You can easily google or go on youtube to watch some videos of some examples. How bout a guy pulling a 10 tonne truck? Not to mention the friction of the tyres!

You are making unproved assumptions.

Yes I believe so

Hm...just thinking about this. If everything was deterministic, then wouldn't that help to prove the butterfly effect?

Exactly, it's there whether we know it is or not. It's simple logic

Sorry but I don't have that belief. How do you know that Pluto exists? Have you yourself observed pluto in anyway? Or have you just been told that it exists?

Okay let me ask you a question. If there were no humans on Earth - all not existing. Then would the world still exist? The simple answer is YES. You could also refer to the animals on earth. THEY know that they exist, and they know that their environment exists. In fact, they'd probably be...

Time is a measurement of change, so it certainly exists outside of our minds. To say that everything exists in our heads is just baloney, yes it is true to some extent, but you have to remember that things exist without observation. The rules that describe nature seem to be mathematical...

It sounds like a case of hard determinism vs a libertarian position (include compatibilism if you want to). Of course a libertarian position can either take the route of a supernatural soul (something which I believe), or of course, quantum mechanics.

Lol I don't really care about the terms. But yeah, I find that sort of belief really inconsistent.

Time does not exist in our head. Concepts of time does. Time is a dimension of our universe, and as such, does exist outside of our minds. If it was just an idea in our head, then why can't we move backwards in time? Why can we only remember the past, and not the future? If its not real, then...

Time is the measurement of change. There is change, therefore time exists. So we can say it is independent of observation.

Thanx for the posts guys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7Vt-TaTc5Y&feature=related

Okay well I've heard an argument those goes something like this: What are all the problems with this argument? As far as I can see...using the equation [e=mc[SUP]2[/SUP] ], that there has to be matter present in order for energy to exist. All matter has a mass. So without matter m=0. This...

Yes, I've done it before. Its a well known fact that when humans are under stress they can do amazing things :)
