Hopefully there will be no satanic or kill messages among the numbers.

 

Did I misread him? I thought he came out 4:1 against?

Perhaps (satire) I misread him.

Laryngeal nerves are a very strong case that evolution is a real thing. It kinda clears it all up for me anyway. The Laryngeal nerve in a giraffe is clear evidence for either evolution or very flawed design.

 

I did try to come up with a reason why it would be beneficial to have your laryngeal nerve go down and around your aorta... it was very, very sketchy at least - hear goes anyway:

 

I read recently that you can survive a heart attack and a stopped heart by self cardial massage through powerful coughing that can and has been know to kickstart the heart much like CPR as the chest contracts and squeeses the heart during the coughing. If this nerve runs right round your aorta then I can see that mabye (MAYBE!!! clutching at straws... very fine breakable straws!!)... maybe during a heart attack this coughing could be helped by shouting and that the laryngeal nerve could tighten and pull up on the heart and help with this self massaging CPR...... but as I was typing it out it seemed so stupid I nearly just hit the delete button on my whole post. - lol.

LOL

This kind of brainstorming is good, as long as everyone understands it is untested hypothesis.

If you plot object size (m³) and density (#/km³) then there are many photons (smallest objects) and few stars (largest objects). A first approximation curve between those two points is a straight line. However, it is possible to find estimates or measurements of a few more points, such as planet density and hydrogen atom density. Half a dozen points should allow a good guess at the shape of the size-density curve.

Doubt it. When I drive at 100 mph I am much more likely to have a collision than when I drive at 5 mph.

Why is important to answering the OP question.

There are about 100 billions galaxies in the Universe, 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, and 200 billion atoms in our DNA.

Restating the OP: Among several of hypothesis have observations selected one with at least one more assumption than another hypothesis.

I think one has to consider spoken languages are elegant, and may be used to obscure simplicity and inflate lists. Competing hypothesis may not be written with equal skill and purpose.

 

Baker then notes that principles, including Occam's razor, are often expressed in a way that is unclear regarding which facet of "simplicity"—parsimony or elegance—the principle refers to, and that in a hypothetical formulation the facets of simplicity may work in different directions: a simpler description may refer to a more complex hypothesis, and a more complex description may refer to a simpler hypothesis.

I think we cannot fully trust an answer to your question,

OM bussta thinks there is scientific proof for no god, DanTrentfield thinks there is a proof for God, an. d several of us say science cannot prove anything. The majority wins in a democracy. I'm waiting for the feathers to settle. Maybe a moderator will declare Dan to be hijacking a thread.

You might try intonation, with the pattern such as Nou Lou Nou Lou[math]\uparrow[/math]

Do you think the probability of collision increases with speed? If so why? How does speed affect your ability to detect and react to a pending collision? What is the increase in damage from collisions? How do size and mass affect collision rate and maneuverability? A big question, that may not have a satisfactory answer is, "How many objects of what size are in interstellar space?" You may be able to make a Drake-like equation to answer your question.

IMO you haven't asked the right question. You are certain to collide with small things, starting with photons and working up in size. You are certain to avoid large things like stars and planets, except by choice. The littlest things do not cause damage. Some small things act like a sand blaster. Large things damage. What is acceptable damage and what must be avoided. Ship hull design is a factor.

The simple answer is you aren't likely to hit anything catastrophic for a long time. Voyager 1 and 2 have been traveling for 38 and 35 years without hitting anything. IDK how many years total travel has occurred within the solar system, nor whether a payload has had an unintended collision, but I'm sure it is rare.

Once the parties compromised. Now, compromise is a dirty word. Will this thread end without compromise on the meaning of competent?

Abiogenesis means new or earliest life.

Abiogenesis or adiogenesis are different spellings for the same event but only one is rejected by spellcheck.

I made up adiogenesis, which was meant to suggest genesis of a deity, but should have spelled it adeigenesis maybe. Thought I had a brainstorm; obviously, it was a brainbarf.

Ed Earl,

 

I like the principle, but you only need one syllable per character, using your system. You are pronouncing two base byte characters.

 

Can you give the phonetic alphabet sounds you intend there? I am not sure if you mean diphthongs or like two syllable vowel sounds. May say like the oi in toilet so I can hear it when I see it. Also, I think its a little messy to have B as a number and B as a sound in the same system, and be associated with a different arm pattern in a different position.

 

Regard, TAR

I didn't think about what the sounds would be. There weren't sixteen vowels, so used the first four of aeiouwy and selected 16 consonants, discarding Q as problematic, and others more or less by whim, assigned values to each, stirred in some glue, and posted. A design would mean writing all the combinations, selecting vowel sounds, writing and pronouncing all the syllables, and pronounce selected numbers from 0 to FFFF. In retrospect, it probably makes more sense to use aeou than aeio. If you want to use it, please do.

I have yet to come up with a way (simple, systematic and pleasing) to pronounce these symbols. Anybody have a good idea?

I invented some nonsense syllables to see if doing so would stimulate my brain. The brainstorm gave me the aftermath of a tornado:

0 = B = aa
1 = D = ae
2 = F = ai
3 = G = ao
4 = H = ea
5 = J = ee
6 = K = ei
7 = L = eo
8 = M = ia
9 = N = ie
A = P = ii
B = R = io
C = S = oa
D = T = oe
E = V = oi
F = Z = oo

The single character 256 base values can be represented with one phoneme spelled with combinations of three letters. For example, Foo = 256 and Baa = 0.

Some combinations are politically incorrect, for example Mia Lie = hex 8879 This particular list of hex digit phonemes isn't ideal, but I didn't filter them.

Using Tar's system, a person must learn to add, subtract, multiply, and divide in binary to do arithmetic. Math whizzes could learn the 256 times table.

I like it but I'm too old to change.

Fascism is an English word that has a meaning. It is not a synonym for "bad", or "authoritarian", or "totalitarian", or "violent", or "warmongering", or "Nazi", or "police State", or "jackboot wearing", or "anti-Semitic", or "thuggish".

I didn't know anyone in the US read an English dictionary. Can you tell me what I mean when saying, "I'm bad."

At least one species of great ape is guilty of killing members of the opposite sex.

From Wikipedia:

For much of American history, the right to travel included the right to travel by the vehicle of one's choice, and courts occasionally struck down regional regulations that required licenses or government permission to travel on public roadways. With the advent of the automobile, however, courts began upholding laws and regulations requiring licenses to operate vehicles on roadways. Constitutional scholar Roger Roots has referred to the forgotten right to travel without license as "the orphaned right.

This orphaned right, travel without ID, does not stop police from detaining people when they believe it necessary, sometimes unlawfully but often for something trivial like walking on the grass instead of a sidewalk.

I came across this video today. While I think the arguments are definitely irrefutable (it's hard to argue with math), do you think science can disprove God?

Abiogenesis? This thread is about adiogenesis, isn't it?

As a teenager I struggled with my family's explanation that God always existed and created the Universe. I thought, "Why couldn't the Universe always exist (without a god)? I didn't need proof, just doubt, which is sufficient..

You forgot the virgin islands:)

If we cannot even enforce the rule of law, why have laws?

Exactly, change the law or enforce it. Some laws are inane. In New Mexico, nudity is allow, provided that male genitals are covered. The legal system is responsible for enforcing the law, regardless of whether the law is just or even makes sense. Citizens have the responsibility of making informed decisions about laws, and letting law maker know if they disagree. It seems you agree with the immigration laws and want them enforced.

Occasionally, a law can be so bad that one is ethically compelled to disobey the law. Gandhi and Martin Luther King specialized in this kind of civil disobedience.

If the chirality (right or left handedness) of certain amino acids or sugars were different to that, which is common to life on Earth, might be one way. Isotopic composition of certain elements might be another. This idea would be nullified If the chirality from the two planets was the same, then one might propose that life's basic ingredients was 'imported' from somewhere else rather than started on that particular planet from scratch. The same conclusion could be derived for isotopic composition.

Are you saying there are some indicators that would definitely indicate two genesis events; on the other hand, two genesis events might create life with identical chirality, and differentiation between one and two events would not be possible?

IDK if Texas has a diverse population; it is filled with religious fundamentalists and has more Tea Party legislators than any other state.

The exchange of rocks between Earth and Mars from large meteor impacts that hurl surface rocks into solar orbit, making asteroids, means the two planets may share life from the same abiogenesis event. It would be exciting if Mars had its own abiogenesis that survived in spite of being contaminated by life from Earth, moreover, that we could identify them both. We know so little about abiogenesis, do we know that we could see differences in life from two abiogenesis events?
