when i go back and read those threads i cant help but think how retarded some of the arguments were. After reading some molecular biology and genetics i somewhat except evolution, and i dont think divine creation is needed. i do however, think that mutations cannot be the driving force, the cambrian explosion is also a problem. i certainly agree with natural selection and microevolution. the debate lies in the mechanism and gradual evolution is wrong(punctuations).
however, not to offend NEO but some of his arguments were bannanas. like matter could be eternal. like the big bang doesnt mention light beams(electromagnetic radiation, or fundamentally photons) among some other funny ones. im not trying to start the debate agian, but i just think some of the stuff we argued about was pretty funny. when i brought up kent hovind was another good one.i guess depending on what kind of mood he's in he'll either rip me or joke around

OZMO- you asked me about what the bleep. i read the book, physics of the soul, it was rather disappointing, mostly bullshit sanskrit and energy bodies with a little physics. however, ill give you a brief answer, if you want a more detailed one it would be no problem. from quantum eraser experiments and from the double slit experiment light or photons(quatisized light) showed that observation of photons caused them to act differently. the photoelectric effect shows that photons/electrons etc have a wave/particle duality. what does this implicate, well the double slit showed that without observation photons behaved as waves(waves of probability) causing a interference pattern similar to a wave(basically just markings on a screen like a wave). however, while the experiment was observed by detectors the photons acted as particles, as if it knew it was being observed(the detectors were retroactive). and the interference pattern was that of particles(just two markings, not a barrage of markings like a wave). the quatum eraser experiment showed that light beams that were seperated(by calcite crystals) could communicate at superluminal(faster then light) speed and non-locally(instantaneously). thus it seems light can communicate, also, obervation causes changes in the actions of the photons. this has come to be known as collasping the wave function. this has lead some to purport the question, if consciousnous collapses our reality, what collapses the universe. two theories have been put forth, GOD or multiverse.
it seems we have the king midas curse, he couldnt experience silk, human because it turned to gold, we cannot experience true reality because everything we touch turns to matter.
there are a couple of super interesting experiments i can outline regarding this topic if you want. and schodengers cat is another interesting paradox that has not been solved.
