The fundamental flaw in your argument is that you don't really understand AX>the scientific method works. Or, at least you aren't revealing that know AX>in your post.
OK asshole, so it's OK to posit shit we can't see or have a prayer of EVER proving like extra dimensions. And I agree that it is OK. It's not repeatabl provable but it is somehow 'scientific' even though that defies the very defintion of what science as what is usually defined by idiots like yourself
However, to posit that there is some autonomous intellegence in those dimens acting in some fasion to cause effect here is somehow not scientific and is frowned upon eventhough its the best explanation for what we see.
That is bulllshit and all of your holier then thou replies won't change that And poeple are waking up to this.

Just I can't prove that anyone is not the room next to me unless I can see i that room in some way.
I think you are under the delusion that "metaphysical" means something concrete and tangible - but it is really just a blanket term for things that don't understand in a physical sense.
Trying to say that there
any scientific validity for an omniscient superbeing responsible for the AX>creation of the universe is totally ludicrous.
People are waking up to believing in a Magic Grandpa who controls the univers
and will spank us if we don't do as he says?

You're absolutely right and I agree with you completely.
This would only be true if we all agreed to define "God" as a wholly e>metaphysical thing. One possible source of confusion here is that we don't al
believe, or disbelieve, in the same concept of God.
The idea that anyone who might disagree with your dogmatic metaphysical view can only be a religous nut is pretty obvious in your posts.
"Mage Grandpa" Funny. That's not what I said and you know it. But you need t misquote, bend and stack the deck so you can be right. That is the problem o all athiests who believe science backs thier religous views.
If you want to claim there is no God then fine, but leave science out of it because science can't help you.
Christians who cannot be wrong have the same problem. This is a human condit
I said what I meant. Possible autonomous intelligence. Not a super being. No the creator of the universe. I didn't say science could *prove* it either. I said science might be able to be used to look for the effects of such an intelligence and possibly someday be used to peer into these dimensions wher such an intelegence might exist.
If these other 7 or 8 other dimensions really do exist then why should we th that autonomous intelligence only exists here and not there? Isn't that like saying life can only exist on this planet and nowhere else? If these places real shouldn't we be getting on with trying to observe them?
And the truth is, there is no evidence that someone else is driving this boat
and lots of evidence that evolution and slowly methodical processes are.
Yes, I see how we are the same. I believe in rational explanations of the AX>universe, and Christians believe in fantasy worlds with magic angels and AX>sinister demons.
Yes, I see how we are soooo similar.
It's because of science that I don't believe in God.
I don't believe that is neccesarily true. I think you *might* be mistaken. Evolution is a slippery word. Change over time is obvious. What is not obvio is how life started here, why the fossil record is such a mess for Darwin's theories, or why even the simplest protocell is still so impossible to build
It IS obvious however that if you even start to question "evolution", then y are immediatley branded a creationist, etc etc.
I guess we can question everything except "sceince" which is too bad becasue science only gets better by being questioned.
The best part about science is that it doesn't give many facts, it only suggests things that are probably facts based on a preponderance of evidence
They have a pretty good idea of how life started here, and it begins with AX>self-replicating molecules in the chemical soup that was the birth of our AX>planet.
As far as the fossil record goes, that's a strawman and a distortion. There's
an abundance of evidence suggested by the fossil record that suggest evolutio
Given all of that, evolution is the most liekly culprit to explain the eviden
laid before us. And if not evolution, what other process would you suggest?
The fossil record is jumbled up badly. That's not a strawman. The fossil rec shows life here as soon as the planet can support it - which so far accordin science isn't possible. A basic self-replicating protocell is an incredible problem right now. People are working on it. And I really do hope they make progress but so far it doesn't look so hot.
Then we have relatively little change for billions of years and bam, then th inexplicable explosion of diversty. Both of these facts are against what we should expect to find from the theory of starting simple and getting gradual more and more complex.
Given all of that, evolution is the most liekly culprit to explain the ev AX>laid before us. And if not evolution, what other process would you sugge
I would like to see further RnD with protocell construction. At some point w going to have to cave if we can't get one to poof into existence on it's own Building one in a lab will not do. Although building a self-replicating protocell would be a good and awesome step in the right direction, building only proves that inteligent beings can start life. And that is the definitio Intelegent Design.
In order to really prove life started here by unguided means, we'll need to replicate it. That shouldn't be to tough seeing that life got started here practially as soon as the planet would support it.
We don't have to prove life started here by unguided means - because that assumes that life started here by some magical force.

can one not believe in god and evolution too?, we may have evolved from sing celled goop but our intelligence was taught by some other power, what is you take on the pyramids in egypt, mexico, cambodia, the veritable airport in pe
just a though.

If I was pushed to come up with an off-the-wall theory, it still wouldn't involve a God figure manipulating things. It would probably involve visitations by a highly evolved race that has long since left this part of galaxy. That would explain a lot.

same here.. even the bible speaks of ufo's.. you ezekial (sp) the wheel with the wheel and chariots of fire.
I'm not out to judge ones religion much, I'm too much a bigot, scientology seems crazy to me, and is of course fiction but some can be rooted in truth, just as true as the bible can be explained.

I like the UFOS in the bible. but I think they were aliens.
i.e. if you were primitive man and you saw a ship land, how would you write about it? big firey bird comes down from sky to ground...

who's to say these "aliens" aren't our higher power? could they have thrown their DNA in the soil of the earth to create beings in their image?
who knows?

Yes but...who created them?
At some point, something just became reality, and wasn't created by somethin else. My feeling is that this is where our world and life came from.

maybe we are setlers from another planet?
and when we go here we turned retarded and forgot everything.
maybe we were the scum on the universe and we got dumped here to fend for ourselfs.

Yeah.. the chicken or the egg.. I dunno.. and I will never in my natural lif know.. but if this universe and everything in it just "banged" into existanc where did the pressure come from to create the matter, and where is from?
