  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

"Mathematical Challenges to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution."

Good grief I don't agree with Sabine Hossenfelder on some occasions but this video gives an insight of the range mathematics in the sciences while also giving a philosophical perspective.

I find her interlocutor rude.

... it’s purity that leads to heaven ...

Negs.

It's the blood of Christ that covers our sins.

Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Yes.

Subject your life to Jesus Christ, before it's too late.
I have been freed from the religion surrounding Jesus. Best thing I've ever done.
In the process, I have now subjected my life to whom Jesus prayed to.

And what did He to Whom Jesus prayed to tell you to do?

Matthew 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

you mean it is written

Indeed it is.

Written and preserved.

Luke 16:27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

I find her interlocutor rude.
I'm neutral on his behavior.

As a comparison he posed the same question to Ed Witten who according to Time Magazine is the greatest living theoretical physicist.
"Albert Einstein labored unsuccessfully for decades to create a theory that would merge relativity and quantum physics into one tidy mathematical package. But where Einstein failed, physicists may finally be on the verge of success, largely thanks to Edward Witten, generally considered the greatest theoretical physicist in the world. "Ed is unique," says John Schwarz, a theorist at Caltech, "the kind of person who comes along once a century."
Witten achieved a feat no other physicist has accomplished winning the Fields Medal which is mathematics' version of the Nobel Prize.


Perhaps he was more restrained compared to Sabine Hossenfelder given the reputation of Witten.

I don't find him rude, just philosophically questioning...

I find that two different questions about the way the universe is are often conflated. The anthropic answer is a perfectly valid response to the question, "Why do we find ourselves in a universe with such regularities?". This is a different question from, "Why is it that our universe has such regularities?", IOW, "How does such a universe come about?"

My word he is not good at this. If only he was this good at testable physical ideas...
