My wife is very empathetic and has had a difficult time buying the idea that there could be so much evil and the media is protecting/perpetuating the evil.
Then we got Covid (confirmed positive tests, yes). And we took ivermectin. It helped me get mostly better after only 10 hours of being real sick. Similar experience to Joe Rogan. For her she took it, was getting better, then secretly stopped taking it because she didn’t fully buy what I had told her about it. Then she got worse and worse while I got better. Two days later she said she’d take it again… and within an hour her symptoms went down. This morning (18 hrs later) she seems to be almost over it all.
I showed her that great doc on the history of ivermectin and she’s now finally taken the red pill because she experienced how this drug really does work and if people are suppressing it then… well… evil… and she’s now pissed about it… first major red pill.
Have you read the origin of species? Darwin states his issued with the theory. Particularly the Cambrian peiod where there is an unexplained explosion of fossil that have no pre-cambrian sources. There were possibly up to 100 brand new phyla in that short period that there have been no pre-cursor fossils found. This Cambrian "explosion" is still hotly debated in our archaeological community. There is significant group think that oppose any other theories other than evolution. The simple fact is there are no simple facts. We are missing data. You can believe in it all you want, I'm just saying that your espouse evolution like religious folks espouse religion. A belief does not make it so. I think you have done some research, but I think you dismiss information that does not conform to your beliefs. There are lots of "debunked" archaeological digs that are debunked simply because it does not fit the current accepted theory. This is a an unfortunate reality. I do not claim to know what has happened, and now I do not believe the Earth is 6k years old. The estimate is 4 billion years, but even that is dubious. We dont know. It could be far older or far younger. Even the carbon dating is in question now because of off world deposits skewing the carbon ratio's. To state with certainty any point of view on these ancient topics is, by definition unscientific

Page 9. But just because we can't definitively prove something doesn't mean god did it; that's god of the gaps fallacy.
There is no other scientific theory that opposes evolution. Evolution actually has more evidence supporting it than the scientific theory of gravity.
Supporting evolution is not the same as supporting religion, for reasons I have already explained. Evolution literally has mountains of compelling, falsifiable evidence supporting it, whereas no religion has even a single shred of compelling, falsifiable evidence supporting it.
Correct. Evolution, big bang theory, and so on are not mere beliefs.
Not at all. You haven't presented any compelling information for god, so I've had nothing to dismiss. Your information that we don't know everything about the universe, such as science currently being unable to perfectly explain the Cambrian explosion, I have not dismissed because it's true. It's just that information, or lack there of, does not support god.
Show me a digsite with scientifically proven fossils or whatever that go against the status quo but are dismissed because science doesn't like it, or something.
Not really dubious, it's based on good science. That doesn't mean it can't change if new evidence is presented, that's what science does. As opposed to religion which ignores evidence that proves it wrong while refusing to show any compelling evidence that proves them right (because there are none).
Carbon dating is determined by examining the decay of carbon. After around 50,000 years carbon has decayed too much and can't be used to test. Therefore it's not used for anything older than that like determining the age of the Earth based on rock samples found.

Science doesn't use certainty for any specific thing except for math, because we never know if there might be some new way to more accurately determine the truth. Consequently scientific theories aren't certainty either, but certain concepts can essentially be undeniable like gravity or evolution. HOW we understand them can and almost certainly will change with time. Again, as opposed to religion which typically never changes (unless conquered by another nation who then integrate the religions like what the Romans did I believe).
I'm not trying to prove God exists. That debate has been on going for thousands of years and I have no scientific proof that he does exist. The only evidence I have that satisfies me is that there is and overwhelming probability that the universe was not created out of nothing. Random chance for all these series of events to have occurred is inconceivable to me. The creation of life on this one planet has a system of requirements that expands with every advance in scientific understanding. When you say that there are no scientific disputes about the theory of evolution, I do not agree. I have read many papers and books that call into question the theory because some information does not fit. It is regularly dismissed. Archaeology has a ton of dismissed evidence. A good book to read is "Forbidden Archaeology". This book has a large amounts of surpressed dig information. If you look at the Global Warming scientific concensus today, you have to realize that science is easily corrupted. Censorship is rampant that does not fit the narrative. The same is happening with Covid. The scientific community is showing how group think and suppression is rampant. You have been indoctrinated to believe that science is irrefutable and incorruptible, but the evidence to the contrary is apparent everywhere around us today. Misinformation is rampant, the foundation of science is sound, but it has been corrupted into a false religion. Just as every organized religion has also been corrupted. The debate between science and God has devolved into silliness. They aren't even able to be argued because they aren't even in the same topic or subject. Evolution proposes the origin of the varied organisms on this planet. There are no valid theories to the origin of life, just ideas that are conjectured, but cannot be proved. You will possibly believe that life spontaneously erupted from a pool of proteins and amino acids, or meteors seeded life through the universe, or maybe only on this one planet( which is quite hard to imagine). The origin for all life and even all the matter and energy in the Universe is simply attributed to God. Is there evidence, no. It is a resoundingly unscientific gut feeling that something cannot come from nothing. That whole energy cannot be created or destroyed law kinda backs up that all this had to come from somewhere. Did it come from God? Maybe, its a theory or hypothesis, depending on how much you know about the cosmos and this particular planet. Science has the big bang theory to explain the universe, but no theories of how this happened or why. Just because you dont have any alternate theories doesn't mean that the one you have is correct, but it is better than nothing until something better comes along with additional evidence or understanding. What we do have is religious texts that were supposedly divinely inspired. These provide a moral code of conduct for individuals and societies. It is a guide to conduct. Whether you believe or not, the principles are sound. There are quite a few inconsistencies in the Christian Bible that are impossible to reconcile. The old testament vs the new testament is pretty hard to get around. The new testament is where the good moral conduct is more evident. These principles are fairly common in virtually all the world major religions. Without a fixed moral reference guide, regardless of what you believe is something that i believe is necessary. Otherwise you end up with morality decided by the masses. Thats how we end up with San Francisco.
