When it comes to the NSA, what's better, could or would?
Started 18 hours ago 0 Replies 0 Likes
At this moment, NSA's top officers are testifying in a public hearing, claiming that Prism has stopped a number of terror plots. I won't comment on how seriously we should take their assertions. I'm…Continue

So far from what I've seen, I haven't found a reason to want a pair. Are you feeling an overwhelming need for a pair of glasses that can tell you that a jellyfish is a jellyfish?Do you really want to…Continue
Is Jeb Bush being pilloried for telling the truth?

I count myself as fairly liberal (when forced, I describe myself as at the liberal end of the libertarian spectrum, like Larry Flynt) and I'm certainly no particular admirer of the Bush family or…Continue

Atheist Cats
A place for atheists with cats to exchange pictures and anecdotes and even ask for advice regarding our feline friends.See More
Unseen commented on Unseen's group 'Atheist Cats'"@Mabel - Squeaky was a rescue cat. I got her as a 4 mos old kitten from the city's animal shelter. I've never seen any indication they are a "no kill" shelter, though they were waiving their normal adoption fee due to being…"
Mabel commented on Unseen's group 'Atheist Cats'"@ Unseen - It's obvious my new cat was pre-owned. He is neutered and had a collar and is tame and somewhat affectionate.
When I take him to the vet I'll have them check for a chip but he was clearly very hungry when I took him in and was…"
Unseen commented on Unseen's group 'Atheist Cats'"@Mabel - One can be too protective of cats. Let your cat be a cat, I say. Squeaky is fixed, so she will never contribute to the feral cat problem, and I never had her declawed and she has plenty of scratching opportunities in the apartment. I…"
Mabel commented on Unseen's group 'Atheist Cats'"@Unseen - Cats will be cats. I had a cat that did the same thing. He never fell but it was scary to think about him falling.
I finally got a new kitty. I named him Fozzie. He was hanging around and he finally suckered me into taking him in. He…"
Unseen commented on Unseen's group 'Atheist Cats'"A while ago I started letting Squeaky out on my 6th floor apartment balcony. There is no place close enough she could try to go from there. I couldn't imagine what she could do that would make my heart stop, but finally she figured it out. She…"
Unseen replied to G's discussion 'Is your trust in science based on faith or based on science?'"I haven't read all the posts in this thread all the way though, so I ask in fear I may be repeating what someone else has said. Has no one mentioned the Mayans, with their mastery of astronomy, accomplished entirely without polished glass…"
Unseen posted a discussionWhen it comes to the NSA, what's better, could or would?
At this moment, NSA's top officers are testifying in a public hearing, claiming that Prism has stopped a number of terror plots. I won't comment on how seriously we should take their assertions. I'm more interested in some of the comments by critics.One critic's assessment was typical. "The same information could have been discovered by other means."Let's grant that that may be true, but I'm left with the question "Okay, does could=would? WOULD those plots have been uncovered in time to thwart…See More

Unseen replied to Mike Glickman's discussion 'Is the Universe Infinite or Finite?'"I think both of us are showing that we lack the language to meaningfully examine and talk about such things as infinity and finiteness. These concepts are inventions of mathematics. Pi has more real world meaning than infinity.
However, the…"

Unseen replied to Mike Glickman's discussion 'Is the Universe Infinite or Finite?'"No Higgs boson no mass. Could there be a massless starship? Such a ship might reach the speed of light, but as far as I know that is still a speed limit for just about anything."

With more and more business moving to the Internet (not all of those empty storefronts are due to the economy), it is becoming more and more important to be a smart shopper.
So, you’re about to order that whole bean coffee, book, or external hard drive off Amazon, Newegg, or eBay and you see what you want has 4.5 out of 5 stars. Is this good?
Well, it depends. Does it have 5 ratings or 500? The lower the number of ratings, the more likely they were put there by the seller or…
Continue The Sins Of Texas

If God sends hurricanes to punish Miami and New Orleans for their sinful ways, it's time for Texas to do some soul searching given the preview of hellfire they are getting now. Maybe it's due to Gov. Perry's alleged closeted homosexuality and infidelities. Woe betide Texas!
The magic returns to science
Posted on August 10, 2011 at 1:07am 3 Comments 2 Likes
When I was in my youth, the world belonged to Aristotle as the father of hard-edged, logical, empirical science. Plato represented a view that the world of the senses is actually not real at all, but is just a reflection of a greatly different ultimate reality.
That was in the 1970's. A lot has happened since then in terms of our understanding of reality and it has implications for the relation of science and religion.
Christians like to say that science feels…

Your comments and those of the other prominent posters make me feel like I have found a place for clear thinking. Thanks for your posts, even the snarky ones. Cheers!
