New game show on 11:30pm-midnight every Monday, starting from yesterday. I'm not too familiar with these types of shows, but this one seemed original, and funny at times. Anyone else here catch it yesterday?

Of course, you do now agree and/or understand that the belief in god, which is (often) the result of a prior benefit in life, cannot possibly actually lead to any other further "benefits" in life-as it (the belief in god) is essentially a result, not a cause/catalyst for anything?

The "Why do you believe in god" question is perfectly reasonable, as it's asking for the cause (the "why" or "how") of the effect (belief in god). But the "I'm merely asking the benfits gained in this life" question assumes the possibility that the "belief in god" has CAUSED/is the cause of...

There always seems to be some sort of confusion when many speak about the "after-effects" of a newly-aquired "belief in god." There are always those that ask (for confirmation/proof) of some sort of "improvement" in life as a result of a newly-aquired "belief in god." But this isn't how it...

Perhaps more information should be given to support the claim, seeing as this is the part that has attracted much of the attention in this thread? Because I can't find that much here: A deficiency in language does not demonstrate ignorance. Being able to locate the exact position of...

The competition on the whole was relatively evenly matched on a consistent game by game basis. I'll go back to my team again to show how lower-ranked sides "matching it with higher-ranked sides" weren't simply a feat monopolised by the Sharks. Let's selectively observe various games between...

It might come down to opinion, but I remember Parra's tries in that game to be well planned/targeted (and executed) at the Hegarty weakness. The point is, that both the Dogs and Roosters had losses to lower ranked teams last year, and anyone can twist that kind of stat (that Team X beat the...

What makes you sure that the results against the Roosters and Dogs weren't a product of a poor effort on their part, rather than an improvement from your team's part? Similarly, what makes you certain that the amount of errors you made against Souths was a result of your poor form, rather than a...

What kind of indications of ancestors are you referring to? Would these indications require a prior acceptance of evolution, or has it been proven that those mutations leading to death today were the the same as the mutations thousands/millions of years ago? Stats regarding the percentage of...

As I said, just because someone has a slight problem with evolution doesn't mean they accept the literal adam and eve/various other conventional creationalist story(ies). It's a popular assumption that someone is either one way or the other. Not always the case.

Xayma- So harmful mutations don't necessarily cause death all the time. Would they have done so most of the time, some of the time, or is it a statistical anomaly? I don't think the article mentioned that sort of stat. Apart from this oversight, I doubt whether this article was intended as a...

Compared with modern-day ODI scoring rates, yes. The point I raised originally, was that, compared to India last year (who were hammered on the overall scorecard), and England the year before, Pakistan made a decent game of it-they were in with some sort of chance for the most part. The contrast...

Hammered as in "lost by a large margin," which wasn't really the case today

What's with this Pakistani team? Visiting teams usually get hammered in the MCG final.

It only starts becoming unreliable/invalid when the cold statistics and "facts" are incorrect. Is that the case here? Look these two terms up in the dictionary(right now): ad hominem, appeal to authority. Either of those terms describe the method you've used there to dismiss this author...
