All sub-atomic particles are described through probability waves - which describe the likelyhood that they will be in any given position. In many circumstances, that probability drops to virtually zero outside of a small region - however according to QM each probability wave extends across all...

First of all, let me link Eric Schechter's wonderful page about the Axiom of Choice. You have probably heard about this axiom if you are interested in recreational mathematics and writers such as Martin Gardner or Ian Stewart.[1] This page has a very good exposition for laymen, with several...

The Devil - mind control or a way to discribe the fact that " evil " exists? I've been thinkin' a lot lately about this one so much that I'm at a bit of a crossroads, so to get a range of other opinions.... ...guess where I come!

Just thought i'd share this wonderful news with y'all: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/5134244.stm

Look at this website on Christian logic: http://www.christianlogic.com/forums/index.html Here's their rules: This discussion forum is designed primarily for evangelical Christians and the board as a whole subscribes to Aristotle’s formalization of logic. If you are not an evangelical...

If scientists can prove the evolution is a process that takes place then you can challenge creationists with the question, "why would God interfere when there is already a perfectly good process of creation at his disposal?" They say he gives humans freewill, then perhaps for the same reason...

After my month or so of private thinking, I came up with this idea, although it is probably not new in the least. My title is tongue-in-cheek, but still accurate. Here we go. Premises: ------------ 1) We will take believer's statements about their religion at face value when the statement is...

This is inspired by the "How about a God that is fair?" thread. Rather than hijack that thread I start a new one. Any intelligent theist cosmology has to accommodate the fact of unfairness in the world, or more formally "the problem of evil". The cosmic sugar daddy or Santa Claus for grownups...

The title of a recent lecture at our university, with the subtitle, "Atheism refuted." Delivered by a retired Oxford philosophy professor named Richard Swineburne. I didn't get to attend the lecture (we were busy locking up a bike thief) but the student paper did a nice write-up. "I'm going...

This is not the kind of tourist destination one would like to travel to just on the northern border of Iran. He is even more oppressive then Saddam. Just read about him here and here It is a real eye opener. He even has a great golden statue of himself the turns slowly in the direction of...

Hello everyone. Here are some more thoughts of my own; though I recognise that I'm not the first to discuss such issues. But I am confident that I will bring some originality to this forum. So please feel free to engage in intelligent debate... I equate 'our' existence with Heidegger's...
