WhewAustralopithicus felt the need to share this:
Talking Italian
A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They seat themselves, and
engage in animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them
ignores their conversation at first, but her attention is
galvanized
when she hears one of the men say the following:
''Emma come first. I come. Dennis come and Dennis come again. I
come
again. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee
twice. Then I come once-a-more.''
''You foul-mouthed swine,'' retorted the lady indignantly. ''In
this
country we don't talk about our sex lives in public.''
''Hey, coola down lady,'' said the man. ''Imma just tella my friend
howa to spella Mississippi.''
That was stupid.
It really was, but I'm trying to get a conversation other than CHESS
going on here.
Alright, how about a nice discussion about what this says:
T01GRyB5b3Ugc3Vjay4=
Does it mean something?
~~~~~~~
abducdlfn?
~~~~~~~
dufmnx? svfmnx!
Nice gibberish. At least what I wrote can be translated into actual
English words, if one recognizes the encoding scheme. What the hell is
that ***** you're spewing -- TardSpeak?
Who's the retard? Mine is easy to figure out.
Fortunately for science, this atheistic attempt to cast doubt on the
Law of Causality fails. Why? Because it confuses causality and
predictability. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle does not
prove that the movement of electrons is uncaused; it only describes
our inability to predict their location and speed at any given time.
The mere fact that we can't predict something doesn't mean that
something has no cause. In fact, quantum theorists acknowledge
that we might not be able to predict the simultaneous speed and
location of electrons because our very attempts at observing them
are the cause of their unpredictable movements! Like a beekeeper
putting his head in a beehive, we must stir them up in order to
observe them. Hence, the disturbance may be a case of the
scientist looking at his own eyelashes in the microscope.
In the end, no atheistic theory adequately refutes either premise
of the Cosmological Argument. The universe had a beginning
and therefore it needs a cause.
Geisler, N. L., & Turek, F. (2004).
I don't have enough faith to be an atheist (87).

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one
fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why
I dismiss yours."

Talking Italian
A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They seat themselves, and
engage in animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them
ignores their conversation at first, but her attention is
galvanized
when she hears one of the men say the following:
''Emma come first. I come. Dennis come and Dennis come again. I
come
again. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee
twice. Then I come once-a-more.''
''You foul-mouthed swine,'' retorted the lady indignantly. ''In
this
country we don't talk about our sex lives in public.''
''Hey, coola down lady,'' said the man. ''Imma just tella my friend
howa to spella Mississippi.''
That was stupid.
It really was, but I'm trying to get a conversation other than CHESS
going on here.
Alright, how about a nice discussion about what this says:

Not True!
The Religion of Science
So why don't all scientists just accept this conclusion instead of attempting to avoid the facts and their implications with wild
and implausible explanations? Jastrow's comments are again insightful (remember, Jastrow is an agnostic). Jastrow observes,
Theologians generally are delighted with the proof that the Universe had a beginning, but astronomers are curiously upset. Their
reactions provide an interesting demonstration of the response of the scientific mind-supposedly a very objective mind-when evidence
uncovered by science itself leads to a conflict with the articles of faith in our profession. It turns out that the scientist
behaves the way the rest of us do when our beliefs are in conflict with the evidence. We become irritated, we pretend the conflict
does not exist, or we paper it over with meaningless phrases.?31?
The phrases we have seen used by Atkins and Asimov to explain the beginning of the universe-"mathematical points" and "positive and
negative energy" respectively-certainly seem meaningless to us. Indeed, they explain nothing.
Regarding Einstein's "irritating" feelings about General Relativity and the expanding universe, Jastrow writes: "This is curiously
emotional language for a discussion of some mathematical formulas. I suppose that the idea of a beginning in time annoyed Einstein
because of its theological implications."?32?
Everyone knows that theists have theological beliefs. But what's often overlooked is that atheistic and pantheistic scientists also
have theological beliefs. As noted above, Jastrow calls some of these beliefs "the articles of faith in our profession," and he
asserts that some of these beliefs comprise the "religion in science." He writes:
There is a kind of religion in science . every effect must have its cause; there is no First Cause.. This religious faith of the
scientist is violated by the discovery that the world had a beginning under conditions in which the known laws of physics are not
valid, and as a product of forces or circumstances we cannot discover. When that happens, the scientist has lost control. If he
really examined the implications, he would be traumatized. As usual when faced with trauma, the mind reacts by ignoring the
implications-in science this is known as "refusing to speculate"-or trivializing the origin of the world by calling it the Big Bang,
as if the Universe were a firecracker.?33?
Traumatized or not, scientists must come to grips with the implications of the Big Bang evidence. They may not like the evidence or
its implications, but that won't change the facts. Since the evidence shows that time, space, and matter were created at the Big
Bang, the most probable scientific conclusion is that the universe was caused by something outside of time, space, and matter (i.e.,
an Eternal Cause). When scientists stop short of that conclusion by papering it over with "meaningless phrases" or by "refusing to
speculate," it seems that they are simply refusing to accept the facts and the most reasonable conclusions that come from them. This
is a matter of the will, not the mind. The evidence is objective; it's the disbelieving scientists who are not.
