I keep saying all you have to do is create a billion online virtual youz and then set them to say a million prayers every day to God. I mean…he seems to ignore most people’s prayers all the time but with 15 figures of prayers coming in every day…he ought to notice that one right?

Failed? Not even close.

Dysfunctional? Yeah I’d say of the top 25 western democratic countries it’s the most dysfunctional.

The thing about a failed state is that you don’t have millions of people trying to move there and you have a LOT of people trying to get out of there (if it is permitted). Not like, “hey if Trump wins I’ll move to Canada)…[Read more]

The buried UFO actually contains all the missing pages of the bible that help us make any logical sense of it.

Are you serious Michael? You read that shit and you stand by it? This is some of the worst biblical appologetics I’ve read. If you dry up the tributaries of a river the river won’t flow. He then very deceptively goes from “dry up the streams” to “some of the streams”. Which was a total fabrication by the guy. That is pure intellectual dishonesty.…[Read more]

A pretty good rundown of how dismal the bible was at prophesying the future here.

We are entering week 8 of strict lockdown conditions in Spain. Two days ago started a “one hour of exercise” during narrow windows of time. Police have heavily fined people for minor infractions. Day one of exercise…the streets were crowded and people weren’t really respecting social distancing that much. It was clear friends met up and went for…[Read more]

Jesus was likely none of the three. The most the evidence points to is some guy named Jesus was crucified around this time. Zero evidence can apply any of the qualities of Jesus as mentioned in the numerous conflicting versions of his story…with the scantiest non-biblical evidence of his existence.

It would be like researching 17th century…[Read more]

That reminds me of the south park three-parter “imagination land” where in the end Kyle gives a very convincing speech that some fictional characters are more real and have a greater impact on our lives than even hundreds of people we know (like aquaintainces). The consequences of this is losing a terrible bet to Cartman after an adventure into…[Read more]

I don’t know unseen. Do video game characters “exist”?

Would an A.I. quality video game character be said to “exist”?

In either case, how would you as the video game programmer manipulating the code to make the character believe they exist in some more meaningful way be any different than an evil genius?

I don’t know Unseen. Descartes uses the “evil demon” which can be fairly easily replaced by “computer simulations”.

Yes, Descartes could have said, “I think therefore I live”.

Live is not the same as exist, in most contexts. Most especially in this context.

No Michael. Hictchens does not summarize the “atheist perspective”. That is a meaningless term. There is NO atheist perspective. Atheists represent billions of people around the world, many of whom have never heard of Hitchens or his arguments. If you must generalize (which you shouldn’t) then you should be referring to “New Atheists” and…[Read more]

And the ontological proof only demonstrates that your “thought” must emanate from something that exists in some form. It’s not anything remarkable really. It’s a virtual tautology. It says nothing about non-thinking objects that exist (nor objects that can think but temporarily do not). The only thing I think the ontological proof is useful for is…[Read more]

However things that are not baryonic  can do so an move and accelerate at fantastic rates as always observed of UFO’s.

Whahhhhhhhhhh?

How do those diagrams you gave explain that?

Michael it’s really hard to figure out exactly how you are answering Unseen’s question:

How can an infinitely branching system of universes be possible under determinism?

I gather that Unseen is looking for the underlying mechanism of how multiple universes branch out.
