if the govt and big battery (duracell etc) hadnt suppressed tesla we would had shape shifting liquid metal sex bots by 1980

Gotta keep the energy racket going though. There's too much money to be made there

Why are you all so convince that I'm talking about 'god(s)'?
I never once said that.

Stop putting words in my posts.

Newton and Einstein took time to prove what they believed. like I said before, that's all im saying jeez.

saints dont worship dolphins it was kind of implied

Newton seemed like a true genius. I think if he was alive today he would still be the smartest guy in the sciences. Not so sure about Einstien, even if he was brilliant.

Newton also sounds like a total aspergers case if I've ever seen one. It's funny how easy it was for this aristocrat named Hook to essentially troll Newton into a rage by suggesting he already knew what Newton discovered.

History makes its own heros. Someone was going to discover what both those men did eventually. What makes them special is they discovered a lot very quickly. Sometimes, I think this is more luck than we want to admit. But I think Newton was definitely the real deal.

Why are people so hung up on the word faith being attached to religion.

Example: a trust circle. a person stands in the middle and has to trust the people around them that they will catch them when they lean over to fall.
The person in the middle has faith that the people around them will catch them when they lean over to fall.

Trust in something. You trust that science is true so you can explain things. You have faith in science. Science is a faith for people.

edit: another example: I have faith that my jalopy will make it over this next hill.

I think the problem Baler is that the word has multiple definitions including belief without evidence/proof and a strong belief in God. Those latter definitions are why faith is so often correlated with religion. The way in which you are using the term is not the same as it is used with regard to religion which is how most people associate it.

It's like telling two acrophobes to make sure they are high enough to reach the top shelf before stopping, while one of them is climbing a ladder and the other is puffing a hash pipe. ^^

Now we're getting into the realm of arguing by definition, which is entirely pointless and fruitless.

no. Einstein here still doesnt understand the idea of a scientific theory.

why are you being so polite to a complete dumbass
