You did read the section 'Loopholes'...Pepe,<br /><br />You did read the section 'Loopholes' didn't you?<br /><br />It's still an enormous jump to go from Bell's theorem is correct, to all quantum events must be observed to have happened, to there's a consciousness in the Universe, to there's a god, to therefore the Trinity of God, the Son and the Holy Spirit.<br /><br />Actually, all science is incorrect in one way or another. Progress in science relies on developing more accurate theories and getting rid of theories that are just wrong.<br /><br />James Jeans' Steady State Universe was just wrong. If he thought the Universe was a mystery, it was just because he didn't understand it. Charles Darwin's theory of evolution was also incorrect in many aspects and incomplete in many others, but the theory has been developed in the subsequent 150+ years so it's on much better footing than Big Bang Cosmology.bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-30879483683538821922011-11-07T17:20:33.463-05:002011-11-07T17:20:33.463-05:00@bach...

Leaving aside the point that all of Bell...Pepe,<br /><br />Leaving aside the point that all of Bell's theorem hasn't yet been confirmed experimentally, it still doesn't mean that 'consciousness' is necessary in the Universe to 'observe' each and every quantum event, almost all of which are unobserved and happen anyway.<br /><br />Quoting an 80 year old book (did you actually read it?), doesn't prove your view that the Universe was 'thought' into existence. A lot of sentences can be constructed that are grammatically correct but still wrong.<br /><br />Gary,<br /><br />I reject Christianity not because of textual criticism. I reject it because it is impossible.<br /><br />Humans have been around for 200,000 years, inventing tens of thousands of gods. Then several thousand years ago God appears to a small tribe in the Middle East, and a bit later sends his son to atone for Original Sin committed by a mythical pair in a mythical garden by being nailed to a cross. And then a few decades later, the original tribes revolt against Rome and they and their Christian offshoot are dispersed through the empire. And then several centuries later, Constantine decides to play the religion card and imposes Christianity on the empire to promote unity and prevent the collapse of the empire (it eventually failed).<br /><br />Christianity wasn't a runaway success expected by a divinely ordained religion. It spread slowly and was contingent on a lot of unpredictable historical events.<br /><br />I don't hate God. I just don't think he exists, like all the other God's invented by humans.bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-69685027254997268772011-11-07T15:11:08.974-05:002011-11-07T15:11:08.974-05:00bachfiend said...

The early Christians wrote the histories (the gospels) to reflect the winning dogma. Later Christians, when they were transcribing ancient texts to preserve them as copies interposed text to strengthen their 'truth' claims, such as the interposition in Josephus. The story of the martyrs was a latter addition, as Christians scoured old cemeteries looking for names to sacrifice as martyrs after the fact.<br /><br />Christians after they got power were much more likely to slaughter nonbelievers that they were in danger before they gained control.<br /><br />Obviously I can't exclude the possibility that a god created the Universe 13.7 billion years ago and then disappeared forever, because that's exactly how the Universe appears (absence of a existing god).<br /><br />I can exclude a personal god, who appeared physically to a handful of humans several thousand years ago, but whom hasn't been seen since then, takes an intense personal interest in individual humans, listens to prayers, gets very upset when humans misuse their sexual organs in certain ways, and sacrificed himself to himself to atone for Original Sin committed by a pair of mythical characters in the mythical Garden of Eden.<br /><br />Pepe,<br /><br />No, you don't understand quantum mechanics. Events don't have to be observed to happen in the quantum world. They happen all the time. Similarly, the Universe doesn't have to be observed to exist. That's just idiotic.bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-57364755384903613512011-11-06T11:43:38.527-05:002011-11-06T11:43:38.527-05:00RicKK reitereates his usual "doctrines for su...RicKK reitereates his usual "doctrines for suckers" screed.<br /><br /><i>"And if you want to understand why it is a recurring theme throughout history, I recommend: "The Evolution of Cooperation" by Robert Axelrod."</i><br /><br />LOL.

Therefore atheism is a position held purely by blind faith alone. <br /><br />Thats you - the blind faith in nothing guy. <br /><br />Nothing created everything for no reason. <br />Yet you're still clutching at ethereal straws - the product of electrons flowing through your 2 lbs of meat - attempting to make meaning out of this meaningless flow of energy for yourself - still meaningless for everyone else and utterly fruitless in the end.<br /><br />So, your next step is the usual atheist series: <br />denial, <br />evasive action, <br />refuting strawman "gods" of your own imagination,<br />excuses -for your incapacity to produce proof or even just evidence of your inane "no god" faith.<br /><br />Pathetic.Gary H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16324820645215394691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-52550201395471777212011-11-05T19:45:55.472-04:002011-11-05T19:45:55.472-04:00troy makes another inane comment based on his own ...troy makes another inane comment based on his own glaring ignorance and gullibility <br />patheticGary H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16324820645215394691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-39678420912042315082011-11-05T19:33:24.980-04:002011-11-05T19:33:24.980-04:00Pépé "I like an atheist citing and approving ...<b>Pépé</b> <i>"I like an atheist citing and approving the Bible!

Making up a mythical deity to justify meaning in your life is nonsensical, comforting though it may be to you.<br /><br />The second law of thermodynamics states that the Universe is descending along a gradient towards oblivion. Life on a tiny speck in a vast Universe take the energy flowing downwards, and convert it into useful forms, allowing the decline to be reversed.<br /><br />Similarly, life on Earth makes meaning in an essentially uncaring and meaningless Universe. We make our own meaning. A mythical god can't create meaning, because he doesn't exist.bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-82659671815687686062011-11-05T18:17:22.630-04:002011-11-05T18:17:22.630-04:00Where is Dawkins?<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f7ciV8gXe4" rel="nofollow">Where is Dawkins?</a>Pépéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00896283600100217146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-6101482698588693992011-11-05T18:07:24.791-04:002011-11-05T18:07:24.791-04:00If god says green is a more beautiful color than r...If god says green is a more beautiful color than red, does that make green objectively more beautiful than red?<br /><br />Shocked?
