Dr. Becky is one of my favourite science communicators. I rarely miss any of her videos.
Yes, it would. The cosmological constant (which probably isn't constant) gives us an estimate of the size of the universe at any given time.
The yellow line is for a closed universe, positive curvature...
We'd have to have a debate about epistemology first to decide what counts as evidence, especially what counts as scientific evidence. Jurisprudence uses a different definition that is much weaker, testimony counts as evidence in court, not in science.
Most atheists don't. They say that the lack...
And you believe him? The troops were marching towards Kyiv.
He was under the delusional impression that the Ukrainian people would welcome him with open arms, like the people in Crimea did.
You can't.
You don't address the problem when you confront a YEC with scientific evidence against the flood. The problem is not that they lack education in geology, biology, astronomy or physics, the problem is that they lack education in science as an idea and in epistemology, often also logic...
Yep. Although I see the pragmatic necessity. "You can't do that" should be reserved for being a married bachelor, dividing by zero and breaking laws of nature. "You can't do that, yet" or "you can't do it that way" are better answers, but then you'd have to show how it is done.
... and think it means something?
People who construct quantum computers are happy if they can keep entanglement until their computation is done (at close to 0 Kelvin), and you think there is "entangled" "quantum information" in the environment of a deceased person?
It increased my interest in science and technology. Others weren't phased by it, at least not in that way. But I think it affected us all for a long time. The outlook on life was mostly positive for all of us.
Control. People who can't help themselves are dependent. When I can convince them...
"Truth is the first casualty in war." - Ethel Annakin (probably)
I wouldn't believe anything propagated by either side, neither the first reports nor the debunking.
If it isn't agreed upon by both sides or reported by an independent source, it is most likely propaganda.
You forget the nature of the medium. A conversation at a party is momentary and only a few people can partake if you're not all using megaphones. Your posts stay and can be read by hundreds of people. That is not a party conversation, it is more like an article in a newspaper (where other...
Cosmologists tell us that the universe is most probably "flat", i.e. there is no universal curvature.
I have problems to wrap my brain around that.
1. If space was curled up into a singularity at the Big Bang, when did it expand to infinity? Is there even a mathematical possibility to go from...
I attribute it, at least in part, to the frenzy people have whipped themselves into. The "I am right, and you are wrong" mentality transfers from the subject of the debate to tangential matters. @IndigoChild5559 wouldn't admit to being wrong in any case, even it was just a typo, in conversation...
