and then you reach the elementary particles that cannot be cut any further, no matter how powerful your atom-smasher.

The study of quantum physics is revealing, that, below the atomic level, is a whole, another, ever-deepening level, of sub-atomic particles, the first being light/energy, which of course can be split, and then further beyond the light/energy particles, there’s intentions, thoughts, actions, plans, etc. of which, can be broken up through intellectual debate into more pieces, and, at the rate debates like these are going, they, can go on for an eternity.

I have my own alternate theory to explain the Quantum Physics findings, but since I am not a physicist it has zero chance of going anywhere.

What kind of knife are you going to use to cut the atoms of a carrot?

It’s called an atom smasher.

Since, our, consciousness can judge, that cutting a carrot – or any other substance – in half, can be done into an infinity and never be destroyed, it, our consciousness, itself, has to be at least as superior or better than what it judges.

In looking for the answers, one cannot be cognizant, of more, than what one is able to judge from the visible.
Quantum physics, has allowed us to see further, below the subatomic level, even though, prior to this new insight, we instinctively knew it had to be there, based on what we know about science.

Actually, the proper quote is “the LOVE of money is the root of all evil.” Money is not inherently evil.

So does that mean that what you choose to observe or not observe means you can manipulate (in theory) your reality. If you were smart enough you could apply principles that would allow you to sort of steer your own time line?

Maybe more thsn The Hitchhiker’s Guide we should be talking about this phenomenon in relationship to The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. Maybe we have finally stepped into the Twilight Zone. do do… do do…do do….do do.

Atheists deny that, anything, exists beyond their understanding of time/space in relation to their own existence.

This is your strawman. Atheists do not believe in the existence of a supreme being. Period.

There are many things that we do not understand. We just don’t invent god to try to explain them. We look for the real answers.

Maybe Freud was right about some stuff.

Sometimes the Universe you’re in is the Universe you’re in :-)

Islamists: The impossible is possible, if Allah wills it at any given moment! I could get laid!

Dodgy Scientists: The impossible is possible, in some alternate universe, maybe! With different rules and stuff. I could get laid!

Maybe Freud was right about some stuff.

The last time I heard something that politically tone-deaf from a Republican campaign was when Reagan called “Born in the U.S.A.

An odd way to get to this topic, but why not? Today when putting down papers for the dogs to poop on, I made sure the pic of Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters was on top. Apparently the Foo played some shows and toured a bit with candidate John F. Kerry only in response to the “misappropriating” of their song “There Goes My Hero” at some conservative rally.

I remember Grohl saying something to that effect in an interview: he really didn’t know much about Kerry, he was just reacting against the other guy. Whatever. My house is now a Foo-free zone.

I hate that bastard.

I own many iPhones.

Does this mean you’ll quit whining about it?

….as one minute is a finite measure of time.

It depends on how fast you’re going.

There is no science behind this at all. It is entirely wishful thinking. Mathematical theories backed by observation? Not any of a kind which provide evidence of the unseen.

…

There is a Creator of this one universe, like it or not.

So you dismiss alternative dimensions because “there’s no science behind it,” “there’s no mathematical theories backed by observation” and “no evidence” and then… claim there’s one Creator, based on what exactly?

(Spoiler warning!)

Well, everything is finite.

You can cut a minute in half, and half again, and again…seemingly for an eternity. But that minute does go by, and onto the next.

Yet you can only fold a piece of paper in half 7 times, go figure.

I think we’re not much improved by your advice.
