BTW, nothing you have presented means that naturalism is dead. It just means that you have written a gian non-sequitur and are trying to take an argument from personal ignorance and incredulity and project it onto the whole of science.

Naturalism is Dead - Why Are Believers Stuck in the Past?
by Perry insigmund freud, karl marx and charles darwin are considered the pillars of modern western thought.
they differed in many ways but had one thing in commonthey were reductionists who claimed that all higher realms of existence could be explained by lower natural causes.
they were the pillars of naturalism.. but their ideas were tested during the twentieth century and found wanting.

Darwin is the last man standing, but his theory is rapidly eroding as modern biological science reveals amazing complexity and design that cannot possibly be explained by Darwin’s proposed mechanism of random mutations and natural selection.
And yet, science, medicine and biology based on the fact of evolution works.
Do you have an alternative theory that explains the past and present and can predict the future? No? So, you have nothing.

Excellent analogy, Terry. I use that in the future. Plagirize with pride, we call it.

the point is not that you will get hungry again, the point is that you are an accident, and will one day cease to exist completely, and what ever decisions you took - preparing or not preparing a meal - was just a waste of time
So? What is the point of worrying about that? You didn't exist for billions of years and it didn't bother you, why should not existing for billions more?

First, he has to prove a spirit world exists, then we can discuss. He has all of his work ahead of him...

Anyone Else Feeling Forced to Go to the Memorial?
by PaintedToeNail ini refuse to go to any meetings, assemblies, conventions, special talks or the like...however, i get coerced into going to the memorial every year.
because it keeps the peace at home with hubby and also makes my parents, who live elsewhere, have hope that i will come to my senses and become an active witness again.
there is no chance in hell of that happening, but it prevents the ties to my family from being severed.

I don’t know if anyone is familiar with Satanism or Satanic metal but the whole idea of the upside down cross or drinking blood is to mock God.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_of_St._Peter
The origin of the symbol comes from the Catholic tradition that Simon Peter was crucified upside down, as told by Origen of Alexandria. The tradition first appears in the "Martyrdom of Peter", a fragmented text found in, but possibly predating, the apocryphal Acts of Peter, which was written no later than 200 A.D. It is believed that Peter requested this form of crucifixion as he felt he was unworthy to be crucified in the same manner that Jesus died. As such, some Catholics use this cross as a symbol of humility and unworthiness in comparison to Jesus.

First indisputable link between aluminum and alzheimer's
by EndofMysteries inhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/02/140212093300.htm.
elevated brain aluminium, early onset alzheimer's disease in an individual occupationally exposed to aluminiumdate:february 12, 2014 source:keele university summary:research has shown for the first time that an individual who was exposed to aluminum at work and died of alzheimers disease had high levels of aluminum in the brain.
while aluminum is a known neurotoxin and occupational exposure to aluminum has been implicated in neurological disease, including alzheimers disease, this finding is believed to be the first record of a direct link between alzheimers disease and elevated brain aluminum following occupational exposure to the metal.

Since there is no epidemic of aluminium poisoning going on, I would say the question answers itself.

Connections: remarkable sounds of the past, still seen, reproducible and tsunamis
by prologos injust venting:.
there are a string of news items that come together in my mind to help me visualize what happened by way of connections.. the news of the inflationary stage of the early universe triggering gravity waves, that appear in our sensors like a pattern against the background.. the sale of the stradivarius viola still making unsurpassed glorious sounds after 300 years and going for 45 kk.
inflation?.

vent away prologos because what you saying is interesting and you have provided scientific underpinning for some of your musings.
Show one accurate underpinning he has made regarding standing waves, please.
Thinking of the Viola, it's rich sound emitted as complex pressure waves that had as origin standing waves on the strings, soundboards.
That is absolute nonesense. You clearly don't know what a standing wave it and keep trying to use it to promote your woo.
of course I do not know what I am talking about, and I do not have to.
Correct on both counts. Of course, you realize that since I have a vested interest in the scientific education of the future of the world, I will also point that out and the nonsense when I see it.
At least you finally admitted you have no idea what you are saying.
whenever you have a defined entity, vibrations are bound to interfere in the interior. talking of gravity, and by necessity of its fluctuations, gravity is always strongest at the perimeter, falling to zero in the center and off to zero at infinity outside, [if there is one, the universe is reputed to have none].
does an high energy rapidly expanding [inflationary] entity have internal standing wave problems? try thinking about the early work on nuclear devices, their task consisted in part to control oscillation in the triggering implosions, now
As you said previously, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
