If i observe a star that is one billion light years away, I am looking a REAL TIME scientific data that is one billion years old. Na-na na-na boo-boo

If science cannot give proofs on social morals then how it can give proofs on certain human feelings like love, hate, etc. Social morals are dependent over human feelings and emotions.

IATIA Wrote: Yes.
Only “yes” is not sufficient. Evidence please!

IATIA Wrote: There is no such thing.
"The laws of science, as we know them at present, contain many FUNDAMENTAL NUMBERS, like the size of the electric charge of the electron and the ratio of the masses of the proton and the electron. ... The remarkable fact is that the values of these numbers seem to have been VERY FINELY ADJUSTED to make possible the DEVELOPMENT OF LIFE."

If I thought you were truly interested, I would be more than willing to help out, but I think you already have your mind made up. A correct answer is found in volumes of books. Much more than a forum can deal with or that you would bother to read.(February 15, 2015 at 10:02 pm)IATIA Wrote: Harris Wrote: Can Science explain why we require sleep?
IATIA Wrote: Yes.

Yes(s) and No(s) are not sufficient. EVIDENCE PLEASE!
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
