Science talking about god?
#1.
It's not a "Flight of fancy." You made that up! It's
an injection of your emotions. Didn't you know that?
Did it really escape you that "Flight of fancy" was
coming from YOU, your FEELINGS and not the theory?
Science is not about emotion. Emotion in science is a weakness.
Which condemns you further.
There is no doubt here: You reacted emotionally. You
injected your feelings. "Flight of fancy" is nothing
more, nothing less than your emotions on parade.
Wow, you really think you can manipulate me. What an out of touch
loser you are.
To manipulate someone successfully you have to think like they do,
then interject ideas that make them think it was their idea from the
start.
Castigation doesn't work. Presumably the idea there is to put someone
on the defensive and cause them to question their own motives. If
that's going to work, you'd have to be much more humble, since your
self-aggrandizing postings only make you vulnerable to criticism and
ridicule yourself. No one takes you seriously. (no one with half a
brain anyway)

It's a legitimate proposition. Many subscribe to it.
Some claim it can be tested and falsified -- very much
the OPPOSITE of the "abiogenesis" which you do believe
in.
I doubt "many" subscribe to the idea that we are someone's computer
simulation.
I agree. And so what? Who cares? The number that
subscribe to an idea does not alter the validity
of the idea.
It doesn't determine viability of an idea, but it does or may predict
probability.
Don't use the fact that many people are religious in an argument -
half the time being non-religious was punishable by death or
ostracization from society throughout history.
We are only now recovering from this - yet some people still insist
religion has a historical factual basis.
Post by JTEM...personally I have one whopping huge problem
with the theory that almost nobody voices, but my
complaint does not alter the fact that legitimate
men of science do consider it valid, some even
testable.
Testable that we are a computer simulation? Do tell, how could that
be tested?
Post by JTEMPost by defaultAnyone that buys into that, is playing way too many
computer games and needs to get a real life.
Wrong.
You've arrived at the right conclusion by way of the
wrong thinking.

It is science. Again, nothing more than your FEELINGS
are evident here. A scientists makes a valid proposition
and because of your emotional discomfort you have to
marginalize him like this...
VALID PROPOSITION?
Yes.
Post by defaultNo more valid than the flying spaghetti monster
and that's another god produced only to show how ridiculous it is to
accept things without proof.
Again, this is nothing more than your feelings on
display. Not a word of it is true. They're true to
your emotions, yes, but not the theory or the
circumstances surrounding it...
Post by defaultPost by JTEMOutside the collective, to an open minded person who
not only is aware of Google but is curious enough to
sometimes use it, how do you think you're coming
across?
You just placed your FEELINGS on parade you, you just
unleashed your emotions thinking that you had formed
an "Argument."
No. That's just a obtrusive attempt to manipulate me.
It's already too easy to manipulate you emotional
types. Well, at least as far as provoking your
emotions goes.
You just proved my point that your only payoff is to think you can
manipulate others. That is part of your narcissism, and that is never
a laudable trait IMO.
Post by JTEM...the hard part is to get you to stop acting
out, stop reacting and start thinking.
JTEM, the world does not revolve around you (or me) you need to start
thinking logically and leave your emotions where they are most useful:
enjoying life.
Without emotion I couldn't appreciate life and that would be
depressing, but when it comes to engineering design, emotion is a
liability most of the time (only aids in driving me to do a good job)
