    Something From Nothing - a conversation w/ Richard Dawkins & Lawrence Krauss

    They pervert it because they don't believe in it. That's my whole point. Anyway, in my first post I tried to explain what my thoughts were and a little bit of why I'm not an atheist. I wans't trying to attack anybody. I was actually just sharing some points that I had thought through over the...

    My wife, who I respect as much as anybody thinks transfer of consciuness is a real possibility. She's not an athiest or a religious person. I understand there are possibilties. I simply don't see it. That doesn't mean we can't have a civil discussion or that we can't agree to disagree. Does it...

    Science can show we are indeed meat bots B.S. and ya know it. As for my view. I plainly state that I don't know. That it's possible. I simply don't believe it. Why do you find that so insulting? I honestly don't understand. I have not cursed you out or called you names or said everything you...

    Angel, if you are insulted then you are choosing to be insulted. It's funny how you get insulted when it's you and your heros and little worldview that are questioned. You even took up for Islam a while back and they would cheerfully cut off your head (at least their fundis would) But, when it's...

    Something From Nothing - a conversation w/ Richard Dawkins & Lawrence Krauss

    The Church of Satan does not worship or support a belief in the Devil or other supernatural entities. "My real feeling is that anybody who believes in supernatural entities on some level is insane. Whether they believe in The Devil or God, they are abdicating reason," said Peter Gilmore.[3]...

    Something From Nothing - a conversation w/ Richard Dawkins & Lawrence Krauss

    This shows you know nothing about Anton Lavey and Satanism. He absolutely did not believe in satan or god or anything but himself. Now, the impostors and the hangers on? I don't know. Even Jaques Vallee dabbled in the church of satan. No, bud, they aren't "Chrisitan" or any other flavor of deity...

    Oh lord Mike. I don't rush to Stephen Hawking as my authority. Here's a scoop for ya. The brain has NOT been shown to produce something that is limitless and weightless and self aware. It is a great receiver and a great conductor but not a first cause. At least the jury is still out. Actually, I...

    ‘Remote viewers’ in Nevada help solve California murder

    It's funny. Some people :rolleyes: say well I'm rationale and I'm open minded. But, when presented with something contrary to their worldview they rush to find an alternate explanation. They don't stop and consider what is being said or how something might work. They simply run to (as a certain...

    I don't buy it either. ;) But, I can and often do hold contradicting views within my skope of arguments. It keeps me sharp. Never fear, at my age and with my life experience I am not easy to "sway." People often confuse my natural "southern" politeness with weakness for some reason. I assure you...

    Well, that's not really true T.O. I think I do understand what you are saying when I really think about it. Anyway, I'm just gonna hang up and listen on this one for a little while. I do lean toward the points you have made. But, Mike has certainly done his home work on this subject. I'm a...

    Something From Nothing - a conversation w/ Richard Dawkins & Lawrence Krauss

    See? Angelo and I (or is that me and Angelo?) Anyway, we can argue without calling names. And when he jumps to conclusions I just use cool, calm logic. ;) A sense of humor will get ya a long way in this world. :cool:

    Something From Nothing - a conversation w/ Richard Dawkins & Lawrence Krauss

    On my last trip to the zoo I saw an ape and for the first time really looked him in the eye. Amazing creatures and I can see why Jane Goodall found a spiritual connection there.

    Something From Nothing - a conversation w/ Richard Dawkins & Lawrence Krauss

    Well, Angel I have attempted to explain why I feel the way I do. It's neither right or wrong per say. It's just what I think. I just put it out there.

    Something From Nothing - a conversation w/ Richard Dawkins & Lawrence Krauss

    Angel, I know you are not calling names. ;) neither am I. But, you are also not really engaging the statements either. The skewed view might even come into clearer focus with a good mirror. Just sayin. :p

    Something From Nothing - a conversation w/ Richard Dawkins & Lawrence Krauss

    Folks, I don't, I honestly don't care what you believe in. You think aliens abducted you and stopped a clock and transported you through the wall? I don't mind. You think lightning hit a priordial pool and all life started by accident? I don't care. You think aliens seeded earth and are coming...
