I know this is an old topic and there's probably not much point in replying to it anymore, but I thought I'd provide my input in anycase. I've used Rosetta Stone (v2 and v3), Plimsleur (did about 55 lessons out of 90), Michael Thomas (the first few audio CDs around 30 lessons), Assimil (about 90...

I think she's trying not to listen to Dawkins because she realises that her beliefs are fragile. If she admits evolution is factual she starts to question the rest of what she was taught. I watched all the videos, she's constantly implying that "hardcore" evolutionists have zero regard for...

No no, I'm not saying that infinity can't happen because I can't think it can happen. Mathematics has a place holder for infinity, it doesn't mean someone could ever count to infinity...etc. A while (true) loop will conceptually run forever, but can't? The idea that anything will last for...

Just reading the intro and it pains me to see him giving credit to his family without actually stating their names.

I would argue that mathematics and computer science is not the real world.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetism So which particles are involved? Probably the electrons repelling each other? When you're touching an object, you're not really touching it. What you're feeling, if I recall correctly, are the EM forces acting on each other. Although, it's probably...

I would ask him for some more predictions. If all this science exists in the Quran, then let us know about it before the scientists do? Like the TOE. It's too bad that their "science" is so vague and even if they can somehow bend it to adhere to the science it still tells us nothing at all.

I really dislike those loud mouths fkers. Get a bunch of ignoramuses to watch this and they'll probably side with the skeptics.

I do tend to agree with you. I think this guy in particular has about 40+ years of experience, he does mix up his methods a bit. I think the whole process of laying down the paint for him is almost a thoughtless process, after he has chosen his subject. He does work from photographs. His problem...

I would agree if we were talking about an infinite number of universes, but given that most things in this universe don't have an infinite amount of time to accomplish something. I could say something really broad like, the moon will never collide with betelgeuse and you could probably say that...

I think it's a good idea to figure out what has 1 trillion (etc) shots of happening? I strongly disagree with the statement that everything in the universe has a 100% chance of happening. It's just too broad.

I'm trying to master myself. I find I'm quite lazy and tend to procrastinate quite a lot. Outside of work I like to paint between two to five hours a day. It's difficult to hit that magical five and have a real sense of accomplishment. So generally I "work" between ten and fourteen hours a day...

Great read. I'm sure you'll do well, although I've not read any other entries. :P

That's awesome. Looks like mammals may have been having a difficult time way back when. :P

Two of my house mates are really big into regression therapy. One of the guys was rattling on about it and said it's been scientifically proven. I had to point out that it would be nearly impossible to verify, so even if they are doing some "scientific" studies or whatever, they would find it...
