Science does not make God obsolete, because there is no intersection between the set of all that is measurable and the set of that which is not. For those who do not believe, God is obsolete regardless of science. For those who believe, God is never obsolete, regardless of science. For those...

There isn't a hill-o-beans difference between Obama and Bush. In the end, anyone who manages to become President is corrupted by the ascent to power. This is the way of the world since time began.

Actually, there was a very recent study released showing that religious practices tend to make people happier and healthier. So, while I don't subscribe to religious practice, it apparently provides a selective advantage for those who do. A supreme irony.

Who cares what Behe or Dawkins' believes. What do you believe and what's your proof. This thread has droned on for more than a year and you haven't budged a smidgen from where you were at the begining. And, in all that time, you have yet to post a single piece of verifiable evidence...

The problem was simply that lenders permitted borrowers to leverage their homes at 100%+ of appraised value. This allowed people to purchase a home without risk. When a person makes a risk-free investment, there's no reason to hold the position when it's under pressure -- so, the person just...

jem: for you people that have no idea what your talking about - here is review that I think touches on the issues http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/print/23676 kjkent1: To be fair, you should include yourself in the above-mentioned group "that has no idea what your [sic] talking about...

Good slide show -- thanks for the link. "Many Worlds" interpretation is still my choice. It simultaneously resolves both the conflict with Einstein's special relativity and explains "randomness" as the product of splitting every probability contained in the wave function into a separate...

More importantly, the anthropic principle that jem continually attempts to use as a means of inferring the existence of intelligent design was never intended for that purpos by its originator: physicist Steven Weinberg. The cosmological constant when calculated using quantum field theory...

The issue is simply: To what extent does the 4th Amendment "reasonable expectation of privacy" reach a public restroom? It's a pretty good legal question, because the location is "public," yet it has a traditional expectation of privacy near to that of a person in their own home. Maybe...

How charming. Remind me again as to which institution iit is in which you're committed?

Many serious scientists are united in their annoyance with the reality of Heisenberg's discovery. Richard Feynman (widely regarded as the most brilliant high energy physicist to have ever lived) would comment to his students to not try to "understand" the uncertaintly principle, and instead...

Total nonsense, Z. You propose that the only way to conduct a scientific experiment to prove up randomness is by violating causality. But, by violating causality, you would return to a point where things would not be the same, because you would be there to observe it. Sorry, but that just...

Regardless of your incoherent comments above, quantum uncertainty scientifically proves randomness occurs. You may choose to believe that there is some cause behind the uncertainty principle, but you cannot prove it. You can only believe it. Whereas I can simply point to the experiment which...

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle demonstrates the existence of randomness as both a mathematical and empirical fact. That you choose to pronounce judgment to the contrary based solely on your unsupported personal opinion, does not change the fact that your pronouncement is false.

Darkness is the absense of light. The man whom you analogize searches for that which does not exists. I am not that man.

Someone like Crick is not "ensnared" into being tagged as a creationist, because he doesn't bring his belief system into the laboratory. The difference is simple: the Discovery Institute wants to teach the controversy that macroevolution occurs by divine will, rather than by random mutation...

Pretty funny that we've gone exactly nowhere in this thread after so long. Creationism is the belief that the universe is the product of a supernatural intelligent designer. Intelligent design is the belief that certain features of the universe are best explained as the product of an...

I thought that "Only God can make a tree." Randall: We made trees and shrubs. We helped make all this. Kevin: Whew! That's not bad. Randall: Yeah. But did we get a thimble full of credit for it? No! All we got was the sack. Just for creating the Pink Bunkadoo. Kevin: Pink Bunkadoo...

I thought the answer was 42. You're way off!

Ultimately, everything is belief-based, because we are entirely subject to our own senses, which are easily fooled. But, if we take the position that everything is subjective, then science grinds to a halt, because then nothing can be measured. God could exist and be entirely responsible...
