The key phrase in his blog is "self governance" as contrasted by "tyrant governance" or by a seemingly democratic process. Every new avenue, however, has its own pitfalls simply because human beings are involved in designing, developing, and implementing the governing process. As history tells us, human beings are eager to control through power. Does this mean all roads for self governing have the seeds of self destruction within them? A question that is begging for some thoughtful consideration. <br /><br />Mo MoustafaMo Moustafanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5510167243999608617.post-53615053432003502782010-10-27T16:32:35.903-07:002010-10-27T16:32:35.903-07:00indeed .

Scott , religion is a good thing as long as it is not abused , but i was also wondering , as Mohsen Bahrani , what do you think of the Qur'an , it is in fact very astonishing , how it up lifts the human values and moral values , whether you think or believe that there is a God , or not ,i was wondering whats your opinion on it , by the way , How can a scientist like S.Hawking make this claim : “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.” , it seems to me that the Professor is claiming that things can pop into being and that the universe spontaneously emerged from nothing. Philosophically speaking how can these physicists, like Stephen Hawking who adopt an indeterministic view, justify their conclusions? I don’t think they have a strong argument because everything we perceive in the universe comes into being via a cause, things change and events happen because of causes. I find Hawking's argument astonishingly stupid? It is an enigma to me how a scientist of his stature can delve into the ideological while not maintaining the impartiality and objectivity that empericism demands-for this argument is not scientific but an poor ideological foray by an atheist.<br /><br />Gravity by every definition I have ever come across is an attractive force between matter. It increases in magnitude with increasing matter. So how is it that gravity exists while matter doesn't if gravity is responsible for the birth of the universe from nothing? I think Newton would turn in his grave! As regards quantum physics, merely not understanding the system of quantum or sub-atomic physics is not a basis upon which to make grand statements about the existence of God or about the beginning of the universe. Would it not have been better to say "we don't understand how the universe came into existence through science."It's amazing how for years and years we have no answer to what created the Big Bang; what was the cause to the thing that started the universe. In 2010 we come up with a theory that it was gravity. Well, what created gravity! Back to square one i guess. It just gets to be self existing without an explanation? :) <br />According to the law of physics, energy cannot be made/created and energy cannot be destroyed. It just change from one form to another. <br />If we try to investigate the origin of this energy, this means that we are trying to find out how energy is created (which is opposing the law of physics). <br />Another thing also , if I may , the fleeting existence of sub-atomic particles is one thing; could the entire universe also appear out of nowhere, and continue to exist for at least 14 billion years? That is a big ask, as the Uncertainty Principle requires that the bigger the amount of mass or energy conjured up, the less time it can endure - and the universe is both hefty and old , How, for example, did it explain the fact that the universe not only exists, but is expanding?<br />I Hope I'll hear a response from you , Take care :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5510167243999608617.post-22820472269577374082010-10-26T17:12:45.890-07:002010-10-26T17:12:45.890-07:00http://hamzatzortzis.blogspot.com/ , scott , you m...http://hamzatzortzis.blogspot.com/ , scott , you might want to check this blog ,and try to refute this guy , he brings some reasonable arguments , and refutes secularism very well, actually , let me know if you contact him or engage in any debate with him , wherever that might be , your aproach and your thinking sounds interesting , but so does his , so please let me know , thanksAmrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17806802914045670837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5510167243999608617.post-67470142303730637972010-01-28T01:07:01.411-08:002010-01-28T01:07:01.411-08:00Just so happened to stumble upon your blog and wat...Just so happened to stumble upon your blog and watch this video... very interesting and describes exactly how I feel towards job performance in my own life.

Let me tell you why I liked it so much, especially today.<br /><br />For the past week I have been discussing intensively with a random person on the Net who told me he was my ''worst nightmare, a highly educated and opinionated Christian ready to tear down my presuppositions''. Turns out that this person is in fact very well informed indeed, but mostly on historical issues. He claims, for example, to accept science as a whole, but states that the Theory of Evolution is full of holes big enough to drive a truck through it... weird.<br /><br />Anyway, I wanted to mention this guy because he told me that the Judeo-Christian God he believes in cannot be proven. So I asked him how he could believe that something exists but cannot be proven. His answer was that God cannot be proven empirically, but that it could be proven using reason and logic. I told him that it's not sufficient to have a concept of something in your mind to conclude that this thing exists in reality...<br /><br />Now, I think that this is where your text comes face to face with his reasoning. Because what he is saying basically, without realizing it, is that his God is imaginary. Just like what we do for the square root of negative one, which does not exists in reality, he uses a label to identify something that he has a concept of in his mind, he calls that God.<br /><br />Your text made me realize that if he could simply admit that his God is imaginary, his whole belief system would become valid, without even needing to drop any of his values I guess. The problem however would then become finding a justification for his particular religion, but that's a whole different story...<br /><br />Cheers!World of Factshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066732051794158264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5510167243999608617.post-84278657272975872722009-07-16T11:02:38.997-07:002009-07-16T11:02:38.997-07:00Yes!

Known as backpropagating action potentials, these signals depolarize the dendritic arbor and provide a crucial component toward synapse modulation and long-term potentiation.Furthermore, a train of backpropagating action potentials artificially generated at the soma can induce a calcium action potential at the dendritic initiation zone in certain types of neurons. Whether or not this mechanism is of physiological importance remains an open question.<br />*******************************<br />This was copied and pasted from Wiki! Note the last sentence.
