Why do angry atheists assume that believers don’t believe in Science?
Question by wisemancumth: Why do angry atheists assume that believers don’t believe in Science?
I believe in evolution, cause and effect and I accept most of the mainstream theories of theoretical physics just as much as any scientist. I also believe that intelligent design is a possibility. How does evolution disprove God?
Most of the out spoken atheist have a knee jerk reaction to that theory. They also claim they believe in science but most physists actually believe in God or are agnostics. The angry atheist also claim science uses verifiable facts. That’s wrong. Parallel universe, multiple dimension and most of quantum physics theories haven’t been proven except through reason. There is also reason behind intelligent design. The big one is ‘we’re here’. I’m tired of the Angry atheist kindergarten arguments for why they don’t believe in the possibility of God. Grow up. Comparing leprechauns and Santa clause to a god that created the universe?
peter k. You have hair growing out of your ears because of genes and hormones. Maybe it’s also why you dont think.
why do character in movies do so many stupid thinks and get themselves into such crazy situations? Because the writer wanted it that way.
madhukar maybe Einstein and Newton didn’t fight because Einstein was born about a hundred years after Newton died.
entropy-rythm. Suspension of reason (faith) is another assumption atheists make. I have never given up on reason. I never would have finished college or been able to do my jobs in science if I had. Also, Everyone has faith. Everytime you get in your car you are having faith that your brakes wont give out.
every scientist has faith that their collegues results are corrects. They wouldn’t be able to continue their research if they were checking all the thousands of others research.

As soon as you say “intelligent design” you lose all scientific credibility. If design is intelligent then how come hair is growing out of my ears? What sort of fool designed that?
It might be comforting and reassuring to think that somebody created us and is looking out for us but science has no opinion about whether this is in fact the case.

what are various aspects of the economic crisis?
Question by [the original] Ashley: what are various aspects of the economic crisis?
I’m working on a 3 page paper for my Econ class, and have lots of freedom in what direction to take. I know there are many aspects of the current economic crisis, but I’m not sure what angle to take. I’m leaning toward discussing how the stock market works and how the economic crisis is effecting it. My second choice is discussing the credit crisis and how its effecting the housing market.
just looking for input, or any other interesting angles to research that I may not have thought of. Thanks in advance!

Answer by TK
You might begin with the mortgage foreclosure crisis that has had a tremendously negative effect on home prices and which has produced record losses for the many investors who own asset-backed securities, which were intended to produce high yields from loans secured by mortgages on what was considered a nearly risk-free asset class, namely the American residential housing sector.
You could then examine how the absence of a market for those asset-backed securities created the liquidity crisis that effectively caused the demise of Bear Stearns. Merrill Lynch barely survived, as you may recall, by selling itself to Bank of America. Lehman Brothers, who was in negotiations to sell itself to a foreign bank, as I recall, but did not consummate the deal, was allowed to fail, and that was a message sent by the Treasury Department and the Fed intended about moral hazard to the other financial institutions and their shareholders. But instead of having the desired effect, whatever that might have been given the unrealistic prospects for the realization of any desired effects, the Fed and Treasury Department instead precipitated a credit crisis.
The credit crisis has been abating slowly in terms of the interest rates charged on loans, but there are far fewer loans being made now than before the credit crisis because damaged balance sheets have made for far fewer credit-worthy borrowers. This has exacerbated an economic contraction that many thought would be confined to the housing sector. As the economy continues to contract across more sectors, companies cut costs to make up for lost revenues and unemployment rises, which further contributes to the economic contraction as total consumer demand for goods and services decreases, which causes companies to cut more costs until their choice is either going out of business or seeking protection from creditors through bankruptcy proceedings.
Strategically important publicly traded companies like Goldman Sachs, whose earnings are depressed, won’t go out of business because of the injections of capital it received from the Treasury Department. For companies like GM, whose earnings are also depressed because its products cannot be sold unless consumers have easy access to affordable automobile loans, and whose capital has not been replenished through a federal government loan or stock acquisition program, there is a real possibility that they will be forced to seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and that this action will beget hundreds more Chapter 7 or 11 bankruptcy proceedings that will further speed the deterioration of the economy.
So that’s a different angle of how and why things have played out as they have. Failing to address the mortgage foreclosure crisis forcefully let the genie out of the bottle. As a result, we have had to address a financial economy crisis, are still hemmed in economically by the credit crisis, are beginning to see the outline of an unemployemt crisis, and are arguing angrily with one another about the merits of extending a financial aid package to the Big 3 auto makers, all three of whom will fail without it since no private capital will be forthcoming.
It could have all been avoided if forceful action had been taken when mortgage foreclsoures began spiraling out of control. But in America it almost always takes a crisis, and even then it is sometimes impossible to find common ground and the political will to do what is right to protect the broader economy from disaster notwithstanding the considerable merit that could be found in the arguments of the do nothing brigade if this wasn’t a global economic crisis of unprecedented magnitude.
Good luck with your economics paper.

Q&A: What major should I choose: Interior Design or International Business?
Question by Alexa: What major should I choose: Interior Design or International Business?
I love the artistic side and the architectural side of interior design. When I walk into a room in any building I see how it can be better and Ive taken a summer workshop at the Art Institute. However, I love to learn about cultures and my dream would be able to travel. I feel like I have a knack for business. I cant do a double major in these, so I must choose one. Thank You!

Answer by Doc Martin
Neither.
Interior Design is in deep recession and will be for the rest of the decade.
Companies don’t hire “International Businessmen” straight from school. It’s a bogus degree.

Who would prefer legally replacing representative govt with a true daily direct Democracy in USA?
Question by bulabate: Who would prefer legally replacing representative govt with a true daily direct Democracy in USA?
Your brain dead if you believe any named party & putting lawmaking trust in the hands of the few is going to benefit the citizen majority under our form of capitalism. Never has never will by design.
What is so hard to understand about the citizens gaining full legislative rule & control over money/business/govt? If you do NOT gain this legal power you will always be serving the wealthy few or starving/facing financial insecurity etc.

Answer by LibertyLover101
Educate yourself. Our founders hated Democracy. They knew it would be the tyranny of the majority or mob rule. That’s why we are a Constitutional Republic.
What right do other Citizens have to tell other citizens what to do with their property. Smells of Communism.
Show me the word Democracy in the Declaration of Independence or the Bill of Rights?
Democracy is NOT compatible with Freedom.
I know, the truth hurts sometimes.

Q&A: How does interracial dating make me a self hater?
Question by TJF The Mentalist: How does interracial dating make me a self hater?
My black friends tell me to find a black guy but all of the black guys at my school are stupid and immature. They don’t even date the black guys at my school! Just because my boyfriend is Filipino doesn’t mean I hate my black race. I’m mixed anyways so even if I date a black guy it’s still semi-interracial dating. They are using flawed logic right? I think they’re racist.
