quisquose   10 #2 Posted February 23, 2011 I think you need to look up the definition of ideology.  The answer is no btw, so I don't think I'll be attending a lecture to something with such a daft title. Next week, "Does science make faeries impossible?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

USIC   10 #4 Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) @ Quisquose  Ok, you get what I mean, thanks for being helpful though.  I think you'll fnd the reason you're not attending is not that the title is silly, BUT more to do with the fact that you are scared to challenge your own thoughts and beliefs. If you've got so much to say, come and put your questions to the speaker tomorow!  To clarify - the talk will cover whether different scientific theories can suffice as an explanation to human existence without the need for a creator. And if belief in a God contradicts any scientific theories and weigh up conflicting evidences.  with an opportunity for Q&A / Debate at the end!

If you've got so much to say, come and put your questions to the speaker tomorow!  Ah, so you know the poster better than (s)he knows themselves? Shame you're not doing the talk.  I'm in no way afraid to challenge my beliefs. Sadly I finish work at 6, get home at 6:45 and haven't put my child to bed until 8 - I couldn't be back in Sheffield until 8:30 at the earliest.  Any chance you could post a summary of the talk here, or even get the speaker to debate it here?  No, thought not. Wouldn't want any of it recorded for posterity no doubt. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Wouldn't want any of it recorded for posterity no doubt. :-)  Im sure you are some sort of world class philosopher when you're sat at home on your computer, who isnt. You can even answer your own questions! Wow  Unless you make the time, you will never find it.  If you cant come and speak face to face then we'll leave it at that, dont attempt to be an 'internet' philosopher like every tom, dick and harry. I could voice record and post the talk on here but if you have any follow up questions, I wont be in a position to answer them as well as the speaker.

Guest sibon   #12 Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) People are missing the point! Im not here to debate, if you've got something to say, say it tomorow!!!!  Maybe people aren't interested in attending a lecture with such a clearly biased title.  For the record, Science doesn't make anything impossible. It adapts along with the available evidence.  Religion, on the other hand is 90% bigotry and 10% common sense. It certainly takes no account of evidence or anything so inconvenient.  I suspect that you might end up talking to yourself tomorrow night as most people will consider your talk to be irrelevant to their lives.
