Still looking for some good sites folks!

Sounds scary.....

The Rationalizer has some videos detailing misrepresentation of science by koranists and debunking them. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=therationalizer&oq=rationalizer&aq=2ms&aqi=g2g-ms1&aql=gs_l=youtube.1.2.0l2j0i5i10.9001.17528.0.20842.34.17.0.0.0.3.221.1491.6j7j1.17....

Hi all, Is there anywhere on the webz with a list of scientific claims from the koran and their subsequent debukation (is that a word/ ;) ) ? The reason i ask is that I had a really interesting discussion with one of my very bright science students who is adamant that the Koran is a source of accura...

Ahhh!! There's nothing better than getting back from a hard day at the chalkface, crack a beer and read up on the latest pl0bfest!

...MrsC informs me that I'll look more like Noel Edmonds....

I'm on a mission to look like Barry Gibb.

Here's to Robin!

Thats 1043

Thanks! What would that be called in English? A dodecazillion?

'Shitloads'.

Yes they can.

If you tell me how, in technical detail, I'll give you a physics certificate!

Roffle !

On things being around since the Big Bang, If you take the view that the evolution of universe is strictly deterministic according to laws of physics and determinate initial conditions, no uncertainty, no stochastic processes, then you could reasonably say that everything that is around now began t...

How about the talking machines you want to discuss, do they have such experiences?

If they say so.

Yes.

Cheers Graham!

Been at the chalkface all day.
Anyone have a summary?

Water just travels downwards. Do you think piss falling from an airplane has problems and solves them?

Yup.

It finds the shortest path to the ground.

No C required.



edit - how does it know how to do that?

You made the claim that problem solving was a conscious activity. Can you back up your claim with a citation? :cheers: Yes i claim problem solving is a conscious activity. I can offer an example of conscious problem solving: i have an itch on my hand. I scratch it. Now, feel free to offer an exampl...

I see the red.... You don't comment on whether or not my example is that of problem solving by a non-conscious system. :thumbup: Its your decision if you want to arbitrarily call all particles problem solving machines. Let's put the origin of my post into context. You accuse Bill of circular reason...

You still haven't commented yet on my example of problem solving without a consciousness. :popcorn: What example? A river flowing from source to sea follows the optimum path. :thumbup: Oh you mean the example to which i commented (see red text)? I see the red.... You don't comment on whether or not...

A river flowing from source to sea follows the optimum path. A particle that moves right after the big bang also. Do all particles in the universe problem solve? Fine with me, but it sure isnt emergence. You still haven't commented yet on my example of problem solving without a consciousness. :popc...
