are you folding yet.......learn by doing...
the truth of science is evidential proof. All science is unproven.
to put it simply
"hell i dont know...i'm just making this up as i go"
p.s. tell me when you cant fold anymore

God is god, and it doesn't matter what god is called or not, ultimatley all the "worship" will only go to the one god if there isn't any others.
Get to the point quickly and stop wasting my time, I am supposed to be revising you know lol
I haven't stated any beliefs at all. And by your own admission they're non-evident, so why invent them? Or do you mean "without evidence"? Your logic is hard to follow...
You think it's possible for the existence of God to be disproven. I'm telling you that you're wrong.
Without proof, well done. Good argument.
why should i tell you something that you learn better by figuring out yourself.
Its a lazy student who expects all the answers to be put on his plate and all he needs to do is memorize them and repeat them in the right order at the exam..
Yeah, folding paper more than 7 times is a mission.
But that's my point. Even if there were such a point of ultimate "understanding" it wouldn't really be understanding. It'd just be a huge unified theory, presumably a mathematical one, that predicted the behaviour of everything in the universe. The moment you say that it explains why we're here, or otherwise you take a giant leap of faith.
You're still assuming that science can explain everything. Maybe it can, I don't know. But this is a faith-based stance with no evidence.
The context is pretty self explanatary in the vast majority of them...
The Bible said:
I could go on, there are loads of them. Equally as many in the muslim texts.
To end on a lighter note....
Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian... (No offense intended btw)
10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.
9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.
8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.
7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!
6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.
5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.
4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."
3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.
2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.
1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.
Argh! You're getting tangled in a mess of self-referential definitions here. You can't scientifically prove the ability of the scientific method to prove the existence of God. And that's not a typo, but it's what you're asking me to do.
I think I'm fighting a losing battle here...

The option I want isn't in the poll...
"I'd like to believe, but I don't believe"
"I'd like to believe, but I don't believe"
What do you mean by understanding then? What is there to understand about inanimate physical objects apart from their properties?
This isn't describing human thoughts or subconsciousness.
A lot of the very deep physics is derived from symmetry relations and gauge theory. Its very mathematical stuff (kosher I might add), it gives a deeper understanding about physical phenomenon by simply considering symmetry properties (its abstract I know).
Symmetry in time gives energy conservation. Translation symmetry gives momentum conservation, etc/

6 folds. Dead end. Can't fold it anymore.
it is yep though theoretically do-able
the point is.. imagine the piece of paper is current scientific knowledge. Each time you fold the piece of paper you are refining said theories about the world. So it changes all the time and you are apparently getting closer to the truth? No that will never happen.
Which is why its an evidential truth.
The concept of a proof which is unprovable does not make any sense. (edit this space to be used for certain disclaimers
)clear enuff Sid ?
