mkmyers45: @First Bolded: Energy is indeed isolated from matter because it manifests in massless medium as just energy usually after collision of Matter and Anti-Matter. I just read up on this. Yes, pure energy can be obtained from the collision of matter and anti-matter, but not in isolation from either. In fact, this "pure" energy retains the mass of the annihilating entities which the bolded is wrong about. That's another way of saying that the energy released is the same as the matter destroyed. @Second Bolded: How? Perhaps I read you wrong, but were you not suggesting by ex nihilo that everything proceeded out of nothing? |

Ihedinobi:Im sorry but you are wrong..Massless Photons are released..other resultants include Gamma ray [also massless] etc so i dont know where you got your assertions..The Matter is just transformed to Energy e.g The Sun consumes about 600 million tons of hydrogen per second. (That's 6 x 10^8 tons.) For comparison, the mass of the Earth is about 1.35 x 10^21 tons. |

For comparison, the mass of the Earth is about 1.35 x 10^21 tons. . . . consider electron - positron annihilation, in which the rest mass of individual particles is destroyed, but the inertia equivalent of the system of the two particles (its invariant mass) remains (since all energy is associated with mass), and this inertia and invariant mass is carried off by photons which individually are massless, but as a system retain their mass. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy |

@Cyrexx We will come back to the merits of the different theories on the origins of the universe. cyrexx: Ok He is Sovereign Omnisciet creator who wishes to create mankind and djinns for his purpose and pleasure In other words, it was just a whim on his part. Ok. he is the most beneficient most merciful one who sustains everything by his omnibenevolent lovingkindness and omnipotent power Omnibenevolent lovingkindness. What is that, please? allah knows what is best and his knowledge is beyond the ability of mortals to grasp. He is sovereign and he knows all thing. In the end he shall destroy all evil. In other words, you don't know. he is demanding that people should believe him and worship no other god but him, he is not begotten and he begat no one. In the fulness of time he will destroy all evil and all those who worship other gods beside him. Right now he is pleading with you to stop your idolatry and dont join yourself to the evil he shall soon destroy all together. In other words, he has done and is doing nothing about it. We're just to wait till it suits his whims to clear off the evil in his creation. |

Ihedinobi:Its Just copy and paste so im not suprised..The massless resultants is my concern...The Electro-Magnetic Rays including photon are indeed the energy i refer to not the other resultant... |

jayriginal: Some people wont shake of their dogma no matter how hard you try. Its amazing that you are not ashamed of the repeated fact that all you ever have to say is that you don't know, and that nobody knows. Fair enough, but I ask you: if that is the case, then why the heck bother posting on this forum or reading anything anybody posts. . . . .since you don't know and nobody knows? ? ? ? ? ? ? You are wasting your time, and everyone else's, with your repeated posts which simply declare that you don't know and nobdy knows. . . . . you bring NOTHING to the table and I have always told people who are trying to make decisions that any decision is better than no decision. As such, I would learn more from any person who proposes ANY idea - - - no matter how right or wrong the idea is, than from someone like you who is incapable of EVER proposing ANY concept whatsoever. Please stop posting on this board. . . .cos we are bored with your buzz. . . . . that you don't know. Thanks! |

jayriginal: Space has amazing properties, many of which are just beginning to be understood. The first property that Einstein discovered is that it is possible for more space to come into existence. Then one version of Einstein's gravity theory, the version that contains a cosmological constant, makes a second prediction: "empty space" can possess its own energy. Because this energy is a property of space itself, it would not be diluted as space expands. As more space comes into existence, more of this energy-of-space would appear. As a result, this form of energy would cause the Universe to expand faster and faster. Unfortunately, no one understands why the cosmological constant should even be there, much less why it would have exactly the right value to cause the observed acceleration of the Universe. My friend, after you were shown up with your horrible contradictions [which showed exactly why you are always frightened of answering questions!] - having made a horrible mess of the first question you attempted to answer - [first saying that the universe is expanding into already existing space, and then contradicting that by claiming that the universe is expanding into nothing observable - and then when ratted out, producing a hash of copy and paste extractions contradicting everything] - - - - - - - > ALL of this lamentably shows your incapacity for independent thought, which is why you only offer to me copy and paste extractions from discussions completely irrelevant to the questions being discussed! I mean, just look at the ridiculous nonsense contained in the bold above: "empty space" having properties, etc. And then do you think this illiteracy is obviated by name-dropping Einstein? Think for yourself. The above quote shows firmly that true to my conviction, you sir, are absolutely incapable of independent thought. Worse, you do not recognize the pith of any discussion. And the above quote shows that you don't even know what is being discussed here. OLODO! |
Re: The Pink Unicorn Argument Against Religion by jayriginal: 4:52pm On Oct 03, 2012 |
Deep Sight: I'll continue to call out quacks and charlatans like yourself. Thank you very much. You can have your opinions, but not your own facts. Deep Sight: Its not my fault you cannot see the obvious. I made no hash of anything. If you cannot read, that is not my fault. If anything, you are the one who is woefully ignorant of what is discussed. The most basic of issues evade your grasp. Critical thinking = 0. As the old saying goes, "the empty barrel makes the loudest noise". |
Re: The Pink Unicorn Argument Against Religion by DeepSight(m): 6:03pm On Oct 03, 2012 |
jayriginal: Lol. In short, as always, you have no answer and nothing to say. It honestly beats me why you bother to post. You said, that the universe is expanding into already existent space: and this gave away the discussion to my position. When you realized that, you then said that the universe is not expanding into anything observable - after posting a load of contradictory extracts. To turn about and deny same amounts to lying: and as poor as you are at debating, I am shocked that you would resort to outright lies. I had thought you a decent person. |
Re: The Pink Unicorn Argument Against Religion by jayriginal: 8:00pm On Oct 07, 2012 |
Deep Sight, this is a new intellectual low for even you. I cannot be blamed for your poor comprehension. In your defense, perhaps you have multiple personality disorder. I wonder which of you I am talking to this time around. There is nothing I posted that is of my experience or knowledge or work. What is sad is that despite your emptiness (being a consequence of your mouth/fingers working overtime while your brain is on holiday), you resort to shameful tactics. Here is what I said, reproduced fully. jayriginal: I have given you an answer before. Im quite certain of it. So, where have I lied and what have I denied ? Do you or do you not see the rider that it is not my personal experience ? It is amusing that you wish to jump on what you consider contradictions without seeing what is really obvious. The fact is, there are people who are trained and equipped to research and investigate these issues. With all the resources at their disposal, there are issues that they cannot quite agree on. How then is anyone expected to take you, a layman with elementary science, your Kings College Encyclopedias and the amateur arguments you make seriously when you assert that which they cannot ? That is what should be apparent to a keen mind. It is in fact one of the basic reasons why I say I do not need science to hold my position. Let me break my post down for you since it is now apparent that you are as smart as a grinding stone. 1. I have no personal knowledge of these things, I can only tell you what the experts say 2. Space is not expanding into anything observable (in fact see point 3 for clarification) 3. Space is not expanding in the way you would expand your house 4. Rather, galaxies are moving away from each other into space that is already there. Like the lightweight you are, you stumble over basic comprehension. Lets look at your embarrassing post. Deep Sight: Thanks boss. You hold tenaciously to the line, "into space is already there". How dull can you be to ignore the points that I mentioned to wit : That space is not expanding into anything observable, That space is not expanding in the way you would expand your house That rather, galaxies are moving away from each other Why should the struck out part make you stumble ? Cant you see that it is qualified ? Cant you see that your assertions are as remarkably idiotic as the following statement "The earth orbits into space that is already there, therefore the big b@ng didnt create space and evidently such space was already there for the expansion to occur into.". Once again, remarkably idiotic ! So please good Sir, tell me, where did I lie and what did I deny ? As for being a "decent" human being, I couldnt care less what you think about me. However, lets jog your memory a bit and in the process, compare personalities. On the Darwin's day thread, you continually "distorted" my position, continually said things I didnt say, and you constructed strawmen, the likes of which would make the most accomplished sophist stand in awe. I gave you several chances by asking you to quote me and you never did. Despite that, you continued your dishonest behaviour yet never once did I call you a liar. As a matter of fact, you even admitted that people have been accusing you of "misconstruing" their position. Deep Sight: How about you admitting another "distortion" Deep Sight: Deep Sight: my gracious reply ? (instead of calling you a liar or gloating that I caught you in an "error" ) jayriginal: eerily similar to this thread, Deep Sight: my response, jayriginal: Notably, you never did simply because you couldnt. You are an amateur, a quack, a charlatan, a humbug, a baby philosopher who can cram but cannot comprehend. You are a lightweight and I pity you severely. I pity you not because of the depths you wallow in, but because it appears you can never rise out of them. I am drawn to the following statement of yours Deep Sight: How you can make this statement and yet fail to see the implication shouldnt surprise me but it does as I am generally reluctant to think that low of anybody; even you. You see "space that was already there" and you happily jump on it because you think it supports your notion of eternal space. This is after I had on another thread posted for your benefit a write up explaining this concept.
You do not think of anything except how everything you come across fits into your dogma. It would seem that you are assuming that space has a boundary which is why you foolishly seize upon the "space already there" without the least understanding. This is even after it has been explained to you that space IS NOT EXPANDING IN THE WAY YOU WOULD EXPAND YOUR HOUSE. You huff and puff and are totally devoid of grey matter. It hurts me to post this of a person of whom I once wrote jayriginal: but you should thank your stars that my internet has been down for about two days. Ive severely toned down this post. Your last post calcifies you for what you truly are yet you call someone else a liar. Deep Sight: They say nothingness doesn't exist. I say it probably does. Indeed the truly perfect vacuum is most likely in your skull. |

Re: The Pink Unicorn Argument Against Religion by DeepSight(m): 6:27pm On Nov 30, 2012 |
jayriginal: Deep Sight, this is a new intellectual low for even you. I cannot be blamed for your poor comprehension. Lol at perfect vacuum. I no fit shout. I maintain that you did lie on the question: for your first response to my questioning was to admit that as I stated, the universe is expanding into already existing space. Haven seen that that conceded the debate, you now seek to qualify or withdraw it. That is disingenuous, period. As to the matter of manner of expansion, I already answered it in my X Y Z galaxies analogy to Martian. Digging up your personal hurts from old threads will not address the logic in this one, thanks. |
Re: The Pink Unicorn Argument Against Religion by DeepSight(m): 6:38pm On Nov 30, 2012 |
And here is the analogy in question- Deep Sight: Thus Hawkin seeking to educate anyone about the sort of expansion of the universe is moot. It does NOT detract from the point in the least. You ran, my friend, to an old thread in which I failed to recall my exact words (between "the best" or "one of the best" or something as trifling as that ) and admitted same openly: that is nothing and no sign of dishonesty. What would be dishonest would be for you to deny that you clearly conceded to my position in your first answer, by saying that the universe is expanding into space. Aside from that, I pointed out the clear contradictions you made in your references. Even your amended statement is still contradictory. You cannot first say that the universe is expanding into existing space and then now cry that it is expanding into nothing observable. If this is the case, then how did you observe in the first place that it is expanding into already existing space? ? ? Just admit you've lost the plot completely on this one. No need to be emotional. |
Re: The Pink Unicorn Argument Against Religion by Nobody: 3:15am On Dec 01, 2012 |
Deep Sight: And here is the analogy in question- Deepsight, I tire for your arguments. There is no logical argument for a god, be it a deist god or a personal god. All these your criticisms of the limit to modern understanding of cosmology is not proof of God. It all boils down to "If you cant explain X, therefore X proves god" Nonsense |

Re: The Pink Unicorn Argument Against Religion by MrAnony1(m): 9:04pm On Dec 02, 2012 |
wiegraf:Yes. Do you? |
Re: The Pink Unicorn Argument Against Religion by wiegraf: 9:08pm On Dec 02, 2012 |
Mr_Anony:Yes. You clearly don't. But we'd have to determine a definition for 'logic' |
Re: The Pink Unicorn Argument Against Religion by Nobody: 9:15pm On Dec 02, 2012 |
Mr_Anony: Nonsense! Anony, you dont use logic! Explain how it is logical that one can say that morality comes from God? So, if someone is born to an atheist family in Nagoya, Japan, and the person doesnt leave his hometown which leaves him as an atheist all hist life, does that mean that the person has no morality or worse his morality is an illusion? If morality from god is objective, god has to be objective but then, god is a subjective experience. Bring any two christians that have claimed to witness god and they will bring two different descriptions of god. |
Re: The Pink Unicorn Argument Against Religion by MrAnony1(m): 9:20pm On Dec 02, 2012 |
wiegraf:Let us hear your definition then. |
Re: The Pink Unicorn Argument Against Religion by MrAnony1(m): 9:36pm On Dec 02, 2012 |
Logicboy03:Lol, you start off with a genetic fallacy and end with a strawman. (Don't worry, we'll tackle this argument proper in the other thread when I finish with my presentation. I don't want to get into long-drawn arguments at this time) |
Re: The Pink Unicorn Argument Against Religion by Nobody: 9:41pm On Dec 02, 2012 |
Mr_Anony: Anonyism at play You win £5,000,000 if you can point out the straw man or genetic fallacy in my copmment. You just throw things out of your a--hole |
