Still, I’m more bothered by the apostrophe in “Standing on It’s Own”–doesn’t this news station have editors?

The electrical sockets? Ha ha ha ha ha ha….

Please, please, please teach science in schools.

I’m pretty sure South Park parodied the “Everyone who’s seen the leprechaun say Yaaay” part of the other video, but I had never seen the source before. Now I want to know if I can actually go back and prove that South Park parodied it.

jimmy- Are you THE Jim-may? LOL! Do you have the title (or link) to that South Park episode? My first thought was “So sayeth The Spider.” from South Park’s “Red Hot Catholic Love” episode.

Why? Atheists are no less guilty of pure, belligerent idiocy.

Maybe next you’ll show us how empiricism and logical positivism leads to a coherent, complete metaphysics. Oh wait.

Pretty savvy argument dude.

It’s the Mach vs Eddington debate.

I weigh in on the Godel and Eddington side of the equation. Einstein thought he was a Machian and by the end of his life realized that his whole theory of relativity was based on metaphysical principles and intuitions and have nothing to due with Mach’s positivistic influence at all. Mach was part of the inspiration for the Vienna Circle (Godel was a memeber and wasn’t buying any of it). Later Godel blew that chit out of the water in the most explosive way possible. Godel was the silent genius (who was quietly plotting to hammer them) at the Vienna Circle meetings and those idiots didn’t even know it. It is not even clear now if Wittgenstein adhered to what they were saying. Buy he was still their God. So Funny.

Any outside observer at the time (1920s) could see that Einstein was conflicted about the philosophical genesis of his theories. Later however he saw the light and came out sounding like a unrepentant Platonist metaphysician. Einstein resolved it completely and expressed his transformation in many writings of a philosophical nature. Epistemology is the focus point for many good physicists and Albert was obsessed with it.

LOL! a lot!

Exit question: You guys realize that this clip is pure heroin to atheists, right?

Wow, one passing joke about the “holy spirit” and suddenly this is ripe for mocking by atheists?

All respect to Allahpundit, of course, but, in this case, it does seem that he hasn’t heard of Gödel or the phrase “incompleteness theorem.”

Understandable. Breathless stories about scientists “creating life” in a laboratory is the same to us theists. ;)

A palate cleanser via Videogum and Red Eye’s own Andy Levy, declaring this to be the absolute pinnacle of its genre. He’s wrong — this is the pinnacle — but he’s not far off the mark. What are the odds, my friends, that the bottom of a stiff-bristled broom would be so uniformly flat as to let it stand on its own? One in, er, 100, maybe? Or is it silly to ask about probability where the hand of the Holy Spirit is so clearly at work?

Too bad they didn’t bring in a scientific expert to help crack this nut. Like, say, any local high-school physics student. Exit question: You guys realize that this clip is pure heroin to atheists, right? – by Allahpundit

Well, since athiesm doesn’t really exist, I reject the premise of your “exit” question.
