NOAA: last decade was warmest, global warming "undeniable"

I need to cut back though. I have noticed I am sprouting feathers, and quoting everything I hear.

Nah, that would never happen. You're an original guy, focused on the issues that are really important to humanity....

Retired NORAD Officer's New Book Predicts a Tentative Worldwide UFO Display on October 13, 2010

'Author says the event to be the first in a series intended to avert a planetary catastrophe resulting from increasing levels of carbon-dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere dangerously approaching a “critical mass.” '

CO2 is a poisonous gas?

stupid ufos. they have all the solutions, but they have to set a tenative date to make a big display instead of just hookin' a brotha up. if i catch them, i kick them in the crotch for being stingy and arrogant with their power.

In reference to repeated statements I've made about how our physical theories (aka. models) apply only to specific circumstances / scales / criteria and etc, thought it might be nice to corroborate my claims with some current 'science':

In a Scientific American essay based on their new book A Grand Design, Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow are now claiming physicists may never find a theory of everything. Instead, they propose a "family of interconnected theories" might emerge, with each describing a certain reality under specific conditions...

Hawking & Mlodinow: No 'theory of everything'

[dante]

The theory of everything is self defining isn't it ? The universe exist because it had to, otherwise it wouldn't. Dunno why it takes a Stephen Hawkins to figure that out.

[valis]

Well tbh I didn't really need hawking to figure that out, but if anyone that relies on 'the experts' to define things is still paying attention maybe it will help them.

[dante]

I think he said that the universe didnt need god to kick start it - I always thought they were one and the same myself.

[garyb]

all thoughts pale before reality...

even as a sentence fragment, what's with the meaning of that!?

[garyb]

well, hey!
it's a computer model! that makes it real, and even real ackurate, right? like, oh my god! auto-matically!

[dante]

Basically it means I agree with Hawkins - per Occams Raiser if you use god to explain the origin of the universe youre still left with the problem of explaining the origin of god.

[garyb]

such nonsense.
nothing needs to be explained. humans can't understand everything. everything and everyone has some limit. reason won't explain everything. be happy with explanations that work for the moment and then get on with it. proving or disproving god won't fix your day.

the reality of existance is enough and if it's not, that's too bad. you're not getting any better than that.

I agree The reality of existance is enough.

Ah yes, back to our philosophical roots...does the "Logos" (thought form, speech etc) actually represent anything but itself?
(I think therefore I am? The map is not the territory?)

I liked R.A.W.'s thoughtful explanations, including:
"Reality" is what doesn't go away when you stop "believing" in it.

and the everpresent contribution from "unknown":
“Reality is the only word in the English language that should always be used in quotes.”
