Still up to the blatant self promotion.
Tao, are you a scientist ? I practice engineering and science as well. Are there any other scientists on this forum ? I have become more interested in the interface between science and religion and I think it might be interesting to explore this interface on topics of a more technical nature. Some obvious areas are origin of the universe and origin of species. What do you think ?
sub-forum here on Atheism ?
I haven't found one. What's up with that?
ah, so the idea has been proposed before Robert Lonzo. It was John Wheeler who used the idea of the Universe as a self-excited circuit . . .

Interesting read above. So the two/double-slit experiment is the foundation of the scientific evidence for the biocentric universe. No, I do not know anything about the experiment . . .
Sorry, it just fascinates me so...
Lol, yeah I never did get that not typing God thing...
I agree, this universe is beautiful in and of itself, whether you see it as a creation or not.
Ha, squirrels, lol. *snort*
Hmm, well because you gave a reason why you don't believe in God, I guess I'll give a reason why I'm not an atheist. Seems only fair.
I don't like the idea of being the sum of the parts of the matter in my body. I don't like the idea that there isn't something more to what makes me me than chemical reactions in this body and electrical impulses in this brain. I want a soul. Maybe it's selfish of me, but it's my main problem with atheism. I want answers after I die. Blinking out would suck...
And from all that I've experienced, I can't really make myself believe that beings don't have souls. Like, I can't personally do this. No matter how I try. I have no scientific data or nothin to support my beliefs or lack thereof. I just can't make myself believe that there is nothing besides the physical, based on a lifetime of personal accumulated data. Not research data mind you, just data I obtained by being alive.
But, everyone is different, so I can see how people would believe the complete opposite to me. For exactly the same reasons. And I'm cool with that. Variety is the spice of life after all, lol.![]()
There are 4 or 5 lectures from the recent Perimeter Institute festival to be found on that site... enjoythanx for posting, will watch l8r![]()
