Religion has "applications and implications" to shit as well. Still doesn't make it science.

To be science, you need to correspond to reality, to have evidence to back up your unique claims. String theory does not, religion does not.

>But the things their stories are meant to describe are just as valid now

Have you ever read the Bible? The Quran? Any mainstream holy book? You know that 95% of the shit in there applies to situations that don't happen to people anymore. Tons of shit about the rules of being a proper slave-master, selling your daughter into prostitution, and murdering your children. The shit is fucking sickening.

Yeah, there is the 5% containing retarded fairytales, but you would find better moral lessons from any moderns-day childrens book.

quick question about grad schools /sci/

say i get accepted into a grad program. do i have to enroll right away? or can i defer enrollment for a semester or two? i realize this is probably varies according to university, but i was just wondering for a general case.

>Organisms compete for their genotype, not their species at large

Are you really this stupid?
Even assuming your bullshit it true, it still HAS THE FUCKING SAME EFFECT "CONTINUATION OF THE FUCKING SPECIES".

Statistically, caring about your kid, your neigbor, your community, a stranger, etc... ALL HAVE THE SAME FUCKING EFFECT DUMBASS!

>>4173796
Nope. You totally didn't understand that article AT FUCKING ALL.

The human brain will "degrade" from being dead dumbfuck. When you try and "bring it back" it will be all fucked up, it will not be you anymore, it probably won't even properly function anymore. It will be "blank".

>I'm sure you know any possibility given infinite time is "almost certainly" going to happen

Nope. I don't think you understand how probability works. You need to read a book, or take a basic class or something, BECUASE YOU SOUND DUMB AS FUCK RIGHT NOW.

Please delete this shit thread at once.

Do you remember climate-gate? shit like that arises from the public trying to "do science".

Basically, NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENED IN CLIMATE-GATE, NO CHARGES, NO FRADULANET OR UNETHICAL ACTIVITY. NO ONE WAS FOUND TO HAVE DONE ANYTHING WRONG.

Still, now half of america thinks "global warming is a hoax", WTF AMERICA! Bascially cause they jumped to false conclusions.

The general public is so fucking prone to jumping to false conculsions, and not thinking rationally, that any little thing could set them off down some fucked up path of no return.

>'quantum foam'

This is not science dumbshit. Quantum foam is not part of the standard model, nor is it part of special relativity, quantum field theory, OR ANY FUCKING ACTUAL FIELD OF SCIENCE.

So far, quantum foam is just a bullshit hypothesis, like string theory. IT IS NOT FUCKING SCIENCE! IT HAS NOT BEEN VERIFIED AS TRUE, NOR HAS IT MADE ANY TESTIBLE PREDICTIONS.

Additionally, the concept of 'quantum foam" DOESN'T QUANTIZE SPACE! WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THIS BULLSHIT FROM?

Exactly how fucking retarded are you?

>the bible

Tell me then, why are atheists more familiar with the bible (and religion in general) then christians (in general)? In fact most christans have never read the bible.

If they really believe it was the word of god, they would take the time to read the whole damm think, right? Yet, they don't? WTF? I'm thinking most christians know deep down that it is all bullshit. They are just going through the motions out of tradition.

>I think that people can believe whatever the hell they want

No they can't. We should not allow people to believe in lies. It only hurts themselves and society at large.

Belief in lies is called "denialism" and it is a huge problem, with often disastrous effects.

Anyone can do the grunt work. And for a mathematican it is easy to pick that shit up again. Knowing how to do grunt work better isn't really a fucking benifit.

You really think math grad schools care how good you are at calculus? LMFAO

There is no "calculus research" dumbshit. No on gives a shit about that petty stuff.

>>2571777
Ok, then.
Why aren't most christians out killing the non-believers? WTF is wrong with them? It is in the bible? Sounds like they are just posers!

None of them will get into heaven! KILL IN THE NAME OF THY LORD!

>>2514896
fuck you I'm not reading all that. I'm severely sleep deprived.
I just wanted to point out that calling (any) god a "scientific" concept is fucking idiotic.

The very concept of a god is inherently unscientific.

You need to stop posting now.

You don't have science backing you dude, all you got are opinions. Have fun with that shit.
