BirdMan1 replies on Jan 15, 2020:

@Word That one can not nail down a place for life to have begun is a red herring issue, is irrelevant, otherwise. Steve Meyer's quote is iffy, in my humble opinion. We get information from spectrographs of starlight. Is he going to say that stars are intelligent beings? If so, why are they burning themselves up, burning the hydrogen of which they are made, only to die in supernovas? Thus, information does NOT require an intelligent source. But, if one starts from there, one enters the world of theistic circular reasoning. the dog's typing is not information, it is random hits in the closed system of a typewriter! Just because the odds of that sequence occurring in the next quadrillion trials is minuscule, does not make it information; it does not convey a message. What theists call "evidence" is/are poor excuses for it. TT space, TT space, does not define a smart dog, it appears awesome, yes, because we would not at all expect it, and there it is. What if his dog kept that sequence going to 100,00 TT's? Would we assume the dog is smart, or having a massive seizure, for instance. But he's got an agenda, and will twist things around to his liking.

@WilliamFleming I have put his book on my reading list. I am now reading about Nietzsche, who would agree with Rovelli's title, as would many other philosophers, going back to Plato. His Loop Quantum Gravity Theory is, apparently, at the cutting edge of physics, competing with String Theory. the latter, after many years of work, has as yet remained incomplete, and untestable. I do not know about LQG, but it may be in that same category. I will read up on it. "Zany, amazing or wonderful occurrence," works for me, though I do not like the theistic connotation which "miracle" seems to usually carry with it. Nature is amazing, and awe inspiring, as in regard to the recent discovery of 10 previously unknown bird species in Indonesia.

Are you sure of the "arcane?" And you know that? For a fact? There is no "Why?" for the existence of the universe. Theists can proclaim the their god "created" it for whatever their god's reason, but that is a serious non-answer. Your man Carlo Rovelli, has a vise grip on truth? And, yes, we do know about gravity, it is the result of the curvature of space-time, as per Alfred E. His theory, and yes it is a theory, has not yet been falsified, over 100 years later. No evidence has been found to place it in the old dust bin, to this date. Evidence, not, "Oh, it's simply got to be this way," that brings us incrementally closer to whatever the processes of nature are. "Miraculous?" That is a word laden with MAGIC meaning, requiring a magician: the language we use can lead us far astray. There are no miracles, there is a random universe, that produced the chemistry, based on its physics, that led to organic life.

You really take liberties with the word "creationism." Just because elements combine to form, or "create" new elements, or molecules has nothing to do with what the bible's many, many authors were talking about, were even vaguely aware of. You are just doing a bad job of apologetics. Hidden meaning? Stories about how to live together as a community...maybe. Stories to help people deal with their existential anxiety? You bet. But, start with "Where did Cain's wife come from, in a created universe with only 4 people? Did he marry your imaginary friend?

Should creationism be taught in schools?

MichaelSpinler comments on Jan 7, 2020:

not in science class. if they want to teach myth, save it for mythology and religious classes. what i tell them is, when they put scientist teaching evolution at church , then they can bitch.

BirdMan1 replies on Jan 13, 2020:

Yes, in science class, as an example of how science is not done. Carl Sagan had a full chapter on this sort of thing in his "The Demon Haunted World, Science as A Candle in the Dark."

Should creationism be taught in schools?

Surfpirate comments on Jan 8, 2020:

I remember learning in the first lessons of Microbiology 101 that scientists used to believe in something called Spontaneous Generation and this theory was overturned when science came to understand the existence of microorganisms. I found it instructional that we could give up old theories as new ...

BirdMan1 replies on Jan 13, 2020:

Spontaneous Generation was debunked when cheesecloth was laid over the top of a jar of rotting meat, and the eggs that flies had previously been able to lay directly on the meat, were, instead, laid on the cheesecloth. This involved an hypothesis, (no S.G) and a way of testing it. I believe that this was a birthplace of modern, evidence based, science.

You can't just teach one religions origin story. if you are going to teach one fairy tale then you will need to teach them all. Creationism and any other form of unverifiable belief would also need to be taught in comparison, including those no longer practiced. This would take entirely too much ...

@CarolinaGirl60 II am retired, now, but my career was as a psychotherapist, and Mr. Empty Orange is not just one's run of the mill narcissist, but he perfectly fits the diagnosis, unofficial as it may be, of a Malignant Narcissist. That concept was put together by the famous psychoanalyst, Eric Fromm, who was inspired, sadly, by his WWII, experiences, and saw Hitler as embodying the type.

Some percentage of the hate violence we have seen since Trump entered the presidential race in '15, or'16, can be laid at his feet, for having encouraged it.
