I think, what they meant was pseudo-theory rather than pseudoscience: Consciousness theory slammed as ‘pseudoscience’ — sparking uproar (nature.com)

Baffling that this kind of drivel isn't in the Trash thread. Why engage with this nonsense?

Where else would the end be nigh ? 😀

Just bc you stated it doesn’t magically render it true. You appear to be operating from some fundamentally flawed starting principles. Nice little tautology. You get that from a fortune cookie? Believe whatever dumb thing you want, but despite you evangelizing religious adherence is dying and largely being replaced by nationalism around the globe. If saying “godidiit” is a good and satisfying enough answer for you and causes you to stop asking questions and sleep better at night, then have at it. Nobody can stop you, but when you post such silly childishness, people are going to point and laugh and dismiss you like a deluded fool with a sandwich board saying the end is nigh on a street corner.

Lagos matches your Kansas July daily high pretty well 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Plus our humidity is higher. And yet I've grown habituated to it and can manage mainly without aircon albeit at the cost of an occasional outbreak of prickly heat (solution = cold showers). My pool hall (Tipsy Bar, Bodore Road, Ajah) has no aircon, but a two foot gap between the walls and the ceiling stop it from becoming too stifling. I can't help thinking that the OP is asking the wrong question. It assumes as a given that the OP has a right to enoy optimal comfort in a location where the ambient conditions are beyond his comfort zone. Relax that assumption and ask why the majority of the world's population (who manage to survive within the range of their own cimate variations without undue resource consumption) should bear the brunt of the OP's disproportionate demands for fossil fuels and fresh water. Should he not consider relocating to a location more in tune with his own particular physical requirements? It's easy to pick on the southern end of California because it is such an ecological disaster zone for so many reasons, but one must question whether any of these most hostile high population density areas (eg northern end of the Persian Gulf that can reach 500C near saturated in August-September) are worth maintaining as areas of human settlement. Better to put survival of the most before optimal comfort of the privileged I think.

It isn’t necessarily a “need” or a “not need” issue. It’s what the signs, the parallels, what the evidence points to. You claim “the Bible isn’t telling a story of God”. Then what is the Bible expressing? I realize this is a science forum. Not only are many going to approach this subject with bias, some are going to approach it with sheer terror that the idea of a creator may actually be true. Especially the creator depicted in Abrahamic texts. The implications are unsettling for many. As they should be. It should say more about such individuals than the actual possibility of a creator being true. I did not refer to your statements as being silly. I referred to that particular example in my own statement as “silly”.

The point being this is beyond coincidence. At some point too many coincidences become a pattern, an arranged sequence. That is the circumstance here. Because that is incoherent nonsense lacking further contextual parallels. The arrival at the location, Stonecrest Lane, was the intended occurrence. Not simply the suggestion to examine the memory drive. You conveniently ignore the majority of the material presented. You are selecting only two or three details out of the many others listed. You lack additional contextual, specifically scriptural parallels. This is not all about me. I am simply part of the sequence relaying information. This is beyond science. For those unwilling to accept no amount of evidence would suffice. They would deny the truth with the truth right in front of them. These are the same individuals who succumb to the whims and demands of men, of tyrants, of petty corporations and their petty products. Many would rather honor the rule and command of man than the rule and command of God. Some can only laugh at the matter simply because the matter is so significant. The implications are beyond incredible. As it has been mentioned and pointed out Jesus’ feet, which are circled, further coincide with the theme of the images and the general idea expressed. The foot on the left is down while the foot on the right is up. Just like Jesus’ palms and just like the negative and positive number line dynamic. As stated directly above, some can only laugh at the matter simply because the matter is so significant. Creation created the creator. There is no creator without a creation. And it is existence all the way down. A coherent pattern with clearly referenced Biblical parallels, prophetic parallels, is.

The war on drugs has been a long and costly battle, with significant impacts on society. Some of the potential harms of the war on drugs include: Increased mass incarceration: The war on drugs has led to a sharp increase in the number of people incarcerated, particularly for nonviolent drug offenses. This has had a disproportionate impact on communities of color, which are more likely to be targeted by law enforcement for drug-related crimes. Violence: The war on drugs has also been linked to increased violence, both in the United States and abroad. The drug trade is often associated with violence, and the war on drugs has led to increased militarization of law enforcement, which has contributed to further violence. Public health harms: The war on drugs has also had a number of negative public health impacts. For example, the criminalization of drug use has made it more difficult for people who are addicted to drugs to seek treatment. Additionally, the war on drugs has disrupted traditional drug markets, which has led to the proliferation of more dangerous and addictive drugs. It is important to note that the war on drugs has also had some positive impacts, such as reducing the supply of illegal drugs and increasing awareness of the dangers of drug use. However, the potential harms of the war on drugs are significant and should be carefully considered. In conclusion, the war on drugs has had a complex and multifaceted impact on society. It is important to weigh the potential harms and benefits of the war on drugs when making decisions about drug policy.

The first living creature could not have come into being by random chance. It is impossible. A first living creature would have to have had at least 100,000 amino acids in a particular sequence. This is extremely generous. The smallest free-living thing has over 1,300,000 base pairs. I also have not included having over 500 million other atoms in it. The odds against a sequence of 100,000 amino acids (20 types, 39 counting handedness) coming to be by random chance is (10 to the 160,000 power) to 1. That could never have happened anywhere in the universe over the supposed 13.7 billion years of its existence. It actually is impossible because no concentration of that amount of amino acids would happen by random chance. There are other factors that make it impossible. It would be a miracle.Where would such an amount of amino acids even occur in nature to even make a first creature? They must be in very near proximity to where the first creature came to be. In water they would immediately diluted and chemical reactions would destroy it. And above ground or in space, it would be destroyed by the the sunlight. So the first creature is impossible. If such a great miracle did occur, the poor creature will not survive long at all. It is not protected from its environment. Chemical reactions will begin to destroy it within seconds. Which is just another problem. It would take too long to assemble itself. Destruction will happen faster than construction. The poor creature cannot feed itself. It will also not be able to repair itself. It will not be able to have any offspring. So it could never exist. So even if it did come into existence, it would die quickly and could not have offspring And that is just to get to the first living thing. There would have to at least 1 trillion other miracles to produce all the living creatures by evolution. That would be about 70 miracles for each of the supposed 13.7 billion years. That is impossible to have happened by random chance. Therefore, God created all things. A simple elegant proof. Assume no God. Show the contradictions. Therefore, God exists. The proof that the Bible is the true word of God is also easy. The atheists have been deceived into believing that the first creature could come into existence by random chance. Never has been observed. Simple analysis shows it is impossible. There is no record that it ever did. So, the evolutionist has the burden of proof.
