  • 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.

Oh, give me a break, the Atheist does that all the time with God,

I'm an atheist and I don't.
I'm perfectly fine accepting the reality of ridiculous quantum mechanics.

I reject god claims not because they are ridiculous, eventhough they certainly are. I reject them purely because they can't be shown to reflect reality.

QM most certainly reflects reality. QM is absolutely ridiculous. But it works. When you build micro-chips based on QM, they work. That I find it ridiculous is entirely a problem of my brain, due to the fact that I live on a "human scale" level where in my day-to-day experience I am not confronted with QM weirdness and alike.

If we would live at the quantum level, our experience would be entirely different. QM would be intuitive at that point, and it is the current "human scale" that would be completely alien to us. And "ridiculous".

and I don't hear you giving them that song and dance.

I just did.

I think evolution is ridiculous for a reason,

Yes. A fallacious reason.

and you have no reason at all to assume it's the mindless conclusion you pretend

I have mountains of evidence and incredibly testable explanatory power.
Seems like a good reason.


Or is it, if it doesn't agree with you, it's not well thought out?

Projection.

My irony meter just exploded.

The rest of your post? Just more baseless junk.

Really?

So QM is "intuitive" to you? You don't find it ridiculous that a particle can be measured "here" while it is observed "there"?

You consider it perfectly logical that the mass and/or speed of an object has impact on the flow of time, relative to the flow of time of an outside observer?

All that comes "intuitively" to you and you consider it perfectly sensible and not ridiculous at all?

Excuse me, while I laugh such nonsense away.

Mountains of nothing opinions that create the illusion of something to the unaware. Same ol story, just like the rest of your post...ho hum yammering repeats.


Yes, really, and I'll get back to the rest of this one when I run out of something meaningful. :)

Oh, we've got LOTS of things like that, don't we!

Two misconceptions, since God told us WHY this was so more than 3k years ago. It's because Noah's grandsons had NO other Humans to marry when they grew up on the present Earth. They married and had children with a descendant of the sons of God (prehistoric people). Gen 10:10 Cush, Noah's grandson, and a prehistoric woman had Nimrod, who built the FIRST Human cities on this Earth.

Nimrod had INHERITED Adam's superior intelligence, which is like God's Gen 3:22 AND the DNA and ERVs of prehistoric people. FYI, This is the ONLY way to place Adam's superior intelligence inside the bodies of people who descended from the common ancestor of Apes, UNLESS you can show us HOW mindless Nature produced Adam's superior intelligence in people who descended from Water. God Bless you

Nope. Objective, independend testable and verifiable evidence.
Testable predictions coming from a falsifiable theory.

It's the best kind of evidence.

Same ol story, just like the rest of your post...ho hum yammering repeats.

The rest of my post, which you again completely ignore.

I note that you can't even bring yourself to admit that by any and all accounts, QM is completely ridiculous, yet clearly it's pretty accurate. If you build a micro-chip based on QM, it works. Without QM, you can't get it to work.

QM is completely absurd. It's completely counter-intuitive. It's so absurd, Einstein couldn't bring himself to consider it an accurate reflection of reality.

It's so ridiculous that physicists have uttered the phrase "if you think you understand QM, you don't understand QM".

I understand why you're doing your very best to avoid addressing that. Because it would show that having the subjective opinion of "it's ridiculous" is not an argument against the accuracy of any idea. At best, it's only reflective of the limitations of our human brains.

Yes, really, and I'll get back to the rest of this one when I run out of something meaningful. :)

So, you're going to go on record stating that QM comes "intuitively" to you?
To you, QM makes perfect sense? To you, QM isn't ridiculously absurd?

Strange... the completely alien weirdness in QM is "sensible" and "intuitive" to you, but the simple concept of accumulation of small changes to end up with big changes is blowing your mind.
