  • vamos Argentina!!!

  • @Diosukekun PART 2: The interesting part though is to talk about the "origin" of such laws, and discuss whether they require a deity or not. But this cannot be achieved by using arguments such as "it looks like it was made by someone".

  • @Diosukekun PART 1: Since when did anybody say that this foamy patteren is just a big coincidence. It's called the laws of physics. I doubt you'd say the same thing for all the planets being spherical. But that's because you understand why they are spherical. You're argument is based on ignorance, in my opinion one cannot debate on the existence of god(s) because of patterns, since the laws of physics can describe them without the need for a deity.

  • @Diosukekun "cosmic coincidence"?? it is just the way these materials behave. Do you think the fact that marbles, balls, swiss cheeses, coins, etc are round is evidence that planets are man made? (and suns, and air bubbles in water, and...)

  • Fractals? 

  • now if this isn't evidence for a common designer, then i don't know what is! either we have to take a huge leap of faith and assume it's nothing but a giant cosmic coincidence or accept the fact that those patterns are very obvious evidence for intellignet design. our brains are good at detecting these patterns because god created us in his own image assuming it's all mere coincidence is laughable...

  • lol at the end

  • @xexhorderx I was also concerned that some of those "patterns" of nanoparticles and galactic structures were simplified to shapes that were then quantized. I see more continuously changing lines in the original pictures that aren't obviously quantifiable in the number of sides.

  • Instead of being concerned that caffeine has a similar effect as marijuana on spider webs considering how much you drink, maybe you should smoke more marijuana.

    I kid...somewhat. I think the MJ is vastly overrated as a nasty drug that will ruin your life. All kinds of prescription meds that have similar intended effects are certainly more dangerous in terms of side effects.

    Anyway that ends this digression...I blame you for posting the picture. I've never even used MJ anyway :p

  • please do a vid on infinity
