No. Just that we both accept that there are things we can't understand, and demanding others explain those things for you whilst admitting you can't for them is just showing how faith is narcissism of thought alone.

There is no standard by which to infer the first thing a mind or will. Not prove, not even physically evidence. No standard in human logic.

Wow, Dad Dash sounds like an incredible app that would make life so much easier! We all know how hard it is to find the time to shop for hardware and auto parts, and it's even more difficult to learn new skills like tying a tie. With Dad Dash, you can get all of those tasks taken care of quickly & conveniently. It's a great idea!

Once again, nobody thinks the universe came from nothing. Every time you reassert that, you just witness theism is so senseless it cannot be defended logically. There is no logic in asserting an infinitely complex undesigned entity just was by itself, made by nothing, to explain how a less complex existence, the universe, came to be.

This is something I feel is accurate.

I have yet to find a reason to use the mouse when dealing with text in a windows based environment.

If you know the keyboard shortcuts, it takes longer to reach over and grab the mouse thn it does to hit. Alt f x

What i mean is that religion does not mean no science. We believe in science, in the theory of evolution, in the big bang. We just believe that the universe was created by god, or that the thing that created the universe was itself created by god, and that everything can not come from nothingness. Being agnostic is believing that there may be a superior force and consciousness at work not that the monotheist religion are right.

Believing that the universe came from nothing is more crazy to me than believing there's someone else

In the infancy of mass communications, the Columbus and Magellan of broadcast journalism, William Paley and David Sarnoff, went down to Washington to cut a deal with Congress. Congress would allow the fledgling networks free use of taxpayer-owned airwaves in exchange for one public service. That public service would be one hour of air time set aside every night for informational broadcasting, or what we now call the evening news. Congress, unable to anticipate the enormous capacity television would have to deliver consumers to advertisers, failed to include in its deal the one requirement that would have changed our national discourse immeasurably for the better. Congress forgot to add that under no circumstances could there be paid advertising during informational broadcasting. They forgot to say that taxpayers will give you the airwaves for free and for 23 hours a day you should make a profit, but for one hour a night you work for us. And now those network newscasts, anchored through history by honest-to-God newsmen with names like Murrow and Reasoner and Huntley and Brinkley and Buckley and Cronkite and Rather and Russert-- Now they have to compete with the likes of me. A cable anchor who's in the exact same business as the producers of Jersey Shore.
