This is actually true in a more literal sense than most people realize. Take the checker shadow illusion, for example.
Checkershadow Illusion (Make sure you click the proof button and "more evidence" if you don't believe it!)
She wasn't necessarily talking into it, she would have had to hold the device to her ear to hear anything out of it. (No ear pieces back then)
As for the guy on the bridge, he was certainly conspicuous, but everything he was wearing was available at that time. He was just an unusual guy, I suppose.
I came across a time travel movie yesterday called "Predestination". It released earlier this year but pretty much slipped under the radar. Wikipedia tells me it's based on Robert A. Heinlein's short story "All You Zombies".
It's a pretty slow movie that relies heavily on story, not action...
Hey, never confuse an Englishman with one of those cheese-eating surrender monkeys. The travesty! :eek:
Everyone knows arguing 'till you're blue in the face is a British trait. The French just turn tail and run.
That was a British joke. :D
I would see what we're doing now as somewhere in between. It mostly doesn't feel hostile enough to be an argument, but we both seem to be trying to convince the other person of something, so it's not really a conversation either. Debate seems to fit the most, in...
There's a difference? :p
Okay, so, you think I'm being ignorant about something. Could you explain what exactly I'm being ignorant about, and how it pertains to this discussion/debate/conversation?
eg., Why is what you believe important to whether or not you should be free to believe in it...
Also, for the people wondering why this debate is still going it's because:
a) I'm British, and we enjoy arguing for the sake of arguing.
b) The mind is a muscle in a certain sense, and this is one of the ways I exercise it.
c) Sometimes people do actually present a point eloquently enough that...
Firstly, I will admit I made an assumption here as to the exact nature of your beliefs, and I apologize for that.
"Well , do you know that my god is your god is his god is all god?
God is God regardless."
Those are your exact words. You are asserting that any god or goddess anyone else...
Please do me the courtesy of quoting where I actually said that, like I did for you, because looking back I don't see anywhere where I told you what you believe.
Just for the sake of clearing up your confusion, I'll reply to this. I don't believe in any gods or goddesses. Therefore I don't believe the god you believe in exists. I don't believe any of the gods or goddesses anyone believes in exists. As Harte mentioned above, saying "your god" (note the...
While I don't believe in a soul or afterlife per-se, there is one thing I've always wondered about. Since my belief is that consciousness arises from the brain, what happens if you take apart my constituent atoms and reassemble them somewhere else in exactly the same pattern? I think the...
And I think this is where I bow out of this discussion. When your debate partner starts to twist your own words and outright lie about and ignore what they themselves said, it's time to accept that they aren't open to discussion any more. And he has the gall to say the atheist is the problem...
