    Is Labeling Evolution as Just a Theory in Textbooks a Reasonable Approach?

    But you have claimed that science cannot explain everything, in which case, how are you going to come to an explanation, if you desire an explanation? I think science, if it can't explain everything now, is our best chance at explaining everything later. But, perhaps, there will always be...

    Is Labeling Evolution as Just a Theory in Textbooks a Reasonable Approach?

    What "sect"? And if science cannot explain the existence of reality, how are you going to come to an explanation?

    Is Labeling Evolution as Just a Theory in Textbooks a Reasonable Approach?

    First of all, you are misunderstanding what atheism is. Atheism is not a claim that god does not exist, it is simply a lack of belief in a god or gods. That does not require the claim that god does not exist, nor does it require any claims at all. Second, most atheists do not claim to know any...

    No, it doesn't. Humans only desire explanations.

    High School Need Help Understanding a Pattern I Found

    I'm definitely sure this has already been discovered by some mathematician way back, but I just discovered it today. Here it is: 1+2+3=6 3+4+5=12 5+6+7=18 7+8+9=24 Etc. What is this called (if it's called anything), and how does it work? And I'm mystified as to how the first numbers in each...

    Graduate What is the Conceptual Meaning of Boltzmann's Constant?

    Are changes in the frequencies of vibrating strings the cause of entropy? Does entropy also count in the case of changes in the frequency of vibrating strings?

    Like how god separated light from darkness, eh? What's that supposed to mean?

    Will humanity overcome or be defeated

    Humanity will inevitably become extinct. It is law. The best we can do is prolong our existence.

    Graduate Why is there such little talk regarding superdeterminism?

    I'm reading this article right now. http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Superdeterminism The problem with this is that it's actually some form of limited compatibilism.

    The Neuroscience of Free Will: Believing in a Soul or Something Else?

    I don't agree with the religious kind of free will, but I'll either agree with compatibilism, or that there's simply determinism all the way through and free will is an illusion. I'm always stuck on the subject.

    Graduate Many-Worlds Theory: Existence of Multiple Universes

    Basically, I've been having this nagging idea that an infinite multiverse leads to an infinite regress - and, while there might not be any problems with an infinite regress existing, there's still the feeling that Many-Worlds is simply a cop-out. I use "feeling" in the intuitive sense, not the...

    Graduate Many-Worlds Theory: Existence of Multiple Universes

    Regardless of the infinite possibilities in an infinite multiverse where the "overlapping" doesn't matter? Sorry if I seem hostile, I just have this nagging intuition that Many-Worlds does not work. :)

    Graduate Many-Worlds Theory: Existence of Multiple Universes

    I'm not a huge fan of many-worlds theory, but I do think that multiple Universes can exist. My only problem is that if there's an infinite number of Universes, why hasn't a Universe collided with our own yet? Are there other Universes somehow keeping that Universe from colliding with ours? And...

    Graduate Physicists Theorize New Method for FTL Travel

    I've been thinking that dark energy was "the key" to FTL travel. It seems pretty obvious, since dark energy allows the Universe to expand faster than the speed of light...
