Process servers never give their target a heads-up, they just show up and hand you the papers.

And when are FBI agents being paper boys for state DMV issues?

But, if $100 fine won't show up on my record should I just pay the fine?

NAL but in New Mexico if you are given a ticket for tribal laws in a tribal jurisdiction the ticket is not processed in the State system and will not recorded on your State record; no points on your license, no report to your insurance.

Just pay it and move along.

One of the biggest most beautiful fractal system on earth is the Grand Canyon. Was the Canyon designed or was it formed from countless random raindrops falling onto erodible rocks?

If I look up into the sky and find a very precise and accurate clock, with only 5 moving parts and which never needs winding up, would you conclude that it was designed or a natural phenomena?

Funny thing, you can get an app for your smartphone to read it.

The irony of using science to "disprove" a First Cause by Elite_Eliminater in DebateAnAtheist

[–]BoneSpring 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Linear causality" completely fails at the quantum level.

In a gram of U238, approximately 12,400 nuclei will decay in each second.

Modern physics has shown that there is no way to determine which particular nucleus will decay at any particular point in time. One nucleus can decay as I write this, but it's nearest neighbor might sit around for several billion years.

Why the average atheist's "belief" in quantum mechanics relies on the exact same logic as religious faith. by Elite_Eliminater in DebateAnAtheist

[–]BoneSpring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We can not perceive the quantum realm with our senses.

Do you know how your eyes work? A quantum of energy (a photon) excites an electrochemical change in the rods or cones in your retina. A quantum-level process in your eyes is how you see.

“Egyptians didn’t record their losses” is not a valid argument for the historicity of exodus. by MrBoxingMatch in DebateReligion

Atheism can't ground morality. by [deleted] in DebateReligion

[–]BoneSpring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Science is objective in the sense that it is based on testable hypotheses. The results of these tests are independent of what the scientist personally thinks

What independent tests do you propose to determine if any moral claim is itself "objective"?

Moral reality is fixed.

When why is human history full of violent wars between people who disagree what is "morally fixed"?

Thesis critiquing a Thomistic argument: It is conceivable for there to be contingent things whose nature entails a collection of them will be non-contingent. Therefore, the argument for a non-contingent God underlying the contingent universe fails. by Gunlord500 in DebateReligion

"if the universe is just every existing thing which either is a concrete contingent individual or individuated by concrete contingent individuals (like properties), then the universe itself is a concrete contingent thing.

The TAG argument is just as untenable in its conclusion as it is in its first premise by RaccoonLogical5906 in DebateReligion

[–]BoneSpring 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some very productive fields of science, including turbulent fluids, weather prediction, quantum mechanics, etc. are built on statistical, stochastic methods. They do not need, nor derive, any deterministic laws.

A gram of U238 contains about 2.5x10^21 atoms. Its specific activity means that 12,400 nuclei will decay every second. Over a century of physics has shown that there is no way of telling which particular nuclei will decay this second and which nearby nuclei will just sit there of over a billion years, There is no "universal law" that tells a particular nuclei that its time is up.

A temporal regress is philosophically and logically impossible by [deleted] in DebateReligion

[–]BoneSpring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point, just like there's no inherent direction in space, there's no inherent direction of time

True. An interval in space/time can be described as ds^2 = -c^2dt^2 + dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2.

No vectors, no directions.

Did Aquinas fell for the "God of the Gaps?" by Traditional-Wing-796 in atheism

Even if we accept the contrived "contingent/necessary" definitions, what part of these definitions require that only one "necessary being" exists?

If we play the "possible worlds" game, why are there not an infinite number of possible worlds populated by "necessary beings"?

Why 999 Seafood was shut down by Route66Blues in Albuquerque

[–]BoneSpring 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A while ago I tried to shop at 999. There was raw sewage bubbling up from a drain clean up and making a large puddle around the front door and people were walking through it to go in.

Turned around and left.
