  by Terry in

  i got out my calculator and looked up mortality statistics.

  i wanted to get a "feel" for what is normal ina non-pandemic world in order to compare with how things are now.once had had a "feeling" for it i began to notice that media has a dramatic (perhaps overblown) tendency toterrify the public by framing death rates, predictions, and political discord hysterically.

  mortality in a normal world.

  But Terry the contagious effects of the virus that killed many people rapidly in countries like Italy and China to name few, were those deaths just a statistical lie ?

  A Growing Problem for Materialists

  the famous double-slit experiment proves that light travels both in individual particles called photons and also as a mathematical probability wave.

  matter itself exhibits this particle-wave duality which allows objects to exist in two different places at the same time, depending on whether of not you are looking (testing) at it.

  scientists have recently been able to get molecules as large as 2000 atoms to exhibit this duality!.

  And that's where intellectual honesty comes into play as in we dont know at this time but we can only assume right now.

  A question to creationists in their position of an intelligent creator of the universe........

  If there comes a time when a huge asteroid comes directly to are planet creating a colossal impact and knowingly this is going kill just about every living thing on this planet, similar to how one did 40 million years ago ,

  Will creationists still say this universe was created by a intelligent mindful creator ?

  a month ago it might have been questionable.

  not now.

  after bader’s death and biden’s inability, this shouldn’t be close.

  Somehow I dont think we need to worry about that RTN. if Trump loses in November his political career will probably be over for him and he'll just return to his business practice.

  Sea breeze is pulling an old creationist trick in positing that the universe had to come from a intelligent mindful creator based upon the universe's awe inspiring grandeur.

  Even if Trump does lose this election, I believe he's woken up the politics in Washington in good way, on matters of illegal immigration, support and backing up corporate businesses in the country, putting pressure on US based companies to not leave and go abroad

  Some of his foreign affairs policies were pretty good too, his dealing with Iran for example.

  He also had a few discretionary flops as well, like improving the heath care system to name just one.

  I think true materialists must deny its existence or at least hand wave it away.

  So that would the philosophy of illogical assumption ?

  Where does information come from if not from a mind??

  True that could be said of spiritualists as well though.

  Atheists compose their ideologies based upon evidence of matter., spiritualists compose their ideologies upon hearsay, imagination and human ignorance.

  We all have a choice to where we want to set are aspirations.

  I like atheism myself because it leaves the responsibility of improving the human experience toward are selves, rather to wait on a god of ancient mythological hearsay to improve the human experience.

  The fact that humanity hasn't envisioned any new gods for very long time tells a story in itself doesn't it ?

  You know you're really dim-witted when? (You actually think a defeated President can successfully REFUSE to step down)

  when you're easily convinced about a total impossibility.. such as what?.

  such as a defeated president actually being able to refuse.

  to step down from office.

  Just to make it clear , I doubt very much if Trump will overtly refuse to accept the outcome of the election and do much about it , he may bark something out like it was rigged , it was a fraud...ya da ya da...... he'll go but unwillingly.

  It will certainly be an interesting election , one that is bound to spark up a lot of attention.

  Arguing over theoretical concepts without backing of some evidence leads to ???
