GrimmOne Posted September 20, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I love Neill deGrasse Tyson, and I totally get what hes saying, although If I'm not mistaken Albert Einstein got to the point in science where he saw the simplicity and beauty of the universe and figured it had to be created by a God. Nice videos man. Ill have to watch more of them later thanks for posting them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davros of Skaro Posted September 20, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Thanks for the interest guys and enjoy the vids. Here's one more I remembered later on that kinda fits the theme. The Science of Lying Here's one more not related just for fun. Assume Btw there's so much debate over Einstein's Theistic beliefs.I just consider him as an Agnostic that was in awe of the Universe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

back to earth Posted February 14, 2015 #12 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I chose two at random; one seemed good, I would come back and watch it all properly (as I too am interested in the psychological aspects of this) The 2nd was pretty bad and pathetic ... that Randi dude I think his name is; the match box trick : ... oh come on now ! Ooooo ... these big knob scientists contact me and say 'hand over the prize, we found a magic guy' ... then he goes on about the match box and sneers at how the scientists examined the match box; with lasers and micrometers and ( bs bs - whatever it was ) and then magic guy does this. and Randi does the most stupid trick. Whats the point ? Scientists are really stupid dolts that cant even observe a simple parlor trick and they get all confused about using their high tech equipment ... or something ? Oh Randi ! Randi !

+and-then Posted February 15, 2015 #17 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The Heaven's Gate believers take the Championship. I was thinking of those who actually were burned alive or fed to animals for the Romans. Disrespecting that kind of courage as insanity - especially when it does you no real harm should cause you to think if your mind is still open enough not to fear doing so. Not believing is everyone's right and I support it fully. Ridiculing those who do is simply petty and base. You can be so proud, eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellapenella Posted February 16, 2015 #21 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Hello Davros that song was on my mind it has nothing to do with you or your beliefs here but it has everything to do with people. And being that this is about people and their beliefs I had something on my mind but couldn't find a thread to share it at. It's totally about irrationality and people.

Davros of Skaro Posted February 16, 2015 Author #22 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I was thinking of those who actually were burned alive or fed to animals for the Romans. Disrespecting that kind of courage as insanity - especially when it does you no real harm should cause you to think if your mind is still open enough not to fear doing so. Not believing is everyone's right and I support it fully. Ridiculing those who do is simply petty and base. You can be so proud, eh? In time frame 1:08-1:13 in this lecture. This video "Bible Prophecies For DUMMIES". In post #8 "Critical Thinking, the Confirmation Bias, and You! (A classic from the early Web)" Puts big gaping holes in your belief. Not to mention that belief alone does not make things true and this alone is seen as a virtue in most Religions.This serves a purpose you will not look into just like the Videos you will not look at.

regeneratia Posted February 17, 2015 #25 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Move over Superstition. HOw about intuition? There is science in that too, but it is ignored, discredited. Meanwhile, the science community is literally riddled with corruption and purchased results, the publication of false data and all other ways science can be skewed. Since science is such a grand "unfinished" buusiness by it's very nature, one certainly cannot say that science has all the answers. Those who believe only in science have a belief that is indeed irrational. Just breathed in helium with my son. It may effect my voice but I don't think it effects my thinking. It certainly effects my typing LOL. About irrationality. I think it is time to cast off the negative connotation of the irrational. Irrational isn't a bad thing. I think that some "guided"or seeded connotation of the irrational may be the bad thing. As this world changes is such an incredibly rapid manner, we are going to have to rethink a lot of stuff so the truth can come out. By this, I mean, we are going to have to rethink the laws of thermodynamics because some of them have proved to be very flexible laws or some inaccurate. I don't want the world to stay the same. I want the world to improve. I don't want science to stay the same. I want beloved science to improve.
