    Skeptimal,

    I'm not sure what your objection here is. Did I use the word "humiliation"?

    Didn't you object to an earlier post where I claimed that Peter Atkin's stated that Science can account for anything? Didn't you want to see the quote? (I'm sure someone can look it up.)

    Unfortunately, this wasn't my video. I'd be interested in seeing the scientist's answer as well. I don't believe he has one. Perhaps you would like to take a stab at an answer.

    Maybe I'm being presumptuous, but I understand Peter Atkins to mean that "science can account for everything."

    This isn't the first time he has said it.

    what a great clip...i would have liked to see the entire thing as well.. was that Buckley as moderator? how old is the clip as we know Buckly died within the last 2 yrs or so.

    have any of you seen the movie:

    Expelled...No Intelligence Allowed?

    There were similar rebuttals by Hawkins (i believe that was his name). on the question of where live originated, he actually put forth the theory that we were seeded by a super intelligent society...anything but designed by a creator.

    btw: i don't feel quite smart enough for this blog...

Eckhart Tolle - Christian Response

Unbelievable! ...The extent man not founded upon Christ will go and follow in their quest and pursuit of self and attempts to explain away reality and sin. Here's Oprah's spiritual sage... Response: 1. He resurrects errors of the past which deny reality by seeking to replace it with forms. 2. By reducing the past to forms (or photo albums) he not only denies the reality of the past but the extent of it's connectedness and relationship to the present. This error he also translates in regard to the future. 3. He establishes a false premise that one can separate the reality of the present ("now") from reality itself, which he vests in onesself (though he inconsistently goes on to suggest that life is found in abandoning oneself) 4. He has no grounds or basis for assuming reality is found in self (and apart from everything else, or only what one want's to allow) 5. By denying the truth of God, he falsely asserts that the future is no longer problematic...

Eckhart Tolle Christianity (Understanding Eckhart Tolle - Comparison / Difference with Christianity)

I believe it important that both believers and unbelievers understand the difference between the teaching of Eckhart Tolle and Christianity. Here's a brief post to introduce you to a few of the significant differences. (Note, I've just been exposed to Tolle, but it doesn't seem to take long to discern the differences) Context (the problem)Taken from here .: Despite Oprah and Eckhart's reduction of Christianity to but one "way" amongst many other equally legitimate ways to God, and their calling Christ a "revolutionary" who has been misunderstood by the Church, and who simply came to manifest "Christ-consciousness", a quick search through the internet reveals that many Christians are following Oprah in attempting to fuse together the teachings of Eckhart, and the doctrines of the historical Christian church. Great website to gain quick summary of Eckhart's beliefs/teachings: Ripples on the Surface of Being Key Responses by Eckhart To...

Parallel Processing: Reconciling Creation and Time

The Curiosity rover, which landed on Mars in 2012, is equipped with two primary computers: the Rover Compute Element (RCE) and the Vision Compute Element (VCE). What's particularly interesting is how these two systems operate at different speeds within the same overall system. The RCE, which handles the rover's main functions, runs on a radiation-hardened RAD750 processor clocking at a modest 200 MHz. This might seem slow by Earth standards, but it's robust enough to withstand the harsh Martian environment. In contrast, the VCE, which processes image data for navigation, uses a significantly faster processor that can run at speeds up to 400 MHz. This allows for quicker processing of visual data, crucial for the rover's autonomous navigation. Here's where it gets fascinating: these two processors, running at different speeds, work together to control the rover's operations. From the perspective of the slower RCE, the VCE might process several complex image analys...
