@Joku:
You are making sense, quite probably because that is what I think as well. It just doesn't seem to coincide with what you said about the analogy being flawed because of a difference in probabilities. The analogy is to point out one thing - that an ordered object (which we live in) implies an ...

ik911: This star of which I speak is called 'The Sun'.
You say you don't know what God knows, but you do know how he values life?
God says in the Bible how important life is (eternal life in particular). He doesn't say why we are orbiting around a collapsing star (I note that He did not necessarily ...

C Elegans:
Everything is life is not science, as we have repeatedly stated in this thread. There is a private, personal, intrapsychological level of everybody's life, that is not related to science but to personal emotions, states, thoughts, opinions, moral values and other beliefs. Purely out of ...

Joku:
That Boing analogy is flawed, because we don't know any mechanism that could make a 747 by chance, but we do know how life could have started by chance. On the contrary, I've just suggested a method that could make a Boeing by chance - a tornado going through a junkyard.




C Elegans ...

As far as lines that come up in every movie, how about:

'It's quiet. Too quiet.'

The Boeing: Very fine analogy in my view. If the tornado did not create an operational Boeing 747, but a furnace instead, it would not fly. You'd be able to cook on it, but not fly.
In other words: we would not be what we are now, and perhaps we wouldn't be at all if the plane (rock ...

I voted 'other', because I'm crazy about film soundtracks, especially scores - they can be all sorts of things and don't really fit a genre. They just take me to another place. It's like having a music video stored in your mind, and watching it whenever you hear the music.

"Here is my question. Given that God is infinite, and that the universe is also infinite... would you like a toasted teacake?"
-Talkie Toaster, Red Dwarf.



" 'When I booked this room, I was told it had a view.'
'It does, madam - right out that window.'
'You call that a view?'

I'm a pianist and a musicology student myself, and I think music is wonderful. Sure there's theory about it - you can learn conventions and key signatures and things to make it sound like people expect - but like you say there is something about music which (in my opinion) cannot be explained, just ...

How very true - English is a horrible language.

Just as an additional note, fraud and defraud mean the same thing, as do flammable and inflammable!

Gee, you go away for a couple of days and everyone starts going nuts over a woman boiling some water for her coffee! :p
The funny thing is that I don't have much to say about that example and I'm not up on all the hard and soft sciences so I'm not going to pretend I know what I'm talking about by ...

Where in Australia do you live? been to australia once...

Canberra.

I put one of my stories into the Gender Genie and it correctly decided I was male, but the ratio was very close: 17016 female to 17871 male. I'm kind of descriptive and complex with my writing - I don't know if that's feminine or masculine.

It seems like a lot of fuss over something that is quite inconsequential compared to the Gospel, but maybe that's just something that happens when men try to understand God completely. I believe in the Trinity but I don't see it conflicting with monotheism.

Heh, nothing to be sorry about, I just asked because I recognised some expressions and some ways of reasoning. Hehe, that's interesting - do you know what things I said that made me sound like an American?




Not sure what you mean here, but in science, there is little room for different people ...

What Aristotle says (in his work De Anima) is that, when thinking about animals and intelligence, we should think about it in terms of level of intelligence. Plants, animals, and humans all have different levels of awareness (he calls them levels of the soul). There are 3 levels of awareness- the ...

Because even if there's emptiness outside the universe, it's still infinite. Infinity full of emptiness.
Visualize this: If we travel upwards, we'd exit our atmosphere first. It becomes relatively empty outside there. If we'd travel even further and further we might reach some kind of border of the ...

OK, thanks a lot for clearing that up guys.

The problem with this game, in one word:
