Maybe we need a special section just for PR stuff.Anyhow the recent hubbub he's offended Christians, feminists, and probably others (all except evolutionary biologists). Apparently a caller told him she was having difficulty forgiving her husband's adultery. His response: the “secret” was to “stop talking about the cheating. He cheated on you. Well, he’s a man. OK.” The story hit the news with headlines like "Is cheating in a man's DNA?"Obviously, cheating is a sensitive issue in humans (most…See More
jay H replied to Dr. Allan H. Clark's discussion Unforessen consequence of Obamacare"Why is this a surprise.
It's about time that government stop wasting on unnecessary expenses at a level that wouldn't stand up to scrutiny in the real world. I remember a dinner discussion among some friends talking about the amazingly…"
jay H replied to Dr. Allan H. Clark's discussion Unforessen consequence of Obamacare"Actually young males are expected to see the highest jump in insurance rates.

(CNN - Kelly Murray)"Evolutionary biologist Jerry Coyne (whyevolutionistrue.com) has a pet peeve with scientists who intentionally 'pull their punches' when it comes to applying their research to religious beliefs. De Waal is one (Neil deGrasse Tyson is…"

jay H replied to Civilly Disobey's discussion Religion vs. Atheism in the Workplace"A couple of years ago I was called on to settle a Bible based minor argument between two Christians (Catholic and Protestant). Apparently they recognized that I knew the Bible better than either of them.
Somewhat off topic but a twist on your…"
jay H replied to Civilly Disobey's discussion Religion vs. Atheism in the Workplace"I worked with a highly competent network engineer who was a devout Muslim. Time out for prayers, trip to Mecca, the whole bit."
jay H replied to Tyler Holmstrom's discussion How do you explain to someone the difference between science and pseudoscience?"It's like defining pornography. There's plainly pseudoscience, and there's plainly science, and there's this huge no-man's land between. That's where it gets tricky (quite a few writers, including Dawkins have discussed…"
jay H replied to Philip Jarrett's discussion Why are there Gays in a Darwinian Universe?"Not one to follow, basically child molestation.
