‘The word God is for me nothing but the expression and product of human weaknesses,’ Einstein wrote to Gutkind, ‘the Bible a collection of venerable but still rather primitive legends. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change anything about this.’

The belief that children cannot consent stems from several factors:
- Developmental Maturity: Children are often not developmentally, emotionally, or physically mature enough to make informed decisions about sexual activity1.
- Lack of Accountability: Even if a child gives permission, it does not imply that they are accountable for their actions, which raises concerns about their ability to consent2.
- Understanding of Sexual Activity: Children may not fully understand sexual actions, which can lead to misconceptions about consent4.
- Legal Framework: Laws often set minimum ages for consent, reflecting societal norms and the recognition that children may not be capable of making certain decisions3.

Did you know that J. Robert Oppenheimer was not a conventionally religious person and did not believe in God, though he was interested in Eastern philosophy and mysticism, particularly the Bhagavad Gita.

Yes, in 2019 A judge ordered President Donald Trump to pay $2 million to an array of charities as a fine for misusing his own charitable foundation to further his political and business interests.

It's too bad that Canada does not have any nuclear weapons . They must feel like the Ukraine.

Researchers have proposed that an area of the brain known as the anterior cingulate cortex located in the frontal lobe region plays an important role in developing self-awareness. Studies have also used brain imaging to show that this region becomes activated in adults who are self-aware.
The Lewis and Brooks-Gunn experiment suggests that self-awareness begins to emerge in children around the age of 18 months, an age that coincides with the rapid growth of spindle cells in the anterior cingulate cortex.
However, one study found that a patient retained self-awareness even with extensive damage to areas of the brain including the insula and the anterior cingulate cortex.
This suggests that these areas of the brain are not required for most aspects of self-awareness and that awareness may instead arise from interactions distributed among brain networks.

Unlike Trump’s federal criminal charges, the civil cases playing out against Trump—including in federal court—aren’t expected to be impacted by his election, as Supreme Court precedent in Clinton v. Jones found sitting presidents can still be held liable in civil court for actions before they took office. That means writer E. Jean Carroll’s two defamation cases against Trump, as well as the civil fraud case against Trump and his business associates, will not be impacted, as Trump appeals the rulings against him in those cases. It also means if the appeals court upholds the decisions, Trump will also still be liable for the more than $90 million he owes in Carroll’s two cases and more than $470 million—and counting—in the civil fraud case. Trump is also being sued in civil court by Democratic lawmakers and Capitol police officers for his role in the Jan. 6 riot, and judges have already ruled he is not immune from those lawsuits.

Quantum mechanics famously has a measurement problem where physicists debate the extent to which conscious observers determine reality, or if they do because it seems the particles are not there as particles until they are measured or observed by the experimenter which causes the system's wave-function (representing a figurative cloud of probabilities instead of a particle, a manifold of so called superpositions) to "collapse", i.e. being instantly transformed into a classical object now with definitive physical properties such as location and momentum that we can identify, such as a particle, which didn't exist as such until that instant.
Some people have already alleged this could be a way to prove God's existence because God as a universal observer will sustain reality, and a casual web search with the keywords "quantum mechanics god" shows how widespread the idea is.
However it seems to me that the exact opposite is true; because if there was a God who observes reality before or beyond human observers then we wouldn't have a measurement problem at all: the continuous ever-present observation of God would cause all wave-functions to have already collapsed or otherwise all quantum systems would have already decohered before we made our observations and we would experience a classical world at all times, never detecting a quantum superposition.
The fact that we can cause any quantum system's wave-function to collapse at all is proof that there is no such universal observer such as God. Our observation came first before any other observer, but this should be impossible if there was an ever-present conscious observer such as God.

Nearly two months after an explosion sent flaming debris raining down on the Turks and Caicos, SpaceX launched another mammoth Starship rocket on Thursday, but lost contact minutes into the test flight as the spacecraft came tumbling down.

How do you like the introduction to the Friedman-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric as one of the cornerstones of contemporary cosmology and, together with general relativity it forms the core of the prevailing ΛCDM `concordance' paradigm.

1.Religion is based on belief, and you can believe anything, anything, anything. Each time I tell you there's no god, there's nothing in the whole world meaning there's a god, you can tell me something like : "I don't mind, I feel there's a god". You can tell me : "There's a camel in a bathroom on another planet and he created the whole universe, I know that even if I can't go up to this planet". But how do you know ? "I know, I strongly feel it, and can you tell me or prove the opposite ? No you can't." 2) There are thousands of religions on earth, can you tell me why my religion would be the proper one ? 3) Religion is a stupidity because it means you believe and belief is just the opposite of knowledge. Just think of the primitive human beings : They believed many wrong things because when they didn't know, they invented. Some thought the sun was a god's eye, who would say such an idea is smart ? When you don't know, the best is not to think you know, but men and women hate to do so.

Animals cannot talk like Humans do because:
- Their brains are different from ours.
- Communication and language are distinct concepts.
- While animals can communicate in various ways, they lack the complex linguistic abilities that humans possess.

Nobody thought he was hot but what you're missing is it didn't matter at all because he was a public intellectual and a scientist, not a model; disfigured and ill, and old anyway. This is the dumbest post ever lol. Maybe not every famous person in existence has to fit perfect standards of beauty? Once again, nobody in the media said Stephen Hawking was good looking the past years and he didn't have to be either! Let him rest in peace.

In Massachusetts, free health insurance programs are available to eligible residents1. MassHealth is the Massachusetts Medicaid program, which provides health insurance to low-income residents2. Massachusetts law requires that all residents have health insurance, and you may face tax penalties if you are uninsured or your insurance coverage does not meet state coverage standards3. The Massachusetts Health Care Reform Law requires that most residents over 18 who can afford health insurance have coverage for the entire year, or pay a penalty through their tax returns
