Re: supernatural
Is this the first time you hear of physicists trying to find traces/clues about God(the creator)? The so called Mind of God?
Abogot, you seem to really harp on little phrases and quotes. "The mind of God" is not to be taken in the literal sense, it's just an easy to understand phrase for laymens.
The pursuit of God(whatever that is) is more exhilarating than the pursuit of chaos, randomness and blind chance IMO.
You can't possibly have feelings for something that you say you don't know what it is. You say "the pursuit of God(whatever that is) is more exhilarating...", well, how do you know that? If you don't know what it is then how can you hold an opinion as to which is better?
The current scientific method has proven itself worthy in the pursuit to understand nature, if one day that leads to the realization that there is a God then cool, but we can't start off with the God concept first because it is a bias stance to take.
You don't know who or what God is, or isn't, so how can anyone 'pursuit' God?
How do you know which language i am reading quantum physics?
I believe Mod meant that QM is best understood within the frame work of mathematics, not reading it and trying to conceptualize it.
All atheists i've seen here get very angry anytime someone brings up the dreaded emergent properties.
Only when devine intervention is brought up as an explanation/origin for/of the emergent properties.
