Must be a "giver" to the government.. a.k.a. slave of socialism..
cause one things sure.. socialism is slavery by government..
Perhaps tomorrow. He spoke for one hour and ten minutes, and there were sixteen questions from the audience. I have four+ pages of notes, and I have to get up early in the morning.
Most of what was said was familiar to anyone who frequents these threads. Even the Flying Spagetti Monster made an appearance in the questions segment...
Hmmm . . . I had a different solution in mind. Less wear and tear on the patrons.
Feel free to come up with an example of a physical object that the abstractions of math do not apply to. I'm sure physicists will be very interested in your reply.
For example, if these calculations, or this definition of intelligence, can be applied to an object that is known to be the product of human intelligence, how much does it tell us, and how accurate is the telling?
You are either being intentionally dense or you have a really difficult time with reading comprehension.
One more time: There is no more intelligence implied by the existence of a physical object than the intelligence of the physical object itself. Period. End of story. In other words, the existence of a rock implies no more intelligence than exists in that rock, no matter what its form. The existence of a statue does not imply an "intelligent sculptor", though at least we are pretty sure sculptors exist. The existence of a human implies no more intelligence in the universe than is intrinsic to that human -- not very much in other words.
This is really an elementary notion that you are very resistant to even though a little thought should make it obvious that this must be the case. The fact remains: there is no construct in the universe that requires intelligence to have been formed. Just because you wish it was not so does not change this fact.
Yeah. It's all 1s and 0s. It is a simple matter to assert that intelligence is not a "requirement" WRT to any physical object. But is it such a simple matter to prove that the measure of predictive error complexity objectively applies to, or represents, the physical world?
Why should I feel compelled to provide evidence that would controvert the scientific model of intelligent design? Why don't you supply an example of a mathematically inaccessible entity so we can all be amused by the chaos?
As far as I know, neither Luther nor "the Pope" (which Pope? Certainly not the present Pope, nor his immediate predecessor) "embraced" heliocentrism.
I'm sorry, Virginia-American, but I am really not following you here. Help???
Wow. Pretty sure. Umm-hmm. To be honest, I've never seen a guy carving rock into statues. You may be right. All the evidence heretofore is hearsay. Good heavens. The Statue of Liberty may have sprung up out of the Hudson River by a pure act of nature. I'm pretty sure it didn't, but only pretty sure.
Thank you so much for writing!
True.... but honest conflict trumps weasly conflict..
The American people have pretty much been brain washed into being socialists.. especially oldies and minoritys.. Weasly confict will not de-program them..
The Giverment has nothing to give except what they take..
God fearing patriots, pioneers, workers, farmers, capitalists and soldiers made America what it is. Sniveling atheist punks are a footnote
I am too, puroresu -- oh, so am I! Somehow, I think he will not disappoint people who love the Constitution and take it seriously.
Of course, the ACLU (plus NOW, PP, PETA, PFAW, HRC (as in "Human Rights Campaign," not what's-her-name), NAACP, CAIR, et al., ad nauseam -- the "cause people") collectively will have kittens over this -- that is, when Justice Alito is confirmed. :^)
I honestly don't know what problem these people have with Mr. Alito. Good grief, they act as if he were the Antichirst or something. But for such folks, to say such a thing would be to admit an unsupportable, untenable analogy.... So I just think such folks are seriously confused.
Thank you so much for writing, puroresu, and for your very kind words.
You Dogmatic Galileoist. Galileolism is just a religion for atheists who want to deny God, and the Truth of His Scriptures. Galileolism is just a theory; but the God given truth of geocentrism is also a theory with scientific evidence.
The fact that Dogmatic Galileolists control the teaching of Astronomy and refuse to let geocentrism be presented as an alternative hows that they are AFRAID that students will be convinced by THE TRUTH, and that school children will reject their atheistic materialistic secularist indoctrination and instead accept the Bible's truth.
Hitler and Stalin were both ardent Galileolists; the materialist doctrine that allowed them to deny Man's Dignity as God's special creation.
The good old "Chinese Water Torture," which the followers of Saul Alinsky have well mastered after several decades of practice in the fields of subversive polemics and propaganda, among other, "direct-action" techniques sure to either fascinate or terrify the incorrigibly stupid.
Well then, darby, it would seem that it's time for people to start paying attention to such "achievements," for a change.
It seems to me that, in the long run, the "they" who do "get it" wish most of all for the rest of us to simply agree to undergo mass lobotomy. That would simplify their task enormously. But since they haven't quite figured out how to persuade us to do that yet -- their willful full-time collaborators in the MSM notwithstanding -- they figure they're gonna kill us in the end, by means of a daily saturation of pure, unadulterated, mean-spirited, slander-mongering, conspiracy-minded, hateful, despicable, jealous, deceitful, and ultimately irrational h*rs*sh*t.
After a while, a thinking person might even want to "off himself," after prolonged exposure to this unrelenting miasma of unintelligible and irrational cr*p.
Well, I guess it's time for bed, because I'm running off at the mouth, which probably means I'm just plain tired.
So good night for now, darby! And thank you so much for writing!
I continue to pray for a more modest effort being enough, but I must confess that I have more than once stated that the concept of citizen, governed by his consent and at his sufferance, has become so foreign to so many Americans, that no restoration of the concept will be possible, short of a Second Revolution.
The RCC officially adopted heliocentrism in 1822. (link to catholiceducation.org).
Luther's (and other early Protestants') condemnation of Heliocentrism is well known - discussed here
Materialists do not seem to relate well though to metaphorical language.
