  1. Again no, it means there's no assumption to be made.
  2. No, the point is “what ever is lacking evidence ” is null.
  3. When did 'Strange' suggest there was? You've read them all, right, 'disarray', understand Nietzsche, much?
  4. how was Nietzsche wrong when he declared "God is dead"; the idea seems prophetic.
  5. Sorry John but you're also missing my point: How do you know what will inform our future thinking? Religion changes all the time, new factions are always popping up with a new interpretations of the bible; that lacks understanding. No but someone started it.
  6. The real step forward is in understanding why a “god” doesn’t matter.
  7. You’re missing the point, science explains our current thinking, and religion explains our previous thinking, who knows what will explain our future thinking.
  8. Last one tonight, promise...
  9. And lets not forget these classics:
  10. Both bands are well worth checking out, but the Pixies penned that song.
  11. Awesome track, so well delivered.

    Agreed given the number of elective C-section’s amongst women that have the option, I have no doubt this technology has a future. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/mother-tongue/9796499/Why-50-per-cent-of-Chinese-women-are-opting-for-C-sections.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2290672/The-hospitals-wealthy-mothers-posh-push-babies-delivered-caesarean-section.html
  14. Whilst I do agree that neither side has the higher moral ground by default, I do have to conclude that tolerance is more often correct than a strict adherence to the traditional intolerant stance of the natural conservative; both views have merit and are necessary in a balanced society but a little more tolerance does go a long way in keeping the peace and lessoning extremes of attitude.
  15. Given that this is a science forum, I really don’t see why navigating what is really only a side issue needs further clarification; as always in internet fora, if in doubt, just ask.
  16. Bitch...
  17. No tourrettes is an entirely different condition, it tends to lead the sufferer to blurt out the most inappropriate statement when it isn't a physical tick.
  18. Certain types of autism can manifest this inability and yes it can cause problems, especially when s/he doesn’t appear to have any other social issues. Having been a carer for people with learning difficulties, I have seen firsthand how this can lead to quite difficult social issues, and without my intervention could have easily lead to violence.
  19. The edge of physics by Anil Ananthaswamy The black hole war by Leonard Susskind Physics of the impossible by Michio Kaku The day we found the universe by Marcia Bartusiak The grand design by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow, I’m still reading this one but very good so far.
