What do scientists say about existence?

[Cyberman]

Nobody cares what scientists say about anything. All that matters is what the science says.

Dear atheists here, do you notice that up to this point in time you have not said anything at all in regard to the topic of the thread which is what scientists say about existence?

Dear Mariosep, did you notice that this isn't a science newspaper, and you aren't writing letters to the fucking editor?

Acquired Intelligence Deficiency Syndrome.

Wait. . . did you just re-tool the acronym AIDS to use as an insult for people who don't want to talk about your fairy tale? Holy shitballs, you're a fucking dick, aren't you?

What do scientists say about existence?

They point out the window and say, "Hey, look: Existence!"

I'm not going to reproduce your drivel, especially as it boils down to "the more stupid I talk, the more I prove god". But seriously mariosep, stop insulting us over being more intelligent, more curious and more sceptical than you are.

Frankly why do you periodically troll here, seeing as it is causing you so much anger and mental trauma? Would it not be better for you to stick to your unthinking and incurious kind?

Or as Boswell quoted Johnson:

After we came out of the church, we stood talking for some time together of Bishop Berkeley's ingenious sophistry to prove the nonexistence of matter, and that every thing in the universe is merely ideal. I observed, that though we are satisfied his doctrine is not true, it is impossible to refute it. I never shall forget the alacrity with which Johnson answered, striking his foot with mighty force against a large stone, till he rebounded from it -- "I refute it thus."

Dear Mariosep,

Once upon a time there was a little house in the middle of NOWHERE, Atlantis. There lived Mary-moo Cow, George, Rufus, and Kami-chan. They were often visited by Noodles, Winter, Pink Friday (PF), and NNY.

One day Rufus went out to saddle Mary-moo Cow and take her for a ride. So with his bright pink shirt glowing in the sun he took Mary-moo Cow out to a patch of grass for a brisky mornin' munchin'. Meanwhile, George set about making some waffles. Today they were blueberry. Kami-chan was busy trying to wash some spoons in pineapple juice.
'I've always liked the smell of pineapples and waffles in the morning,' commented Kami to George.

'Would you like to lick the bowl?' asked George.

'Does it have leftover waffle liquid and pink tree leaves that taste like tropical cheese?' asked Kami.

'Of course!' said George, 'Why wouldn't it?'

'Well, maybe he bees have stung them...VAPORIZATION!!!!!!!' she yelled.

At Kami-chan's yells some purple pygmy birds took flight and landed on George's shoulder. He nodded knowingly and hung a clock up outside.

'But you don't have to worry Kami-chan,' said he, 'there hasn't been a bee sighting in over an hour!'

Kami-chan took comfort from this and set about licking the bowl. When she was done she went to the door and screamed. 'RUFUS! WAFFLES! THEY'RE BLUEBERRY!'
On the horizon a little pink and black dot got larger and larger...it was Rufus speeding towards them on Mary-moo Cow's back. When Rufus reached the house he put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a treasure chest.

'Look what I found,' he said proudly.

Just then, enlarging the size of her mouth, Mary-moo Cow ate it in one bite.

'Better go get the plunger!' ordered Kami-chan. All of a sudden, a tree fell over. 'Nevermind,' she said then, 'the carnivorous hippos took care of that one.'
For a moment they all nodded in silent agreement and sat down to eat their waffles.

WHICH WERE BLUEBERRY!

[ From Dawkins] “I have no intention of assisting Craig in his relentless drive for self-promotion,” he said.

Some of Prof Dawkins’s contemporaries are not impressed. Dr Daniel Came, a philosophy lecturer and fellow atheist, from Worcester College, Oxford, wrote to him urging him to reconsider his refusal to debate the existence of God with Prof Craig.

In a letter to Prof Dawkins, Dr Came said: “The absence of a debate with the foremost apologist for Christian theism is a glaring omission on your CV and is of course apt to be interpreted as cowardice on your part.

Craig is a "philosopher" who denies the Number Zero:

Why should Dawkins debate him?

As for the Universe and existence, watch the debate between Professor Sean Carroll and Craig -- maybe the Cosmos is simply eternal, beginningless and endless?

To me, Dawkins debating Craig would be akin to me debating the finer points of my job with a moron wielding a plastic spork.
