Are IQ tests actually useful? Do they work?

How does it feel to know that the greatest scientist currently alive is a biologist?

This is so fucking hilarious.

I'm not religious whatsoever and I think Richard Dawkins is a troll.

Just because you're a scientist doesn't mean you must rule out the vastness of unobservable phenomena.

Anyone with me?

Of course dreaming requires a brain. Where do you think dreams and thoughts occur? In your "spirit"?

Hawking: God did not create Universe

Modern physics leaves no place for God in the creation of the Universe, Stephen Hawking has concluded.

Just as Darwinism removed the need for a creator in the sphere of biology, Britain’s most eminent scientist argues that a new series of theories have rendered redundant the role of a creator for the Universe.

In his forthcoming book, an extract from which is published exclusively in Eureka, published today with The Times, Professor Hawking sets out to answer the question: “Did the Universe need a creator?” The answer he gives is a resounding “no”.

Far from being a once-in-a-million event that could only be accounted for by extraordinary serendipity or a divine hand, the Big Bang was an inevitable consequence of the laws of physics, Hawking says.

“Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist,” he writes.

“It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the Universe going,” he finds.

physicicist : believe in quantum inmortality

biologists : they know that when the brain dies conciousness dissapear (since it is made of alive brain)

biologists = 1

physicists = 0

Extremist Christians Aim to Create Armed Militias Against "Godless"

if we are religious animals why are there atheists?

Dear Mr. Dawkins,

I am a student from Croatia. Unlike the most of young people I was always thinking about life, human behaviour, moral far more then about music, sex and alcohol. When I was about 13 years old I started to realize absurdity of religion. From that moment on it was just a topic for mocking (in bill maher sense). As I was getting older it was becoming more serious and annoying. Very soon, my twin brother came to same conclusion and was a lot more passionate about it so he read a few books including yours. Naturally, he told me important things from those books so I know a lot of things. All in all, it makes me very sad looking at theists ruining society because of some book. My biggest passion is engineering so I study electrical engineering. I don't like social sciences because they are very complex and abstract but I'm very much puzzled by theism so i hope that some day I will contribute to your goal.

So, i just wanted to thank you for dedicating your life to enlighten truth. I am sure that someday your goal will be achieved because you built strong foundation and someone will recognise it and continue with your magnitude of will.

P.S: you must forgive me if my english is not so good, i did my best.

Thank You,

Goran Selinger
