Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 7 years, 9 months agoA related post from a few years ago:
http://www.thinkatheist.com/profiles/blogs/cosmological-natural-selection-cnsMy long story short, assume AI ultimately takes over the universe, and devises a way to make a big bang repeat in a way that increases the chances of intelligent life evolving, perhaps even sooner than it did in this universe.

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 7 years, 9 months agoWhat’s the deal with the ” Finely Tuned Universe ” theory ? Seems a lot of big cheeses in cosmology are talking about it?

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 7 years, 9 months agoSimon – I was at a lecture by Christof Koch yesterday on the future of consciousness. I will post more on his ideas later but here is a video you might like.

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 7 years, 9 months agoHere’s an interesting Facebook post from just now by Steve Taylor, “transpersonal psychologist” (and psychology professor at Manchester University). You may or may not find him slightly out there: I prefer the term “speculative”.
I’ve been doing a lot of reading about evolution over the last few days (for an article I’m writing) and have learned…

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 7 years, 9 months agoMine is “The Making of the Fittest – DNA and the ultimate forensic record of evolution” by Sean B Carroll. “By delving deep into the DNA record, Carroll reveals not just how the fittest survive but also how they are made.”

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 7 years, 10 months agoFlavivirus implications are more “frightening” to theists than to atheists; we accept natural selection and its consequences.
Think MMO, means, motives, opportunities. The current crop of theists in America’s government seem determined to reduce the means and opportunities to cope with the consequences.

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 7 years, 10 months agoScience requires both deduction and induction.
One without the other — such as Albert Einstein’s thought experiments, or mathematics only, or theoretical physics — can and has resulted in flawed science and vast waste of taxpayers’ money.

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 7 years, 10 months agoI simply adore this video and it really is all about how science works and would also inspire anyone who is not afraid to think.

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 7 years, 10 months agoI plan for this thread provide illustrations of how science works. I ask that any additional posts to this thread be made brief; to the point wrt the process(es) of observation, discovery, hypotheses, formulation of theory, experimentation, publication, or your views on the process itself.
The “simple to advanced” aspect to these posts gives us…[Read more]

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 7 years, 11 months agoTom, I don’t even see hardball here. Not even a swing, when you’re asked a specific question wrt your view on evidence (e.g. blue-shift).

_Robert_ replied to the topic Quantum Mechanics – Pilot Wave proposals in the forum
Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 7 years, 11 months agoI think Tom does make a valid point that cosmology has become very dependent on mathematical models and we do have to remember that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I have seen ample empirical evidence in my own working fields of GPS navigation and weather RADAR that supports relativistic and doppler effects but after reading…[Read more]

You want fair?
