universeness

ok maybe ramorra! I away for a shower a feed and then the cheers of the beers!

I think it's important to separate human actions and the labels used to describe it. A killer Christian has to contend with his/her COMMANDMENT from g...

Could be another story for your writing hand. You know enough about the physics involved so you could give Torus guy the powers he needs to control hi...

In my opinion, absolutely not. Some of the technologies which have come from scientific endeavors have caused many problems due to who controls them a...

I am surprised you ask! Due to its historical use by nefarious humans to facilitate small elites to control large populations. Its power has been redu...

I agree, we are all looking for meaning, we are just arguing about the best way to go about it. I respect true seekers that's why I gave time and brai...

What about the ones we didn't make extinct? 99.9% of all species that there have ever been on Planet Earth have gone extinct. The number of species th...

Fine but do those who disagree with you have to stay on this planet as well or will you let them try to develop technologies that will allow them to l...

I'm serious too! Write what you want, from 'a pissed off at science' perspective or not. You are a free man. I fully support you in this. If you want ...

So how else will we be able to leave this planetary nest EugeneW? should we wait for god instructions on how to extend humanity beyond our little pale...

Ok EugeneW, I have to accept your word. I am sure you understand why I might consider the possibility. :smile:

No, it's mostly in the name of capitalist f***wits who want as much profit as their sweaty hands can bank as quickly as possible. Animal experiments f...

:lol: I only cuddle women EugeneW they used to let me do that a lot more than they do now! :gasp: Make up your mind, do you welcome the technologies p...

I disapprove, are you a vegetarian or a vegan? or is that a whole other thread. The search for knowledge regarding the origin, structure and workings ...

I don't speak that language but I am content with the Wikipedia quote on Einstein, for now. If I am wrong then I am sure some god will permit his 'ess...

Back to the cave for you then, to cower in the corner at all the scary noises outside. I won't be joining you.

I will file your opinion under the philosophy of Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry. "Opinions are like assholes, everybody got one!'

Would you prefer it if the Nazis had produced the Abomb first? Sometimes you have to get filthy yourself to defeat dirty evil!

The so-called christian leadership at the time, absolutely yes, they are guilty as are all those 'christians' that took part in a particular atrocity....

No, I said that, I think, one of the techniques you employ on a discussion website like this, is to ask 'but why why why? style questions when you kno...

It you keep stretching the elastic of your rebuttals EugeneW, they will snap!

:rofl: What's that quote from 'A Christmas Carol?, from Marley's ghost to Scrooge?' Something like 'The human race IS your business,' something like t...

No its pantheist and perhaps if he were still alive, he would have probably updated it to panpsychist.

:rofl: and you lay this confidently at the door of science? You don't accuse the human's abuse of science/technology. You give them no responsibility ...

:lol: :rofl: I tried to warn you that the exchanges on this tread would test your exasperation tolerance level but you suggested I should effectively ...

Then copy the quote you are referring to, I don't recall typing that or the context you present. Why someone might choose to extend their life was not...

What?? Should we have just stayed in or caves then and not made the use of fire that we did and not have employed science to attach a big bit of sharp...

You give Richard a great compliment here, you should send him a copy of your compliment, it will help brace him in this, in my opinion, honorable goal...

Then stop doing science and go help build a tabernacle for your god(s) or you run the risk of being assigned the label hypocrite!!

What's your personal opinion got to do with science's projected ability to extend human lifespan?

To quote Rod Stewart "You wear it well, a little old-fashioned but that's all right!" :smile:

Scientists are obliged to do no such thing! They often choose to, when they think that the philosophical points made are erroneous and of little value...

As is yours (welcome back to the pantomime! act III, I think.)

Wrong! Which scientific document are you getting your number for human brain capacity from? How can a human brain hold more information than the numbe...

Agree! and each also has its associated measure of fact against fiction.

I think @"Gregory A" is probably closest on this one but it remains controversial. The quote from Wikipedia is: Albert Einstein's religious views have...

A computer is built with an amount of memory which makes it commercially viable to the current home market. Computers not built for the home market ar...

Still no response to: Sci-fi shows play with this concept all the time but from the point of sentient lifeforms who existed in our galaxy millions of ...

I am going to use an old politician's response to your employment of repetition EugeneW. "I refer you to previous on record comments I have made, on t...

If you think science is a con then stop your own personal relationship with it, you insult your own house!

I am learning more about your approach all the time EugeneW, you ask questions that you already know the answer to. I assume you just do so to annoy y...

This approach is so tedious, computer memory does not consist of a single chip so what are you talking about?

This reminds me of a quote from Carl Sagan's movie 'Contact.' If we are the only intelligent lifeforms in the whole Universe, it seems like an awful w...

Yes or (no shit Sherlock!) atheism OPPOSES theism but most atheists will pick their targets wisely. I would prefer to debate a priest or imam or guru ...

You miss the point again! I am incredulous at the statements you type, such as the one above. You think I should be grateful to the most pernicious co...

Your dialogue is based on obfuscation and distraction on this issue, in my opinion, EugeneW. You gave no response to: and I know for a fact that compu...

so what's 1 with a trillion zero's? closer to infinite?

What?? there is no number big enough to be called infinity, that's just mathematical fact! I have a Computing science honours degree, trust me, Comput...

Your number has nothing to do with the memory capacity of the human brain. If you want a big number then check out the wikipedia quote below: In the P...

Another simple example would be that the storage capacity of the internet is measured at 10^ 24 bytes, or 1 million exabytes. The memory capacity of a...
