  • If you look at all the traits animals and plants have, there are correlations and patterns unrelated to the environment, consistent only with a pattern of descent with modification.

    For example, all the animals that produce milk also have fur, while all the animals with beaks and hollow bones also have feathers.

    These groups of correlated organisms are found regardless of their environment, so penguins have all the bird traits even though they live in the ocean, seals have all the mammal traits even though they live in the ocean.

    This pattern only has one consistent explanation: life on earth is a result of descent with modification: evolution.














  • All the people saying mandatory voting is bad are misinformed. It is essential for democracy, and should be applied everywhere.

    Australia has mandatory voter turnout, but you do not need to submit a vote. You just need to show up on polling day.

    Everyone has political interests and needs to be politically represented, but some people are too tired after work to take themselves to the polling centre. Others are incarcerated. If anything, those people are more in need of political representatives.

    American conservatives spend billions trying to prevent poor overworked people from reaching polling places or exercising their right to vote. Mandatory voting prevents that.

    Make no mistake, Australian democracy is healtheir than whatever clusterfuck in going on in the US.
