You got to know the rules of chess AND play chess to claim chess mate.

Warning! Figurative language! - They do not play chess. Uninventive art degree envious person using figurative language.

There is nothing wrong with using the figurative...

IF ...

And I stress IF...

You also understand the literal...

:p

S,

What do you guys still got?

Lets see...

1. Myth
2. secret neo-liberal conspiracy
3. evolved from the apes by random chance
4. superstition
5. fantasy
6. ?

What was 6 again?

Are these correct and current??? I'm not writing them down...

What don’t you get? Figurative language! No check mate. You have to play chess in order to do a Check mate.

Art degree envy leading to Matt’s art degree conspiracy theory.

And of course you cannot make up your own rules and also be the biased judge of them when playing chess. All which is what you do.

If you spend $500 million on 320 million people, that's $1.56 each. Couple of real math surgeons in that video clip.

Ah I see Matt still hasn't read an elementary level book on evolution. I think he's American so that doesn't surprise me with our subpar schools... No one thinks humans evolved from apes by random chance, that's definitely not how evolution works. Random chance is a part of the picture, but just a part, he's missing the entire context.. A fantastic introduction is Richard Dawkins' "The Greatest Show on Earth." It's worth a looksee. After that, Pinker's work (not his recent work, but his earlier classics) are very edifying.

"an elementary level book on evolution"

Is there any other type?

“Darwin’s Dangerous Idea” is an outstanding book as well.
