Can we say “ad hoc hypothesis” all together now?

He's not even pushing a hypothesis, in science a hypothesis has to be able to describe witnessed phenomena to a reasonable extent. What he is pushing is unevidenced, disproven assertions.

In fairness...there's nothing wrong with a god made of matter. Gods must be made of something. Why not matter?
Familiar matter, exotic matter, it hardly makes a difference. Sure - there are a ton of other claims a person might want to make about a god that wouldn't work for matter - but who cares? If everything were made of matter than god would be made of matter too, perforce. I think that it's refreshing to find a believer who thinks that gods and souls are made of stuff that actually exists in the universe.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I don't object to the notions that gods can be made of matter. My objection is that Winter seems to think gods can be made of electrons and protons and still not be made of matter. Boru

He believes in magic. A thing can be made of matter and not-matter at the same time by magic.

The consequences vary from internet trolling to boyfriends beating the shit out of their girlfriends or a drunk father murdering his family. I'll watch my attitude if I were you, and respect people who "admit they were wrong and try again".
Seen this movie many times, though it was usually a Christian nutjob, not a Muslim. Same dish, different flavor. Winter, you are debating (arguing) with a bunch of science-loving heathens. If you take the position that science is wrong about some very fundamental things, or that there is some sort of new science, or really anything not generally accepted as scientific consensus, then you are not going to be taken seriously. It's a non-starter. Just as if one of us went on an Islam forum and started arguing about some aspect of Islam while being ignorant of the Quran or some other aspect of the religion. You can argue that the soul exists all day, but the moment you say something nutty like plasma is not matter, then you have lost the crowd.
I think there's more actual valid debate to be had in grand nudger's assertion. Why can't god be made of matter? Anyone here read the SF novel Calculating God, by Robert Sawyer. Not the best novel but a decent read with a decent premise, that god is a matter-based entity that survives the collapse of the universe and has a hand in creating the next one.
Why is it so?

When I fall or become really tired, I look for medicine:I don't care who made it, but I would be furious if an asshole with a corrupted soul "banned it" from me. |
