1: Renaissance: or the dispute about the nature of white light.
2: So are martians. and quite frankly, there is at least as much evidence tying it to the martians. Even the Wikipedia entry shows that Julius Ceasar is most likely to b the culprit, and he died before Christ was born.
3: According to relativity, it kinda is. Under relativity, you choose a reference point to be the stationary center object. This can be the eartn, the sun, the moon, the centre of the milky way, and all of these are equallt valid.
4: So if a serial killer calls himself an athiest, does tat make all athiests bad? Can we please avoid using worse argumentation methods than the fundies? Thankyou.
5: But it does invalidate the word 'unusually' if it is the norm at that place nd time, then it i in no way unusual. Also, to suggest that it is unusual to the aggregate of human history desplays a complete ignorance of human behaviour over the last 5000 years.
6: tens of thousands at the low guesses, and hundreds of thousands at the high guesses. not quite millions. Also most of those were during the bubonic plague period. So abotu as expected as the American reaction to muslims during october 2001
7: Source, citation, and evidence. Please use a scientific approach to this. I would like an analysis on the overall effect of the hoarding of knowledge, in if/how it extended the dark ages, vs how much it accelerated the renaissance
8: Ok he was a liar, pick me a living person who does not lie. otoh granted this one is not a myth. We have one out of 10 so far :) (Gods above and below, the "fundie" is smarter than the commentator, is this a first?)
9: So you know that statement to be a myth, and say that you do not buy into it, good for you. Now given your reaction to #4, you are now required to accept all athiests who believe this as your peers.
10: once again, citation and source. I want reliable historical sources here. Much of history speaks of major conversins through eloquence. SO while some forced are acknowledged (St George for example) I want evidence before accepting that the majority are guilty there.
