So you are saying God had his money on Hitler? Oh, that's right, German soldiers had belt buckles that said "God is With Us".

Ok, I see your profile pic as green. What color do you see it?

        True dat.

Trump:   'I Am Not A Crook'

When do you think Trump will copy Nixon and say, 'I Am Not A Crook'?

Intelligent Man:  'The word God is for me nothing but the expression and product of human weaknesses,' 

I see green grass all the time.

 President Trump, who called for a second summit with Vladimir Putin, also says journalists, not Russia, are the “real enemy of the people.”

This isn’t a question that physics can answer with our present knowledge or without some form of qualification.
The trite answer is that both space and time were created at the big bang about 14 billion years ago, so there is nothing beyond the universe. However, much of the universe exists beyond the observable universe, which is maybe about 90 billion light years across.
Because the universe is homogenous on this scale, we imagine that what is beyond our observation looks much the same as what we can see.
If the universe is infinite, there is nothing beyond it, by definition. A finite expanding universe conjures up the idea that it would have a boundary or edge, separating it from something beyond. Of course, the universe has at least four dimensions (three for space and one for time) which is nigh on impossible for us to visualise.
However, space could be represented as two dimensions, confined to the gossamer-thin surface of a sphere. You could travel in any direction on the surface without encountering an edge. If the radius were to increase, the “universe” would expand as ours does, but it wouldn’t be expanding into anything.
Finally, we could speculate that our universe is part of a multiverse with many other universes beyond our own, but it is unlikely that we are expanding into them.

Well stated.

Although the science of brain cell communication is well-understood, the complexity of thought processes is not well-defined. However, exploring the brain may help in understanding the bigger picture.
The brain is primarily composed of neurons, which are cells that generate electrical impulses for communication. It is estimated that the human brain has close to 100 billion neurons.
Neurons release brain chemicals, known as neurotransmitters, which generate these electrical signals in neighboring neurons. The electrical signals propagate like a wave to thousands of neurons, which leads to thought formation.

How do you explain General Anesthesia?

C'mon man, friend me. Have you ever been to Diego Garcia?

From an interview with Asimov by Bill Moyers in 1988.

MOYERS: If God is dead, everything is permitted. That’s what scares them.

ASIMOV: Well, on the contrary. They assume that human beings have no feeling about what is right and wrong. Is the only reason you are virtuous because that’s your ticket to heaven? Is the only reason you don’t beat your children to death, because you don’t want to go to hell? It seems to me that it’s insulting to human beings to imply that only a system of rewards and punishments can keep you a decent human being. Isn’t it conceivable a person wants to be a decent human being because that way he feels better? Because that way the world is better?
I would like to think — I don’t believe that I’m ever going to heaven or hell. I think that when I die there will be nothingness. That’s what I firmly believe. That does not mean that I have the impulse to go out and rob and steal and rape and everything else, because I don’t fear punishment. For one thing, I fear worldly punishment. And for a second thing, I fear the punishment of my own conscience. I have a conscience. It doesn’t depend on religion. And I think it’s so with other people, too.
Besides, even in societies in which religion is very powerful, there’s no shortage of crime and sin and misery and terrible things happening, despite heaven and hell. I mean, I imagine if you go down death row, bunch of murderers maybe are waiting for execution, ask them if they believe in God. They’ll tell you yes.

As evolution proceeds, Worm Man is being replaced by Intelligent Man.

Unfortunatly I am not rich. My net worth is less than $300 million.

Atheists are brave. Religious people are cowards.Religious people use religion to escape reality. If by reality we mean the absurd, meaningless and often brutal aspects of existence, then yes, religion serves as a vital lie which give our lives and our existence meaning and value.

Well stated.

On June 7, 2017, President Donald Trump announced that he would nominate Christopher Wray as the next director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Trump wrote on Twitter, "I will be nominating Christopher A. Wray, a man of impeccable credentials, to be the new Director of the FBI. Details to follow." Wray was officially nominated on June 26, 2017.

'Cause that means Albert E equals MC squared!

President Donald Trump’s company planned to give a $50 million penthouse at Trump Tower Moscow to Russian President Vladimir Putin as the company negotiated the luxury real estate development during the 2016 campaign, according to four people, one of them the originator of the plan.
Two US law enforcement officials told BuzzFeed News that Michael Cohen, Trump’s personal lawyer at the time, discussed the idea with a representative of Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s press secretary.

Well stated.

Actually, it is for both Intelligent Man and Worm Man.   Fortunately you are Intelligent Man.

Companies are not in the habit of throwing money away, and they are not in the habit of staying out of politics. Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and Sanofi collectively rake in several billions of dollars in profits. That’s not millions, but billions – with a B. We know they spend millions on marketing, but they also spend millions on lobbying politicians and donating to our decision-makers so that they keep quiet about price gouging. Check if your representatives receive contributions from one of the ‘big three’ insulin manufacturers or any pharmaceutical company. Chances are, they do. Not to mention, the revolving door between pharma companies and US Government positions. Trump's secretary of Health and Human Services was previously an Eli Lilly executive. Obviously, his interests were not with people, but with power. This is why independent patient voices are so important.

Conservatism is now the home of Worm Man.

For those that don't understand my comment, Joe Maddon asked Peyton Manning about the meaning of the quarterback’s famous pre-snap code word: “Omaha!”
“It was a rhythmic three-syllable word,” Manning explained. “[It] meant we had changed the play, usually after kind of calling two plays in the huddle.
“All of a sudden, the defense shifts late and there’s just a few seconds left on the play clock, and so ‘Omaha’ meant we’re going to Plan B and this ball’s about to be snapped.”

This is what GP did after his first comment.  It was Plan B.

        Omaha !, Omaha !, Omaha !

Xi:               Putin, do you know a way we can remove the USA as the world leader?

Putin:        Well, they do have a large amount of stupid people that call themselves Republicans. I think we could manipulate them.

                     I actually got one elected President and I'm building a tower for him now in Moscow.

He was an engineer who started his own contracting company. He initially did very well and got a lot of contracts. As people found out he was gay he lost a lot of work. He began having financial problems and that is when he killed himself. 

The estimated net worth of Xi Jinping is $1.2 billion dollars. He is the highest-ranking official in China.

    Well stated.

Voters in Red state  Kansas delivered a win for abortion rights activists on Tuesday with 58.8 percent voting "no" in a statewide referendum on removing abortion protections from the state constitution. With 95 percent of votes reported, the "yes" vote came in at 41.2 percent.

Remember that most Humans are only a step up from bugs.

This all started with the Trump administration. For four years, the Trump administration had made confronting China a key pillar of its foreign policy. As part of that effort, particularly in the last year of the administration, Pompeo and senior officials had spoken vigorously in defense of Taiwan, the most sensitive issue in U.S.-China relations.

So you are pro Hang Mike Pence? When rioters chanted 'hang Mike Pence' Trump said 'he deserves it'.

Bicameral mentality is a hypothesis in psychology and neuroscience which argues that the human mind once operated in a state in which cognitive functions were divided between one part of the brain which appears to be "speaking", and a second part which listens and obeys—a bicameral mind, and that the evolutionary 

breakdown of this division gave rise to conciousness in humans. The term was coined by Julian Jaynes, who presented the idea in his 1976 book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, wherein he made the case that a bicameral mentality was the normal and ubiquitous state of the human mind as recently as 3,000 years ago, near the end of the Mediterranean bronze age.
