• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

Then you shouldn't have trouble finding a source. I would really love to read a quantum mechanics based on the Matrix.

It seems that every time I post something, you require sources or teaching? Just what do you know about the belief system you adhere to? What is your speciality?

A more relevant question is maybe what your speciality is? Since you assert all kinds of things about what scientists believe, how quantum mechanics works and so on, we have to assume you are an expert in the field.

So no evols here have any knowledge of quantum physics? is that what you are saying? The very physics which for decades has been opening new discoveries and new ideas. Shame on you.

Herman doesn't speak for all of us -- I, for one, don't assume you're an expert.

Quantam physics is not a belief system, and I ask you to post sources becaus, quite frankly, it sounds like you're making stuff up. I don't claim to have a speciality in anything, but I've never heard of any scientist writing a serious paper on how we're living in the Matrix, and your blithe assertions don't impress.

So yeah. Source?

study and research then you'll see I'm not making stuff up, and at the same time it will give you an education

Yup, about what I thought. 'I don't have to prove my claim, you prove it for me!' The sure sign of the guy who's just making stuff up off the top of his head and doesn't have a shred of evidence to support his claims.

The blind man is putting his faith in your rules and faith that your apparatus is working correctly, and even then he is only detecting photons.

The blind man can confirm for himself if the apparatus is detecting photons.

Please demonstrate to the blind man that the photons are caused by the sun.

Already covered in previous posts. It is no different that demonstrating to a sighted person that the photons striking their retina are coming from the Sun.

No he doesn’t. He’s blind. We can see what he can't.

Knowledge does not require sight. We can't see radiowaves, but that doesn't make them any less real.

The universe is pointing toward a very strong producer of the universe.

Evidence please.

Even still, the blind man doesn’t know where the telescope is pointing.

Why not? The telescope can give feedback on where it is pointing, giving audible coordinates. The blind man can also do checks to make sure the coordinates are accurate by pointing to known sources.

He has to take your word for it by faith.

No, he doesn't.

It has even been in the media.

I follow the evidence, not beliefs.

You're missing the point. You have no evidence other than what other people tell you is evidence. In other words, you still have to believe what they tell you. It all boils down to who you believe has the authority to make factual statements.

Says the person believing what "science" tells him.

You know what is neat about science? It is a very open process. If you don't believe a certain scientists finds you can reproduce his work and see if you get the same results. Since science is based upon reproducible results and lying is very bad for science there is an extreme reaction to anyone that falsifies research.

It is permissible to make mistakes. Mistakes happen. It is not permissible to falsify results. If that is shown to happen it ends the career of the scientist guilty of this act. Scientists don't wait for an afterlife to punish a wrong doer. He is removed very quickly from the profession.

This is totally unlike creationism where creationists are caught all of the time and they only get kudos from their colleagues.

So if you doubt the science of evolution, you can always check it out for yourself. See if you can find any errors or mistakes in the works of various people. You might. I am very sure you will not find any lies.

Once again, you can go check out the evidence for yourself.
