"Refused to note" or "fails to understand"?

He still denies the existence of crystals, ffs! {abe}I have just read your edit, and I thank you for your best wishes...We will need them!

I also note that you still can't bring yourself to address your stupid comments about chaotic systems never creating order.
That probably means that we will have to continue saying "Crystals!" to you. CRYSTALS!! Edited by Panda, : No reason given.Tradition and heritage are all dead people's baggage. Stop carrying it!

Ocam's razor is a philosopher's tool to make their lives a little easier - beyond trying to organise hypotheses into their most likely order it doesn't and can't solve a problem in science. Science needs evidence and the simplest solution is not a requirement for the correct answer. Well, it depends. Insofar as problems can be solved in science (i.e. provisionally) sometimes Occam's razor does in fact solve them. To take an example I often use, suppose I leave my dog alone with a slice of pizza, and when I come back the pizza is gone. I might conjecture that the pizza was stolen by pizza-stealing fairies, but this involves introducing an entity otherwise unevidenced, whereas I already possess evidence for the existence of a pizza-eating dog. There is no need to add a hypothetical entity when I have a real one to hand. Now if I had no evidence of dogs either, then it would be impossible to say which hypothesis was simpler. But since I do, then the one without fairies is simpler in a clear and objective sense --- the universe with dogs but without fairies is a proper subset of the universe with dogs and fairies. What is essential here is the concept of a proper subset, since this makes it epistemologically significant that one hypothesis is simpler than another. Other forms of simplicity are not significant. If I hear a crash when someone throws something through my window, then a perfect sphere is simpler (in the sense: requires less information to describe) than a jagged rock, but this is not a reason to exalt the idea that the object was perfectly spherical to the status of a most likely hypothesis.

So - the universe was not created. No, Panda. Infinite systems are never created.Is that what you meant to say? Buzsaw writes:
"That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence." The energy in the Universe changes forms as work is applied, Wonderfully designed complex closed systems within it are created and/or destroyed by the intelligent designer of them, the working designer being the Biblical god, Jehovah, the majestic manager of the Universe. And no, neither 1LoT nor Occam's Razor mentions an intelligent designer. Well, we seemed to have moved away from your first post.So, in an attempt to move us back: CRYSTALS!!!

The stuff contained in the "interior" of a 2 sphere is not real. Buzsaw fails to get full credit because he refused to note that a 2 sphere is simply an analogy for the topology of the universe. I don't believe any of us can visualize the 3 spheres and 4 spheres. At least I know I cannot. Of course you can't. Your bogus model does not model the system. That's how conventional science deceives the young impressionable minds of the sheeple in the schools of learning. To apply a 3 metrical dimension model to the 3 dimension Universe would falsify what conventional science advocates. Conventional science must restort to this deception and to abstract renditions of math, relativity and QM, etc in order to support un-probable and un-observable positions, contrary to Ocam's Razor.

You will note that I emphasied BY AND LARGE Then you've committed the fallacy of the looming caveat; crystals are incredibly common, most elements and compounds can be induced to adopt a crystalline structure under quite prosaic conditions, and usually they do so because the enthalpy change of the system under those conditions as it crystalizes exceeds the entropy loss. That happens all over the place, Buz, and it's not just something you can sweepingly dismiss with a "by and large." It's a direct and omnipresent counterexample that you can't just pretend is nonexistent.

To apply a 3 metrical dimenal model Is this even meant to be English?

Is water common enough for you? Simple hydrogen and oxygen molecules spontaneously combine to form more complex water molecules - and the spark that touches it off is pretty much void of intelligence.
That is only because the formation of H2O from H2 and O2 is a highly exothermic reaction. Any decrease in entropy is vastly outweighed by the increase in exothermic enthalpy that results in a reduction of free energy. Any reaction that results in a reduction of free energy is by definition spontaneous.

There is no need to add a hypothetical entity when I have a real one to hand. Sure, like I said, Occam (or, some would say, common sense) will help you prioritise hypotheses and it would correctly claim that the dog is by far the simpest and most likely solution. But it proves nothing. To prove Occam's preferrence that 'it was the dog wot done done it, yer honour', science would examine the contents of its stomach to find the evidence.

Well, me friend, at least the scientific examination of the stomach content of doggie is physically observable. Not so with Ocam's application to the concocted evolutionist abstract science methodologies, pertaining to the BB 13.5 billion year ago alleged zero singularity event, having no area/space in which it could have happened, no outside area/space into which it could have expanded and no existing time in which it could have happened. Talk about creationist faith based sciences. Yours is are all essentially faith based allegements, so as to exempt you in your deluded mindes from accountability the supreme intelligent designing majesty of the Universe, the Biblical god, Jehovah. Plenty of physically observable evidence of his existence has been aired in the debates. The same goes with the credibility of his Biblical record. This evidence has been aired by me and others in the threads over the years. Secularist minded members catagorically deny the existence of higher forms of intelligence in the Universe, no matter how much evidence creationists cite. Application of Ocam's Razor supports ID conclusions, more-so than those of narrow minded scecularistic minded skeptics. BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW.

You keep claiming to have provided evidence for the belief in a creationist god, but so far I haven't seen any that counts as real evidence - just spectulation and assumption plus a huge pile of many times refuted error. What's your best shot at real evidence?Life, don't talk to me about life - Marvin the Paranoid Android
