    Why would anybody want a .eu address, unless they had an Islamic Terrorist site? Europe is dying.

    That is completely correct. Samsung makes the phone. Or motorola. Or LG. Even the google branded phones are made by somebody else.

    Some of us are truly bitter that the Apple II line wasn't continued still- back when Apple was still a technology company, not a "Queer eye for the computer guy" company.

  6. Not to mention the new law that holds online companies liable for anything resembling sex trafficking......funny how Congress passed a law that Trump has not yet signed, and it still gets enforced long before it goes into effect. I guess you can use greed against lust to enforce morality.

  7. It's amazing how President Trump can not yet sign a law, but have it go into effect. Must be a time traveler.

    Apple doesn't make SoC's. They hire others to do it for them. Apple is a marketing firm, nothing more.

    If eyewitness testimony is unreliable, then all of science is bunk, because it's all based on eyewitness testimony and anecdotal evidence. Every single laboratory experiment is eyewitness testimony, a carefully controlled anecdote to reach predetermined conclusions.

    Actually, no, I am not. You are. You are the one who eliminates some eyewitness data but not others at random.

    It does not matter who created God for God to exist, it's just a red herring by people who refuse to conform their personal lives to an objective morality.

    As for Occam, well, he was just another stupid reductionist to me- yet another bigot ignoring evidence because of an emotional response to the evidence.

    We don't accept that a suspect's DNA matches the blood found at a crime seen based on a police detective's word; we accept it because it can be verified through empirical methods.

    But you accept that those methods are empirical on the basis of some police laboratory's word that they are empirical.

    They went and tested the theory against experimental evidence.
     
    That just adds more testimony to the chain, it doesn't change the fact that the results of the experiment are reported by testimony.
     
      As to the supernatural/immaterial, I am reminded of Thomas Paine's rebuttal of miraculous claims: "We have never seen, in our time, nature go out of her course. Is it more probable that nature should go out of her course, or that a man should tell a lie?"
     
    The supernatural contains the natural, and is decidedly NOT unnatural, so why would you expect that nature needs to go out of her course to prove the supernatural? Rather, it is the fact that nature has a course at all, set by the supernatural, that proves that the supernatural exists.

    ALL human evidence is testimony, whether it is the testimony of a data file in a computer, or the testimony of a notebook in a laboratory, or the testimony of an eyewitness in the world. Testimony is just another word for observation, and without observation, science is worthless.

    The real evidence for God is in the scientific method itself. Order is not necessary, but order exists instead of chaos. Existence is not necessary. Movement is not necessary. Time is not necessary. Answering the question WHY instead of HOW. There is a reason why Einstein had a favorite priest, maybe you should go look that one up for yourself.

    Once you understand that a watch needs a watchmaker, a book needs an author, and that DNA is just a computer, all the local suspensions of entropy point to only one conclusion. A conclusion that you would rather eliminate the evidence of through prejudice and bigotry, than look at.
