Why is it some people believe you absolutely require a god for there to be peace? Don't they watch the news to see all those people around the world killing each other in the name of their god? In some cases, it's the same god but the point of contention is what he truly was trying to convey in his holy book. Have they ever realized (not thought, realized) that the very word and concept of god was implanted in their mind as a kid? How could they not come to that conclusion on honest reflection?

@tpstrat14 u really think the watchmaker argument holds water,please tell me your joking . You cannot compare a computer or a watch to a living organism. The most important part of evolution is reproduction,some thing man made inventions can't do...do I really need to point that out.

@1:10"sorry dinesh again"...lol

on a side note, their are alot of hot chicks there. Imagine being an atheist over there and turning their minds to seclurist!!!!. Easy Score!!

@xminorthreatx The world has never know peace because it has abandoned God ..No-one is killing each other in the name of God ..Don't bore me with the Arabs & Jews..that's about land ..There have been millions of murders ..99% have nothing to do with God ..You're an imbecile

@korzon You are comparing X boxes with the LHC? No wonder your country is going down the drain right now if that is the level of scientific ignorance you have achieved.

PS: The LHC is about the Higgs-bosun. Nothing to do with string-theory and never had.

[korzon]

@TomFynn It's broken and will break again it's the largest magnet made in the world for now.Even the people who put their money into it arent happy with it,and just as nasa shut down they will to.They should stick with real science,Like x boxes pc's and cell phones that actualy work.Even LHC enthusiasts even have said we should scap the string theory already and move on to something differen't in the forums.We had one here in the U.S. we scraped it.

[Ryakki]

@korzon So basically... since we don't know EVERYTHING in the universe with the snap of our fingers, all science and technology is pointless and we should just go live on the savannas of Africa, unclothed and gathering berries, worshipping whatever supernatural forces strike our fancy?

I've got an idea, why don't YOU do that, and leave the rest of us to our knowledge and understanding and technological achievements.

[TomFynn]

@korzon Do try to inform yourself on the Universe: watch?v=7ImvlS8PLIo

As for the LHC: It is the most complex machine ever invented. To make it work the way it should is complicated. And even if it works and does not find a Higgs boson where it is predicted, is has found an important scientific result.

As for the 4 theories on the origin of the moon: Who gives a fuck?

[alolfan1]

@glossop08 Right, and I think I conceded that point. His conviction--that the mode of production for a computer is identical, in principle, to that of the universe itself--can be objected to by the argument that what is true of the part is not necessarily true of the whole. But I was simply curious if Craig's narrow conception of the universe had made you skeptical of the possibilities of technology. Forgive me if i sounded particularly critical, but I was simply curious about your opinion.

[korzon]

@TomFynn Well you people waisted a lot of money on fantasy that LHC diddn't even work.And it is a contradiction because withing that theory they believe there are other dimensions.And the Hubble can't see the end of the Universe nothing can.And we still don't know where the moon came from they still have 4 theories on that.Yeh peer review a couple guys get into a room and agree on a theory out of 4 and then call it a fact.Sorry to say that isn't very scientific.We have theories not fact's.
