I'm comparing randomness with free will. They both don't exist but you can call behavior to be random or a choice to be made with free will if you observe it that way. Is my English that bad? You often just don't react to what I say.

I know that article and it's not evidence. When dogs (or other carnivorous animals) notice some improvement because of eating grass or plants then they might eat it often if they like the taste or only when they feel sick, when they don't like the taste. My dog doesn't like the taste so he only eats it when he feels sick. I tried other green vegetables/plants but he doesn't like the taste...even when I mix it in meat. When a dog only gets BARF, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_feeding his poo can be very hard. (it's called concrete poo) This happens when your dog gets to much bones or if his digestive system is not 'strong' enough. You can make the poo become less hard and increase in mass by giving vegetable/plants porridge. The more fiber/cellulose in the plants/vegetables, the softer and bigger the poo becomes. This is a pubmed about the Effects of fiber on digestibility and transit time in dogs. "Fecal weight and water increased linearly with added fiber" "Intestinal transit time decreased from a mean of 37.4 to 28.7 hours with added fiber. " https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6286909

I think artists find inspiration in science. They use skills developed by scientists. There is art created, using advanced technology...high tech art.
-
But then what do you think about scientists that find God in science? Hugh Ross is an astrophysicist and a Christian apologetic... Cellulose makes the poo more smooth and increases the mass, I can't imagine that many carnivore species did not evolve the capability to learn this. Eating fur has +/-the same effect and intestines can work laxative. I used to give BARF/NRF to my dog. I noticed likewise behavior of my dog. I travelled a lot with my dog and I remember , while I stayed in a motel, my dog had some problem with his bowels and wanted to go out. I walked with my dog in the hope he would shit. While walking, he often ate a bit of grass when we walked over a piece of grass. Normally he never eats grass while he's on the leash.

A model is in a sense always imperfect. Science is a never ending search for absolute truth. A correct model shows truth concerning its reality. I do make a distinction between the reality used in a model and absolute/ultimate reality. It depends how science will evolve. In order for this 'schism' to disappear, a quantum gravity model needs to be proven and it needs to find its place in the world of physics. I don't know if we can ever prove such a model. Hirosi Ooguri wrote a paper in which he explains how space time emerges from quantum entanglement. http://www.ipmu.jp/en/node/2174

Micro and macro concern imo an 'artificial' way to describe reality. The causal relationship you can ascribe to micro an macro is imo subjective.
-
Maybe they do that to shit better Yes it does. Science is the main reason we are no longer monkeys (most of us). We use scientific knowledge to build houses, make technology... Our science is so developed that it no longer looks like it's about survival of the fittest. Science is an evolutionary trait and evolution works via natural selection/survival of the fittest...how can you then think science is not a survival tool? Science will probably allow us one day to live on other planets or deal with incoming asteroids... It will or will not allow us to survive. It's not a fact for you, but it is for them. What about all people that believe in evolution and in a god?

True randomness doesn't exist, but you can use the word 'random' to describe certain behavior. It's like Free Will. It does not exist but you can call a choice to be free will because a choice seems random and is made without direct hindrance from external sources. No. In order to know if behavior is totally random within a deterministic system, you need to know what causes the behavior. Those inequalities describe random behavior it does not describes the system that causes the seemingly random behavior. Many people think there are no local causes because we can't understand for there to be local causes. A number generator can be described to be random but in order to know that it's not random you need to know the mechanism that gives the seemingly random numbers. We evolved to deal with Newtonian dynamics, the world we observe/understand. When experiments/math shows something isn't there then our logic dictates it's not there. Those local causes are a product of our knowledge...and that's what the theorem disproves. Thinking we can disprove a hidden reality is like saying we disprove non existing theories. Our Newtonian brain is not linked to idea's of causality. Idea's concerning causality are often personal beliefs...many people believe in real Free Will or that a divine force is the cause for the universe. Admitting you can never know if a model is reality or not does not mean you can't make valid assumptions about our idea of reality. Those models show our idea of reality but that's not necessary absolute reality. The observable universe seems to be made by fundamental particles/quantum effects. If fundamental particles/quantum effects are not caused, then the (observable)universe is not caused by anything? I believe in a hidden reality because it explains a lot! Science doesn't deal with absolute reality or absolute truth. Science is a never ending search towards absolute truth.

Literally translated in Dutch, Jezus means 'Yoursister'...so Jezus was definitely a woman.

Why do you think it's a myth? Our science is nothing more then a way to remain the fittest and to survive.

My dog eats grass when he has a problem with shitting. Dogs don't have bacteria to digest cellulose so when they eat grass, it enlargens the poo and makes things to go more smooth...he self medicates (medical science) I think it has a lot to do with your beliefs. There are people that think the Earth being only 6000 years is a scientific fact.

Isn't science knowledge which is empirically proven?
-
When an animal educates its offspring, it teaches science. Our science is so huge that we have to organize it. Our science can grow so fast because we share/communicate very well.
-
I think many species deal with science. Our science is just more/better developed/evolved.

Antisemitism is fear, hatred and intolerance against Jews. But what causes the fear and hatred? The cause can't cause the cause.
-
I have a red wine with honey and herbs...delicious! Wasn't anti-Jewish sentiment caused by Christianity? Christians had traditionally placed blame on Jewish leaders for the crucifixion of Jesus.

If I don't listen to you, I'll never find peace? Are you drunk? "Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your fathers desires. If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me?" =>Jesus says they are sons of the devil because they don't love him and don't believe him....that's exactly what makes Jews different from Christians...they don't believe that Jesus comes from God. Hitler was educated like a Roman Catholic
-
Closer to which truth? And it's not an interpretation. The bible literally says Jews are sons of Satan. And how do you know which filter they used? "Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your fathers desires. If I am telling the truth, why dont you believe me?" =>Jesus says they are sons of the devil because they don't love him and don't believe him....that's exactly what makes Jews different from Christians...they don't believe that Jesus comes from God. "There is this idea that Jesus wasn't talking to all Jews, but specific individuals. Obviously, the apostles were all Jews, and even his mother. He wasn't calling them children of Satan." =>That's a misinterpretation. Jesus, the apostles and his mama obviously believed in Jesus and were no Jews...they were the first Christians. No, You (and most people on this forum apparently) think that the correlation between the data (statistics concerning Muslims in prison and gen pop.) does not account for new valid data. I'm full with 'anecdotes'...those statistics explain the anecdotes. I like to report news. Do you know other extremists that do those things (raping/groping)? Muslim terrorism is not linked to specific countries, it happens nearly everywhere.
-
I still don't understand why those statistics and all those facts (things that actually happened) don't prove anything in your opinion. My sister was in a hospital a couple days ago. She shared a room with a very pretty Moroccan girl. She moved to Belgium because it's nicer to live here but she doesn't work, she detest working. On 19 December 2016, during which a truck was driven into the Christmas market next to the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church at Breitscheidplatz in Berlin, left 12 people dead and 56 others injured. One of the victims was the truck's original driver, Łukasz Urban, who was found shot dead in the passenger seat. A person, suspected to be the perpetrator, was killed four days later during a shootout with police near Milan in Italy. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) claimed responsibility for the attack, saying the attacker answered its calls to target the citizens of states that are fighting against it.

I wish I had more tact.

If you find contentment trough scripture then that's good for you but don't assume that that makes your interpretation to be correct. When people read the bible, they don't read interpretations. So?
-
Don't you understand how wrong you are? Interpreting verses to pretend they are moral or misunderstood is something that religious people do...and so do you apparently. You have zero evidence that an interpretation is correct. That's another problem with scripture-based religion. The idea that scripture has a divine source is an unscientific belief and the idea that an interpretation is the correct one is also an unscientific belief. How do you know what to believe, ignore or interpret?

You become a Muslim by saying these words: "La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasoolu Allah" But one of the pillars of being Muslim is to believe that the Holy Quran is the literal word of God, revealed by Him. In order to be Muslim, you need to acknowledge the Quran teaches absolute morality. You can of course interpret Quran verses like you want.(just like the Bible) If people are taught those verses and the absolute morality then that (for many, not for all of them) forms their personality. "The Qur'an is the means for discovering the will of God and for measuring the success of a life lived in accordance with it. As such, it shapes the individual and collective lives of Muslims in many ways. " "The Qur'an, which serves as the primary source of Islamic law, advanced the field of law beyond custom and oral tradition." "The Qur'an also functions as a basic source of Muslim education. Although a large majority of the world's Muslim population does not speak Arabic, in most Muslim societies young children learn the Arabic alphabet to read the Qur'an in its original language. The book also provides the first reading lessons for these young students. " "The scripture provides guidelines for social, political, and economic activities. Its teachings on family law guide behavior in marriage, divorce, and inheritance" http://www.oxfordislamicstudies.com/article/opr/t243/e275 You should watch this: Yes but that's only for the public sector for degree level education and it's only 296,832 students. "The gender disparity in education is much lower in urban places vis-à-vis rural areas." => this trend is very hopeful I think. Those statistics are just a few of them. Many countries that show likewise statistics are not on that list. Do you deny that Islam and criminality are strongly linked? You know about the punishment for adultery, apostasy an being raped? Islam (the religion of peace )teaches criminality and ignorance...

The Quran talks degenerating about women and most Muslims are indoctrinated with 'Quran-wisdom'. The Quran says that salt and fresh water don't mix. If Muslims see that it does mix, then they still don't believe it mixes because the Quran says so. They (not all of them of course) believe a 1400year old book over science. There is evidence for this...have a look on YouTube...I remember a video of Richard Dawkins. In the islam countries it's mostly because of the Quran. I never said only the Quran can cause the maltreatment of women. The Quran is not the only cause, there are other factors that play a role. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_education_in_Pakistan#Statistics

You give zero evidence...like usual. Don't expect any more replies from me.
