I certainly don't. I'm not the one posting his pet ideas into virtually every thread in these forums.Pffft. If a Nobel Prize, and Alfven's credibility meant nothing to the mainstream, who cares about the credibility of some random programmer from Mt. Shasta anyway? I think you take the internet far too seriously.

You have forgotten what you read?
He conceived the label. Seriously, do you not know this?
Each of those is a picture of a Christian God?

Perhaps you might consider expanding your circle of friends?
You didn't. I asked, how well do you think your brain would work if we were to add days or years of propagation delays to the neurones in your brain?
That article makes for a good laugh,
but not much more.
None of their claims about a "plasma universe" have ever been demonstrated,
and there are plenty of reasons why it is very doubtful.
That does sound like an exercise in self-deception. I believe one should be most critical about those things you really want to be true, so as to avoid self-deception.The demon-stration is the world. The handwriting is on the wall, and has been, all through history (His story). If you want to "know" you have to ask...with sincerity, with hope, and he will answer.
I do not seek religion, and see no reason offered that would cause me to be concerned about whatever it is you are alluding to.On the other had, if you are not hungry and do not thirst for God, for more than the world has to offer...then you will not reach high enough, and will not hear. It is either in you to do so, or it is not.
Show me an universty-level ethics class synopsis that includes cosmology.

Yes.In this case, nope. Did you even read any of his papers?
But you didn't know that Guth conceived of the label.I know that his papers contain a whole lot more than simply a label, and include all sorts of metaphysical claims about "negative pressure' in a vacuum too. The lowest possible pressure in a vacuum is *zero*, not negative infinity.
That is not what I asked.There's only one universe, and probably an infinite number of "religions".
Actually, only ignorance is a "default position". The decision to believe any idea or withhold belief is a mental choice that is distinct from pure ignorance of concept.
Define the term 'evidence'. I suspect we're about to debate the difference between "scientific evidence" vs. empirical evidence. They aren't one and the same standard.
It does however have a bearing on the concept of "evidence" since there is no empirical cause/effect evidence to support dark matter theory, yet it's still a "popular" scientific theory.
Apparently NASA disagrees with you, however several errors in their mass estimates of galaxies and stars in that Bullet Cluster study have been revealed since 2006:

Says you.
Infinite evidence cannot be contained within a finite setting or mind. You must change, or remain below the horizon where what you ask cannot be perceived.
It sounds like you have lost nothing...so, you will likely not find it.That does sound like an exercise in self-deception. I believe one should be most critical about those things you really want to be true, so as to avoid self-deception.

My knowing the truth of another or not, doesn't matter.I could claim to "know God". How would you know if I were lying?
That's not true.
For example, if I made the claim that I had a unicorn living in my garage, you would rightly demand evidence that I actually have a unicorn in my garage.
If I fail to provide that evidence, you do not need to provide justification for not believing my claim. I have not met my burden of proof, that's all that matters. That's how the null hypothesis works.
Evidence would be something that can be used to demonstrate the truthfulness of a single proposition or claim.
No, not really. The concept of evidence isn't affected at all by the existence or non existence of dark matter.
If you actually read the article you linked, what it contains does not conflict with my original statement.
Because if it's on an internet forum, it must be true.
Nothing from nothing is nothing. You haven't proven anything. You have only defined your own position.Correct, and luckily, I am also correct in my assertion.
You claimed to have access to infinite knowledge, yet you can not provide my middle name. That's a demonstration that there is some knowledge that you don't have access to. Therefore, you do not have access to infinite knowledge.
Nothing from nothing is nothing. You haven't proven anything. You have only defined your own position.
Yes.
But you didn't know that Guth conceived of the label.
That is not what I asked.
