  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Where did you get this idea? This doesn't sound anything like what was previously discussed in this thread.

    I have not read that book, so I can't really comment on that, but if I did see any similarities, what would you think was the significance of that?

    Dear James Redford, You play this out like it's a game. And because your argument is mathematical we're not even supposed to be allowed to argue against it. That's pathetic. I'll come back to my initial point. In physics, nothing is ever proven. Every working theory is only provisional. If a...

    General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics aren't compatible. So if you assume they are both 'correct' then your argument is invalid. You're taking these theories well outside the scope where they're applicable. This is beyond unscientific. It's nonsensical.

    Which is evolved: before or after believing in evolution?

    Do you have a source for that? It isn't clear to me what you're referring or objecting to. I've never heard a biologist make such claims, and I don't see how a change could be considered 'radical' objectively.

    Which is evolved: before or after believing in evolution?

    Not sure what you meant I looked up boast in my dictionary, and found: boast 1 |bōst| verb 1 [ reporting verb ] talk with excessive pride and self-satisfaction about one's achievements, possessions, or abilities: [ with direct speech ] : Ted used to boast, “I manage ten people” | [...

    Which is evolved: before or after believing in evolution?

    In a way, evolution does apply to itself. There are different things that we call evolution. Two important ones are: 1) The process of evolution, meaning that gene frequencies in populations change over time. 2) The theory of evolution, meaning the scientific theory that describes the process of...

    You say the facts continue to point toward an intelligent creator. I'm curious what facts you mean. Can you give me one example of a verified claim provided by the intelligent design hypothesis?

    Your show is called "the burden of proof". If you cannot possibly be persuaded by any argument I don't understand why it even matters who has the burden of proof.

    This depends on what you are willing to accept as a cause. In a lot of philosophical arguments the word 'cause' is used in a deterministic way. Situation A is said to inevitably lead to situation B, and therefore it is said to be the cause of it. In this sense, there isn't really a cause f the...

    That isn't true. At some point the stack will be so high that it will become inherently unstable. The thermal energy will cause it to collapse. And because quantum mechanics plays a role in the behavior of the individual atoms in the stack, it's impossible to predict the time of collapse. At...

    It most definitely does not. Physics isn't about WHY things happen. It's about HOW things happen. If I have an atom of a radioactive element, there is a chance that it decays during a certain time, and a chance that it doesn't. If I find that the atom did decay, physics doesn't say that there...

    Testing QM and GR separately isn't the same as testing OP. If you want to test OP you have to predict what happens where QM and GR meet, and test that. These predictions have to be predictions that cannot be made by QM or GR. Only if you do that, you are testing OP. If you don't do that, you're...

    I never claimed that QM an GR were incompatible. I only said that there was an apparent incompatibility. I realize that there are mathematical solutions to this problem. But so long as these solutions remain untested, it's nonsense to call them factual.

    No. I'm saying that the available evidence does not imply that the resolutions to the apparent incompatibility of the theories provided by Tipler are correct.
