Baw come off it ya shite stirrir Gnash, like the rest of us, is clearly taking in everybodies view points to make up his own, with such conflicting views you have to try to find faults to determine which makes the most sense to you. I do it to myself as much as I do others all the time. I'm sure he does the same with my views and I'm sure he doesn't give anybody a hard time over it. There's a difference between maliciously ridiculing someones beliefs simply because they differ to your own and questioning them to help you understand what makes sense to you. Don't ruin the thread you f*

Gnash, ponder this; A theist gives the reason for the creation of the Universe as God, by definition an unreasonable and unexplainble entity.... An atheist gives the reasoned argument "we're not sure but we are confident eventually science will unravel it further and further as it has historically". So we are looking for a reasonable answer and when science that has proven steadfast for its history can't yet give an answer we consider it reasonable and logical to take an unreasonable and unexplainable answer! Do you get the irony in that? We pursue reason with the unreasonable! LOL

That's your faith and that's fine by me. I sure as hell can't prove you wrong.

One more thing, the everything from nothing bussiness again. If that's what they said they're full of shit! Fact is they don't know what happened before the big bang so how they can say there was nothing is beyond me. We have to be careful with our definition of nothing, I suspect they meant no physical universe, at the beginning before atoms were created and the fundamental forces of nature were formed, but f**k knows what they were on about.

I don't know about the hawking thing so couldn't comment on that event. As for back to square one, I wouldn't agree with that, we have made progress by eliminating the previous steady state theory which said the universe had and always will be the same with no beginning and end. So we now understand that there was indeed a creation of this universe at least, in it's current state. Why should we believe that science and logical reasoning didn't exist before? As science has answered so much so far without a shred of evidence to support God! But then there wouldn't be, that chap is conveiniently

The article is largely an individuals interpretation of the Norse mythology based on current scientific knowledge. I mean it's not wrong, Jupiter is a life saver for us, it's like our safety shield from comets. Other than that I couldn't comment on the mythology side of it. I generally find the 'old religions' fascinating from an academic point.

Fecking hell this is purely in the field of anthrapology and human psychology but I'll have a bash. How many people actually sacrifice their lives for complete strangers? I mean an adult sacrificing their life for a child is completely understandable, we are pre programmed to protect the young, that pre programming probably doesn't distinguish between fatal and non fatal outcomes just a response to a situation. I mean, does that hero even think he's going to die? Is it even a consideration or have we evolved due to the statistics of just reacting with no thought being better on average for hum

I look at it like this; Millenia ago we knew next to feck all and religion explained all the big questions. We'd look out into the sky with awe much as we do today, we would see all these points of light passing us by, it was perfectly sensible that we were all there was and these object passed over us daily which the gods controlled, what else could possibly explain it? Then we figured the Earth was round and these objects were in fact distant from us, it then became perfectly sensible that we were the center of our known universe and every day these things orbited us. Again, of course we wer

Gnasher mate, you're right by our laws of physics in this universe. Problem is we are assuming all 'this' came from nothing simply because it all came from a singularity and expanded. We literally have no idea what was there before, if indeed there was a 'before', and if there was a before how the laws of that universe (for lack of a better word) behaved. We just don't know and will possibly be limited by the boundary conditions of our universe. It doesn't mean science doesn't exist outside of it, just that are not able to work with from within ours. While i wouldnt pretend i could eve

I keep threatening to. Dunno as I'll get a great sense of achievement from it though, just not 'my thing'. 12 mile of solid obstacle course would be different, that I'd be well up for, it's all the mind numbing running I think is gash.

Fined For Taking Kids Out Of School On A Holiday
Born Hunter replied to TOMO's topic in General Talk
In fact the more I think about it the more I like the idea, encourage hard work with a reward. The kid works hard and the parents pull their weight then they get their term time holiday! Winner winner chicken dinner! -
Fined For Taking Kids Out Of School On A Holiday
Born Hunter replied to TOMO's topic in General Talk
I probably don't need to tell you mate that "degrees" of a rule never work, it's either a rule or it isn't Alright then to re-word it; if the kids doing well, always gets his homework in on time, the parents always attend parents evening and the kid generally proves a good student why should they be denied a max 2 week term time holiday to save expense? The kid won't suffer for it and will in all probability benefit from the extra curricula experience. It could be policy to give the kid additional home work building up to the absence to offset the effect it has to his studies. It did m -

WILF, surely there should be a degree of flexibility allowed to parents that show they are putting in the time with their childs studies? Why is making it a criminal offence necessary? It just screams of target met policy over rulling common sense to me. -
Let us know how it works out :laugh: I'll do that shroom, but ironically you'll have to wait untill you join me...

Yeah, I wasn't getting at you Grim mate. Just a general comment. I'm not a fan of trophys for bragging rights either, I just love them, I dunno I guess it's the magnificance of them! I'd love a big old 14 point stag head on the wall, I'd love even more a big grand dinning room and hallway full of them! LOL. I love looking at pics of old estate's halls absolutely clad with trophy stag heads! I know what you mean about bragging rights, I can't fathom that. I mean surely the man that can stalk the unstalkable has the bragging rights over the man than simply kills the biggest head? But equall

That video seemed to make out that the act of pithing is somehow shocking? What's shocking about it? Secondly, I don't know why these 10 GSDs were put down but haven't particularly got a problem with it personally.

WILF, I'm on the verge of topping myself just to see if the big man meets me on the other side! Put this to bed once and for all! LOL
-
Are you also saying that all the atheist scientists are atheists in spite of what is intellectually obvious? They actually allow their heart to rule over what logic is telling them? I'm not sure what to say to that...... it's absolutely laughable! Atheists are too dumb and emotional to see that God is the only logical answer?
-
I'm curious how the search for the Higgs Boson 'proves' an intelligent creator? You've basically just said that science has proven the existence of god? You're right many scientists are also theists. The Big Bang theory, as I have said, is popular with theists for this reason. But don't mistake what it is, it does not state that everything came from nothing as I keep trying to explain. Just that our universe was once a singularity from which it evolved with expansion and the progression of time. The Big Bang theory does not try to predict what happened before expansion. As for faith in

I'd have a room full of trophies if I could, LOL. I'll not hide the truth of it. I love impressive antlers and furs and all that. But offer me a simple trophy or a cracking hunt on a cull animal and I'll take the cracking hunt every time. How the feck anybody can waste venison is beyond me, I understand rutting stags and bucks can be rank but it's just not cricket now is it.

I think paulus has rinsed em mate...

I've got feck all constructive to add to this as I'm not soldier but got a mate who's high up in RAF Regt. and they obviously have to do their annual fitness test, he said exactly the same, loads of youngsters that have excellent cardio but no upper/core body strength. They can run miles in minutes and score high on bleep test but can't pull/press up for shit. Out of interest how strict are the army on press up/sit up form? The Royal Marines press ups are those elbows tucked into your sides ones, absolutely smash your triceps! I see a lot of people think they know what each exercise is but

Gravity dilates time and contracts distances in a similar way that velocities of the order of light speed does, I believe. So yeah, mass and energy affect the local shape of space and time. The more massive the object or intense the energy the greater the effect and the more space and time is 'bent'. I'm no expert but I believe that at some critical point the 'fabric' of space time can be bent so much it is torn, there is a discontinuity. What happens then, who knows..... It's where Hawking would start talking about worm holes.
-
Depends what you mean rip through time? It's been theorised they could bend space sufficiently to effectively try to turn inside out I believe which if I'm not mistaken is a wormhole? Ripping time though and causing non-continuous jump through the time line? Hmmmm, sounds plausible, I'm vaguely remembering something. It raises all the usual problems with time travel though. It may just jump you to another parrellel time line and not actually break your own. (multiverse theory)
-
Fooking hell Malt, what with Gnasher asking me about the philosophy of time, paulus cracking on about blackholes and time travel, someone mentioning string theory (which I think we've tactfully dodged) and then you go and drop that pearl! My thought patterns are so twisted up with questions and ponderings I'll be suprised if I can get myself washed and fed tonight! f**k me I love these conversations but they're fecking difficult over the web, always best done in the evening over drinks! LOL. What I love about them is strictly speaking it's philisophy which anybody can join in with.
