...well obviously... but only if, "1+ and 2+ ++ =/= 5".
Could you translate that Brad?

Good grief, Brad; I'm glad I asked. I had no idea you were so entwined in all this. But you should revisit the past anyway to make sure you're not deceiving yourself. As for the Freeman Dyson view, I suggest you drop that completely as you'll see why when you take a closer look at Edgar Cayce's reconciliation of fundamental Christianity tenets.
But as for your:

...MULTIPLE humanist scopes IN Gould's notion of "magesteria" supported biologically by natural kinds THAT POLKINGHORNE AND I JUDGE is wrong!...
That's where you went wrong!!! Your theory would be correct if Gould's magesteria were overlapping (like you seem to think), but it NON-overlapping! What this means is the day you leave EVCForum is when your problems will rapidly begin to increase exponentially! Don't say I didn't warn you! You need to engage in more anomalous subjective experiences and many of your problems in this area would cease, especially with the cheerleaders.
And:

Well, I DO know his wife very well and I'm telling you it's all just a case of mistaken identity. She had money problems and couldn't afford new glasses, but it didn't bode well for those around her. So please go easy on her, and don't take it out on her husband (she doesn't know about his latest mistress yet).

Re: 2nd verse same mov as first,little softer
If I recalled correctly when the file sizes were were 1.something and 2.something Megabites but at that web site one is permitted 5MB free. The files worked and then they didnt and now the site says I have exceeded FIVE. I'll need to rehost them. that's all.
I tried to use =/= as (not equal) and ++ in the progroming sense. Sorry if that was confusing.

Re: !!
Nono no J,
I was in the audience at Baker Hall this past year when Polikinghorne said striaght out, at the BEGINNIG of his talk that he thought Gould's non-overlapping magesteria was a mistake. You are free to disagree with P on this and there were scientists and chemists in the audience who did but I, BSM was not "wrong". The ONLY reason DICK BOYD could have even TRIED to think I was "becoming" religious on him (HE ALSO FALSLEY LABLED me to my face, an "idealist" ( I was simply an undergraduate who had things to learn) was because I, BSM, REJECTED (after reading a bit) his being an advisor for an independent study on biophilosophy BECAUSE, HE, not I, insisted I read and incorporate Kripke's NAMING AND NECESSITY %into% the study/work. I refused and rejected him as advisor. I got Simon Levin, instead, to be the faculty involved.
It was after this, and ON HIS OWN, (I was not his student in *any* class) that I chanced across him on the Arts Quad and having not followed up on taking HIM on as advisor, he seems to have thought that ideally as a RELIGIOUS decision of mine however he first consulted his wife and after seeing him AGAIN ( I have spoken with him since as well) he asked if he could call my parents. I had no problem with that, but unfortunately he took the still then communist reality to TELL my parents I was ill because his wife by hear say thought so AS WELL. Mean while I was having to deal with WIll PROVINE who was trying ( he eventually did it with Johnson) to insist there is DYNAMIC control of all wills williningly! Simon decided later that it was all too philosophical....and I started to read Derrida...
This was an issue where TWO DIFFERENT Romance Studies Profs, were ON MY SIDE (Aquaro and Cline (A "friend" of Derrida) and so after I saw how Dyson (whom I also saw lecture on futuristic biology etc) took the relation of DIFFERENT huamanistic positions VS Christainity AND read Gould's FOX&magister's POX & heard in aduible tones Polikinghone SAY, what I was THINKING & seeing BOYD avoid me time and time again since (Ithaca IS a small town...)& reading what the POPE actually said...
well I know I was not wrong on all that else any higher education is WORTHLESS. THERE STILL IS A PROBLEM FOR ME.., but it has to do with aesthetics, the humananites, and politics .... things that disappear on watching a good movie but only really DONT DISAPPEAR.
And if you actually KNOW Boyd's wife please DO say HOW that is not fiction what you posted as IT LOOKED AS if I could have talked with her if I so choose but instead walking with a Cornell Alum family in my Church I choose at that time to describe to them all this in other words.
As for Gould's distinction of overlapping vs nonoverlapping, you can see for yourself that he made THAT into a picture of an earthquake in California that split down the middle of a car. I'll have none of his POE axis invert as long as Climo is down under but NOT DOWN EAST.
if you dont respect the differenece of "different" and "multiple" in you next post, if you post one, I AM PLANNING right here and now to ignore you. The net is free place to place you opnion but I have the right not to respond, especially now that I am warning you reciprocally. This thread IS about me, and that is something I am not afraid to say I know better than others.

B,
dont be alarmed. It fabulous you saw it on the other thread!
I put that up just so you would know that I was thinking of you and wasnt trying to avoid you. I had wanted to save this space, here, for the next movie but now I guess I will find another place to put it.
For me everyone here is always my friend as long as they dont make me mad.

Oh, no!
Brad! You completely missed my point! I SAID it was CLEARLY a case of MISTAKEN IDENTITY! Based on disjunctive syllogism , I think you may have a servere case of cysticercosis (or you WOULD have understood my writings perhaps) that needs to be diagnosed by a profesional very quickly before its too late! That idea that you think Ithica is a small place was another clue because its a HUGE place, much bigger than you can imagine but you can't see it as long as my suspicions are correct.
Note that this could also affect your court case as well as the issues with the cheerleaders and pom-pons. The fact that Martha Stewart online is no longer in business shouldn't HAVE a great impact on you, although I could BE wrong; you should still be careful anyway. Also others could be lying in wait for you somewhere, but we'll help you as much as possible.
And I disagree with you regarding that; instead I'm convinced Popper's theory of falsification is by far better than Inductivism by several orders of magnitude. The reluctantly omnivorous intellectual Waismann cannot convince a hard-core disbeliever, even after having planted the seeds, though not being fully capable of either, and despite possessing complex character, regardless. I think your personal agenda is a complete distraction for the audience.
The fact that the Parapsychological phenomenon vanishes whenever a skeptical vibration suddenly appears, but that DOESN'T change a THING! You're just doing linguistic somersaults! Preparatory station socialism, along with its promised paradise on earth, not to mention the fears of the proletariat, massacred working people in the name of working people! This is clearly diabolical, and borders on making DeMorgan's Theorem look stupid, but you and your partners seem to see it as a liberating paradigm somehow! Have you forgetten about the advantages of the Copernican system over the Ptolemaic system, which simply CANNOT be ignored despite what your girlfriend seems to believe?! I refuse to discuss this "prisoner's dilemma" any further!
And if you insist on ignoring my future posts, then I will have no choice but ignore YOUR future posts as well. You MUST and WILL be held accountable for your inaction!

Re: Oh, yes!!!
In fact it is NOT any bigger than this window. I got your point. Perhaps I would do better to learn more about Christianity but when in this small space/place will provine can to this day TELL students to StICK with their parents belief system I CAN BUT ONLY shout NOoooo! I had my grandparents view. There is a generational difference but when the Devoian NY which looks to ALL the great lakes from here is but ONE STEP in NJ Creteacous bed of water there is also a disjoint relation of human locomotion and thought in 24 hour day as said in GENESIS and this is but the difference of the quads at cornell NOT the window you see it through which is made of the same silicon no matter where one reads it from even if that WAS but an evangelical Lutheran between our two posts and not Presbyterian vs Catholic.
Sure I did not think that it could have been a prob in the 80s but I have learned my lesson well.
Now if you want to discuss Pooperism vsMargorie greens philosophy of biology contra the HISTORICAL position of WIll then that's fine with me but THAT this again is not religious as I suppose your point to me was and was well taken in spirit. I was talking about secular humanism as not one thing. It is not but neither is ithaca the clue that I was OUTED as IFEN Thought. Money buys communication but only knoweldge transfers this communique.
You said elsewhere
EvC Forum: how can any one religion make a valid claim to be the fundamental truth?
Body (obvious)
Soul (the mind, the will, and the emotions)
Spirit (that which goes back to God (one way, or the other).
and thus I CONCLUDE in the DIFFERNCE of against a theory vs against religion per the science I was talking on about to..you confused my own materialization ontological confidence of soul and body with OUR all around lack of epistemological means to but personally acquire the same. I can say NO to GOD and then repent and I can say no to a person and sin and then confess but THERE IS a third possibility from which I think GOULD conflated the seperation of kinds from the genetics of a grade and that my Christian friend IS but a "grade" on a school paper NOT the flesh that is needed to see this word was mistaught at such a fine elite insitution as Cornell. It is not "fine"!
yes I am a bit emotional about this and that is how I DID NOT HANDLE it but my eyes work just fine. I pray we are on the same page now-?

I think you meant to say French vs. Italian. But no matter, at least you WERE somewhat close. But I didn't mean YOUR glasses; I meant HERS!
To your BEING so confused about my other-threadly post that you pointed out, well, I apologize but HAD you not flabbergastingly blurted out in YOUR other-threadly post # 34, I never would have thought OF saying that! I TRIED to skip it, but COULDN'T! Do you now see HOW one simple post on this board can come back to ruin your life, even after you thought it was LONG forgotten? (just like phone calls). You are now suffering the consequences alone, and I can't help you, sorry. I predict you could even lose your court case because of this, NOT because of that RABIES thing like your girlfriend keeps mentioning! But doesn't mean it's ok to play with wild possums unless you're a professional (which I know you're not).
And to your:

NO! Don't do it Brad! Don't blame yourself for this! There is NO possible other way you could NOT have handled it, despite the multitude of available options! But it's NOT your FAULT! You need to seek immediate medical help for your suspected case of cysticercosis and everything WILL get better! Despite what president Clinton told you, brain cells DO NOT regenerate; you HAVE no TIME to LOSE!!

Yes, we're on the same page with that one. Except for the totally stratospheric part, of course.

Brad, Derridean deconstructionism can be and often is manipulated into a MARXIST STANCE through the emptying out of the author the individual into a strata of conservative assumptions undercut by Marxist criticism which supposedly makes obvious the CLASS reifications of the culture in which the author was embedded instantiated in any given textual material. Post-structuralism promulgates excesses of radical instability of language because given any term or text there IS always MORE meaning where that came from. The instability of the TEXT is identified with the instability of philosophical grounding as well as the mythic nature of capitalistic reifications (see Foucault on surveillance). Such MYTHS are institutionalized in the WEST as universal which is to say they are financial artifacts. Such deconstructionism lays bare the assumptions of power and class individualism private property,etc.

Re: !!
no worries, wait for next movie. It is ready but I am still wrangling for free space. Maybe I'll start to pay. The other movies went off not becuase of the upload but because of the amount of down loads. The place I have this next one on, I only find out after, must not host the strip unless paying. I can send it to an e-mail for free if you want this before I get there. I answer J definitvely in my own voice FROM THE PAST and JD as well.

In a thread about mathematics? But I hate mathematics. The only reason I clicked on that thread at all was because I saw your name on it. Had someone else responded your name would have been gone and I'd probably have never noticed that post.
In the other thread, you said:

Berberry, yes, I will do some new clear audio posts, I just dont know yet what the most clearest thing is that needs to be said.
What I'm most interested in hearing you discuss on tape is your view on creationism and evolution. I've read a number of your posts on those topics but I still don't have a clear idea of where you stand.
