Don't bother. This isn't Aron's field.

i guess that's the answer.

I only looked into this forum because it was mentioned by Aron. I don't know what the problem is, but it doesn't seem any different than any place else. There are no discussions to be found on Face Book, Reddit, YouTube, The International Skeptics forum, Sam Harris' forum, or even on Scientific...

I've been doing research since 2013 in an area that includes Artificial General Intelligence, Consciousness Theory, and Evolutionary Cognitive Theory. This is all the same field. It includes how humans and other animals are able to be conscious, how this developed from non-conscious round worms...

I have no idea what you are trying to say here. I guess I need to define this: Information specifically with regard to Information Theory is a reduction in uncertainty. This doesn't require any great effort to understand. Suppose I have a box and inside this box is a circle. I drop four colored...

tigert, I don't mind discussing Information Theory but it seems pointless to go around in circles on it. I can tell you what the theory says and then we can see if there is any point that can be made from it. A long time ago people understood that a free energy machine or perpetual motion...

All systems will fall into a loop unless they include an unpredictable component. And, of course, if the human brain fell into a loop, free will would vanish. You would just repeat the same things over and over. Secondly, disorder is part of thermodynamics. The more energy a system has, the more...

I have an even more convincing argument for the existence of God. Our universe (U0) had to come from somewhere. Therefore, it must have had a creator, God. If God created our universe then he must be greater than our universe: If God is greater than our universe then he cannot fit inside it...

Yes, it is skewed American as the text says: Atheists and agnostics, Jews and Mormons are among the highest-scoring groups in a 32-question survey of religious knowledge by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. On average, Americans got 16 of the 32 questions correct. Atheists and...

Yes, God created life on the third day before our solar system existed. So, clearly this does not refer to plants on Earth as a careless reading might suggest. This is not correct. The historical narrative of Adam and Eve as two individuals does not begin until the very end of Genesis 3. Prior...

Re: Walter Remine: A paper analysis & a lesson in dishonesty One of the issues with Haldane's Dilemma itself is that it describes common breeding practices rather than actual, natural selective pressures. A good example of this is that most registered breeds of dogs in the AKC have serious...

Re: Walter Remine: A paper analysis & a lesson in dishonesty I find it strange indeed that you claim that something is correct but less suitable. Assuming the count is not based on correctness, apparently. If the goal is to keep the description vague enough that overly generalized...

I'm not sure which is worse: Bob's inability to admit that an emu is a bird or Ray's statement that he cannot consider facts because of his religious belief. Interestingly, neither of these notions is based on Christian doctrine. I keep wondering if I am going to have to write a book to explain...

Thank you.

Actually, to me, it is reminiscent of the scientific name for giraffe: camelopardalis.
