I still have to speak slowly to them, while articulating carefully. You make the same mistake Newton testers made.
You try to adapt till the machine "understands" you... but the machine is actually trying to understand you without adapting. With your "articulate carefully" (and changing that articulation daily) you are just a moving target for the machine.
If we are talking CO2, electric car mileage is only as clean as the electricity you use, powering it from a coal plant doesn't generate much or perhaps any CO2 savings. And how do you come to that idiotic idea?
Skipped school early?
ICE have an efficiency of 20% or less. Power plants have an efficiency of ~45%. if all power comes from coal, that makes a battery powered car twice as efficient / half as polluting as an ICE car...
Germany and Poland that rely on non-renewable sources like coal for electricity. Germany does not rely on coal. We produce 40% of our electricity with renewable and ~10% with nuclear power. So coal and gas is less than 50%... how many other countries manage that?
There is no prove that the aether does not exist... wow, that was easy.
I have a pink invisible unicorn in my house. As I only have a small amount of money, I bought a very little one. It fits into the pocket of my jeans. Unfortunately it does not like it. It keeps talking to me I should kiss it, it is a princess, which was magically transformed into a unicorn. She promised me awesome sex, and riches beyond your believes. And a space ship, going minimum to Alpha Centauri and back (the back part was important to me).
Now please _prove_ that I have no such unicorn in my pocket. And as you are on it: please call my GF and explain to her that when I talk to my unicorn, I'm not talking to my *other GF*... because I don't like to kiss the unicorn, but having a pink invisible unicorn talking in my pocket of my trousers is: kind of cool! Isn't it?
As there has NEVER, EVER, been a single solitary piece of evidence EVER of any gods existence.... people who have believed in the delusion of a god have done a fantastically miserable job of even beginning to scratch the surface of proving him/her/it. How do you know that? Are you a god who has a tape recording of every human ever living, and did you have enough time to watch all those tape recordings and do you have the expertise to distinguish all the "miracles" that happened to those people as "divine intervention" or "bad ass luck"?
Sorry, you are an unscientific idiot.
If you want to to argue about something use science, and not unproveble or undisproveble opinions.
You fucking freakenly can not know if there ever was evidence for God(s) and some conspiracy hid them, idiot.
I would not dismiss the Genesis as anti science so easy.
After all, the atom was "mind invented" my the ancient greeks. They had no means to discover or prove it. Nevertheless they were right.
I'm to lazy to look up an internet source. But the Genesis starts more or less like this: "There was a nothingness. Then God said: 'their should be light'. And hence there was light."
If that is not "a big bang" then actually: what is it?
it's just that they don't have any objective reason for living moral lives. Actually we have, the oldest that spontaneously comes to mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
From an atheistic worldview, it has to come down to personal preference. My personal preference is pretty simple: I don't do to others what I don't want to do to me. Do I need a god to sign for this?
except for the virgin girls, who will then be our sexual slaves. No they wont. Because after having intercourse 5 consecutive days, or 4 weeks, depending on culture: they are your wives.
Number 7 - Thou shalt not commit adultery That is double wrong. It is not number 7 and adultery is a mistranslation. In German we say "break the marriage", which translates to english in having sex outside of the marriage. No idea how "adultery" as "break the marriage" as in "having sex outside of the marriage" moved into the english translation.
However it actually means the literal meaning: don't break the oath of marriage.
You gave your wife/husband the oath to care for her/him for the rest of his/her life. Don't break that oath. It has nothing to do with sex outside of marriage. It would be completely idiotic to assume that in a society where men had many wives - and if you remember the "Sin of Onan" - were supposed to marry the widows of her deceased brothers, that the original wording was "adultery".
Oh bullshit. Killing the nonbeliever has been modus operandi of religion for millennia. FYI: nonbeliever = wrong thinking.
Two millennia.
For all what we know: the Christians started it.
Before that a greek trader, praying and offering to Poseidon to have a safe passage to Carthago, would simply ask there: and what is your god of the seas? The answer would perhaps be Melkart, and so he would sacrifice to Melkart for a safe passage home. It is as simple as that.
Before Christianity, wars on other religions were extremely rare. Usually Religion equals Culture/Nation, as e.g. still in our days in case of the Jews. So if you wanted to kill the Carthagers/Phoenicians, it was not a war on their religion, that would have been pointless.
You are basing that on the assumption the Jesus existed; something we have no proof of either.
How retarded are you? As we have the written court records, obviously we know he existed. Or do you want to claim that Cesar did not exist, or god forbid: Paulus?
- and voilÃ, you have a time machine: go forward or backward in time depending on which direction you choose to pass through. You haven't. You have a time/space machine. And while passing through it you move in space... good luck to get to the space "in time" where you wanted to be. And you as well move in time just ordinarily as the traversal through the WH puts you under the same changes of space time curvation like traveling with other means.
A time machine strictly speaking means: I want to be in London 1800 to the sylvester party. The solar system and hence earth and hence London was somewhere else at that time. Good luck to find a force free travel path through space time from my current location in the Universe to that _location_
It is not the time travel that is the problem, that is probably super easy: but covering the 0.5 light years the earth has traveled in the mean time...
According to Christian/Jewish Mythology, you don't have to believe in god. You only are required: a) to worship him b) not to worship any other god (pretty clear indication that HE is not the only one)
Against popular believe, and contradiction your knowledge about ancient gods, there never were child sacrifices in the keltic, germanic, greek/roman pantheons and most likely not in the Egypt, Sumerians either.
The only child sacrifice we know about is the one mentioned on the bible...
And then again we have those south americans...
Religion is vile and disgusting, and those who advocate it are a scourge on mankind. So your religion is to be anti religious?
Seems not to help, as a good deal of mankind has a "special brain region" that makes them emphatic for religions. Do you want to euthanize all of them?
The old gods are either extra terrestrial, we have evidence for that, or survivors of an ancient civilization that did not made it through the last "ice age", we have evidence for that, too.
Your lack of "knowledge" simply shows you never dug into the past/history of mankind. Does that make the aforementioned possibilities gods? No, certainly not.
For 90% of "somewhat recorded" human history: "science and religion is the same".
Or do you think the islamic and jewish idea that you should not eat animals that bath in their on shit is a religion based commandment and not a scientific observation? Or that you should not cook milk based food and fish together?
not only are we hacking code in a system we barely grasp the system and the code we can't even properly test the results. That is what hacking is about. If we already knew everything, we would not need to hack at it!!
His stance on God does not interest me at the slightest. As I'm an atheist, I don't care about other peoples believes, faith, none believes or none faiths. Neither does he.
If I ever had met him, we most certainly never had talked about anything with "God" in its name except perhaps the latest "Thor movie".
Yeah, not wrong. But you seem not to know that the jewish god is the same god. Which part of old and new testament did you not grasp yet? And you seem not to know that the muslim god, uh oh, is the same god, too!!
So: you are wrong.
There are half a dozen other religions (minimum!) that follow "the same god".
Regardless if you are an Atheist, Christian, Jew or what ever: this is one of the most simplest things you should know, or for funk sakes, stay out of discussions about religions and gods!
No, the real problem is that some people don't realize that it is fiction. Yeah, sure.
You can put your self into the group of religious guys you seem to hate so much.
Fact 1: the later israelites lived in Egypt, and migrated to "Israel". Fact 2: Babylon forces conquered "Israel" and deported some 30k Israelites to Babylon.
That is written in the Bible. So, why do we know it is a historical fact? Because it is written all over the places of all the old civilizations there.
Up to you to figure which parts are "fiction" and which parts are "science" or "history".
I for my part, don't care. But you seem to. However obviously you don't care enough to know the "truth".
Declaring that everything in the bible is fiction, is either complete idiocy, or a lie. Pick your part.

Which part of: slash and burn, did work for millennia, did you not grasp?
As log as the areas are relatively small, it works perfectly. As dozens if not hundreds of midle/south american cultures show us.
Germany is not building coal powered plants.
The last ones went online 5 years ago, replacing less efficient units.
And two of the "new coal plants" are already offline again because they can not compete with renewables, idiot.
There is no prove that the aether does not exist ... wow, that was easy.

No it did not disprove the existence of the aether.
Why the funk would it?
And actually we have new theories/hypothesises that something like the aether actually is there ...
I'm not at all certain Allah is the same God, nor that Islam is compatible with Christianity. Not at all
...
Then go back to school

Interesting that, if I recall correctly, his "Brief History of Time" and other published works mentioned that it allowed for the possibility of a God.
He did not write about "Gods" in "Brief History of Time". Why would he?
The only few occasions where he mentions "Gods" is when he is explicitly asked.
He is a modern "saint" of atheism.
No he is not.
He is a Physicist, and a Cosmologue.
His stance on God does not interest me at the slightest. As I'm an atheist, I don't care about other peoples believes, faith, none believes or none faiths. Neither does he.
