Last week, in Nice, France, I was privileged to participate, along with 30 scholars, mostly scientists and mathematicians, in a conference on the question of whether the universe was designed, or at least fine-tuned, to make life, especially intelligent life. Participants — from Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Berkeley and Columbia among other American and European universities — included believers in G0D, agonistics and atheists.

Pardon for the OT, but is the G0D (with an inserted zero) rendering a, for lack of a better term, “kosher” one? I can’t recall having seen it expressed that way previously.
I didn’t notice that - never saw that before and typically we write G-d but I guess it will serve!

I believe Prager is Jewish I could be wrong that might explain the “0”
But it cold be a subtle political joke making fun of those who worship Zerobama
>>I believe Prager is Jewish I could be wrong that might explain the “0”.
Correct, but typically G-d, not G0d, is used - at least in my experience.
If there is an infinity of universe’s, could somebody please tell me how to find the bridge to the one where there is no marxism, no collectivism, no islam, no PC, no multiculturalism, and no liberals (in the modern sense).

BTW, I’m seeing some inappropriate ads on the site. I don’t think it’s just me, but I suppose it’s possible. The situation has been reported. The site webmaster was not aware of it and is looking into it.
If you don’t see them, then just ignore this.

"This causes problems. No matter how many times I write "G-d", the spell-check on the computer has no idea what I mean. "G-d" is not in its dictionary, and it won't accept it as an addition to the dictionary. So the computer comes up with all types of suggested corrections: Go, Do, G'day. And often half the name ends up on a new line: G-

I wonder if G0D would be accepted as an autocorrect option in spell-check?
Fascinating article, btw. Those do seem to be on the order of Schrödinger's cat variety odds.

I’ll buy a ticket too to a ‘verse where black is black, white is white, and you font have to guess what the truth is.

Actually I skipped through that whole thing about why he uses G0d.
It would not have to be an autocorrect entry, just add it to the dictionary as he apparently did.
BTW, I haven’t the faintest idea what this means: “Schrödinger’s cat variety odds” but have added it to my list of things to explore as time allows.
Not G0d or G-d; but GOD! Anything else is a mockery. If Freepers who are conservatives (I exclude the trolls and RINOs - which probably an oxymoron)can’t get it right, how can we expect others to do so.
If you are offended by the correct spelling - GOD - too bad. Get over it. For the NSA, put that in your data banks under “troublemaker”.
It’s a show of respect by not spelling out his name, typically a Jewish custom, IIRC.
While it may not be a “NTHockey Approved Method,” that doesn’t make it invalid.
I think prize-winning pr*ck Richard Dawkins called this “theory” ridiculous. Even that monstrosity won’t make such a claim. For one thing, there is absolutely ZERO evidence for the multiverse. It’s mainly a theory invented to try and maneuver atheism around troublesome mathematics.
interesting article and must have been an interesting gathering!
Note that the subject matter and conclusions of this esteemed gathering of scientists could be not taught or even discussed in our schools without drawing a lawsuit from the militant a-theists, if it was allowed to discussed at all by intimidated school boards
I didn’t see the name “Richard Dawkins”
they dont want to be found or the isms you mention would be battering down their borders trying to emigrate and contaminate them
