The slow thinning is cell phone radiation degrading immune systems, increasing infertility and leading to a lower life expectancy.Except that phones don't cause those things.

Can science prove God exists?
Quote from: davidwilliams on 25/06/2019 11:45:15Can science prove God exists?No. Something that is important to understand is that science is not about proving things. Science has never actually proved any theory in fact. It's just not geared to do anything like that. Science is about observing nature and coming up with theories that can be used to make predictions about the phenomena it was designed to observe, i.e. to "explain." Religion is much worse at this, infinitely worse in fact. No religion on Earlh can prove God exists. All religions postulate that God exists and not one of them have a good reason for doing so. Does God exist? Maybe. Keep seeking - That's the best thing to do.
In order for the thinning to take place, people must not realize the danger. So Bored Chemist is helping God by telling others that cell phones are quite safe and that those who claim otherwise are nutters. Good job - keep going.
You cannot use machines and devices to get repeatable observations of a communication from God.
The smartest (those who realize the dangers)
My observations explain the Prime Cause, the apparent Intelligent Design, and the mysterious happenings involving psychic events.
Try to find a contradiction in my theory.
Most religions accept the concept of a soul,
Unbreakable laws of physics cannot explain my experiences.
Trying to use my cell phone. Good should be God in two places. I see that the auto edit changed it here as well.
Clive - I disagree strongly. But I don't wish to discuss religion. I just wanted to respond to the question posed and put my two cents in. I never would have done so had I not had a strong grasp of world religions. I studied them throughout my lifetime. Especially in college and my won self study. Read the Bible twice cover to cover very carefully. Will repeat a few more times.That's all I have to say on your response.
At some point in the far distant past the earth did not exist. That means that the bible, or for that matter any other religious text, did not exist.For millions of years humans did not exist. Many other species did. Language as we know it took an awfully long time to develop. It preceded a written version of language by quite a long time.So which religious text is the 'right' one? It would be arrogant of Christians to think it is theirs. Or even hebrews.The affairs of man started with many gods. Usually based upon constellations. The unknown in other words. Mankind has a huge imagination with tiny insight.And here we are. Debating with our tiny insight.
Can science prove the existence of God? (If one does an analysis of data to sort out noise similar to the analyzing of data from radio telescopes then science can pronounce that there is a decent possibility of a God).

No fear of the afterlife, eh?
Take it from someone with experience. Although I experienced the nice section of the afterlife, I
Many of the poor and the dispossessed benefit most from the words of God.
Your illogical comments never cease to amaze me.

What kind of data can decrease the possibility of gods?
Do they tend to guess an answer if they are unsure?

On last week's podcast, Chris mentioned a sibling show, Naked Reflections.Each week, it takes a science story from Naked Scientists, and has a look at the implications for society.They try to look at the topic from a variety of viewpoints (including religious viewpoints).If anything, it might help us see things from another person's viewpoint.See: https://www.thenakedscientists.com/podcasts/naked-reflections

Until fairly recently, tribal mores in South Africa dictated that one could not say "No" to a superior. Asked if he could drive a bulldozer a man replied "Yes" - you can imagine the damage he caused before the supervisor found out the man had not a clue and never even sat in one.Which is why I stress "intelligent design" of the filters.BTW - In my opinion, you would never get past the first pass of screening out those who shoot from the lip before engaging the brain. Not being nasty - just my assessment to give you an example you might relate to.
