Is that what you think atheists do, pretend they're god? After all this time you still don't know what an atheist is. We don't believe in a god, inside or outside of us. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Failure to understand the nature of something that doesn't exist? I'm baffled by the nature of unicorns too.. God creating the universe would be much easier to sell if you had just one thing you could prove god did. But you have nothing, zero, nada. God has no track record, he's just a popular myth. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Haven't you said many times that we create our own meaning? You don't believe in God because you have taken His place. You want to make your own rules and do whatever you want. It's an easy life I guess. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

We all create our own reality, even you. Yours is the Catholic god reality. Mine is not. Creating your own reality does not mean you are god. I must obey the rules of society just like everybody else, I can hardly do whatever I want. That's something resentful god people say about atheists because they basically feel constrained by their religion. If you gave up god and became an atheist, you'd see your life was not that much different. You can't run red lights at will or rob balks. You can ignore laws if you like, at your peril. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

God didn't create Xtionity, even Jesus didn't. He believed they were living in the end times, that was the main message of his 3 year ministry. Any NT scholar will tell you all the early followers were end of days people. Xtionity evolved over hundreds of years of trial and error, It wasn't created by god, nothing is. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

FrG won't like this, it trashes the singularity. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I don't think it trashes the traditional view of Eienstein that much. He spends the majority of the time talking about how the singularity theory makes sense and then kind of abruptly says it is wrong. If you watch it again compare the common sense approach and understandability of the concepts when he is describing Eienstein's theory to the list of hypothetical and complicated theories that follow. I don't think he explained why the singularity model was wrong, but he was clear it was. Then there were a series of more and more strange ideas that seemed more fantastical then the last one. Petro, does that video really convince you that time is infinite in the past? He also briefly talked about causality and I like his quote, "the uncomfortable something from nothing moment". Putting aside space time, do you think causality can go infinitely back without a first cause? “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

| petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | I came to the conclusion that time doesn't "pass" decades before this video. I do like how he puts cool graphics to it. I think he said "the uncomfortable something from nothing moment" simply so he could continue with this video. Other of their videos delve slightly deeper in to that. But the PBS series on spacetime are trying to explain to viewers new discovery's and concepts in science, they didn't set out for a religious fight. Like Galileo, trying to move forward without stepping on religious toes. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |
