An article about the history of neutrinos from the University of California What's a Neutrino?, that includes information about the discovery of neutrinos. A National Geographic article about proof that dark matter exists Dark Matter Proof Found, Scientists Say I couldn't find anything...

Thank you Louis. I am not actually trying to convince anyone of anything. But contrary to what some people here think, I do have an open mind. But to use a well worn phrase "not so open my brains fall out". People on this thread have made statements that challenge my beliefs, I owe it to...

Mike -- of course this is your opinion, unless you have some evidence that chance does not exist ? Your comment about a 'grand scheme' sounds suspiciously like "God's Plan" my response to that is always THIS!!! is the plan ????

Hi Mike So, I have listened to the most recent Paracast with Dr. Bernard Haisch. He presented his opinions in a rational, articulate way, though I have to say that he did not convince me. As I understand it, in Dr. Haisch's view, god is an infinite intelligence that is omnipotent, omniscient...

I am aware that they have their own books. Whether or not the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult, I will let others decide since I view all religions as cults of one sort or another. But this is sidestepping the point I was making. There are thousands of sects of Christianity and many...

Darn -- that is the problem with this -- sarcasm and humor are hard to get across. I am not worried about being insulted -- I am more secure in myself than that --- and the other was just a failed attempt at a joke

Well darn -- I think you just came to my defense -- chivalry is not dead :) and if you didn't -- let me live my fantasy -- lol

Well darn ... I don't know if I should be insulted or complimented -- LOL

So what you are saying is that current Christianity in all its different incarnations is practiced virtually the same as it was shortly after the death of Christ ? The Catholics, The Protestants, the Mormons, the Jehovah's witnesses -- are all practicing this unchanged religion ???? The...

LOL - I like Fluffy a LOT better.

Mike -- I am sorry that you are having a rough time of it. I hope things get better for you real soon. Please excuse me flipping the order of your note around, I thought responding to the second part first more important. Oh and try gagging down some yogurt -- make sure it has live cultures in...

LOL -- Someone once told me they don't eat anything with eyes, I asked about potatoes. But not to worry, I think vegetarianism is a personal decision for everyone to make on their own. It just makes me such a better person .... KIDDING .... REALLY JUST KIDDING certainly (again I blush)

Ideas become invalid when we learn they are not true. We learned that Thor does not make thunder and lightning with his hammer and discarded that belief. The same goes for all ideas religious and scientific.

My My -- go out for an evening the the thread explodes --lol Someone has already mentioned that there are religions FAR older than Christianity that are dismissed, so I will not comment on that any further. I will comment on the statement that Christianity has been dismissed out of hand. As...

It turns out our brains often make choices as much as ten seconds before we are consciencely aware of the choice Brain makes decisions before you even know it : Nature News

Why thank you -- I blush at your compliment. Why isn't a self creating god as much of a paradox as a self creating universe. There is no reason to expect that stuff can not be eternal in one form or another and that resolves the self creating paradox. I also find the idea of stuff reacting...

Mike -- When someones says that I have a 'knowing mind' I assume that to mean that I have a closed mind. If that is not what you meant or if you were not referring to me -- my apologies.

Is that ever true. According to the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary There are approximately 38,000 Christian denominations in the world. CSGC - Resources Keeping in mind that some Christians don't consider all those other denominations REAL Christians

I am sorry, what makes you think that I am A) not open minded and B) have not found my spirit ? The fact is that I have not seen nor heard any evidence of god . If and when someone presents me with evidence of god then I will happily admit to it's existence. BTW -- simply saying 'if you...

No - I haven't had the chance to listen to this week's paracast. Semantics are all we have to communicate with. There is an established definition of god, that of an all powerful conscience entity. If you are going to change that definition, then YOU will not be able to communicate. I...
