As I stated genetics influence everything pertaining to the function of organic structures.

I am predicting a typical Saturday, relative to unpredictable weather conditions.

And as hell is at best a metaphor, how does one let it "use" (loose perhaps)?......Metaphorically I suppose.

I would suggest that your primary obligations should be to yourself and  to those that closely concern you.

Wearing a mask and social distancing is as beneficial to you as it is to anyone else.

If you don't give "a shit" about others then that is just downright anti-social and therefore why should others give "a shit" about you.

Maybe you are working on a somewhat deluded assumption of invincibility.

Genetics dictate everything about an individual.

Though intelligence is far from exclusive and behaviour is just as much to do with social conditioning as it is to do with genetics.

Similarly, variations in academic achievement  are just as likely to be resultant of social disparities.

Jesus of the biblical mythology, could easily have been based upon a real person.

Though it's very unlikely that a real Jesus character  was resurrected in the mythological biblical sense.

The Biblical story is obviously a mythology, because the supernatural embellishments lack logical/common sense.

Well yes, especially with genes that dictate physical appearance....Though Britishness is actually defined by a very wide gene pool... Even two similar looking "White" Britain's might display a very diverse genetic ancestry...Not unsurprising considering the historical events that shaped Britishness.

In most cases "hate" is an inappropriate word.

In most cases the word resent is probably more appropriate.

Jealousy, or uncertainty relative to change or difference, are often  the causes of resentment.

I would suggest that hatred is a more profound psychological disturbance, and therefore manifestly more irrational.

There will be genetic differences between everyone, except (in 99.9% of incidences) identical twins....Genetic differences that define physical appearance are perceivably obvious....Whereas the genes that dictate that one develops cancer latter on in life for example, take longer to manifest.

So wherefrom "extra-terrestrial viri"?.....Same old question....Something  from nothing......Pre-cubo-octahedron.

Though that is not to say that the establishment of life on Earth was not from an extra-terrestrial source....All hypotheses currently valid.

What good is applying sanctions to the unsactionable?

Yep...Give or take a few years it was in the most part, Europeans slaughtering Europeans, based upon the notion of an assumed or an acquired difference.....Same old shit Eugene.

Do you not think that a modern stand up comics material is different to what would have made us laugh 40 years ago....Though I would suggest that this reflects a general change in social expectation. 

I would further suggest that what we might regard as timeless humour, is perhaps as much to do with nostalgia as it is to do with humour.....In so much as it makes us smile rather than makes us laugh.

Are you monosyllabic on purpose?

PURPOSE.....You've exceeded expectations.

One assumes that we all do what we do for an individual reason or purpose.

Yep...On the face of it seems like a reasonable equation.

Nope....That's because of your own ego based mind games.

Sometimes there are rare flashes of clarity.

Nonetheless, your hypothesis (if it is seriously meant ) starts after the beginning.....Which just won't do.

And as you can see I am still undecided....Troll, Nutcase or Genius?

Well, the term African American is used, and I will go out on a limb here and suggest that African Americans will often choose to be regarded as such when it's suits a cause.

Historical events seem to have led us to a situation whereby Racism is exclusively regarded as light skin toned of Northern European origin person, oppressing dark skin toned person who is a descendant of forced migration from Africa....And as you rightly pointed out,  racism in reality is never and has never been this exclusive.

And let's be honest...Why would we keep continually digging up the past, if there wasn't some sort of gain to be made from it.

Repatriations, and yes, who pays who for what.....Well the present day reality is that it's the aforementioned light skinned guy, handing over cash the aforementioned darker skinned guy simply because they have a perceivable difference in skin tone that can be related to locations of now distant ancestral origin.....In other words mutual racism for cash.

Why people are afraid of guns , is because when you have a gun pointed at you, the holder's mental state alters and their reasoning diminishes....And of course ultimately if the trigger is pulled it's probably not going to be good news.

The gun is an inanimate object and not to be feared unless it is in the hands of a predictable human being, such as yourself or even a democrat.... There is no special difference between you and a democrat, other than a dumb ideas that you have in your heads.

Humour has evolved.

Yep. I can actually run with a lot of that, though minus some of the human embellishments and expectations of continued existence in some sort of human form.

I see GOD as the ultimate  accumulation of intelligence, and we are certainly a part of that process....GOD the ultimate knowledge to recreate and perpetuate the universal sequence.

Though I doubt that the ongoing accumulation of knowledge will always be human in origin.... We have had thousands of years to accumulate our intelligence, whereas alternative intelligence gatherers have only had a few decades.....Nonetheless, you could say that in this respect we are already a  part of GOD.

Race is based upon perceivable difference,  and also also upon regional separation  and conditioned data.

If we were visited by aliens, they would initially regard us as one species....But upon closer inspection they would inevitably categorise us based upon certain criteria...notably, perceivably difference.

And I expect that aliens would still have some sort of god principle....Though it might be green and have six legs.

Typically, you have already humanised the god principle.

Maybe GOD is the ultimate accumulation of knowledge which will inevitably result in only one determined purpose....Creation or re-creation.

So fully explain something from nothing ( in a language that idiots like me can comprehend), without starting after the beginning.

Your personal hypothesis is what it is and has probably perplexed people for the last thirty years.

And cosmic trinities abound, but are always based upon something.

Sorry...I honestly didn't understand that previous post (#67)....Maybe it was hastily put together.

All physiological actions are determined by the nature of their cause.

"Free will" really means freedom/spontaneity of thought and freedom to act upon such thoughts...I would argue  that thoughts are always responses to to a cause and that actions are responses to thoughts...Therefore the whole sequence of events from creation to death relies wholly upon varying levels of determinism.

And a god principle may be a part of the sequence... But not the ethereal Caucasian guy of the westernised Christian Bible.

So fully explain something from nothing without starting after the beginning.

I currently run with the idea of an oscillating universal sequence, in which intelligence/data is a key component. This also loosely addresses something-nothing-something as part of a sequence, but does not account for nothing-something.

As I see it, nothing-something has to be void of intelligence.....This has always been my argument.

Something-nothing -something fits nicely within the context of a finite universe, though I would question whether  this also implies that occupiable space is also finite. 

A good argument for Darwinian evolution...So what.

Certainly no argument for a Christian styled god.

No you don't do you lol, ironic ain't it.

Spirituality is gained through a physiological response to a certain stimulus....That is to say, that you create spirituality inside your own head because you wish to create spirituality inside your own head.

And within the myth there are obvious facts and there is obvious fantasy.

I would suggest at best, logical.

I run with certain unprovable principles just the same as you do...Though yours are perhaps somewhat more cosmetically embellished than mine.

Just about, thanks to your Jewish and Muslim brothers.

Ebuc is Ebuc, as we are all what we are.

And blocking is usually futile, as we have a tendency not to ignore anyway....As exemplified by your indirect communication through me.

And the antagonists on this site are often more entertaining and engaging than the a lot of the others.

Where as Mr Ethan gone, again?....Did I miss another banning?

Yep....Mythology...And you have no way of proving otherwise.

Nonetheless, that is not to imply that the naivety of the message does not contain a basic representation of a purpose. 

Strip away the mythology from most religions and you are left with the same basic principle.

And non-religious people such as myself, also tend not to be nihilistic.

Yep, and peace to all your fellow Abrahamists also...And all the other non- Christians too...Which is the  majority of the Worlds population.

That's assuming that Adam and Eve were created of course....And there's no verifiable proof of that....Only a mythological tale.

Non-human intelligence (No such thing as artificial intelligence) has got plenty of time to evolve, just as we have had plenty of time.

The interesting thing is, human intelligence is responsible for the development and advancement of non-human intelligence....Certainly could be regarded as a part of some sort of masterplan....Though it might be foolish to assume a masterplan for the benefit of humanity.

Hoyle...Intelligent universe....Your link.

Intelligent universe is all well and good...but wherefrom came the original intelligence source....if Hoyle proposes one then he needs to explain the other....Simple logic.

Its what's referred to as starting at the beginning....Rather than after the beginning....Most if not all creation hypotheses start after the beginning. 

In extreme circumstances 7.6 billion people are not going to adapt quickly enough, though one or two might do...Speculation.

And like you, I do not share F-laws overwhelming faith in the ability of the Earth to keep sustaining human demand at current levels, in the long term.

Though adapting to this issue is probably what we are currently in the process of doing. 

As far as I have always seen it the only basic law that needs to be overcome, is something cannot be created form nothing.

 Intelligence but not as a material entity, for sure...But wherefrom is the initial intelligence source.

And I will have to pass on the "five convex polyhedra of universe".

And I would suggest that Cosmic Laws are only relative to post-cosmic creation.

Well, there's a coincidence......I had cannellini beans yesterday and broad beans and cannellini beans this evening....I'm a beans fan.

Thanks for the info.

And here's to the next forty years.

Saw it and enjoyed it, probably 40 years ago....Perhaps it's worth another look, but definitely not 24/7 for 5 days.

Hoyle's hypothesis fell down in the first paragraph I read.... That is to say all hypotheses including Hoyle's require faith in the impossible.

To explain the possible one must first explain the impossible.

So a couple of simple questions relevent to your reply ( # 36) that you might understand then.

Why is christopher_best a hardened anti-theist rather than a toughened sceptic?

Are hardened theists not also possibly corrupt?

Priceless!

Though, the analogy of the analogy is sound enough.

Perhaps the universe is a Giants teardrop.

This would just mean that I wouldn't watch TV, or use social media for 5 days....Which isn't a bad thing.

Though what would the purpose of the exercise be?

Perhaps they are a toughened sceptic, rather than a hardened anti-theist.

Though perhaps, hardened/toughened theists don't even bother to feign to care...they simply attempt only to discredit.

Just a couple of observation based suggestions.

And if I'm going to be known as a fruit....I'd like to be  a plum.

Yep.

Information regarding Covid-19 is so woolly, I'm starting to become a conspiracy theorist.

People die....People are born....Same old shit for the time being Eugene.

Covid 19...One assumes that it is real...Though one knows no one that has had it, nor knows no one who knows anyone that has had it....I've only seen media images of people on ventilators and bemasked people in other countries burying the thousands of victims.

Do you actually have first hand experience?

Were you perhaps  bored or tired when you came up with this?

I suppose we are all egotistical to a certain degree, and to deny this would perhaps be extremely egotistical.

Event, duration, ergo Toyota flaw....But apparently not, so why?.....Answer this and you can rightly be deemed to exceed ego.

Well, just about every religion centred creation hypothesis is embellished with humanity based mythology.... In fact I cannot readily think of any examples that aren't.

And I have never seen any evidence to suggest that popular Abrahamism is any different.

So you win what?

The babbling contest perhaps.
