Step back and breath. I was just pointing out that the level of this person's usage of facebook is apt for the subreddit /r/oldpeoplefacebook. This is a common practice on reddit, pointing out a comment or post and saying that it would fit into another subreddit.

Yep, breakups happen. They suck. I had a girl who I dated for 4 years and was living with break up with me. Often times you can use this as a time of introspection to ask yourself questions and be objective with the answer. Asking things like:

Why did this person break up with you?

I can only speculate, but I'll cover some of the most common reasons.

Was it because you, or they, need to grow more as a person?

Your post history says that You're a freshman, I'm going to assume in High School and not college. Regardless, your experience is real and I don't want to dismiss that. You've both got growing to do, I know High School (and even College) seem like they are the whole world. Being obsessed with popularity and the social games that are played.

It's often said that "the best revenge is a life well lived." Grieve for the loss of the relationship, that's normal, but the best way to move on is to show this person (and everyone else) that you've improved on yourself for yourself.

Were they no longer attracted to you?

You shouldn't change who you are to fit into the mold other people want. You should strive to be the best person you can be. If you do that and you remain strong and confident, then people will be attracted to you. When this happens and you find someone who is at their best, you will make great partners to each other. Focus on improving and growing yourself, when you do that people will recognize it.

Did they find some base reasoning that the relationship could not work?

You said that this breakup came after a discussion on evolution. This can be an aspect of a person's core beliefs. If they are religious evolution often goes against their beliefs and make them feel like you not believing the same as them.

If you want to seek a deeper understanding of the evolution v. religion topic I would suggest this video. I would also suggest Bill Nye's follow up book Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation. This should give you more information on what science knows and be able to appeal to a source or existing arguments.

I would also check out the /r/CrashCourseYT series Philosophy. This will help you build logical arguments, so that way you can say what you believe, why you believe it, and why they should agree with you. In addition to keeping an open mind in case they also have information that might benefit you.

Was it because of your actions towards them or others?

Being verbally or emotionally abusive. You can assess your actions by reading this article. People can use your behavior towards them or others to identify if you're a good match for them. Generally showing kindness, even when someone is wrong, is key. If you're nice to others, then this can appeal to a possible mate. If you are cruel to others, then this signals people you might be interested in that you could, eventually, be cruel to them.

I wish you the best and hope that some of what I have written will encourage you to become the best person you can be.

>So it doesn't sound like I'm setting up an anonymous strawman, basically.

To be fair, anyone who doesn't consider the Garden of Eden as a literal event can be considered a skeptic. So that means there's plenty of Chrisitian denominations with their own prominent figures that you could write about also.

The only recent "Skeptic vs Literal" debate I can think of is the Bill Nye vs Ken Ham debate. I didn't get to far into it though so I'm not sure how much they touched on the Garden of Eden. I do know that Bill was so frustrated by the debate that he went out and wrote his book Undeniable afterwards. He might have something.

Generally though, it's going to be hard to find an atheist who's not skeptical of the whole Bible and not just a literal interpretation of the Garden of Eden.

If it helps, my realizing that the Bible wasn't inerrant is what helped lead to my deconversion.

EDIT: The book itself doesn't have a chapter that directly addresses the Garden of Eden or problems with the story. I meant he might have criticisms of it on a website or in an interview.

I've said it here before, but Bill Nyes latest book Undeniable is great!

Walk around carrying a copy of the latest Bill Nye book.

Haven't read, but if you want some insight particularly into intelligent design/creationism and their agenda in the schools I would definitely take a look at NOVA's "Judgment Day" (poor quality YT link). Ken Miller was involved in the Dover case and gave a rather informative lecture regarding it. If you're looking at the scientific side of things you might check out Bill Nye's new book, although he muddles it up with some controversial personal views towards the end in my opinion.

I just started reading Bill Nye's book - Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation.
It's quite good so far and Bill Nye's quirky personality comes through in his writing so it's not a dry read.

u/Ayn_Diarrhea_Rand · 2 points r/atheism

I would highly recommend Bill Nye's new book, "Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation." I don't know if you watched Bill Nye growing up but he is extremely smart and relatable.. just an all around great guy.

In this book he explains why what science has to say about our understanding of where we came from is so critically important to our place in the world, and also just why hostile attitudes against these facts are very dangerous. Welcome to our subreddit! Come by often, you are always welcome :)

u/vibrunazo · 2 points r/atheism

Oh the new Bill Nye book that just came out would be absolutely perfect on that case. (the audio book is even better, it's narrated by Bill Nye humself)

> You know there's this book?

This book?

u/devianaut · 1 point r/exchristian

my advice is to buy your mother-in-law one or all of these books:

• jason rosenhouse's among the creationists

• richard dawkin's the greatest show on earth

• jerry a. coyne's why evolution is true

• bill nye's undeniable: evolution and the science of creation

edit: a word.

>"I'm a scientist." Yeah, okay Bill. Okay...

Since you were so kind as to bring up Bill Nye and we are indeed talking about the origins of life, I am going to recommend that everyone read this book which is a debate between Bill Nye and a creationist. I'll just leave this here:

Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation
