Re: Modern Physics: “ I DON’T know what I don’t know.”
Modern Physics: “ I DON’T know what I don’t know.” Your thesis is faulty and the attempt to discredit 'physics' fails. No banana for you! 'Science' doesn't 'know' anything. 'Science' isn't a person; people (some people) believe that they 'know'. Scientists engage in the critical examination of what...

Welcome.
You must have heard about the three statisticians who go hunting- one shoots high, the other shoots low, and the third yells "we got it!"

Re: A Case for Dualism - New? Or Not?
nameless On Occam's Razor, if my life is empty it adheres to OR, if the region I live in adheres to OR it must be empty, and so on with the whole world and the universe! What is the principle of OR in evolution? That there should only be a few species! Occam's razor merely restricts fruitless compl...

Re: A Case for Dualism - New? Or Not?
"Dualism" is a discredited and obsolete philosophy. More so every day. There is no difference inherent between what is perceived, whether 'thoughts' or 'trees'. 'Differences/distinctions' are perceptions by some (ego) Perspectives (eye of the beholder sort of thing), like colorblindness. W...

Re: A Challenge to Richard Dawkins and the Atheists
Hi nameless - it's probably better, when you're attacking someone's alleged use of ad hominem moves, not to use them yourself. Just saying. What, exactly, are you "just saying" is an ad-hom attack? Whatever.. (I notice that you, neither, are speaking to the issue at hand (Hitler's Xtianit...

Re: A Challenge to Richard Dawkins and the Atheists
And nameless graces another thread with no impact ... the power of ideas without beliefs revealed again. Honestly I don't think you engage in the content of over 1/2 of the threads you post in. It must be a bitch not to like something that i have offered, yet be incapable of logical, rational, scie...

Re: A Challenge to Richard Dawkins and the Atheists
Hitler would disagree with your 'judgement'. He was quite the avowed Xtian. See: Hitler's Christianity Nameless, I probably don't have time to read your whole link but if you could point which church did Hitler attend? Which denomination was he? Which command of Jesus was he following? on the site ...

Re: Where is hidden Vacuum?
Is this not the problem that socratus is raising? That this 'vacuum'(what a word?) is undefined so far in Physics? He is building his house on the notion of a 'vacuum'; "The Future of Science When the next revolution rocks physics, chances are it will be about nothing—the vacuum , that endless...

Re: What is the Source of the Universe ?
I have challenged your assumptions and, as yet, you have not successfully answered the challenge (re: the non existing 'vacuum'), yet you forge ahead in new threads with the same old 'questionable' (refuted?) premises in support of the same old 'questionable' hypotheses. Is your 'theory' bringing in...

Re: Where is hidden Vacuum?

Re: Where is hidden Vacuum?
