A talking puddle would fit in perfectly with the other stories told in that fairy tale you call a bible. A talking snake, however, now THAT is something I can believe in! :D

A quick thought about your "internet surveys (very reliable, I'm sure) - 60% to 77% then do not believe in god. Last I checked 60% to 77% is a larger number than 33% to 40%. I wonder why most scientists do not believe?

Of course you can't see the new opportunities. They haven't been discovered yet! That's the whole point. Can you see the future? If you could see the new opportunities that yet to be discovered technological advancements will allow, you would be a very, very rich man.

Didn't you hear? G20 nations will HALVE their deficits in just a couple of short years! :D :D

Now you are just embarrassing yourself. You quoted one scientist that claims the universe APPEARS finely tuned, and now you are asking for quotes from scientists who believe the opposite? Get a grip. By the way, it's not my belief system, it's the conclusion I've arrived at after looking at...

Thanks for attempting to participate, but please leave this discussion to the grown-ups.

Your ignorance is astounding. I have read The God Delusion, and understand it quite well. The difference between the way my brain works (scientific) and the way your brain works (creationist) is that I am always searching for new evidence, whereas your theory is definite and complete. I...

And a Christian once molested a little boy, therefore all Christians are child molestors. Your account should be deleted for this nonsense.

You're missing the key point that even though technology renders some occupations obsolete, it creates more opportunities than it obsoletes.

Perhaps you have trouble reading your own posts: "But even in the absence of a strongly satisfying model to match the biological one, the relatively weak models we have at present are, when abetted by the anthropic principle, self-evidently better than the self-defeating God hypothesis of an...

You post quotes from one scientist over and over... You and I both know that for every scientist who says the universe is finely tuned, there are AT LEAST an equal amount who believe the opposite, so stop trying to be misleading.

Why only disaster scenarios? Is it not possible the USA could live with moderate inflation to ease the repayment of debt over many years? Admittedly this does not seem like the most likely option, but I wouldn't disinclude it as a possibility.

Heh in my dreams. :cool:

My inflationary utopia? I don't want inflation either, but it's a hell of a lot better than deflation. By the way, what you're describing in the quoted post is hyper inflation, not inflation. Why you seem to the think hyper-inflation is inevitable is beyond me, especially given the debt...

The G20 does not need to be saved, only certain countries within the G20. If you cannot see how the USA, in massive debt, will certainly default should deflation take hold, then nothing I say anyways will convince you that deflation is the real problem. Given the current state of...

Translation: I have no way of refuting your point, so I'll resort to insulting all ET atheists (anyone who disagrees with me).

Productivity gains are not a bad thing and should not be feared. Sure, some people will lose jobs because of them. But jobs are also created because of productivity gains. It all comes down to cost. If I used to be able to make 1 widget using 3 employees that costed $1.00 and can now make 1...

How dense are you? An invasion of North Korea for $900 million?! Get a grip. When you have the leaders of the top twenty countries all in the same place at the same time, the situation is ripe for a terrorist attack. You're the type of person that would be bitching they didn't spend enough...

I completely agree. I'm all for free speech and peaceful demonstrations, but some of the fuckbags in Toronto last weekend were only there to cause shit. I would have liked to see the cops arrest more of some of these douchebags. They are the reason the city was basically shut down all weekend.

:D Your conspiracy theories never cease to crack me up!
