@jdale1:

That is precisely why I say if God exists God is a subjective matter. God cannot be known objectively because individual experience is...individual. It is like we both look at the proverbial half empty half full glass and disagree about the state of its existance. Reality is a bit more c...

@Rachelelizabeth1986:

"Perfection" and "nothing" are subjective perceptions thus your conclusion is subjective.

@freefromwar

So what if 90% of scientists are disbelievers of the concept of God? The absence of God is just a perception. If you look into quantum mechanics you will realize that the wrong way is to be certain that whatever you perceive is the reality itself. Not only religious people are delusi...

@RadowBombsTheUsa:

You misunderstood. I am suggesting that if you really want abortion to be obsolete, try frist saving the fetuses by adopting them, or do something that actually helps women get educated for example. Trying to legislate against choice won't cure the problem. Taking away God's gi...

I thought Big Think was about science and how to make society better how to make losers feel better about failures.

This talk is like, well, if you drink, drink more, it is OK, and it is unnatural to be not drunk.

If there wasn't murders from jealousy, if there weren't visceral reactions again...

The problem with both notions is that they are human inventions to explain two sets of observation about the same but complex state of existance. Both notions are merely illusions in equal part. We need a new notion that accounts for the reality of both of them. How about "deterministic free will...

@GoongalaGoongala Let me make a prediction: CERN will discover that God exists and all religions will disappear in an instant. If God exists God would be according to how science describes God and not based on human imagination.

This is an older video. Look for the video where he sais the experiment gave wrong results and why.

It IS Jastrow illusion but with a kick. I think the guy is enhancing the illusion with a bit of perspective manipulation. B seems to deform and actually looks longer on the "bellow" position than the "above" position.

@TexLex53 That is an interpretation, an illusion of what reality is like for you. With quantum physics it is easy to create your own illusion about what the nature of it is. Scientists do have difficulty understanding it themselves. If you're not a scientist you have to understand how brain works...

Since it seems that there is no purpose to why we are born, it seems also true that we cannot leave without a purpose. The difficult part is to find the rules by which to live so that we don't clash our realities to the point of extermination. That might be the original intention of religion but ...
