    How do you know how to live?

    Ideally you should focus and put effort on something that interests you, so that effort does not seem forced. If you do not feel satisfied after giving the effort and becoming better at something, then you will feel burnt out. So the better plan is to see what resonates with you and go after...

    Do those who prefer falsehood over truth deserve hell forever?

    No entity is ever beyond redemption and reform and ultimate goodness. Hence eternal hell is never just or good. The main difference between your view and Hinduism,say, is that we consider the true inner nature of all beings as ultimately that of God...incorruptable and unstainable like the Sun...

    Human-caused climate change - what the scientists are actually saying

    You asked why POPs persistent. I gave you the answer. You were unable to accept that the correct answer was provided and went on a tangent to explain how bacteria break POPs down , which I know already and is not the question you asked. Your answer regarding resource ratio theory is partially...

    Human-caused climate change - what the scientists are actually saying

    Because the activation energy associated with their oxidative decomposition is so high that the reaction rate of these POPs (usually phenylic compounds with halogen or other element side chains) at STP without catalysts is negligible. Is this a quiz of some sort? My turn then. How can the...

    Human-caused climate change - what the scientists are actually saying

    I am struggling to figure out how to respond to his reply with a humble mindset and open-minded empathy. I have done ok enough, but I am not one of the leaders in my scientific field or anything (at least not yet). Yet another way this forum is a good place to learn new things...like forbearance.

    Human-caused climate change - what the scientists are actually saying

    Scientific papers are open to the public and you should have no objection in sharing your papers. And publishing scientific papers in academic journals is sort of the ONLY criteria for being a scientist. If you are a scientist, you would know this. If you are in engineering, working in pvt labs...

    Good questions even if the answers are wrong?

    I think the how questions you ask are constructive, but the answers will vary in accordance with where you are and your life situation. Very generically, I think the best answer will be " To try to be an asset and not a liability to your friends, family, neighbors and society at large." Now one...

    Human Caused Climate Change - What the Scientific Consensus Truly Is

    This thread will establish what is it that the majority of scientists truly think about climate change as recently some disinformation is floating on this topic in the forum. I will provide several studies to demonstrate that an overwhelming majority of the scientists believe both in the reality...

    The Irony of Creationist belief

    In your opinion what would be the best rendering to use here. I do not know ancient Hebrew, and even people who know modern Hebrew may not know how the words were used thousands of years ago. It seems it is better to rely on people who have degress in ancient language for the translation of...

    The 850 crore black money fuelling BJP's politics in India

    The seizure of money by the EC is an election stunt. I have read in Times article that 95%, of all this so called seized black money is eventually returned to the original owners as they are found to be legitimate cash movements. I can't find the exact article but here is the Print article...

    The Irony of Creationist belief

    What prevents me is simple. I believe what the most authoritative Biblical scholars say on the matter. And according to them the translation " according to their kinds" is not part of the text. NRSVUE is widely considered the best scholarly translation of the Bible. So, sorry, I have no...

    The Irony of Creationist belief

    Perhaps you did not understand the Genesis 1 passage. Genesis 1 says:- Earth brought forth cretaures of all kinds in according to God's will. (see the translation of NRSVUE above) Evolutionary Biology says:- Evolution through natural selection (nature is earth only) gives rise to (ie brings...

    Relevant recent research in the science of evolution

    Such a spectacular verification of the endosymbiosis theory! Getting to see one happen in real life. This one should get a Nobel prize like the detection of gravitational waves.
