Why is there so much creationist shitposting lately?
Do Americans ACTUALLY believe in YEC?

>Over 40 Percent Of Americans Believe In Creationism, Survey Says. 42% of Americans hold the creationist belief that God created humanity as it currently exists a mere 10,000 years ago, according to a Gallup poll from May 2014.

Yes, Americans are fucking retarded.
Was Islamic imperialism of Europe responsible for the West's desire to take over the world?
And if so, whenever I hear "liberal" SJWs say "White people need to apologize and destroy themselves to show they are truly sorry!" how should I argue about how all human civilizations do horrible things, but have to keep their identity, or we are no better.

it's nothing different than any previous empire did so why would it change the europeans' mindset towards conquest? reconquista sure, but that's only related to the Islamic conquest in that it was framed as retaking what they had conquered. the Islamic conquest did not immediately cause forced conversions like the spanish did in Grenada and in South America

Was Roman Imperialism of Mesopotamia responsible for the Arab's desire to take over Europe?
See, that doesn't sound too smart, does it?
People have been invading and conquering years before and years after the muslims.
>>1358569
No, Islam was never seen as a major threat in Western Europe before the Ottomans. More an annoyance than anything.

There's already a gay version of the Iliad.

The Iliad is gay as fuck in itself tough so no need for that

Is this Any good? I don't know much about the crusades
Same. Is it a case of "This one side dindu nuffin" or is it unbiased
>>1358586
Both the Arabs and the Crusaders were both invaders, so its hard to say either dindu nuffin regardless.
>>1358371
It's fairly balanced.

Looking back at prohibition, the mainstream view is that it was a failure imposed by a bunch of church ladies.
But was America headed towards Russian levels of hard liquor consumption before prohibition?
You see all those westerns, pulling off a bottle of whisky was required?
What caused the tremendous decline in 1830?
I seem to recall from a history class long ago that liquor production was tied to grain production. That is, making whisky was something to do with your surplus corn, etc. As transportation became better, there were more markets for that surplus and therefore less consumption. I would imagine that this graph reflects a complex social and economic interaction.
Tell me about WW1?

like 7 people died or something
What the fuck is that map
That map gave me aids.
Is the political climate surrounding Gun Control today similar to what surrounded slavery? Could the US have a second civil war over banning guns?
>>1357927
No
Yes, and it would fucking hilarious since most people in the military are pro-gun and wouldn't fire on their own families (who generally tend to also be pro-gun)
>>1357959
I feel like if it came to that the military would just overthrow the President wanting a gun-ban. Like if it got to the point where Americans starting to rebel, the Military would say enough is enough and depose the leader.

Such is the freedom of Yankeeland.
What do we hope to achieve in the discussion of problem of the other minds? Specifically about the philosophical zombies?
>>1357903
>philosophical zombies?
A non-problem. If it thinks like a human, looks like a human, and can't be distinguished in any way from a human, then it's a human.
>>1357923
What if it is a robot?
>>1357950
Nano is a human in my heart.
>>1357923
For example, if ethics or moral philosophy is a thing to guide us how to live our life based on accepted moral standard, basically how to be a decent person who can avoid crime acts. What do we hope to achieve from this problem of other minds that looks like just purely a brain game?
Does anyone know what this symbol means? Saw it in a dream and have had no results turn up, it could be flipped the other way or the dashes can be reversed the memory is hazy.

Why was Germany so successful in the invasion of Western Europe?
Daladier and Chamberlain were knobs who never took the German threat seriously.
>>1357866
France went full retard with their maginot line and Britain....well, Britain is Britain, don't expect them to fight a land war without a strong ally to do the heavy lifting for them (France had this role in WW1 but failed to be that in WW2)
>they won't go through Belgium this time, trust me
Why are Roman coins so cheap on ebay?
They sell for next to nothing. You can get a legit Roman coin for a few British pounds.
Are they really that easy to find?
How can you be sure that those are real Roman coin?
On ebay you should assume that everything is fake unless proven otherwise.
>>1357764
>Are they really that easy to find?
Yes. A few hours with a metal detector in some places in Britain will get you a dozen or so.
Most won't be very good quality though.
>>1357764
Most are Chinese fakes

Is this channel bullshit or not? I need to know it because i will use some of his videos as source for a project work.
https://www.youtube.com/user/RealCrusadeHistory
https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/30oi83/what_is_the_consensus_on_real_crusades_history/
This may help
>>1357343
Not OP but IIRC that doesn't really say much. He essentially says he's biased but doesn't do anything to actually prove RCH wrong.
>>1357302
I dunno. He has real historians on the show with him and he uses legit historical sources. How valid any of these are? I don't know, really. It would be fun if somone did a point by point debuking of his videos instead of just screaming about islamophobia.
