It costs a lot to clean up the Republican mess.

Or not pay their fair share of taxes. When Warren Buffet's secretary pays a higher tax rate, something is wrong. <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Cu5B-2LoC4s" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Why does the universe appear fine-tuned? That's a question I wish we could answer in my life-time. I don't see how the multi-verse is a quasi-religious theory at all. It totally agrees, mathematically and in principle, with quantum mechanics. No other explanation even comes close...

It's called "natural selection". Read up on it. ----- Natural selection is the nonrandom process by which biologic traits become more or less common in a population as a function of differential reproduction of their bearers. It is a key mechanism of evolution...

Bush tax cuts.

You ask where the appearance of fine-tuning came from. You've decided the "God did it" argument suffices as an answer. I'm saying a theory supported by mathematics blows such arguments to smithereens, even if both are technically conjecture. So we have a multi-verse theory, supported by...

Riiiiiiight. Ben Stein is just mentioning gaps in our knowledge and of course, "God did it" (Intelligent Design) is his implied conclusion.

Why an all-powerful Creator being needs religious people to convince others of its existence? Yea, that sounds really logical for such an entity... Pretending? Can you ffs get off me personally? Why don't you focus on the "shown its existence" part and explain how such a statement is false...

Actually, it's not implausible as it can be modeled mathematically using quantum mechanics. Can you say the same for a "Creator"? Filling in our gaps of knowledge in regards to the universe with "God did it" is not an explanation at all. We might as well throw in the towel since we have the...

He would care so that those who don't believe would believe. Personal revelation is hardly a trustworthy source.

I'm not worried about its motivations or time frame because it hasn't shown its existence. The stark differences and contradictions among religions is a manifestation of a belief in something that's not there and each culture's characteristic view on a "Creator", absent any scientific...

I wouldn't. I don't find it logical that a "Creator" which desires to be known to the human race would do it through contradictory religions. Some had many gods, others just one, and still others saw nature itself as the deity. Most are extinct. I think the reason they can't agree is because...

He's right. Unfortunately, a lot of his other ideas are just plain coo coo. I'd like to see someone like Ron Paul, but moderate to a point where they don't want to dismantle international agreements and bring the government back to the days of the Articles of Confederation, and untenable gold...

Richard Dawkins said it best. "We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further."

Yes it's both parties faults, but all I see in this thread is nothing but "Liberal lie" and Obama bashing. Just reminding folks of Republican hypocrisy. They have been nothing but "small government" liars. They are just as big government as the Democrats.

How is this Obama's fault? Congress is the one who passes budgets. And most of the debt was incurred by big business loving Republican rule. From 2000 to 2006, the Republicans had the White House and both houses of Congress. What happened to the Clinton surplus during that time?

It doesn't make any sense that a "Creator" deity would leave it to followers of various religions which contradict each other to convince the human race of its existence.

I have Options as a Strategic Investment. The bible of option trading ;) Good pick. I'll check out that other book you mentioned. Thanks!

James Cordier says in his writings that so far OTM options with extremely low deltas require a large move on the market for the option price to move much. I'd like to ask these guys about the things you guys brought up. We test new strategies with the most minimal capital (1 contract orders)...
