Well, we can stop right there. Neither an engineer, nor anyone else, expects to create anything specific in an "unguided" process. If life arose spontaneously on Earth over 9 billion years it would not have been by an unguided process. The process would of course be constrained, i.e.,guided...

Arguments based on nebulous concepts, such as self-assembly, are doomed to fail. Usually one side is basing their argument on the failure of the other's argument rather than the merits of their own. Then too, any argument where one side or both is based on faith is pointless. To have a...

I followed the link you gave. The arguments are based on false logic. The failure of one proposition does not allow anything at all to be concluded about a related alternative proposition. Example: From a failure to prove god's existence, one can conclude nothing at all about the possibility...

I'm educated and I know the supernatural events in the bible violate the natural laws, which can be tested and shown to be true.

Fortunately most of us do not have to worry about Hell. Hell only exists in the minds of Christians; thus only Christians worry about Hell because they don't know it's not real. In this respect they are like dogs that love Doggy Bacon; dogs don't know it's not real bacon.

This is true of everyone, whether in charge or not, if the trivial definition of "lie" is being used. Most likely it's the trivial definition being here used by the thread initiator, i.e., to write or say something that is false. By this definition we are all habitual liars. Obviously then, the...

She seems not to understand capitalism. These corporations want "gay" dollars, and they want to indicate that they are open to hiring and serving gay folks. One way to get someone to spend their money with you is to say "we are with you." These corporations know that most people are...

The reason for the collapse in value for Zimbabwe's currency seems to be tied to a collapse in farm productivity following the revolution. One consequence was of course printing, but it seems collapse in productivity was the root cause. What is your view?

I guess my sarcasm intended for Rickshaw didn't work on you. Maybe we need a Sarcasm Smiley face as a warning. In my opinion you are certainly correct here: "High inflation in the US doesn’t necessarily mean a weak dollar." However, This: "... [a] that massive increase in the money supply...

I know where you can get a good lawyer to take that guy on your lawn to court. I'm pretty sure Sidney Powell is available.

You had me worried. Thank god it's not within the next 15 minutes. Everything's fine. I'll be dead in ten years.

But who are they? Are "they" the same people that attacked those Dominion Voting Machines with lasers beamed down from Italian Satellites?

Sleepy Joe starts PRINTING^ like Mad! You would think with inflation running so high due to all that printing that the dollar futures would go down, not up! The Dollar should become worthless due to all that printing. ;) Could it be our inflation is caused by something else? Everyone, at least...

There are so many people involved and overseeing elections these days it is virtually impossible to "rig" an election via the mechanics on anything other than a small local scale. That's the one good thing that's come from Trump's blatant attempt to steal the last presidential election. The way...

https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-847508849139 Unfortunately, sources of false and misinformation are rampant -- a downside of the internet I suppose. We each have to learn which sources are typically reliable, and which are not.

I am saying, any downgrade of U.S. Treasuries should have had no other criterion than the risk of inflation, as that is the only risk U.S. Treasuries represent to the holder. However S&P down rated Treasuries, they say, because of Congress's annual threat to not approve the budget -- or in...

False. Maybe you should spend less time watching Fox News. Holder's DOJ did sue Standard and Poors. But it had nothing to do with S&P's downgrading of Treasury Securities. The DOJ sued because of S&P's incompetent grading of 4 trillion of mortgage backed securities and collateralized debt...

Still more support for the original thesis of this thread, viz., the Trump Tariffs , a terrible idea left in place by the Biden Administration, are making a significant contribution to our too high domestic inflation rate. C'mon Joe, what are you waiting for? Lift those tariffs, that would also...
