The cake is a lie.

Hey welcome!

I really dislike arguing against the Venus Project, because I admire its intentions. Unfortunately, I do believe that in order for a plan of this magnitude to succeed, it must have massive amounts of agreement and acceptance, it must be heavily funded, and it will take large amounts of time to...

I suppose you do have a good point with the incentive of money. As for the competition, I agree the concept could work, IF every member of the society accepts and follows an intelligent, logical way of thinking. The current problem is that the majority of the populace is now ingrained with...

The only flaw I find to this society is that it is still made up of humans. People in general cannot accept a sameness with the majority. Every person out there hates to be a conformist, as much as they think they aren't conforming. Basically, if a person wanted a nice TV, the person across the...

/sigh There are supposed to be 10 dimensions of spacetime. 1. A Line. X 2. A branching line, flat surface. X, Y 3. Three dimensional space with no time. X, Y, Z. 4. Time as a line. X, Y, Z, T 5. Time with branching alternate timelines. X, Y, Z, T, T2 6. Time with a line that may jump to...

Heh. I had to reveal that I was an Atheist to my mother about 6 months ago, when I had been an Atheist for almost two years. Her first reaction was more than I had expected, so much that I could have mistaken her for a devout Christian. Because we never went to church very much anyway, I assumed...

In theory, I would suppose that life may be able to live without water, but for the most part I think the chemical properties of water give it the signature of "fuel for life." It is likely where life first arose, and its the same thing that we cannot live without. I think that likely the...

Well, I thought the idea of a society where people do not have to work, and everything is automated, is not currently possible with our given level of technology. Medical procedures take loads of skill to prefect and many other fields of work cannot be fully automated. Further, there must be...

What don't you understand? I can simplify it for you...

I love how the only question raised regarding the Death Penalty is the price. That is awesome. It's not the morality of whether its right or wrong to kill a human being when they've committed a crime, its "how much money does it cost?" Honestly, I am for the Death Penalty. The thing I am VERY...

I wasn't quite sure on that... Agreed, though, Physics is where I'm at home, just not on a massive scale. I prefer the theoretical physics, string theory, relativity, etc.

The only portion of the Zeitgeist movies I truly enjoyed were the sections on religion, and on the economy. Some of the information included is fictitious, and the movie is too provocative. In truth, every idea from the Venus Project so far has been somewhat poor. The only idea I truly agree...

Certainly. I'm unsure if it applies to light, but "spin" is the idea that a particle as small as an electron (which is highly energetic anyway, similar to light), has a spin designated to it, so that as it moves through space, it creates a wavelike motion, unless acted upon by another force...

While I whole-heartedly encourage you to take a similar standpoint to other discussions, the use for agnosticism is wasted when applied with atheism. If you think that being unsure gives you some form of immunity to Pascal's Wager, then listen to what I have to say. Plain and simple, the...

Please advise your friend to understand that the acceptance of evolution does not constitute the removal of morals. Moral behaviors come from many sources, but my favorite by far is that they are derived from the equal need of society, basically the golden rule on steroids. If you choose to kill...

Well it looks like you guys pretty much handled most of it, light is made up of small packets of energy called photons, and these photons behave similar to an electron. Because of E=MC^2, obviously has no mass, it is composed entirely of energy. I believe the photons have a spin, which is what...

Agreed. Who comes up with the idea that the theory of evolution constitutes religious beliefs? And on top of that, why do people call Atheism a religion? I don't worship anything, Atheism is a state of being (intelligent), not a belief system. I try my goddamn hardest not to have "faith" in...

Re: ** STICKY ** League of Reason slogan competition! My sig. :) Others could be: "Ignorance is bliss for the intelligent." "There are no stupid questions. Just stupid people." "The website for insight." "Wisdom, not Wisdumb."

I think it's bullshit that people want creationism taught in schools, just because evolution is taught. Evolution isn't a religion, it's a scientific theory that happens to be contradictory with creationism. If you want to teach religion, have your child go to a church, that's what it's for...
