Why do poor people even want to live. God, who is a trillionaire, created the Universe for rich people. Actually, the kids of rich people.
Remember than Eisenhower had a 92 percent top tax rate on the rich to reduce the huge debt from WW2.
Trump has now made that zero on the $37 trillion debt.
Hmmmm, Incel is a portmanteau of "involuntary celibate" and refers to a member of an online subculture, primarily composed of heterosexual men, who define themselves by their inability to find romantic or sexual partners despite desiring them.
Critics argue that science is a a leap of faith is flawed because scientific "faith" is methodological and provisional, unlike religious faith. Science is distinguished by its self-correcting nature, falsifiability, and reliance on verifiable evidence, allowing it to be tested and revised rather than accepted as dogma. Thus, while the axiomatic foundations of science may involve a leap of trust, the empirical process itself is designed to minimize reliance on unverified belief.
Hmmm, Jesus teaches in Matthew 19:9 and Mark 10:9 that remarriage after divorce (except in cases of sexual immorality, per Matthew) constitutes adultery, suggesting the first marriage bond remains intact. Doesn't that show that Trump is an Atheist?
Hmmm, the premise that a temperature decrease from 1941 to 1965 was a specific "adherent’s requirement" is inaccurate; rather, the Big Bang theory predicted a specific temperature for the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation based on the expansion and cooling of the early universe, which was confirmed by observations in 1965.
In 1948, physicists George Gamow, Ralph Alpher, and Robert Herman calculated that the residual radiation from the Big Bang should have a temperature of approximately 5 K. Around the same time, Robert Dicke independently predicted a temperature of about 10 K. These theoretical predictions did not cite a specific temperature change between 1941 and 1965, but rather the absolute current temperature resulting from the universe's expansion since the Big Bang.
The discovery of this radiation in 1965 by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson confirmed these predictions. They detected an isotropic microwave signal corresponding to a temperature of approximately 3 K, which was later refined to 2.725 K. This discovery provided strong observational evidence that the universe had cooled from its initial hot, dense state, supporting the Big Bang model over the competing Steady State theory.
Kermos, you have extremely poor reasoning ability. Well, you do think the Universe is 6000 years old.
Most criminals in the United States identify as religious, with Christian denominations (particularly Protestants and Catholics) comprising the vast majority of the prison population, while atheists are significantly underrepresented, often comprising less than 1% of inmates despite being a larger share of the general population.
Several lines of evidence and theoretical arguments challenge Pavel Kroupa's claim that early elliptical galaxies (ETGs) account for the CMB:
Blackbody spectrum. The CMB matches a perfect blackbody at 2.725 K to extraordinary precision (confirmed by COBE/FIRAS). Discrete galaxy sources cannot reproduce this — as Ethan Siegel put it in his rebuttal, ETGs produce energy "in the wrong wavelength range and on the wrong angular scales to meaningfully contribute to the CMB."
Angular scale mismatch. Individual ETGs subtend less than 1/100th of an arcminute, while CMB anisotropies are resolved on scales of ~1 degree. They cannot generate the observed fluctuation pattern.
Baryon acoustic oscillations. The CMB's anisotropy spectrum contains BAO peaks — imprints of sound waves in the primordial plasma. These are a direct signature of a hot, dense early universe and have no analogue in galaxy emission.
The 1.4% → 100% leap is unsupported. A peer review on Pith (2026) notes that the upper bound ("up to 100% of CMB energy density") rests on "assumptions that are neither derived nor mutually consistent." The conservative 1.4% figure is a real calculation, but it doesn't justify discarding the CMB's primordial interpretation.
CIB is already measured and distinct. The Cosmic Infrared Background from dusty star-forming galaxies is well-characterized, separable from the CMB at sufficient resolution, and carries only ~3–4% of the CMB's energy. Kroupa's ETG light is not the same thing.
In short, the CMB's blackbody shape, its BAO structure, and its angular power spectrum all point to a thermal origin in a hot early plasma — features that discrete galaxy sources cannot replicate.
C'mon Man, you are a genius.
Yes, definitely a leap of Faith.
Here is another picture of him
I'm guessing Kermos looks just like him.
This is what he looked like:
Geoffrey Burbidge was a renowned astrophysicist, but his later cosmological views are widely considered incorrect by the scientific consensus. While he co-authored the seminal B2FH paper that correctly explained stellar nucleosynthesis (how stars create elements), his long-standing rejection of the Big Bang theory and his advocacy for the quasi-steady state cosmology were ultimately disproven.
Key points regarding his scientific standing:
In summary, while Burbidge was a brilliant and influential scientist whose early work was correct and vital, his contrarian cosmological views were wrong, and he died as one of the last significant proponents of a rejected cosmological model.
Sorry, I don't look like Joey Tribbiani anymore, but "How You Doin'?"
I look like this
Hmmmm, because Hinduism is pluralistic, it also accommodates philosophical schools that lean toward pantheism, monism (where the individual soul, Atman, is identical to Brahman), or even non-theistic and agnostic viewpoints. According to traditional Hindu thought, a person can focus on a path of truth, ethics, and self-realization without necessarily centering their life around an external deity.
The assertion that redshift is falsified as a distance or age determinant is a fringe viewpoint, primarily found in alternative cosmology sources, and is contradicted by mainstream scientific consensus and observational data. Standard cosmology relies on redshift (z) combined with the Hubble-Lemaître Law (v=H0d) and specific cosmological models (like $\Lambda$CDM) to convert redshift into lookback time and proper distance, a method validated by independent "distance ladder" measurements using Cepheid variables and Type Ia supernovae.
Mainstream astronomy acknowledges that redshift-based distances are not direct measurements but model-dependent inferences, particularly at high redshift (z>1) where the simple linear Hubble law fails. Critics sometimes argue that redshift could be caused by "tired light" or other non-expansion mechanisms, but these alternatives are largely falsified by observations such as the time dilation of supernova light curves and the surface brightness of galaxies, which align with expanding universe predictions rather than static ones.
Mel Brooks is 100 years old.
Yes, a significant segment of her community, often referred to as "Meowists," actively worship her, referring to her as "our true god" or "Meowgod," and engage in rituals such as prayer and artistic depictions of her in Meowist uniforms.
MAP stands for Minor-Attracted Person, an umbrella term used to describe individuals who experience sexual or romantic attraction to minors (individuals below the age of majority or legal consent, typically under 18). The term was coined in 2007 by the organization B4U-ACT to serve as a more encompassing and less stigmatizing alternative to "pedophile," which strictly refers to attraction to prepubescent children
Why isn't some God on Facebook?
OK, I see what is going on here. I estimate Debby's IQ at 160 and K's at 45-47.
The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) is considered highly accurate and robust, serving as the most perfect blackbody spectrum ever measured in nature. Measurements from the COBE, WMAP, and Planck satellites have confirmed its spectrum matches theoretical predictions for a temperature of 2.725 K with exquisite precision, making it a cornerstone of the Big Bang cosmological model.
While the overall temperature and spectrum are measured with extreme accuracy, the CMBR exhibits tiny anisotropies (temperature fluctuations) on the order of one part in 100,000. These minute variations are critical for cosmology, as they reveal the density fluctuations that led to the formation of galaxies and provide precise constraints on the age, geometry, and composition of the universe. Despite some minor unresolved anomalies at large angular scales and tensions with other cosmological measurements (like the Hubble constant), the CMBR data itself is among the most reliable and precise in modern physics.
Nevertheless, if only a third of Jews have faith in God, as described in the Bible, where does that leave Judaism? Is it inevitably on the same downward path as Christianity? Not necessarily. A key indicator of the decline of organised religion in Britain is ‘bums-on-pews’ – i.e. that only people who believe in God are likely to attend church. Even if that is true, it doesn’t seem to apply to Jews. In the Jewish case, according to the survey’s data, more than half (56%) of paid-up synagogue members do not believe in God, and nearly two in five Jewish atheists belong to a synagogue. Moreover, irrespective of whether they belong to a synagogue or not, two out of three (65%) Jews who don’t believe in God attend synagogue at least on the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. Jews, it seems, are pretty comfortable belonging without believing.

According to the 2022 National Jewish Identity Survey by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research (JPR), 25% of British Jews do not believe in God or any higher power, while 34% believe in God as described in the Bible and 41% believe in a higher spiritual force but not God.
Among those who are members of a synagogue, 56% do not believe in God, with 44% believing in God as described in the Bible. Additionally, 69% of British Jews overall consider belief in God to be not central to being a good Jew, and two-thirds of non-believers attend synagogue at least on the High Holy Days.
OBTW, I look like Cypher.
Hmmm, Wanjun Xie, chairman of the China Democracy Party, alleged on X that Kim Jong-un had suffered a severe cerebral hemorrhage and fallen into a coma.
