I have not read all the posts in this thread - but I disagree with almost everything.
#1. I do not believe that a random event exists. Those that argue random events do so from a frame work of not understanding the parameters of the event.
#2. The Universe is isotropic – both in space and...
As it turns out - after some time away I read a few posts. One of our methods of searching for intelligent life is looking for an intelligent use of energy. From earth we broadcast a very identifiable signature of our intelligence and or intellectual development in broadcasting very...
One problem is that currently science describes nothing in dimensional space and time as something very different than what relligioious are referencing in Ex Nihilo.

I do not believe that the wisdom and knowledge of men is any more except for coming up with silly and false notions in the field of religion than with science. The one advantage of science is in the consistent use of rhetorical logic and broad interpretation of empirical evidence.
I find...
I have not been on this forum for some time but thought I would respond. I am a scientist and engineer currently working in the automation, robotic and artificial intelligence industry though my background and training is as a mathematician and physicist. Scientists are not magical or...
Let me make this simple. Anyone is best known by their closest friends. Why because they have common things that they do with their friends. There is an old Native American saying, You cannot know anyone till you have walked in their shoes for 3 months.
Want to know G-d? Walk his path...
I thought to progress with my thought of happiness and truth. Let me therefore take a very common thought and example of happiness.
Who would not be happy with a strong healthy body? Most of us think if we were strong and healthy (even sexy) that we would most certainly be happy. In order...
We humans are interesting. It is interesting to me how our brain interprets data and gives us impressions. For example color is not real but an illusion created by the brain in response to various wave lengths of light. There have been cases where the brain has been damaged and must relearn or...
There is a concept that if you do not support my cause you are my enemy. I have clearly stated that I support family values and children being created by those willing to love and care for them and that society has an obligation to support and give privilege status for those so engaged...
Who then is responsible for the damages done? And are we to be unconcerned with bringing down all radio and TV communications (including police and emergency) within a hundred miles? BTW The FCC get really upset when laws they oversee are broken even if it is just some unsupervised high school...
I do not doubt that there is a time for everyone to die. Death is not something to fear or overly concern ourselves with. I have been privileged to be with a number of individuals I love when they have died. I happen to believe that there are causes worth dying for.
However, I also believe...
Perhaps your generation was different but in my generation the smarter the students were in high school the more they needed supervision. They are likely to try long range communicating via slot transmission theory using a tesla coil and the school roof. :D

I believe that the birth of a child is just about as miraculous as it gets. I also believe that understanding a thing has nothing to do with whether or not it is a miracle.

Just a couple of things – the concept of dark matter and dark energy were not made up just for fun it is in an effort to explain things that are being observed. Mainly that a super cluster is being pulled in the wrong direction for an expanding universe. The first term used was “The...
Reason is the ability to understand (calculate) what will occur based on what is input. Mathematic is the best example of reason I have encountered.
In essence religion is a form of reason which is a faith in what will occur. However, there are many examples of false religions based on...
The first step into religion is discipline. In order for society to exist there must be discipline thus something resembling religion. In essence law is an outgrowth of religion or notions of religion where the morals and religious notions of some are forced upon all.
There is no such thing...
