The Grand DesignFollow

He had a wife for about 20-30 years. (She married him, even knowing he was going to end up crippled.) They have kids. They divorced a while back, citing the old standby "irreconcilable differences."

So yeah, NOW he has to content himself with creating equations and theorems in his head. Before, though, he had at least one outlet.

Huh?



Seriously, though, rednecks fear science because deep down, we all know God's a phony. Republicans just have a lot more to lose if we ever actually prove it, since a large portion of their political power is ferried to them by a two-thousand year-old zombie ****. You would think someone like Tailmon, though, would be squatting and look in the mirror one day and just come to the realization that God is the worst lie ever told. An even worse lie than an unwanted *****.

Huh? I don't deny evolution, and neither do the vast majority of religious people. What those people deny is that evolution somehow "disproves" creationism.




Yes. That's my point. Just as Darwin didn't dismiss the possibility of a creation origin of life, Hawking does not dismiss the potential existence of God. But that does not stop people from interpreting their words that way.

I still say humans were bio-engineered by aliens. /nod

I know reality is not your strong point, but you might want to look up how people use the word "creationism".

It is not consistent with the way you are using it and I tire of linguistically bending over backwards to account for your deficiencies.

Incense. I hear My bible tells me their favorite is patchouli.

Not to mention if some "all mighty being" created giraffes, then they did a really, really ****** job.

Go read the Jehovah's witness thread. I linked to a site containing about 30 examples of speciation.. (the evolution of one species into another) It's a great site to start out on evolutionary theory. Learn a little something. I am curious as to how you know I've not researched the topic, though.

Another book review:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/08/books/08book.html?_r=1&hpw

"At its core “The Grand Design” is an examination of a relatively new candidate for the “ultimate theory of everything,” something called M-theory, itself an extension of string theory, which tries to reconcile general relativity and quantum mechanics. “M-theory is not a theory in the usual sense,” the authors write. “It is a whole family of different theories.” According to M-theory, “ours is not the only universe,” the authors say. “Instead M-theory predicts that a great many universes were created out of nothing.” The image that comes to mind here, others have written about M-theory, is of a God blowing soap bubbles."

Okay: so if M-theory is true there are many universes. I can certainly buy that (not that I buy into M-theory). And it might be possible for many independent lines of research to tell us that M-theory is true. To my knowledge, and I am no expert in this area, M-theory has made no testable predictions. It has been around in some form since about 1995, so 15 years.

Perhaps it will soon. Perhaps those tests will be passed. At that point, I would become interested in the implications from a scientific point of view.

Still, I have not read the book. Perhaps there is more to it.

Whoops. I typoed and that was supposed to be 25% which was an eyeballed average of the collected polls on Polling Report.

I'd get a refund on that fortune cookie.

Laws are made to be broken.
