  1. Cretin: A stupid person (used as a general term of abuse) Moron: A stupid person (used as a general term of abuse) Both words have just been used by people claiming that verbal abuse is wrong. Lacking intelligence or common sense is the result of nature, nurture and ones life experiences, to abuse such a person is no different to abusing someone that is fat.
  2. What makes you think that if you could rewind to a given point in time everything would turn out differently. What appears to be totally random could just as easily be the inevitable outcome from the preceding events. No one knows for certain that time travel is or isn't possible, but lets assume that it is. If someone from the future traveled back in time to tomorrow they would be able to witness everything that happens tomorrow, which means everything that is going to happen tomorrow is already predetermined. As long as the time traveler doesn't interfere the future will be the same, and no matter how many times they go back to that same point in time the future will always be the same unless they alter the starting conditions. ---------- Post added 20-07-2015 at 20:17 ---------- Agnostic is the belief that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God, to hold that belief you must have some idea of what God is.
  3. Tomorrow you are going to do something, what ever it is can't be changed, anything you do to try and change it will just result in you doing what was predetermined, but because you have no idea what it will be you can still look forward to tomorrow and hope its going to be a good day.
  4. So if something is just out of reach you will have to put the ladder on a box.
  5. What evidence? there is no evidence that anyone had sex with anyone else let alone raped them, other than the word of the accuser, its down to the jury to decide who to believe, the accuser or the accused, and if the accused has no idea what they was doing at the time of the alleged rape then they can't even present a defense other than, I didn't rape them. I haven't said that someone is innocent just because 30 years have gone by. I have said their conviction is based on belief and not proof, the jury will decide who to believe. Billions of people believe that God exists even though they have no proof of its existence. There are 12 people on the jury, they might all believe the accused is guilty or innocent or their vote might be split with someone believing guilty and some believing innocent. What they decide is based on their opinion and what they believe, in some cases there is a huge amount of evidence and the choice is easy and in other cases there is very little in the way of evidence but they still need to make a decision, sometimes they will get it right and sometimes they will get it wrong. ---------- Post added 19-07-2015 at 13:54 ---------- But only beyond reasonable doubt for the 12 people on the jury, 12 different people could come to a different verdict, very often even though the 12 people listened to the same evidence they still don't all agree, because people are willing to believe different things based on different levels of evidence. Billions of people will say that God exists but that isn't proof of its existence. 12 people believing beyond reasonable doubt that someone committed a crime is enough to lock them up, but it isn't proof that they actually committed the crime.
  6. The point would be that you don't know everything that you will do in the future even though events have been set in motion that determine what you future will be. So even though you can't change your future you can still enjoy finding out what it will be. ---------- Post added 19-07-2015 at 13:22 ---------- You claimed God/universe doesn't have the ability to communicate, so you can't know that its part of God's plan.
  7. If God is everything that is here and the universe is everything that exists, they must be one and the same, so when you are talking about the universe but calling it God you are causing confusion.
  8. So in your opinion God is the universe? if so, calling the universe God is a good way to confuse people. Imagine if everyone used the wrong words. If I said. I drove my chair down the road at 70mph this morning. Would you think me mad or would you know that I was talking about driving a car.
  9. What possible evidence could exist that someone raped someone else 30 years ago, other than someone or a group of people saying he raped me, its then down to the jury to decide if they believe the accuser or the accused. If you claimed to have a diamond the size of a tennis ball I wouldn't believe you, because it is unbelievable. You could prove it by producing the diamond for inspection but producing 20 other people that also say they have a diamond the size of a tennis ball wouldn't be proof that you or they have one. If you claimed to have one the size of a grain of sand I would be more inclined to believe you, but the only way to prove you have one is to produce it for inspection, the fact that they are quite common isn't proof you have one. So people are convicted because the jury believe the accused to be guilty and not because they saw proof of guilt.
  10. So God is the vacuum of space?
  11. No, the prosecution and defense have to present a sequence of events that 12 people can believe and the 12 people decide which version is the most believable. It's a belief system and not a system that requires proof. Most people won't remember events that are unmemorable, if someone claims that you did something 30 years ago it very unlikely that you remember doing it if it was unmemorable. The human brain evolved with the ability to forget old information that is considered unimportant. Short-term memory is the capacity for holding a small amount of information readily available state for a short period of time, most of that information won't be stored in the long term memory and even if it is, over time it becomes more difficult to recall.
  12. I'm an atheist and that isn't what I believe. Theist. The belief there was once absolutely nothing and an imagined entity created everything that exists form the nothingness. A more believable theory is that there was always something and the something changes over time, much like everything that exists today. I exist but once I didn't but everything that allows me to exist existed before I existed and will still exist after I no longer exist.
  13. I have 4 meter antenna with a flag on it just in case someone moves it, other than that I just remember where I parked it.
  14. My observational skills have let me down, I didn't notice the start date, but still good advice for anyone else about to take their test, so probably not a complete waste of time posting it. Having said that, I have come across pupils that have tried many time over many years to pass the theory test.
  15. I have a ladder that doesn't need to lean on anything, they are really useful when pruning trees and picking fruit.
