How could you use the scientific method to observe something that sets the bar for all that is observable? Do you understand what I am asking? You are suggesting it is possible to use a set of axioms, observations and tests to decipher a superset of all of these, which in my opinion is...

The distinction here between having blind faith that "your dick is god" and faith in a "god" is that my observations through life have led me to believe that there is such a balance to this universe, that it is almost impossible for us to assume it has come about by chance. Furthermore, it is...

I disagree. Science is not only about learning, but assuming that the fundamental root of knowledge comes only from a hypothesis that can be tested and confirmed by other scientists. These laws are then generally reduced to their most simplistic mathematical representations. There is not a...

Just out of curiousity, how do you see god hiding when you perform tests? Is it not a logical possibility that God put in place all the physical laws of the universe, which allowed for us to be having this conversation in the first place? Why does God have to prove his existance for you...

Well, since you rode up onto the scene on your high horse with illusions of grandeur, I thought I would just do my routine civic duty of exposing you for the little man you are. I take back my original assessment of you. You aren't suffering from depression -- you are suffering from...

The EliteTrader MUD: Welcome to the land of trading, riches and fortunes. It is time for you to select your character. You have 50 points to distribute between the following abilities: Intelligence -- The ability to write and think. This attribute is often filled with leftover points...

Is that what you tell all your boyfriends?

Looks like he's going to be an 133t haXor.

Oh, and for what it is worth, CERN is finishing up the largest accelerator ever made, and when it goes online it will have enough energy to produce miniature black holes. The CERN scientists believe this will help us better understand the multi-dimensional theories involved in string theory...

So now it is the hole that is doing the ripping? Sweet!

Maybe some good can come from this pointless thread. Rearden, Which one do you find the best? My coworker took Paxil, which I believe also helps anxiety. I'm not sure if all SSRI's work for anxiety, but it is definately something I'd try -- and perhaps aderall.

Here is an even better idea. Why don't you just say what you mean the first time.

Yes, I realize that I am merely a well-reared capitalistic gear piece for a much larger machine and that I have no individualism, but my post to you was just out of friendly concern since I and a close friend dealt with depression at times in our life. For you to immediately come back and...

It sounds like you might be suffering from depression. I'd suggest seeing a doctor and try to get on something like Paxil for awhile. There isn't anything wrong with how you are feeling in the sense that many people eventually go through periods of depression. However, there are a lot of...

Sex is mainly psychological. If you have sex with a chick who gives it up on the first night, then usually it is regular sex at best. Now, working on a girl for some time period and having to work at the challenge brings more "taste" to the "fruit" you pick at the end. You remind me a...

Yes, and when you get laid by a hot chick after working on it for 3 weeks after you resign yourself to not getting laid with her, it all works itself out into a vast landscape of amazingness. Now this is true accomplishment.

More importantly, non-existance cannot exist.

Unfortunately, many people believe it is the only one.

What I've learned in life is that you can use all the most colorful descriptors imaginable -- the most flowing and beautiful words, the deepest emotions (basically what it means do me a complex, thinking machine) and most atheists won't see past the "logic 1's and 0's" mentality they have on the...

I couldn't agree more. Since you can't test god, that topic is best suited for another class other than science. However, I would go one step further and take the entire "philosophical" area of science out of the science classroom and put it into a philosophy or social sciences class. A...
