Jesus Christ, in my opinion is the personality of God. I believe God felt the need to have a personality so he subdivided his multi dimensional attributes into himself and human form that actually had a personality.

the people at the air craft control tower need to agree on objective truth. If i think you are a bad person you can probably deal with that. If 10000 of your neighbors think you are a bad person, you might be in trouble. Life is extremely complex, stay away from the dark side. lol

You the man AJJ! A happier society is where depressed people own machetes and swords and non depressed people own assault rifles and hand guns. Makes me proud to be an American. Everyone needs to own a gun or a compound bow (with out a self releasing trigger). Some people use these devices for compound bows that help you release it easier. These devices aren't good for depressed people. Depressed people wouldn't mind getting shot anyway so they don't need to protect themselves from people with assault rifles.

y = mx + b
equation for a line (sometimes a curved line)

this isn't the best example but this is something i pulled off of the top of my head.

if you change anyone of the variables above 10 = mx + b and 20 = mx+b

or y = m(21) + b or y = m(22) + b

The line will drastically change. If your line is a line from a quadratic equation this is true even more so

Believe it or not you can draw a 3 dimensional object by using nothing more than equations for lines.
You can actually do this for higher and lower dimensions too.

Anyway changing one variable or coefficient in a line will often drastically change the line.

On a different not i would argue alot of problems in the world can be illustrated and solved using 1 dimensional, 2 dimensional and higher dimensional graphs. The problem you run into is some problems have to be solved quickly and without to much analyzing at that particular moment.

absolutely. When you add more variables to an equation you can drastically change the original shape that the equation formed. This is something every one should be required to learn in high school. Thanks for posting this.

I only read the first 3 paragraphs of the article because i have read other articles like it before. Perhaps i'll read the whole article later.

i have no problem with that. I would have to study what these scientists are getting at further.

thats fair. Atleast you actually read the article. I've read similar articles to this before. Thanks for the post.

thats fair. This assumes things like this matter in the first place. If there is consistent data between multiple sources then you can some information is valid and other information is not valid.

thats fair. this is different because scientists are starting to think its true.

you are right. Many of these other guys are just skipping around the question.

thats fair. But i should add, there are 100s of possibilities of how life could end in 10 years or 1 million years. Life on this planet could be argued to be by sheer chance. What is the probability of all this happening. According to the book "a brief history of time", if you roll a trillion sided die trying to roll the number 15, if you roll it 1 trillion times you will probably roll a 15.

Given these facts, the fact that life exists is matter of sheer chance with many chances. Are you with me so far?

Belief in God or gods is absolutely necessary to human survival whether or not you believe that or not.
More lives are created due to faith in a God or gods than that are destroyed by faith. You can accuse me of evangelizing all you want. I'll be just fine.

Don't be so simple.

I believe Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life and no one comes to God except through him.
This is just my philosophical belief. :)

thanks i'll look at it later. I think you would be surprised what modern A.I. is capable of. Do a search on google or bing for what "data mining" is. The amount of things that can be done with data mining is astronomical. Data gathered from data mining is used in artificial intelligence.

as time goes on and technology improves, new notions used in these new technologies are produced from combining old notions. Einsteins special and general relativity were impossible with out Newtonian physics for example.

i'll have to re look up what empirical means but that seems to make sense to me.

Remember, we usually need to verify our proofs via appealing to external facts, e.g. a calculator. — sime

A calculator is based off of human and actual logic. If humans can't come up with facts that are rational then neither can a calculator or computer.

At some point everyone needs to agree on basic facts. The issue quite often is some problems that need to be solved need to be solved quickly. Most problems if given the right amount of time can be solved with an optimal solution. A SWAT officer doesn't always do the optimal thing because he/she has to make quick decisions. A judge in a court case has alot more time and has a higher probability of making an optimal decision in a court case.

as another forum user on this forum pointed out, our instincts are somewhat based on subconsciess statistics that we pick up over the course of our lives.

if you understood how artificial intelligence and data mining worked you would not have said what you just said. Find a 10 page essay on data mining, statistical analysis, the job that a statician does and Artificial intelligence and you'll see what i mean by this.

lol. You'll find out you are wrong someday. Next time leave the emotion out of your argument you fool.
If you didn't think my argument had some validity you wouldn't have gotten so upset. Don't worry about me, i'll be just fine. :)

1 and 0 are hard to define without saying. "i am one person" or there are 0 apples at my kitchen table.

logic is entirely based on definitions and drawing 1 dimension, 2 dimensional, 3 dimensional, 4 dimensional and any higher dimensional relationships between 2 or more defiinitions.

The definition of 5 is (according to the dictionary) is 4 + 1. To know the definition of 5 you must know what the defintion of 4 is.

Does that help you understand?

its certainly possible i guess.

i agree it is an odd concept.

did you watch the youtube mentioned at the top of the OP?

ok

did you watch the video on youtube at the top of the OP?

I think you mean ‘what many people know and I‘ve just realised is ...”

Welcome to shattering of our own mirror :)

Why do you say that? Lets say 50% know this and 50% don't know. Its just a phrase i used, just focus on the OP.

You know what I’m going to say so I’ll let you deal it your own inner voice rather than get upset with my words. Good luck and happy hunting! — I like sushi

Go ahead and say what you wanted to say :)

in the book he argues humans work together due to "legal fictions" and fictions. If you have a local library i suggest you atleast read the first 4 chapters or watch one of his youtube videos.

if it is good to be a solipsist the why not be one? I believe God puts a tremendous amount of thought in everything he/she does. i believe he is is a he.. The book of Job says God built this universe with wizdom.

thats fair.

i was referring to the book Sapiens. I agree with just about everything you said. The book "Sapiens" does not.

In my opinion i do believe its possible for Jesus Christ to live 33 years without sinning.

On a different note we only see 3 years of Jesus Christ's life. I think the pharisees assumed Jesus Christ was crazy and they also didn't know about Jesus's first 30 years. Jesus prepared in the wilderness for 40 days of disciplinary action to prepare himself for future hardship and temptation. He also when at the passover said he wouldn't drink wine until he reached heaven. When on the cross he was offered a (gray area) vinegar sponge. Because he was tempted by this (gray area) he decided to give up his ghost. All this shows is that to do great things you must be disciplined in your past and even the God of the universe had a breaking point where he had to give up. Some forms of death pull others away from Jesus, not to say these people are going to hell.

interesting. I knew a guy working on a miniature blimp (as opposed to a full sized blimp) and one of the things he discovered is that when you shrink the blimp you have to change the blimps shape. He speculated the reason was atomic and sub atomic particles are a certain size so when you decrease the size of the blimp you have to change the shape also (to make the blimp still be effective).

A blimp is a helium filled cigar shaped aircraft.

I wonder if this concept would apply to giant humans or mini humans.

thats fair

Of course it is conjecture -- there were no eye witnesses and there are no fossils from back then. However, the theory does rest on more than blue-sky conjecture. — Bitter Crank

I doubt it.

As for the water thing that was verbally told to me. I don't have any evidence at this point and i may never have evidence for that.

Possibly: :"The greatest show on earth" by Richard Dawkins

Self-duplicating molecules doesn't require an outside agent or any "intent" to duplicate. — Bitter Crank

that would be hard to prove. The initial self replicating "creature" or cell is a mystery to scientists. Some say cells or single cells are what formed the water on the earth.

Alot of what scientists say about this original self replicating "creature" or cell is conjecture.

if self replication occurs (assuming no god like entity) and it stops then it stops for x amount of time into the future. How a scientist would prove replication can occur naturally is up in the air.

I don't know if it is possible to explain with words but can you explain the model referred in "There is an even more basic method of reproduction". Or describe that specific model if possible?

When you say nuclear, what do you mean by that?

My understanding of nuclear is that all cells consist of nuclear elements (most matter in addition to that).
