frans,
i dont know if you will get this because i seem to have been quarantined in order not to infect all you guys

i can tell you have never been to ireland
because in reality it is about as religious as a cabbage

it is not reality you are dealing with but your conception of it

all irish people are religious: true/false?

all dutch people are dope peddling child pornographers: true/false?

there is science and then there is technique.
in the past alot of worthwhile techniques were derided because considered impossible in the realms of science

the fruits of collective research does not constitute as objective or universal truth,
it is not in the interest of scientists to reach a conclusion on anything.

in order to verify they have to be objective,
could you please explain how we can be objective?

Comment #12384 by godismyhobby on December 11, 2006 at 4:14 pm

you say the "fact" of evolution
what is a fact?
a fact is something the majority believe to be true based on verifiable evidence
evolution cannot satisfactorily be verified by the majority of people whether they believe it or not

11. Richard Dawkins on The Late Late Show with Pat Kenny

Comment #12379 by godismyhobby on December 11, 2006 at 4:04 pm

objective evidence?,as human beings we cant possibly be objective,so yes i doubt it

12. Richard Dawkins on The Late Late Show with Pat Kenny

Comment #12377 by godismyhobby on December 11, 2006 at 4:02 pm

vardu,there are many ways to intrepret the same data.the theory of evolution suits me down to the ground because it seems to work at the present time,it will probably be surpassed by a more all encompassing theory in the future which will make it look naive

Comment #12375 by godismyhobby on December 11, 2006 at 3:58 pm

an excerpt from a speech by krishnamurti

Truth is a pathless land'. Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophic knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection. Man has built in himself images as a fence of security — religious, political, personal. These manifest as symbols, ideas, beliefs. The burden of these images dominates man's thinking, his relationships and his daily life. These images are the causes of our problems for they divide man from man. His perception of life is shaped by the concepts already established in his mind. The content of his consciousness is his entire existence. This content is common to all humanity. The individuality is the name, the form and superficial culture he acquires from tradition and environment. The uniqueness of man does not lie in the superficial but in complete freedom from the content of his consciousness, which is common to all mankind. So he is not an individual.

Comment #12359 by godismyhobby on December 11, 2006 at 3:42 pm

well the idea of nonlocality and pantheism in the sense of all being god is interestingly connected.


pan is the god of chaos
pantheism is the belief that all is god

22. Richard Dawkins on The Late Late Show with Pat Kenny

Comment #12338 by godismyhobby on December 11, 2006 at 3:18 pm

bohm and krishnamurti did not wax lyrical about god but believed in the inherent goodness of all beings

23. Richard Dawkins on The Late Late Show with Pat Kenny

Comment #12336 by godismyhobby on December 11, 2006 at 3:17 pm

well i think he he corresponded with the indian philosopher krishnamurti.i think he felt krishnamurti was using different metaphors to explain the same idea maybe with a more spiritual bent whereas bohm would have been more at home using scientific terminology

24. Richard Dawkins on The Late Late Show with Pat Kenny

Comment #12331 by godismyhobby on December 11, 2006 at 2:57 pm

well as it is with most scientific theories or hypotheses for that matter,they are based on metaphor and analogy,the explanation of things we dont know using concepts we do,in bohms terms the explicate order is the world we see around us and can study,the visible world.the implicate order is that which we can see only by its effects,for example,as i type this my mind has the meaning which it then finds words to express ,these words are then converted into information that is implicate in nature in the form of binary code, this travels through the net and you recieve it converted into the explicate order in the form of alphabetic type.this i suppose is philosophy rather than hard science but helps one to gain a broader scientific outlook and awareness of the fact that our minds our a subjective instrument through which all sense data must pass,therefore objectivity is nigh on impossible,but our knowledge becomes more subtle and we realise many models are needed in order to explain one spacetime event

25. Richard Dawkins on The Late Late Show with Pat Kenny

Comment #12321 by godismyhobby on December 11, 2006 at 2:36 pm

well you will be speaking to an absolute layman,
and my knowledge is purely speculative but at the moment im interested in david bohms theory of the implicate order.i really think it is a beautiful metaphorical framework to explain the hidden order of the universe

yes,humility is what we need,people are people after all,including dawkins.we should let the baby have his bottle in peace,but does the end justify the memes?

Comment #12235 by godismyhobby on December 11, 2006 at 11:27 am

being the bombastic patriot that i am i also apologise for being irish,it is one of many labels to describe me which embarass me intensely.
My dad once said to me that no one ever went bankrupt by underestimating the intelligence of the british public.
i honestly think the same can be said of humanity at large.
i think dawkins likes appearing in the company of other half-wits in order to appear more intelligent
and reasonable than he actually is.
the vox populi is always temporal,true rationality will hopefully come later

Comment #12102 by godismyhobby on December 10, 2006 at 3:28 pm

nature is natural
nothing is not nature
therefore nothing is unnatural
nothing is beyond nature
therefore nothing is supernatural
humankind is natural
religion is a product of humankind
therefore religion is natural
everything is natural
nature is god
therefore god is natural

now could somebody please rewrite this without using "is"
