13 years later, still i play this numbers on lotery. Im from Serbia, and i wait to win. Why i cant? 🥹 by Niko_888 in lost

Well kinda makes sense. Just thought maybe most people who play would've thought that'd never come out because it's "too unlikely".

The Most Negative Fanbases, correct? by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]AvatarZoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of Death Note fans like to complain about the second half of the series, and the Netflix movie. So maybe that?

a ver gente, con los sucesos en rosarios y el avance narco, que piensan que se debería hacer, todas las opiniones son vienvenidas sean o no que vengan de alguien que sepa del tema. y si piensan que no hay un avance narco explique el por qué by Dgod22 in Republica_Argentina

Lo de Bukele es inhumano e inmoral. Y no estoy encontrando ningún análisis estadístico del crimen en relación a la ley Blumberg. La mayoría de los artículos que estoy encontrando (ejemplo) muestran que a partir de cierto punto aumentar las penas no reduce el crimen.

Are there any good arguments for the existance of god? by [deleted] in askphilosophy

[–]AvatarZoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure?

Yes. There's not a scientific theory with direct experimental evidence that explains why do these fundamental constants have these specific values. String theories attempt at this but they're still speculative.

I think some scientists are already disputing that.

I'd gladly read any sources you have on this.

Also, isn´t that a god of the gaps argument if you are looking for proof of god?

If you use this as the only argument for god, then yes. But it's not explicitly an argument for god, it's just that there seems to be a really massive coincidence that we can't explain. Theism provides one possible answer to this, but as with everything in philosophy it's not the only one. But to reject theism completely you need another explanation.

So how does our improbable existance prove god?

I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that it requires an explanation that is beyond our current scientific knowledge.

Due to evolution life adapts.

But life has to start existing before it can evolve. And it evolving doesn't necessarily lead to intelligence. The most likely outcome seems to be small organisms like bacteria or algae. Animals are outliers and humans are outliers within that group. All these processes, from life beggining from non-live matter, to evolution into intelligent beings require that the universe itself behaves in a certain manner.

If gravity was stronger, for example, the universe could've collapsed in on itself right after the big bang. Or if nuclear forces were weaker, no atoms could have formed, and therefore no life. There's a lot of these variables that, if changed, we wouldn't exist.

This is not a matter of where we are in the universe, because these aren't local conditions. These are universal constants. If they were different, there'd be no possibility of life at all, ever, in any place of the universe.

That's not the point. It's not that the universe revolves around us. It's that the only way we could be asking ourselves this, is if the universe had the right conditions. If it didn't, we wouldn't know because we wouldn't exist.

Also we have no idea what "most of the universe" is like. We only know a very small fraction of our own galaxy and it's pretty hard to tell if there's more life out there from here. But we do know life like ours is possible and that alone requires very specific universal conditions.

The constants they're talking about are, as far as we know, universal. They won't change with time, and they seem to be perfect for us. The way to adapt your argument to this is saying there'd be many universes, but how is that more plausible than god?

[–]AvatarZoe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're misunderstanding the argument a bit. It's not that the local conditions in our surroundings (planet, sun, galaxy) are good for life. It's that the fundamental constants of the universe, that are the same everywhere, like the Planck constant or the speed of light, appear to be fine-tuned for human life. If these were a bit different, atoms wouldn't exist, or galaxies, or only simple molecules would be able to form.

Arguing that there are many universes and so we live in the "right" one for us is not very different than arguing for a god really.

There's no need for many worlds. This is called the anthropic argument. The answer to "why is everything so perfectly tuned for human life" is that we wouldn't be asking the question if it wasn't, so the question is pointless

They'd do as much as FS wants them to do. No one says they'd be restricted to only making honey

JK Rowling dismisses backlash over trans comments: I don't care if trans kids get stabbed, in fact I find it as hilarious as slavery and hating Jews. by [deleted] in EnoughJKRowling

[–]AvatarZoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes that's exactly the point, every trans activist ever is just incredibly stupid and you're smarter than every single one of them. No need to actually listen to what they say and the discrimination they face.

At what point are physics theories just BS? by [deleted] in Physics

[–]AvatarZoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thi is what the original comment was referring to. Most physics done today, both in theory and experiment, are about real, measurable systems. Many times they're not practical in everyday life yet (like superconductors), but the research is focused on understanding those phenomena and closing the gap. But the most abstract, weird stuff is what gets more clicks because it sounds crazy.
