And the second part trying to tie it together with retarded WTC conspiracy theories? First, if you buy this crap, you haven't looked into it. More importantly, the two aren't related!!!!
I saw that. I thought it was awesome. I have no problem with people putting all their faith into "god" to get them out of bad situations... if that makes any sense.
He's definitely smarter than the average american, and you can tell he's intelligent by the way he speaks, that's where he gets a lot of his confidence from, some people think it's arrogance, but no, he's a pretty sharp guy.
Most people are theists, thats what im basing it on. Thats what Bill Maher is attacking, theism. Plus like another guy on this page says, if you listen to him speak he is clearly a very intelligent man. He may be arrogant but unlike other people, I would say he has the right to be.
I'm a theist and can virtually guarantee I am smarter than you. Seriously. you probably aren't worth my time, but this MIGHT be worth the shits and giggles it renders. lets find out.
They do, actually, eagles depend on their prey knowing they are coming, they have a MUCH harder time striking prey that is still than prey that is running away from them. so they are a bit dependent on something hearing their wingbeats, POSSIBLY seeing them, and running, and being somewhere that is open enough that it can't "go to ground" OBV. some species of eagle hunt fish, and fish are too fucking stupid to even care. so that's not even a concern there. You'd have been FAR better off with a metaphor that actually worked. here you've just ended up thinking you sound poetic, but not really conveying anything but useless noise. it would be effective if your audience didn't know shit about eagles. but still, it's a kinda crappy cliche'd metaphor.
no. I'm just being honest. you probably aren't worth my time. and I probably am smarter than you (as long as you believe in statistics) but it really could be fun, your artificial jaded crap leads me to believe it will be a waste of my time, but lets give it a shot, shall we? you tell me what makes matter have mass, and energy not have nearly as much mass. and we'll call it a day. and I am talking about comparable energy to matter, as per e=mc^2 Edit: I should mention this IS relevant to my argument that the scientific community, as it stands now, relies on as much faith as the religious community.
That's false, faith says something is true, with no proof. in science, something is only theory until proven true, every idea is open to attack, and if it survives, it lives to see another day. Religion is completely the opposite, nothing can be questioned, it's dogma.
look at the way gravity has been explored. and you continue defending science in that way (go way back, and come up to now, you'll be surprised)
i officially rescind any comment that may have insulted your ego, dave. im in awe of your incredible skills in 'intelligence'
it strikes me as odd that someone so intelligent should waste so much time on this website, i mean 11,000 posts? come on? shouldnt you be in a lab somewhere working on something big? see while i do believe i am an intelligent person, im not going to go overboard like you because after all if i were that intelligent i would not be on here wasting my time with trivial posts among drug addicts
