It is my argument that energy in and of it's self is life.



you genocidal SOB how DARE YOU TURN OFF A LIGHT! Think of the electrons.



I try - but I tend to be a little sociopathic.

I noticed that there was no answer to my string theory question.

Go on then. What does string theory have to do with this magical life energy of yours?



Didn't make any correlation - two seperate questions.

Oh, ok. Just popped into your head, apropos nothing. You were just typing away and suddenly thought, "Hey, I wonder what that english dude on the other end of the internet thinks about string theory?"

Do you consider Fellini to be a Neo-Realist?
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Hey, if someone is into physics all day long, that can happen! Suddenly, there is a light coming from nowhere .... et voilà! A light bulb was invented.

And the String Theory is not easy to explain, believe me!

The origin of our life. Anything else is irrelevant and pure conjecture. Life several billion years ago on a planet in a different galaxy has nothing to do with the origin of life on this planet, that led directly to us.




I see you adding disclamers now to try to validate your point.

Life is life, and if it is a billion light years away and existed a billion years ago, it is/was still life.

We were talking about the origin of life and to say for sure that there is no correlation between life elsewhere and life here. While being sure (I am not but you have said that you were)that there is actually life elsewhere is idiotic in my mind. But it is your freedom and mine to think what we like.

We may never know for sure whether life exists or had existed elsewhere, that is why it is more sensible to be Agnostic.

Atheists and the faithful are too dependent on what is known, while ignoring what isn't.

It's got nothing to do with agnosticism.

The faithful aren't dependent on what is known, they're dependent on what is made up. And you can't depend on the unknown for anything, because you don't know what it is.

What you can't do is make up vague hypotheticals and use them to argue that maybe we don't actually know any of the things we think we know. Because we do. We've tested them. They're right.

You are most certinly wrong about that;


ag·nos·ti·cism
[ag-nos-tuh-siz-uhm]
–noun
1.
the doctrine or belief of an agnostic.
2.
an intellectual doctrine or attitude affirming the uncertainty of all claims to ultimate knowledge.

I do agree that the faithful are dependant on what is made up. At least athiest use more intellectual information for thier standpoint, but thier conclusion still ignores what is not known. What is made up is a conclusion all the same, be it incorrect or not.

I don't depend on the un-known, I respect it, I have no conclusion other than we will likely never know.

What I can conclude is that you don;t know everything, and will never do so.

You conclusions exclude things you do not know, that is ignorant.


My connection is too slow to wait for you tube to load at the moment, so I can't watch you wee clip at the mo.

If you think that you can be 100% certain of the origin of life then you are clearly mistaken or a complete idiot, which is it?

string theory , electromagnet energy behaves like a wave , and has wave like qualities , yet also has photonic qualities , which is a paradox as existence as one excludes coincidental existence as the other. a theory has been proposed that would account for this conflict . string theory , a string can have wave like behavior , and photonic behavior , as of yet it hasn't been explained how they can simultaneously !

I got 13/15. Grew up Christian, became an atheist as an adult..



meh, :S got 15/15 ... and could have answered most of those questions when I was 15.


I got 15/15 and I've been an atheist since I was old enough to think for myself.

proving my point these were 'softball' questions. ;)

Funny, then, that so few Christians in the published survey got them correct.:P

Says more about them than the survey -- it was Sunday School stuff at best.

Seems they read and write write at a higher grade level too:



thats obviously fake - we all know that muslims are as dumb as rocks:P

Just kidding - it would make sense that people who are less educated fill the gaps with other means.
Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.
