he never bothered acting out his "thought experiment.".
i can watch this over and over and remain thoroughly transfixed by the translation of the horse's forward movement to the hand to the ball.
(see galileo's battle for the heavens).
he never bothered acting out his "thought experiment."
I'm not sure about what exactly in his life he didn't act out "through experiment". He was quite a scientist and went to a University to study medicine, so at some point I imagine that he may have done some experimenting with some of his theories.
Here's information about his scientific methods.

Hello. I'm glad that you are doing well. Please remember we're still here if you need to post again. keep taking care of yourself.
i get it, not a fan of yahweh the desert god.
but what about jesus?
anything wrong with his teachings like the sermon on the mount and the example he set.
I get it, not a fan of Yahweh the desert God. But what about Jesus? Anything wrong with his teachings like the sermon on the mount and the example he set. You have to admit if everyone lived by his teachings the world would be a better place. I find it hard to believe he was a figment of someone's overactive imagination. All intelligent comments welcome !
I have stated before that I do not consider myself neither a believer, nor a non-believer. I don't have a believe or non-believe about the god thing; I have an attitude about it.
Regarding Jesus, he was in fact a real person. He existed. His teachings at the time may have been excellent (provided that the documentation of his existence is accurate).
Jesus walking on water, being the son of god, turning water into wine, bringing people back from death, that's all nonsense to me, and none of those things have ever been proven that happened. Most importantly to me is that if I'm going to believe in Jesus as some kind of deity, I don't need to see any miracles, I don't need any of that. What I need is seeing how he lived, how much was he putting his money where his mouth is, how much of what he preached he actually showed that he believed in himself. To me, that's what a role model does, that's what any kind of leader should do.
Then there's the practicality side of it. Today people attribute so much to that Jesus thing that there's no way to collectively worship a god in accordance. BTW, to me that says that as a god, he sucks. Look at all what happens in the world around hi, or basing bad actions on his teachings. Saying that i believe in Jesus places people in certain category, and not one that will result in anything better in any way, shape or form.
Then there's his teachings versus the way we live today. Any Wikipedia page is 1,000 times more informative, practical and useful today than any of his teachings.
Finally, there's a reason why I have an attitude, which is, why on Earth do I need Jesus, or Jehovah, or a Bible, or a temple, or an organization, or anything else outside of myself to tell me that I have to be a loving, kind person? I can do that on my own. In fact, I have better morals than many of those Jesus freaks I see around. You go to a jail, look at how many believers are there. That can give you a clue that imposing morals on people doesn't work.
whenever a hollywood actress has been propositioned or touched up, we know all about it.. but a story - mostly suppressed by the mainstream media - is emerging of far worse abuse of human females.. telford appears to have a grooming/sex abuse scandal of its own to rival the ones in rochdale, oxford and other uk towns.. it appears the msm, police and politicians and other authorities are very slow in learning their lesson from rochdale.. unbelievable that this case hasn't made the guardian or the bbc.. i guess the sisterhood thinks hollywood women are much more important than telford girls.

BTW, here is a little more information about Christian Terrorist Groups around the world, those are the ones documented.
It was heart braking hearing the stories of people who have been left to die in the woods after getting assaulted and raped by people from some Christian paramilitary group in MD, USA.
Those are worse to prosecute, since people don't even knowledge that they exist, leave alone attempting at bringing them to justice.
are you sinning?
do we want jesus death to be in vain.
we must not forget, if you never sin jesus died for nothin.
Are you sinning?
Yes, absolutely.
So lets get out today and do our part, sins sin sin!!!!!
Way ahead of you (trust me!). Good morning to you too.
my cousin's girlfriend moved from another state and is now living in our home.
they said she lived in a bad situation, but i don't believe them.
my cousin lies.
What should I do?
She is not JW and they are allowed to sleep together. I don't understand why my mom, grandmother and aunt are allowing this to happen.
What should I do?
Personally I don't feel comfortable with telling people what to do. I don't know her or you, and the information you provide is rather minimal.
That said, I do feel comfortable with suggesting to follow universal precautions, and basic family rules (pay rent, get a job, no criminal activity, no disrespecting anything or anyone).
Good luck.
the next time i see the jdubs standing or sitting by their carts sipping their coffee lattes or updating their facebook pages, i am going to approach them with the following thought process acting as an interested person.. do jw's believe the end is near?.
do you consider your preaching work to be urgent?.
why do you just let people walk by if their very lives are at stake?
I am going to approach them with the following thought process acting as an interested person.
Have fun. I, on the other hand, remember how it felt when people did that to me. It never changed anything when I was a JW. That means that out of respect for other people's faith, I wouldn't bother them.
i don’t care about it unless someone runs on a record of being a model family man or woman.. does it bother you if a president or princess or top government official “cheats “??
?.
Do You Care If A World Leader Had An Affair Before Taking Office?
No. Neither do I care if they have them during or after. That goes for EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING IN THE PLANET.
i just read the "atheists book of bible stories" by fred titanich, and i rather enjoyed it.
alot indeed.
do you have any suggestions for books that touches the same subject?
You will find this problem with every scriptures because they are not meant for literal reading just like currencies are not meant to be viewed as just a piece of paper. Talking snake, talking donkey ... are the clues that they are not literal. What is being conveyed matters not the means through which it is conveyed. Here is a sample how I benefit from scriptures:
In the OT, Joseph was sold by his own brothers out of jealousy which backfired on them later—the very thing they wanted to not happen (fulfillment of Joseph’s dream) happened. This teaches you would reap what you sowed / thought. Good story—whether true or false.
In the NT, Jesus reaped what he did not sow. In spite of the good things he did for them, they returned evil to him. This too is good story whether true or false because it teaches us a practical lesson: You do your duty without having expectation of others because people act according to their liking.
Both the principles are needed for our lives:
One teaches where we should have expectation (expect results for everything I do), and the
other teaches where we should not have expectation (don’t have expectation about others)
What a load of crap.

After all, Christians won't blow up people & buildings or behead anyone who makes a cartoon of Jesus.
Ah, the beautiful blanket of denial. Dream on.
