Wow, it's like no one even moderates this forum anymore. ;)

You keep pretending we haven't distinguished fact from theory. This is a projection that tells us your brain really does understand its own pretense on some level. "Psychological projection is the act or technique of defending yourself against unpleasant impulses by denying their existence...

At this point it becomes hard to believe that you are actually this intellectually bankrupt. The meaning of theory we give is confirmed by multiple scientific bodies and every scientific textbook from high school to universities. It easier to believe you are simply trolling than that you are...

Fact: A basic statement established by experiment or observation. All facts are true under specific conditions. Some facts may be false when re-tested with better instruments. Law: A logical relationship between two or more things that is based on a variety of facts and proven hypothesis...

Coming soon, The secret cures for blue balls that prison inmates don't want you to know about!

You are not going to be able to make assertions such as this without being called on them. Please provide evidence that scientists are abandoning the big bang theory, and then list the reasons why. When you are finished, I will then point out that you are simply seeking to create a gap in...

My answer is very short: I don't know. The answer you seem to be suggesting is, "I don't know, therefore God." Even scientists? Science does not try to prove existential negatives. I'm afraid you'll need to give examples to demonstrate your assertion that scientists are saying they can't...

I have not watched it yet. I'm sure I will eventually, but right now the hype has turned me off. I think spiritual is a word that means something different to everyone, and indeed no one can seem to offer an objective definition. I think God, especially the one defined by Christianity, is...

Examples? Who are these nameless many you are referring to? It sounds like you have simply come up with a narrative that fits your worldview. You are using "god" in a different context, unless you think scientists see "science" as some holy entity worthy of worship. Since no scientist has...

The observer simply collapses the wave. The observer can be a mindless robot or sensor, no consciousness or life is necessary. If we can remove consciousness as a factor and still get the same results, then consciousness is not part of the mechanism...

The arguments were in the link, the quote was an afterthought. Since you simply reiterated the claim debunked by the article, I'll assume you didn't read it, or perhaps you did, and didn't bother to fashion a response. "It is an absolutely pointless arrangement of words describing a neutral...

"Quantum physics is claimed to support the mystical notion that the mind creates reality. However, an objective reality, with no special role for consciousness, human or cosmic, is consistent with all observations." – Victor J. Stenger, professor of physics and astronomy at the University of...

I can see why someone, Dawkins for example, may not want to personally debate, but I don't understand those who rally against giving any attention at all to these views. If the Ham/Nye debate was less than successful, then we need to examine what went wrong and improve it. I often hear from...

I think it is an arrogant and condescending attitude and I find it as irritating as those who ask "what's the harm" when dealing with alt med. This is a serious problem with scientific academics and it is the reason that the skeptic movement is left to deal with these issues instead of the...

"To know the history of science is to recognize the mortality of any claim to universal truth." – Evelyn Fox Keller

Nevaeh420, you can either confine your mentions of your prophecies and Christ complex to the threads you have started to discuss them, or you can not participate at all in any threads on RIU. The first is within your power, the second is within mine, but the choice is yours. I am tired of...

Yet, here we are in a thread intended to be about a debate and we're talking about you. While your intention may not have been to hijack another thread, your inability to not talk about yourself and to tell when you are taking over the topic results in the same thing. You are taking advantage...

I don't understand why people engage with him so much when he is upfront about being feeble minded. It's like trying to argue morality with Charles Manson. Should it really be surprising, or a source of frustration, that a mentally challenged person does not properly grasp reality, reason or...
