Because the practioners of "science" aren't doing it. The nature of things is metaphysics, not science. What does antigravity have to do with Yahweh?

Let me say again, the mind is a tricky thing, and that would apply particularly when someone is near death. Some people also believe they have been kidnapped by Aliens, believe in ghosts, even Bigfoot. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. We have no extraordinary evidence of Bigfoot, ghosts, Aliens or any magical deity that just happens to have been here for eternity. Delusions, illusions and brainwashing plays a big part in what people believe in and what they imagine. Your god and your supposed afterlife may give you a nice cozy warm inner feeling, but that is all it is. No we have no direct evidence for any quantum foam, but we have plenty of evidence for the BB and the universe evolving from a hot dense state, and plenty of evidence for your own scientific ignorance. Again your god of the gaps is just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metaphysics "The nature of things" is the way in which we figure out what kind of experiments can be performed to do important things like: invent antigravity by testing for it. You should ask: "what does Yahweh have to do with antigravity?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't listen to Sagan in the video I gave did you? As I illustrated earlier, the need for any magical deity has been pushed back to near oblivion. We at one time saw the need for such an impossible being, when we were ignorant of the sciences, and how the Sun and stars came to be, and how we evolved to what we are today. We saw such impractical nonsense in near everything around us before science came along....mountains, rivers, Sun, Moon etc Most of us have moved on now, with the evidence of science.

There is where I find atheism to be totally irrational. Why wouldn't you want a nice cozy warm inner feeling from a deity that ... was seen again... and now there is an anti-gravity paper. 5 minutes ago, swansont said: Not in my corner of R&D Sorry to hear that.

It sounds like you're trying to argue that engineering is unnecessary. Is that correct? Your argument makes absolutely no sense. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moontanman Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 2 hours ago, beecee said: The ancients saw the so called evidence of god all around them...in the Sun, the Moon, Mountains, rivers, etc etc. We know better these days and have shown evidence that these things are simply applications of gravitational collapses, supernovas, abiogenesis, and evolution, and we can take those evidence backed solutions back to 10- 43 seconds after the BB. So you see science has logically and reasonably pushed any need for any god explanation back to near oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I solved antigravity with metaphysics. I work in the high tech industry. It is always cheaper to solve problems in the design stage. So you make a product one time, not 10^10^147 times, like atheists do. The innefiency of the quantum foam falsified it. Nature would choose a more metaphysical way to design it before setting off the big bang. You'll have to accept the reality that nature is efficient and prompt. Least action. Least time.

Wulphstein Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) So atheism is falsified. It was crushed to death by two empirical facts. First, the universe is efficient. Think of the least action and least time principles. Therefore, quantum foam is falsified. Second, complex systems require engineering.

Is this because you think atheists believe in an inefficient universe? This universe is very efficient. That is a fact. Atheists try to justify their atheist argument with quantum foam and 10^10^142 failed attempts. That is the least efficient way to create our universe. Therefore, it's false.

That is the least efficient way to create our universe. Which ones? Which atheists? Atheism simply means not theist. You cannot tell what else a person thinks merely bc they lack a belief in god or gods. In much the same way, you don’t know what hobbies I enjoy if I merely tell you I don’t collect stamps. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and suggest you simply misunderstand atheists, because otherwise you’re just ignorant and arguing against strawman. Though, I suppose you can be a foolish ignorant person and have misguided notions of atheism. Your posting behavior doesn’t even come close to ruling this out.

Wulphstein Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 I made a lot of points, made a lit of statements. Nobody was able to falsify my statements or tell me fallacy it violated, other than strawman. But no understandable argument was made or attempted. So therefore, my statements are valid.
