SO I propose we rename the Discovery network of channels 'Shortbus Media.' Is that in poor taste?
As a consequence of an art film released a few years back, I associate the word "shortbus" with using hardcore pornography to make a philosophical point.

I'd probably watch more Discovery Channel and TLC if that were the case.

Never argue with a Zealot of either science or religion. Neither side will admit when wrong and everyone loses.

I can't find any reason to hate Amish. I mean really what did the Amish do to you ?
You do know that Amish communities have some of the highest rates of unreported child and adult sexual abuse in the country, right? Alongside Hassidic Jewish communities and, really, any other closely-tied, xenophobic cultural group.

What bothers you more, the abuse or the purported lack of reporting to the state? And you can't say "both".
[ETA: The point of this was to say that you make no claims that there is a higher incidence of abuse among this people, so that statement is misleading, and is probably unable to be substantiated anyway.]

And who cares if people are xenophobic? Is it really such a big deal, especially among people who isolate themselves from the rest of society as a general rule anyway? Would you hate the Eskimos if you found out everything you said about the Amish was true about Eskimos too?

Personally I believe that the physical world as we know it is a product of the conscious mind, as suggested by the Observer Effect re the double slit experiment.

This explains why you're so prone to personal delusions. Reality must be right because your conscious mind believes it's right. The irony in your feeling this way is that the human mind was never meant to comprehend existence on the quantum level.
U mad bro? Why don't you do some research on it yourself. Ever heard of Carl Jung?

http://www.spiritscienceandmetaphysics.com/the-illusion-of-matter-does-consciousness-create-reality/

Open your mind. Basing the world on what you have evidence for makes you nothing more than a modern-day flat-earther.


Sounds like circular logic to me personally. The premise is that reality is entirely subjective yes? That means any manner of evidence or support would be subjective.

You get nowhere really, really fast that way.

As for Hitler, the Catholic Church was NOT in favor of Hitler, although keep in mind that Italy was on Germany's side. And if you want to argue that church prepares people for subjugation, I would argue that statism does it far worse.
The church as a whole? Debatable.

But there is little doubt that Pius XII was.

Wiki on two different books about Pius XII:

Hitler's Pope

The Myth of Hitler's Pope: How Pope Pius XII Rescued Jews from the Nazis

It's not circular. Subjective doesn't mean wrong. Saying evidence is subjective that the natural world is subjective doesn't negate the premise. If true, the evidence would show the world to be not objective, and therefore subjective. It's not circular, in fact it is quite linear.

You need some cream for that vaginitis? I can prescribe you a mild topical steroid. Btw, then you'd be a racist, and that also makes you xenophobic since you fear people who don't agree with you or look like you.

Aside from all of this, you have severe anger issues. Maybe you should seek help.

I think anti-theism is silly. To hear someone say the entire universe was compressed into a speck smaller than an atom and say "Oh, that's cool!", then turn around and mock someone who believes an old guy built a big boat with a lot of animals on it....
Those words show your lack of comprehension.

Not was compressed into, expanded from.

Before the decoupling there was nothing but light. No atoms, no subatomic particles, just photons.

Sounds a lot like "Fiat Lux" to me.

There was a documentary about the truth behind "Noah's Ark", that revealed that there was a great flood, however, it was during the time of Gilgamesh, which was even written by him, as it was witnessed.

There was only "2 of every animal within a certain distance", so they could have room for themselves and not suffer the effects of the flood before they could round up 2 of every animal on the planet.

So in short, Noah's Ark didn't happen, as it was clearly an adaptation from on of Gilgamesh's earlier stories. That is supposedly the evidence being referred to, though mistakenly believed to be evidence of Noah's Ark.

I didn't say it was wrong, I said it was unfalsifiable and unverifiable.

Circular logic in debate means that the premise is reinforced by itself. God is real > Because the Bible Says so > Because the Bible is the word of God.

In this case: Reality is Subjective > Because the evidence is subjective > Because Consciousness is Subjective.

You see what I mean now? There's just nothing to be gained in this line of dialog. It's perhaps a jumping off point for the future, and I'm not discounting its academic credence but it just doesn't do anything.

Semantics FTL. It was more of a description of their state than a commentary on past actions. Besides, something put them there, right?

No, but I am well aware of evangelistic atheists' eagerness to accuse others of using circular logic. It's not that I am saying it must be subjective because it is subjective. The evidence is no more subjective than any other evidence. From our current vantage point it is entirely objective. The objective evidence only becomes subjective if it is proven to be true. That would make the pro argument linear, but the con argument circular. I clearly took the pro side.

Wait, are we even talking about the same thing anymore? I'm not accusing you of using any circular logic, I'm accusing the article/theory of using circular logic.

I don't know anymore. I haven't read that article in awhile, so I won't comment on that, but the premise that it is based upon exists among many scientists. The double slit experiments are notoriously simple yet complex in the varied explanations, talk of parallel universes, etc.

I was just speaking towards the Observer theory, and it's possible the article just failed to bring up the right points.

I get the basic idea which it's coming from though, it's also used a lot in the theory behind quantum computing. Until observed, a particle exists simultaneously in all it's forms. These are usually described as oscillations going up, down or side to side. So the observation effectively "Creates" the reality of what the particle is doing.
