Let's compare Jesus and Muhammed (and debate homosexuality) (and Tombstone).

When you see an empty glass, how do you describe it?

"It is empty" or "It is absent of liquid"

When you walk into a dark room, how would you describe it?

"It is dark in here" or "It is absent of light in here"

You telling me dark isn't a noun?

On a separate topic, how are black holes measured? We know they exist and yet we can not see them as all light falling on it is absorbed.
Click to expand...

a more simple explanation:

Despite its invisible interior, the presence of a black hole can be inferred through its interaction with other matter. Astronomers have identified numerous stellar black hole candidates in binary systems, by studying their interaction with their companion stars

which would be more of observing nearby stars being effected by the black hole

wiki page goes into great detail about how black holes are found/observed

Black hole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


(some of the older explanations - though technology should have advanced more at present - were stars appearing to seemingly be "pulled" upon by an outside force/object i believe)

I'd rather just mock you for your lack of intellectual capability.

It is obvious that you lack any and all critical thinking abilities, therefore, I have decided that you are not worth the time and effort I would obviously waste in an attempt to make you aware of your egregious fallacy against reason.

It is clear to anyone with half a brain that might stumble onto this thread that your argument is nothing more than hogwash and theological high jinks that lack both originality and validity.

Bull****, you can't measure dumb, it is just the absence of smart.

We can only measure intelligence, but it sure does allow us to detect "dumb." I bet this argument kills at bible study though.

I did not pull the basis of my argument "from a chain e-mail that has claimed, among other things, that Albert Einstein used your argument to prove to an atheist professor that God does, in fact, exist"

Gramps, I'm confused at what you want the study to actually show, or why one is even needed.

Well, that's where it came from. So somewhere along the line, somebody was dumb enough to buy into it and tell you all about it.

This is you answer becasue you cannot find a link to a credible study that says I am wrong and you tell me I have a lack of intellectual capability.

You are correct. I wrote that in an attempt to save face. Throughout much of this argument, I haughtily felt that my intellect was highly superior to your diminutive brain power; however, the entire time you had concealed your secret weapon, you sling and your stone, and when the opportunity presented itself, you fashioned yourself a modern day David and I, your intellectual Goliath, was slain.

So, I concede the point. If you want to compare your god with darkness, who am I to stop you? In fact, I think you should run with this idea and proclaim it from mountaintop to mountaintop and from sea to shining sea. God and darkness, side by side, eternally.

It is astounding that you do not get this.

Darkness is nothing. It is the absence of light. Light is a form of energy.

Light can be measured, filtered, increased or decreased.

Darkness cannot be measured. Darkness cannot be increased or decreased without light.

Alright Gramps. As I am now back, let us try this again.

Are there any live squirrels on your desk? If you say no here, how can you know? If there are no live squirrels on your desk, how can you measure it?

Ergo, if there are no live squirrels on your desk, and you answer that you can answer that as zero, you have measured the ABSENCE of live squirrels running around your desk, and rightfully concluded that the total is zero.

If you truly believe, as you state, that nothingness cannot be measured, then you will respond that you do not know if there are live squirrels running around your desk.

So, Gramps. Are there live squirrels running around your desk?

Technically, non-real result. Yes, imaginary numbers do exist are an actual practiced mathematical concept.
Click to expand...

well right. I didn't answer as "i" because I was thinking of it more in terms of a parabola on a 4 quadrant cartesian plane and not having a possible plot coordinate that could be placed on a graph

(I took math courses all the way up to calc 3 in college, so I know about imaginary numbers and such :D)

(though I also admit it's been a while, so i wasnt sure if the answer was does not exist or non-real answer)

3rd Grader Science Fair?

Unfortunately, Miss. Jennifer's class isn't peer reviewed, so PNAS will forever miss out on such a meaningful and profound study.

Show me a study that shows Gramps isn't trolling.

I hope this is a troll.
