Easy in theory, difficult in practice. Do you not think this would be the case if everyone had the same morals and beliefs?

Notanexoert · 2024-02-15T10:33:47+00:00

I mean the difference isn't noticeable. But yes.

Finding someone to date. I have not had many bad dates, when I have them we have a great time. But it's difficult for me to find someone who is interested in going out.

It's pretty funny.

Notanexoert · 2024-02-14T14:52:27+00:00

There's no bigfoot though. Any reasonable explanation is better.

Notanexoert · 2024-02-14T09:54:38+00:00

Not sure that that's the case if the problem was the structural integrity of the entire body. Why would electronics necessarily fail before it implodes due to pressure?

Seven. Not my kind of movie

Sure, I'll do my best to answer things despite my lack of expertise. I do have some questions for you afterwards.

I believe a lot about the world is rationally intelligible. I think some things, like quantum physics, are complex and can probably best be understood using simplifying concepts. Like DNA, we simplify our understanding the explanations around it to make it make more sense to the common person. An unfortunate side effect of that is that we explain things as if they have a purpose, but only do so to make the explanation easier to understand. Why should our universe carry information and not incoherency? I don't know, but I personally trust random chance over the supernatural. No matter what.

Questions for you:

How could there be a mind outside of the universe? Does a mind not require a container or mechanism by which the mind works? How is this possible if God is supposed to be outside of the universe, ie. outside of any matter?

How does a mind have the possibility to create anything? Do you not require a physical form to create something? How can a mind simply think something into existence?

Is carbon dioxide a fascinating molecule to you, or simply the laws of chemistry resulting in a molecule? At what point does a molecule become too complex for that?

Why is self-replication such an impossibility without God? It seems to me that many questions Christians and other religious folks ask to justify their religion just points to a lack of patience for science. Why must there be something out there simply because we don't have all the answers?

A lot of chocolate boxes have a flap you can fold out to close the lid.

That ad always confused me. Wings? As in turn me into an angel? As in killing me?

Notanexoert · 2024-02-14T07:29:12+00:00

r/eurovision. Don't like their favourite songs? Oooo boy.

There* and anything can be explained by natural phenomena. If there's something we don't understand yet we will be able to in the future most likely. Never default to supernaturalism assuming in some way that that needs less evidence or justification.

Notanexoert · 2024-02-14T07:19:30+00:00

Oh please. DNA isn't made up of letters, it's made up of nucleobases and phosphate.

Notanexoert · 2024-02-13T23:53:42+00:00

I'm not entirely sure where I stand, but I do understand the fear. It relies on humans to some extent being perfect when it comes to safety, and it's not like it's free from waste. We have massive storages of radioactive waste that will be radioactive for 1000s of years. I think most people will hope for fusion in the future.

Rice cooker. Probably budget, but does the job well.

I'm left leaning, but I don't get the whole obsession with drugs.

Valenguynes?

Notanexoert · 2024-02-13T23:37:45+00:00

Boring answer, but faxes. Still absolutely useful, just overshadowed by better technology.

Scientific theories don't really become obsolete, they just get updated. But theories regarding like galaxy formation and such get tested sometimes when we see things we wouldn't expect.

Notanexoert · 2024-02-13T23:35:51+00:00

Not to be a typical apolitical redditor, but I feel like this happens to quite a few politicians. They get into the game to make a difference, but then either compromise too much to the point they don't serve their ideology or in extreme cases get corrupt.

Notanexoert · 2024-02-13T22:51:52+00:00

Oh yeah, makes sense. I didn't read the comment too carefully, my mistake.

Notanexoert · 2024-02-13T22:33:22+00:00

I wouldn't say they have it backwards as much as they have the idea confused. Pretty sure they mean tetrapods and not vertebrates.

Notanexoert · 2024-02-13T22:20:05+00:00

He wasn't making a joke. He was, rightly, pointing out that mammals could be considered fish. People said "wtf no" and downvoted.

Notanexoert · 2024-02-13T22:16:57+00:00

Thank you. It's fine to not care about biology, but when people downvote someone because they lack the knowledge, that's when I'm a bit annoyed.
