Many views are the same people returning to look again. I haven't voted.

In my case, nuts ........ as a fruit cake.

The yellow bouncing flabby thing is so utterly cute and annoying at the same time. I just can't stop looking at it! Help me!

I will have to label myself as atheist, though since becoming atheist, I have always had a problem with this 'label'.

My problem being that in saying I am an atheist, I am, somehow, actually labelling myself agnostic.

I'll try to explain: If I wear an 'atheist' label I must be acknowledging a God I do not believe in. If I wear an 'agnostic' label, I accept the possible existence of a God, but don't really worship him.

I prefer to think of myself as a human (well, almost), a product of physics, chemistry, biology and chance. The only label I wear is a 'best before' label and yes, I passed that date many moons ago.

Oh my god! That biography of yours! You mate, have a lot of humor!

No, you are acknowledging the existence of a word that signifies something nonexistent. It's no more significant than discussing phlogiston, aether, or caloric.

i voted yes, so see you in heaven.

Not being an atheist doesn't mean you go to heaven. In fact in Judaism there is no concept of a heaven that people go to when they die. That's a Christian concept.

Dear Pete,

where do judaism go after?

where we go after? should i follow you?

[alancalverd]

Buddhists are generally heaven-believing atheists.

Dear Alan,

What on Earth do you mean by this? You are seriously making no sense.

decide is photon a real thing or not? i thought young people more likely able to put $ where mouth is.

You cannot just permanently associate your sentiments with a Scientific law or... Or particle(A quantum particle, which we cannot directly observe and only prove with experiments). We only give importance to a certain thing as long as evidence points towards it's existence and relevance. If the evidence changes, we ditch that thing and move on to something new. Right now, evidence points towards the existence of photon... But, if it changes we will ditch it and move on to what the new evidence points towards. Right now I'm inclined to say that it's real, photon is real;
Maybe you'll be the one who introduces us to that new evidence which will make us ditch photon;
I have said it earlier and I'm going to say it again, we respect you sharing your theories on here and as they say philosophy (Theories) leads to experiments, and basically new inventions... But, please don't make us your enemies while doing so. You try to humiliate (In a way) the more experienced and knowledgeable minds on here. For eg., Peter, Alan, Yor on and Colin (I'm sorry if I missed someone). You should discuss your philosophy with them (And let them correct you so that you could fix your theory) rather than being hostile to them, giving them stupid reasons to try MAKE them believe in your philosophy.

^{Or particle(A quantum particle, which we cannot directly observe and only prove with experiments)} When I said this I also wanted to mention how even, what we feel is reality could be merely an illusion (Please don't mention people who have said this before me since I'm not in anyway claiming this is my original thought. PS. I mentioned this whole 'could be an illusion' thing to be explicit). So any thing we know of could be a lie. Basically we just have to have our understanding of the universe based on logical deductions instead of what feels right, Jccc.

i have no enemy, kidding a little is my nature.

glad you picked photon. thanks.

[jccc]

if thebox also believes photon is real deal, i should visit the lake for sure.

Listen... Jccc, please don't give up on your theory. It could be (Although I'm not really qualified enough to say this)... True (My word selection sucks, I know!). Don't give up on it, just keep getting rid of the holes and try to think of an experiment which could prove it's true. Maybe Gravity is the part of the light spectrum as well ( Did I just say the stupidest thing ever?). I mean I would really feel bad if, due to me or anyone on this forum, we would lag behind by a new breakthrough discovery. I want YOU to be sure that it's not real and the moment YOU yourself give up on it (Without our iteration of how wrong it is) then that would be it's end. Because as far as I know, your theory still looks more feasible than photons (To me, and I have said it before). But yet again... -Insert my previous post here-
