He's has a law degree.

But agreed, Hitchens kind of didn't try or gave up or something.

>>4634268

I've come to this conclusion as well.

/thread.

O, and I am entirely ignorant to the atheistic community, but why does Richard Dawkins refuse to debate certain members of the religious community?

This just gives them more cannon fodder...

>hurrr he knows he's wrong so he won't fight our guy

>>4634229
anon means that Hitchens assumes that *IF* an entity exists, it created the universe specifically for us.

>>4634189
Riveting argument there, brother.

Care to expand on it a bit?

>>4634160
Not to mention it is mathematically probable there is other life.

>>4634119
Where... says the sentence maker with no capitalization or punctuation.

>>4634109
Right, it seems that the religious camp usually, at some point in the argument, falls to fallacies such as "You can just look around and FEEL it in your heart," or "As a Christian you can FEEL the Holy Spirit in your heart." The Doctor used that second sentence as part of his argument for a god's existence. But, in the same vein, Hitchens used the same fallacy in his favor, essentially saying that he FELT that there was no god for fear of it being incredibly wasteful with universal resources, relative to our insignificance.

So, again, neither was able to entirely refute the other's claims. Though I suppose if it was the case that one camp were able to come up with irrefutable evidence, the majority of rational thinkers would stop wondering about such matters.

>>4634087
Well then...

Guessing this is old news.

I don't frequent /sci/ very regularly, so I have no idea how frequent "god" threads are, but will bump once for discussion if anyone is interested.

Hello, /sci/.

I recently watched the 2:30:00 long debate between Dr. William Lane Craig and Christopher Hitchens.

I heard arguments from both sides, tryed to remain as objective as possible despite my preconceived notions and beliefs, and decided that neither argument was satisfactory for the topic, which was the "existence of god."

Am I expecting too much? Or do we simply NOT KNOW for sure.

I tend to take an agnostic approach to the entire matter but apparently that is unsatisfactory to both camps. What are /sci/'s thoughts on the matter?

>>4542325
>>4542328
thanks. and duly noted.
Also, oil will become obsolete under a type 1, that is his point.

the entire geopolitical system would change radically.

>>4542320
yes... christ im not even a /sci/fag

>>4542318
What?
can you elaborate

>>4542316
useless

the majority of you are squandering any intellectual regard I had for this board before this thread.

>>4542304

>i believe we have reached those steps

He is claiming to be transitioning us or have the means to make us a type 1 civilization.

How did I misconstrue anything??
You get the fucking point, regardless, do you realize how long Ive been up to get to just this point??

>>4542305

I believe MM is roughly equivalent to MSM or mainstream media

>>4542300

I guarantee I can get better responses than
>You can count to potato! Congratulations.

I'm not going there with this.

>>4542297

The revolution is going to happen, regardless.
Your apathy will not change that.
But that's not what this thread is for.
The question remains as to whether becoming a type I civilization is feasible within our lifetimes.

>>4542296

He could very well be crazy

>>4542294

/sci/ is more useless than /b/, good to know.

WHAT SAY YOU, /sci/?!

>>4542286

The first one is supposed to be 1/8 not 1/4

But he did not start off making such a claim. he started with a different message and only after much questioning by myself and others did he reveal everything else you've read.

What say you now, /sci/?

>>4542285

I promise I am not trolling you. I will admit, I do troll from time to time but this is not something I would fuck around with.

Call it tinfoiley, it's not like we're pulling strings. I'll be blunt and tell you what we're doing.

We're going to broadcast a message using the MM, the poisoned well I was speaking of. Then, on the same day, we spill the black blood of the beast. I am sure you know what that means.

When people are forced to extremes they will react. We will show them the truth by hijacking what has blinded them, then we will give them that extreme.

I will probably die doing this, but I am okay knowing that. That is all I can say.

It depends on what you want it to be. We offer only the truth and the means, it is you who decides the outcome. But know this, my friends;

This year is the tipping point. This will be the final conflict between our lying rulers who have deceived us for centuries, and the populace of the world. It is your choice and your choice alone to pick who you will die for, or if you will simply bury your head in the sand. Heed my warning when I say to you an era is about to end, and only one party can live to see the new one.

They say the transitioning steps between Type 0 and I are the most difficult steps in a species history. I believe we have reached those steps.

I will not tell you when in may it will occur. But be ready to spring into action, wherever you are. I don't see that as a problem, seeing as I've viewed your posts for a long time here. You're quite the revolutionary fellow. We need more like you.

>>4542280

It ain't. Trust me. We're simply the match that lights the fire. You, the people will ultimately be in the reigns of this revolution. Choose wisely. It's going to be utter hell, but the end result will be beautiful.

Haha, not by foreign hands.

There is only one way to cause the people to arise, and that is to dilute the poisoned well they drink from daily with the truth, and to sever the artery that is hidden from view.

There will be blood. Be ready to die.
