Specifically the one who promised to be back around 2,000 years ago. He's a little late. But Winn's too stupid to understand that. He's so stupid he really believes he knows more about special relativity than Einstein did. Quote

Speed is nothing more than the magnitude of velocity. Velocity has both magnitude and direction. Einstein set the problem up, not me. He worked it wrong, causing the ignorance that exists in the scientific world on this subject today. I worked the problem correctly, causing the outcry and persecution presently taking place. All I need to do to show my equations correct is use them to describe a photon traveling along the x axis in the -x direction. When you have found a physicist or mathematician who says he can prove the equations worng [sic], come back and tell me about it. " "v is the velocity of K' relative to K. K is a set of Cartesian coordinates at rest, and K' is a set of Cartesian coordinates in motion relative to K with the x' axis of K' falling along the x-axis of K. In other words, Einstein says that K' is moving in the +x direction relative to K. The equation allows K' to move either direction. If K' were moving in the -x direction instead of as Einstein specified, the velocity of K' relative to K would be negative. If we consider the equation from the other frame of reference, with K' at rest and K in motion, then v'= -v, or the velocity of K relative to K' as measured from K' is the negative of the velocity of K' relative to K as measured from K. If you keep the velocities straight, there is no need for a distance contraction such as scientists now use. Scientists of today need a distance contraction because they use speed of light instead of velocity of light. Einstein at first set out to use velocity of light, but did not have the correct equations for velocity of light." Actually sounds as if he knows what he's talking about, if you don't read it. Quote

Guest Thurisaz, Germanic barbarian Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 H. Wm. Esque: > Where is the simple evidence of no God? > I have yet to see the proof of this claim. No god _at all?_ Can't be shown. That deity (or deities) might be hiding from us, and a decent deity should have the power to conceal itself successfully from a bunch of nosy humans. No abrahamic gawd? That's so fucking easy that it boggles my mind that some didn't get it even today. After all, that gawd concept fails the fundamental test of self-consistency. You're a literalist, aren't you? (Others don't tend to go ballistic about this topic at all) So, which of the claims in your scripture is _wrong?_ Omnipotence Omniscience Omnibenevolence Try to use your brain for a moment: An omniscient gawd would have known what its creations would do... you know, in that garden, about that tree. An omnipotent gawd would have lotsa ways to prevent this from happening. An omnibenevolent gawd _WOULD_ have prevented it. Come on morontheist, admit your defeat. Which of your babblical claims is wrong? -- "To his friend a man a friend shall prove, and gifts with gifts requite; But men shall mocking with mockery answer, and fraud with falsehood meet."

The "argument" that there's no evidence that God does not exist is a logical fallacy. Of course there's no evidence that God doesn't exist. There's no evidence that anything doesn't exist. That isn't how it works. Quite simply, there's no such thing as evidence that something doesn't exist. Be it gods, unicorns, elves, fairies or theists' critical thinking skills, nonexistence is inferred from a lack of evidence that the thing in question does exist. So you see, the question of God's existence doesn't rest on whether or not there's any evidence that he doesn't exist, but rather on whether or not there's any evidence that he does exist, and, despite the rather frequent claims by theists to the contrary, there simply isn't. There is , on the other hand, an abundant lack of evidence. Yes, I know you think Martin Rees' "brute facts", as you insist on calling them, prove the existence of some sort of creator, and other theists will point to other "evidence" they believe proves their case, but it's all smoke and mirrors. Just your (and their) subjective interpretation of data that can be explained as well or better in purely naturalistic terms. Wishful thinking, nothing more. I don't begrudge you or any other theist your beliefs, I honestly don't. If believing in a creator makes you feel better about life, about yourself, or about what you see as your "ultimate destiny", that's fine. I don't have a problem with it. But please, don't waste our time and yours with logical fallacies, subjective interpretations and unsupported assertions. Anything can be interpreted as evidence for a creator, but that doesn't mean it actually is. >> > >> > Quote

You seem to have no power over his existence whatsoever. God is like the Bible in one way. No matter what atheists say about the Bible, it continues to exist and says what it was written to say. No matter what atheists say about God, He continues to exist. Well, time for Bible study. If you run into any atheists who want to talk about the theory of relativity, let me know. Robert B.

Guest Jeckyl Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Your claims of a combination of galillean transforms and a constant maximum speed of light have been proven (for a century) to be self-contradictory and so DO NOT WORK. Infact, ti is easily proved (and I have done so for you already) that Galillean transforms do not work with ANY maximum possible speed, or any speed that is the same in all intertial frames of reference. I have demonstrated this every time you post it with your continual LIE that they work ,and depsite your continual LIES that the disproves are using 'ether theory' or that LIE that I am claiming light to be oblate spheroid, or the LIE that I believe trains are crushed by photons, or any of the many other LIES that you post. Unless you have something else to offer, or some valid questions that indicate a genuine desire to acutally learn, then you might as well leave this discussion, as what you have said so far has been disproven and restating it is not going to make it true. Perhaps you might care to combine the constant speed of light with Lorentz transforms, which DO work with a constant maximum speed ? Quote

Well, you believe that mathematics is a democracy, and all you have to do to change it is organize faction. Like all atheists, you believe that all you have to do to prove there is no God is to claim that anyone who says there is has told a lie. I have told you the truth. I believe your mathematics is about as good as a Harry Potter novel and just about as popular. The last scientist who became this obsessed about trying change my mind left his computer and wandered outside into the real world and ended up drowning in the ocean. You have proven to me that what I thought you college people were doing is in fact what you are doing. You have imposed a dictatorship in which people who do not accept your false teachings are going to be penalized until they do. Since people have no choice in your kind of mathematics, it means nothing to me. As far as I am concerned, you are people who believe in witchcraft and magic. Robert B. Winn Quote

So? Does that make your fictional character real? > Where is the simple evidence of no God? How do you propose the nonexistence of deities be proven? The xian bible makes claims about the xian deities that can be proven false; e.g., Jesus says one can have anything one wants by asking for it in Jesus' name, but that claim has been repeatedly proven false. Of course, you're welcome to claim that Jesus lied or the bible is wrong, but that doesn't really support your assertion of the existence of deities, does it? How many deities should anyone be expected to prove nonexistent before disbelieving in them? There is NO OBJECTIVE, VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE OF ANY DEITIES. ANYWHERE. EVER. In light of that inconvenient fact, it isn't reasonable, nor is it my responsibility, to prove your particular deity exists; it is yours to prove it does, otherwise there's no legitimate reason for anyone to accept the assertion. > I have yet to see the proof of this claim. I have yet to see proof of the claim that you don't owe me a million dollars, so I'm expecting a check. What's even more unfortunate is nobody anywhere has ever seen any objective, verifiable evidence for ANY deity, let alone yours. Quote
