Regarding religion: there is no other thing which is able to change you so profoundly (in good ways or in bad ways) like religion: Neither your wife, nor your children, really noth…

The "infinity" metaphor is the best description coming to mind in such cases...

We should suppose? This is not scientific. Please don't fly too high, keep your feet on the ground. We are not talking about theoretic fantasy, here we talk about practical, real w…

You say "evolution" as it were a fact -- but it isn't, it's a theory, I hope you know this. Everything that exists must have its cause, and in history it never happened once that s…

I can only speak for myself, and this is the way I see it (but this is already Faith): "God" is defined this way: the only one not caused by anything else. So, if God is the only o…

And you know what "logic" means? You can't act against "logic" without hurting yourself. If you are a hacker (like me), you never ever can act against logic, otherwise your program…

Sorry to correct you, but you're actually kind of shy (that is, not really determined): You simply confirm that if 3 persons of human species are exposed to the same reality (yes, …

I only explained the basic principles of logic...

If you say: "I cannot know whether a god exists or not.", you already say that you are not cause of yourself (otherwise you would know ), and, consequently, there must be another c…

Yes, you are always free to misunderstand. The interesting thing is: some do, some do not. (We have physics, chemistry, and others, exactly to distinguish different levels...)

Agnostics are shy atheists. If the answer is either yes or no, and you say "maybe", you say "no", substantially. Why? Because every "no" is simply a refuted "yes" (philosophically …

I have a (simple) question to all atheists: If you didn't create yourself (and you didn't , otherwise you would know/remember/etc.), and (consequently) some other one did , how do …

Let me explicitly repeat your statement: You say that the human brain would (in theory) be able to create something more intelligent than itself? (Are you aware of the irony?)

BTW: I really love the "0 karma" feature from sites like this one: It helps very, very much not to waste too much time here, given that I never learned anything substantial on plac…

That's not the point. The human brain is quite "infinitely" interconnected, and this is something which not only would be really, really hard to solve with a physical machine: it's…

Intelligence can't be measured in huge numbers, and every single human brain is infinitely more intelligent than any possible computer. It's not me saying this, but science.

I said "physical" to exclude the misunderstanding.

...and is it finally coming close to .00001 % of a human brain? If someone is excited about that, what about the human brain itself? Just a simple information: The human brain is t…

Another really important feature is missing: For people like me, who every now and then make completely unpopular comments (with some negative consequences, at least mathematically…

I seem to recognize the pattern: Everybody seems to encourage (even in a contradictory way) the proper opinion, and refutes quite absolutely the proper change of it... Poor humanit…

Thanks, personally I never take any citation literally, both parts (agreeing and opposing) could have, even subconsciously, changed some parts. As for the book I mentioned: it didn…

OK, in the first chapter of the book (page 19), there is this paragraph (I'm not good in translating to English, but I'll try): "Einstein said that the natural laws are revealing s…

...and sorry for this annotation: The US certainly suffers 'superficiality' more than any other country. If you want to find really scientific stuff about religion, you often need …

Do you know Italian? If yes, it's a book I'd recommend to everybody : Author: Antonio Socci (a really good and meticulous italian journalist) Name: "Indagine su Gesù" It's a plain …
