I do believe our current understanding is that quantum particles are in a constant state of flux.... you'll need to read Lawrence's book for more information. I suppose your next question is "where did the quantum particles come from?". At this time, we don;t know, maybe tomorrow we will? 100...
I was walking on a beach on day, looked down and I saw a watch.... but I didn't know it because there was no discernible difference between the watch and all of the other naturally occurring, and obviously designed environment in which I saw the watch...
Ok ok... I apologize. I normally don't...
Singularity has nothing to do with it...
Read Laurence Krauss' book "A Universe from Nothing"... Basically here's the jist... in a very dumbed down view
1. The concept of "nothing"... truly, absolutely, nothing... not even subatomic particles or the fabric of space... this kind of "nothing"...
I've heard of this... but never actually encountered the situation myself until now... Granted, this was a discussion on YouTube comments... and I am guessing the individual has simply never actually read the bible... Anyway, here's the transcript of the discussion at hand...
You Tube...
True, we can only see 14.75 billion light years away... we actually have no idea how large the universe really is... AND from our observations, SPACE ITSELF is expanding... so fast in-fact that some things in the universe are moving apart from each other faster than the speed of light... Per...
I recently watched a debate on Youtube:
The Origin of Life: Evolution vs. Design [Full Debate]
I have always heard the claim that there is "evidence against evolution", but never actually heard it presented in any carefully presented argument or debate. Well, Fuz Rana does just that in...
Don't complicate this...
We all know that when a believer says the words "find god"... the implied idea behind "finding god" means to "believe" in god.
Why does it always come to word games??
Only in relation to their beliefs... and whether or not they take certain actions based on those beliefs which impact society in a negative manner...
And for the record... I think that during the years I spent as a believer, I wasted a significant amount of time and emotion which could have...
So, just for clarification... do you believe in god?
And if so, does that mean that you are convinced that the reason you believe in god is because you convinced yourself that god exists?
I'm curious to know what people think.
I have heard the claim from theists time and time again that "you will find god, if only you look for him"... I was a theist, raised in a Christian family and once I began to think for myself, the things that I always just accepted from authority were...
You obviously have more time on your hand than I do, so I will address what I choose...
That's not how your post sounded... I was pointing out that the focus of the book was not to show Jesus didn't exist..
They can address specific claims in the book, but not effectively. And I have seen...
Agreed, I adjusted my post... and have submitted a request to have the main title changed... I did not intend to group ALL creationists together... just the "teachers" and "scientists" who manipulate information in the manner I showed in my original post. I propose that the remaining...
That was not Richard's goal with that book. If you didn't read it, but only watched a ridiculous video trying to undermine it, I suggest you don't comment on it any further since you don't know what you're talking about.
That's not how debates are structured. A "debate" with an entire book...
Agreed, however, In the example I have given... and the multitude of other examples which display similar tactics... There is clearly an intent to falsify the information, thsu proving that this particular creationist was deliberately dishonest.
Yes, there are occasions when scientists...
Not exactly... While a language professor will have some knowledge about the history of the cultures from the language(s) his is proficient in...
Saying that his knowledge on history is equal to an actual historian of the same culture is like saying an archeologist, or a geologist is equal...
I'm sure I'm not the first to point out something like this, but the more we do this, the more it is seen by those "would be" sheep, and maybe some of those people can realize they are being manipulated and will go out and see the information for themselves.
Here is my recent experience in some...
Then all usable data acquired through reason becomes subject to change without reason, and thus, just as useless as faith in process determination and examination.
You are assuming that infinity is impossible that is currently an unknown. The First-Cause thought experiment, just as all...
