‘There is NO GOD’ Stephen Hawking’s final revelation of the afterlife REVEALED

No, really, I was just making a observation.

Here's what "making fun of it" looks like: Only a fucking cowardly pussy would post the shit you post under an alias, Into the Night. Someone with balls would do it under their real name.

See the difference?




As I said above!




No...simply pointing out that you are full of shit regarding the world's attitude toward Barack Obama and the abomination, Donald Trump.



No I do not dislike him.



Fuck you and your "extreme argument fallacy."



You are correct, I do NOT like him. But I do not dislike him.

There is a difference. Learn it. You won't look so foolish.




Okay. But stop getting so triggered. You left an "r" out.




No I don't.

But, if you are able to produce a news media sentence like, "He is a sleazy, ignorant, self-absorbed, boorish, classless abomination...and should not be the face of America on the world's stage"...I'll reconsider.



I'll wait for the link.

Argument by repetition and multiple fallacies. First warning.
 
No it is not.
Fascism is fascism.

I'll give you that.

The rest of what you are saying is bullshit.





Not at all.

Do you?




I am not redefining history; I am not redefining the German language...and I am not supporting socialism. Other than that...you did get the punctuation and capitalization correct.



I don't like him because he is a sleazy, ignorant, self-absorbed, boorish, classless abomination...and should not be the face of America on the world's stage.

I thought I mentioned that.

Argument by repetition and multiple fallacies. Part of the first warning.
 
A theory is an explanatory argument. It does not have 'opposing sides'. A philosophical argument is not a theory. It doesn't explain anything.

A theory of science doesn't have 'opposing sides'. It has a null hypothesis and tests against that hypothesis. Science does not use voting or consensus.

That is the definition your more comfortable with and that's ok. :good4u:

One exception comes to mind.
Our modern scientific temperature scales, chiefly Kelvin and centigrade, are arbitrary.

But centigrade is worth noting in context of your assertion. Celsius' original scale was the familiar freezing point / boiling point scale we know today, with 100 degrees between them.

BUT !!

In Celsius' original scale, zero C was the boiling point, and 100 C was freezing point of H2O.
It's a useful scale. Weather reports would be even more tedious if ambient outdoor temperatures were reported on a scale that required 15 digits to disclose them.

Scientists kicked the can down road with it for a few years until a popular uprising of scientists conducted a successful palace coup d’état. They over-ruled Celsius, reversed his scale, and independent of him declared zero C the freezing point, and 100 C the boiling point of water. And that's how we obtained the centigrade scale we have today. And it is also why I do not like to call it the "Celsius scale", for to do so perpetuates historic fiction. It's centigrade. And that's what I call it.

But I take your point, though not a truism, and though vaguely phrased, it's generally true that scientific truth is not determined by popular opinion.

Great man. Sad to see him go.
 
It's fine if you don't believe any more.... but you sure spend a great deal of time berating those who do...

I berate their actions if those actions deserve berating. Believing in fairy tales is childish and to each his or her own, but heinous behavior stemming from believing in fairy tales deserves calling out. Dontcha think?

A unit of measurement is not science. There is no such thing as a 'scientific' temperature scale. There are just different temperature scales. You are trying to describe a 'scientific' inch.

Science is a set of falsifiable theories. It is not a unit of measurement. It is not even a measurement or observation at all.

Each scale has it's own advantages and disadvantages.

Centigrade is a great scale for cooking (and chemistry, which is largely cooking inedible subsances!).
Kelvin is a great scale for describing energy.
The Fahrenheit scale is most useful for discussing the weather, since weather rarely reaches the boiling point of water and the temperature of weather affects how 'hot' it feels.

There is no 'best' scale. There is no 'scientific' scale.
 
Since there is no evidence for the existence of any god or gods, a lack of belief in a god or gods is the default. As for "faith", faith is what hucksters and con artists depend on, also known as gullibility.

a) You're not a scientist. It shows.

b) Mathematics is the language of science.

c) Science involved quantification. And quantities are designated in units.
There's nothing sacred to science about Fahrenheit, or centigrade. But they're legitimate units.

Splendid.
There's no law against science quantifying in units.

The observation you're pretending to refute is:
"Our modern scientific temperature scales, chiefly Kelvin and centigrade, are arbitrary." s
The notion of absolute zero is scientific. And our Kelvin temperature scale is set to that standard.
Zero degrees Kelvin is absolute zero.

Yours appears to be an aimless squabble. If you can get relevant with it, please do.

That is EXACTLY what science is not!
"It is not a unit of measurement." IN
1) I never asserted otherwise.

2) You're a layman to the discipline of science. I'm a scientist. Do not presume to flatter yourself by educating me about science.
"Each scale has it's own advantages and disadvantages." IN
My point precisely.

Okay...I agree with that.

But that is not the same as "a belief that there are no gods"...which is what some are averring here.

ME: I lack a belief that any gods exist. I also lack a belief that there are no gods.




As for "faith", faith is what hucksters and con artists depend on, also known as gullibility.

Yup...and that hold for the people with "faith" that a GOD exists...and those with "faith" that there are no gods.

You are pissing into the wind by arguing with that guy, Sear. He is the MOST close minded individual posting in this forum.

Yes. "Not a tsunami" is one comment I've heard more than once. But the speakership has not only left the retiring Ryan, but has left his party.

Speaker Pelosi II ?

Thanks FA,
I didn't really imagine I'd enlighten the troll there.
Instead it's a formality of protocol, just to correct the record. There are more lurkers than posters.

The accompaniment to my earlier post would be that if God wanted us to believe in Him, there'd be plenty of evidence that He really did exist. Instead, all we've got is a bunch of bad logic and wishful thinking.

Perhaps.
Or there's the perspective on it George Burns and John Denver presented in the feature movie Oh God. We can't entirely dismiss the fact that the possibilities include the binary you present. But we also know those two possibilities are not the only two.
