  1. "1. We don't see in three-dimensions, we see intwo-dimensional surface area. We canonly see the OUT sides of objects."

    Ignoring the typos (which are an example of something that needs tidying up) that premise is clearly false (if you forgive the pun).

    I am inside my house and I can see it.

     

    Our yes can only capture a 2-dimensional perspective of the world, like a photo. Since the light is projected into a 2-dimensional surface inside our eyes, it is impossible to see a 3-dimensional image.

  2. "4x" (x = a random number) comes from "xxxx".

    "xxxx" means there was a x number of x's, and then a x number of x's again, which means there was a 2x number of x's. (xxxx = x.x + x.x = 2x.x)

    Therefore, the next step shoud've been written as (2x)x.

    Higher numbers won't show up neither, because they'll be made by "xxxx" + "nx". Since "xxxx" can't happen, higher numbers can't appear neither

  3. I find some religions to be scary. They create wars. Also people kill in the name of their God. Heaven and hell are two crazy houses. You have to die first to see your God. Give me a break.

    It's not religion; it's the ideals. It doesn't need to be a religion, any kind of ideal can be used as an excuse for mass murder. Stalin killed in the name of atheism. Lots of people would kill or die for their country, whatever the reason would be.

     

    My reason for not believing in certain religions is: how a omnipotent, omniscient, benevolent, "omni-omnic" god would allow suffering to exist? This argument cannot "disprove" certain religions, though. Lots of them do not have these kinds of deities.

  4. Well, if you postulate other dimensions where there is no God but these dimensions are the origin of the world wherein we are existing, what is there to prevent us from also postulating there are no such dimensions, or that in these dimensions God is present and is their creator?

     

    What are you defining as a "dimension", another universe?

  5. What is wrong with that?<br style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; background-color: rgb(248, 250, 252); ">We know that an object far away is observed now as it was in the past.<br style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; background-color: rgb(248, 250, 252); ">When you propulse an object far away, the same happens.<br style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; background-color: rgb(248, 250, 252); ">Why is that incorrect?

    There's me, my letter-writing friend and a personal courier I hired. The farther my friend is, the more time the courier takes to bring his letters to me, and so I get older and older letters. If he is too far away, those letters would be from a distant past, and so my friend would be on the past too.

    Me: Observer

    Friend: object that travels aways from the observer

    Courier: Photons

    You're receiving light that interacted with the moving object far ago, but this doesn't mean the object is going "paster". Just like the stars we see at night, most of them already collapsed, but their light is still coming to us. Just because we see them, doesn't mean they are still there

  6. Well, then air conditioners are pointless too, there are a lot of people that live well in places much hotter than that badly-ventilated office.

     

     

    The humanity as a whole can survive on a wide range of humidity levels, but the specific individuals can't, or at least don't like it.

     

    The same way an Egyptian would say Chile is too cold for him, even on summer.

  7. What kind of trait is that, exactly?No, Darwinian evolution isn't based on acquired traits, that's Lamarckism.Imagine a savanna populated by primitive giraffes, with shorter necks than the modern ones. Then, some catastrophe happens and the giraffes can only eat from tall trees, that not every giraffe can reach.

    According to darwinism, shorter necked giraffes die, longer necked giraffes survive and repopulate the dead giraffes, now almost every giraffe can reach those trees.

    According to lamarckism, the shorter necked giraffe's neck will grow until they reach the leaves, and their offsprings will inhert longer necks. We consider darwinism correct and lamarckism wrong nowadays.

    Haven't homologous organs arise due to change in environment and other factors.

    The living creatures with the required traits survive, the others die. The survivors procreate, and now only there's predominantly this kind of creature. The did not acquire that trait along their life, at least if the trait is an organ

  8. I've read the original SOPA text, the parts that describes some terms used and foreign infringing websites. As far as i could understand, the attourney would "ask" the website's owner to remove the content, and 5 days later the website would be "boycotted"; paypal, google, content hoster, etc would have to stop serving that site, for instance. Like what happened with wikileaks (paypal, amazon, visa)

     

    I didn't read the section about domestic (US) websites, though. Also, it seems that there under certain conditions a website can be immune to that, but i don't remember them well.
