Examples?!
I had a very good buddy who attended some 'primitive skills' classes and schools. A lot of this involved the ability to just construct things using only mud or wood, the ability to build a primitive bow & arrow set, the ability to cook and live in basically a stone age environment. He also dabbled in just general anceint and non-modern skills, spending some time learning how to work iron and bronze, how to make stone tools, etc.
Needless to say , if there was some very practical task that neither he nor I was familiar with, say, building a fence with modern tools or any number of other things, I imagine that he would be naturally far more adept than I.
There is something to be said about living with your hands and being close to nature -- I would not be surprised to hear that it opens up something special in you.

Originally posted by @apathistI'd assume they might be able to run better backwards, too, yeah.
Moving backwards?
Makes sense.
They're probably also less likely to be 15 kilos overweight, clinically depressed, near sighted & addicted to smut.
These are things that, in a raoundabout way, also contribute better to running or moving backwards at a rapid pace.

[b]atheists like to believe that ...
And why on earth do you think that atheists would all like to believe the same thing?

Jews do better on IQ tests than atheists.
If not ... shut up.

Yeah, I can recognize a chick point of view.

Originally posted by @wolfgang59I have an idea of what atheists generally believe because (a) I used to be one, and (b) because I have been in constant dialogue with them for over 2 decades. And I never said all atheists believe the same thing. Atheists can be simply a plural form of the word atheist. 2 atheists could believe what I said and I would be correct.
How do you know what atheists like to believe?
