Could A Good God Permit So Much Suffering?

Okay, I do not agree with Einstein.

Einstein's right.

Unless one has faith that the universe is ultimately rationally intelligible, there would be no point spending millions of dollars to scientifically study dark matter, supersymmetry, or dark energy.

What do you mean by rational? That God created it?

 

[Hume]

the universe is ultimately rationally intelligible

Science is just accurate description of physical events. It works. All there is to it.

 

[Tobytone]

egad you are fucking retarded

Oh, I thought you threatened to put me on 'ignore' if I said one more dumbass thing or something like that. lol. I said an awful lot and yet, here you are. Huh??

 

[Into the Night]

I guess one needs a certain level of intelligence to grasp the philosophical point Einstein was making.

You are not Einstein. What point are you trying to make?

For you, I suggest remedial ninth grade reading comprehension courses, and being taught to respond to what people actually write, rather than responding to what you wish they wrote.

So you now say you didn't write your post? Who did?

 

[Into the Night]

You're blind

I see well enough to fly airplanes and drive cars.

 

[Into the Night]

...and a certain level of sanity.

You are not Einstein, Sybil. What point are you trying to make?

Having discussions with his own sock puppets is key indicator of ITN's insanity

I am not you, Sybil.

Albert Camus is one of the few atheists to actually commit to living his atheism to it's logical conclusion. He accepted that life was ultimately absurd and meaningless, there was nothing out there but the howling void, and the key to life was figuring out why we shouldn't just commit suicide. He actually did come up with valid reasons for living with the absurdity of life.

Atheism is not a conclusion, Sybil.

 

[Into the Night]

Okay, I do not agree with Einstein.

Not surprising. I already know you deny several theories of science.

 

[Into the Night]

You keep ignoring what I write and talk about things I never mentioned. Not interesting.

You aren't having a conversation, Hugo.
The fact that you are bored is your problem.

You think so? The mail recently arrived, but was late. What theory of science is that?

 

[Into the Night]

Einstein's right.

About what, Sybil?

Unless one has faith that the universe is ultimately rationally intelligible, there would be no point spending millions of dollars to scientifically study dark matter, supersymmetry, or dark energy.

You think the Universe is intelligent? Do you talk to it?
Science is not a study.

Albert Einstein said it was a conviction and an article of faith, akin to a religious feeling, that the rational intelligibility of the universe lies behind all scientific work.​

"Scientific research can reduce superstition by encouraging people to think and view things in terms of cause and effect. Certain it is that a conviction, akin to religious feeling, of the rationality and intelligibility of the world lies behind all scientific work of a higher order."

stupid and unscientific.

You clearly are insane.

 

[Into the Night]

You clearly are insane.

You think the mail arriving late makes someone insane?

Einstein's right.

Einstein's theories, and those of other physicists, have often been proved correct. Those theories were completed based upon facts and by making logical predictions.

Not my field, and I'm pretty shitty at higher math, but gravitational lensing and the speed of light as a physical limit are two good ones.

 

[Dutch Uncle]

You clearly are insane.

I believe Sybil is a paranoid schizophrenic. His fake forum is a good insight into his mind. https://politiplex.freeforums.net/

He actually did come up with valid reasons for living with the absurdity of life.

Although his quote about the philosophical question of suicide is often quoted and that he often rejected many of religious views (he was French and raised Catholic), I'm not certain he was a "when you're dead, you're dead" atheist.
