My wife is very empathetic and has had a difficult time buying the idea that there could be so much evil and the media is protecting/perpetuating the evil.
Then we got Covid (confirmed positive tests, yes). And we took ivermectin. It helped me get mostly better after only 10 hours of being real sick. Similar experience to Joe Rogan. For her she took it, was getting better, then secretly stopped taking it because she didn’t fully buy what I had told her about it. Then she got worse and worse while I got better. Two days later she said she’d take it again… and within an hour her symptoms went down. This morning (18 hrs later) she seems to be almost over it all.
I showed her that great doc on the history of ivermectin and she’s now finally taken the red pill because she experienced how this drug really does work and if people are suppressing it then… well… evil… and she’s now pissed about it… first major red pill.
Sheesh , you’re a bitter soul fishy.
Seeing people used and getting their money extracted via tithes, all based on unfalsifiable claims, is bound to make any moral person bitter.
There is a huge difference between believing in God and belonging to organized religion. I do not participate in organized religion, but I firmly believe in God. Money and power corrupts organized religion, just as it does with corporations and any large collection of people. To ignore the possibility of religion because you have seen no evidence is not a scientific mindset. A true scientific mind does not have preconceived ideas of the outcome without data. Things we cannot observe are theorized and discussed until a method of observation and study is possible. The odds of all the universe creating itself by pure chance is virtually impossible. Albert Einstein even stated this exact same concept. The random chance became less likely as his level of understanding grew. He began to see that there are so many variables that the odds of it happening by itself was ridiculous.
That is true. However it does not change the fact that there is no compelling, falsifiable evidence for the existence of god. Whereas we already have workable theories (preponderance of evidence based on science and facts) that demonstrate how the universe, life, and diversity of life came to be. Big bang theory, abiogenesis, and evolution respectively.
For religion and consequently god to be possible, you must first demonstrate it to be possible. That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Exactly. There needs to be precedent, of which we have none for the supernatural, and data, of which there is none for the supernatural.
But that doesn't make them true, any more than body thetons from Scientology are true. And they even have a supposed device for measuring them. But it's not based on science. Until then, such things belong in the realm of fiction.
Yet here we are. The odds that your day would proceed precisely as it did today is also virtually impossible, yet you did it.
I don't know if this is true and it doesn't matter anyway. Science does not have authorities whose word is law. Just because Einstein or anyone else said something, doesn't make it true. The next two sentences I quoted are basically a repeat of the quote above. No matter how unlikely, it still happened. Unless you can scientifically demonstrate it is 100% impossible, the odds are meaningless and not a valid argument for a god of the gaps fallacy.
Theories are formed from observation and the generation of possible causation. We theorize about gravity, but we cannot quantify it, observe it or measure it. We can only measure its effects. If you dismiss anything without evidence, then you must dismiss gravity, black holes, quarks, pair production and pair annihilation etc. Etc. Etc. All theories are possible until proven or disproven. Your dismissal is not scientific, it is exactly the opposite. Dismissal of another persons theories without evidence is a negative and hostile stance. If you can disprove it, you present your facts, make your point and move on. They don't even have to agree with you. Science doesn't care, it just is.
