof? Don't you think it is arrogant to think that we mere mortals can prove the existence of an all mighty being that perhaps created the universe? It's absurd to think...

Why are you such a bully? You think you can spout whatever nonsense you want and not face any ramifications? Things aren't what you say they are just because you believe them. I don't defend racism. And it is incredibly offensive for you to say that. You need to shut up already. Guess...

Evolution isn't definitive proof of where we came from. Science isn't omnipotent.

Steeles is the northern boundary of the City of Toronto. I'm guessing you're referring to the GTA?

That's not true. I can drive to Steeles, in good traffic, in less than 10 minutes. I live in a pretty central location.

Don't lump all Christians together. That's just as ignorant as Christians that generalize gay people. Was C.S. Lewis a moron? He was a Christian. So was Charles Darwin. Pretty clever guys, no? You and Freshcutgrass seem to think that Christians are like Westboro Baptist Church types...

Yes, it is natural for one's views to shift, however, you went from calling Tory a bigot, to calling him ignorant, to calling him a bigot again. You only changed your words when I challenged you. Had I not, Tory would have been a bigot all along, in your eyes. Not true. You've accused John...

Regardless, it was still an interesting building (and a local landmark) and it was allowed to rot for several years. I still remember when it was sparkling white. It's looked pretty filthy for quite some time, but it would have been nice to have seen it restored.

The Demolition of Inn on the Park I just noticed that 333609543, over at Skyscraperpage posted that the remaining tower of the former Inn on the Park is currently being demolished. Way to go Toronto. Another modern classic about to bite the dust. "As of Aug. 2014 Pro Green Demolition has...

That's not bad. Up until recently, CTV used a skyline shot that was at least a decade old. It's difficult to keep up to date since the skyline is changing on a monthly basis.

My avatar isn't me. It's the prettiest gal in the world, Mary Stuart Masterson, a la Some Kind of Wonderful (1987).

Hey, I have a great respect for Nuno Bettencourt. I was just being facetious with that example. And to be clear, I said 'one' could find qualities about Hitler (the ones I mentioned) that they liked. I didn't say 'I' liked them. I was speaking in general terms, not from personal conviction.

I've never resisted the urge to go full on, blistering ad hominem with anyone more than when I talk with you. I think most here would agree with me (silently) that you're one of, if not the most, discombobulating people we've ever encountered. I've tried to be patient with you but you have the...

Fine. I strongly disagree. I'll eat my words if he wins.

Where did you get those numbers from? And views aren't necessarily extreme (based on the negative connotation nfitz attaches to the word) just because they aren't popular. The validity of a certain belief isn't based on whether it is fashionable. People can reasonably disagree on the creation...

It's realistic thinking, whether you like it or not. Do you seriously believe Goldkind has a chance? The majority of the city hasn't even heard of him. He has got no hope of winning. I wish I were wrong.
