Reincarnation/Karma is a pseudo god, by which I mean it seeks to provide succour to those that don't understand the benefits of forgiveness but are happy to be told. Your atoms can survive physical death but you can't. May I suggest, with all due respect, you revisit our previous correspondence and Nietzsche. Just a hint, when you understand why god is irrelevant, you understand why it's needed.

There's always another choice, with or without evidence.

That's your choice.

Again no, it means there's no assumption to be made.

No, the point is “what ever is lacking evidence ” is null.

When did 'Strange' suggest there was? You've read them all, right, 'disarray', understand Nietzsche, much?

how was Nietzsche wrong when he declared "God is dead"; the idea seems prophetic.

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.

The real step forward is in understanding why a “god” doesn’t matter.

You’re missing the point, science explains our current thinking, and religion explains our previous thinking, who knows what will explain our future thinking.

Last one tonight, promise...

And lets not forget these classics:

Both bands are well worth checking out, but the Pixies penned that song.

Awesome track, so well delivered.

How is a child gestated artificially, artificial?

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

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.

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.

Why?

Bitch...

try this

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.

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.
