About me - Ryan Thomas

I am a college student currently majoring in biology, with a minor in philosophy. Writing has been an interest of mine ever since I started debating science and philosophy in online forums since some skill with words is needed to get arguments across clearly.

Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Can different sacred texts be inspired by God?: 1 of 5

Modern American society likes the path of least resistance. We have cars that take us anywhere we want to go with the turn of a key. We have microwaves that allow us to cook whole meals with the push of a button. We even have those handy credit cards that, thank God, save us from the arduous task of counting out cash for eve...
Sciences > Biology (Other) Is the human race evolving or devolving?: 11 of 33

Speaking strictly in the context of evolutionary biology, humans appear to be devolving. From hereditary heart defects to cystic fibrosis, the human genome is being shot through with mutation after mutation, almost all of which are degenerative. In nature, individuals with these mutations would eventually be weeded out by th...
Sciences > Anthropology (Other) Flaws in the evolution theory: 8 of 24

Over the past decade, evolutionists have touted the existence of alleged "junk" DNA as near indisputable evidence for evolution. Junk DNA is exactly what the name would imply: DNA sequences that appear to be extraneous, and therefore serve no purpose in the cell. It can consist of repeated DNA sequences, failed retroviral in...
Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Faith and reason: Search for truth: 26 of 77

In the words of renowned atheist Richard Dawkins, "Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence." To the atheist community, the word "faith" embodies the epitome of human ignorance, and the way Dawkins...

The existence of God has been the single most debated subject in the history of Man's intellectual endeavor to understand the world around him.

Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Choosing the handgun for self defense: 10 of 12

In a society where the issue of self-defense has been put on the backburner, we have found ourselves in something of a tough spot. With the attitude of "let the police protect us" proliferating in pop-culture and media, criminals feel more comfortable than ever. After all, 3 out of 5 convicted felons admit they're more afrai...
Creative Writing > Songs Songs: What I know: 49 of 54

Verse 1: We got our heads all stuck in the clouds, And our minds fogged up with doubt, We look at the world through our microscopes, And think we've got it figured out, Verse 2: We don't believe past what we can see, And we think reality, Is just the sum of our experience, But I know there's got to be, Chorus: Something more...
Creative Writing > Songs Songs: Sunshine: 41 of 44

Verse 1: I was sitting in my bedroom, In the dark, in the gloom, The clock just ticked away, As I waited for another day, Verse 2: The room was damp and grey, Just like the cold falling rain, I tried to look through the clouds, But couldn't see through my doubt, Pre-chorus: But then I realized, That even though the sunshine,...
