William J. Murray, paranormal investigator:  
Quote
The evidence that consciousness cannot be destroyed by destroying the body (or halted via brain death) exists in vast amounts, dating back over 150 years of scientific research and publication.

It is relatively easy to locate such research via simple google searches.
i.e., "you do my homework for me".

Ahem, seances don't count as evidence. Just ask Harry Houdini..oh wait, he's DEAD!

bolding mine until my consciousness and my body go their separate ways.

Pretty fun stuff:

Quote (kairosfocus @ sometime, somewhere)
An examination of the past few years. Nor have things got better since or that of Dawkins et al. Try here as a part of the biblical stories must be recognized that assessment of timelines often presented as though those who differed with him are ignorant, stupid, insane or wicked” slanderous talking point. And, of course, those who dare differ with him. That is poisonous slander, and it is thus self-refuting]. . . ,” that simply underscores how the maximum reasonable Planck time, quantum state resources of the evolutionary materialist ideology hiding in the face of the ribosome, where the scope of events that can ground oughtness in a context where the example came from. Its message is simple and direct. Trial and error/success backed up by any reasonable level of warrant that an opinion piece is one’s personal opinion, but in presenting an ideology, the dominant elites.


He's got a point you know.

Things you would never know if you didn't read UD: Robert Sheldon tells us:

It is a well-hidden fact that Islam is responsible for most of the ills besetting Christendom, including Darwinism.

Very well-hidden.

Oh, all right.  Here's his "reasoning":
Quote
I’ll let you figure out the percentage, but here’s the link. Islam conquered and then lost Spain and left behind a highly educated, philosophical position of God’s absolute power. Let’s call that nominalism. Nominalism emphasized ideology over induction. Contrast with the neo-Platonism of Augustine, and you’ll start to spot the differences. During the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation you had this playing out in philosophy: Augustinian Reformers versus Aristotelian nominalists. Darwin’s exposure to Atheism at the tender age of 16 exposed him to nominalism and the raw power of ideology, which he massaged for 30 years or so to make it palatable to a British Victorian society. It was still ideology but cleverly packaged as induction. Darwin’s real genius lay in marketing, no matter what you may have read otherwise.

Is that clear?  Then here's more:
Quote
The impending collapse of Islam is both a breakdown of authoritarian structure and ideology. The modern Muslim looks around and values what he sees (prosperity, smaller families, job mobility) over what he hears (Imam talking about eternal punishment for not having kids, etc). He is choosing induction over nominalism, ID over Darwinism.

In summary,  
Quote
It’s not always clear which is ideology and which is induction, and part of Darwin’s genius was selling evolution as induction–which it isn’t. But as Imre Lakatos argues, you can spot the difference between the two in the manner in which they handle exceptions and ad hoc hypotheses. Which comes back to ID being the recognition that not only is Design recognizable, but it is also the opposite of nominalism–it is interactive.

I think that makes it pretty clear.

And all this in a thread on the dreaded Demographic Collapse which turns out to be only having one or two children instead of the traditional seven.

Only on UD.

Ah, my daily dive into Mirrorworld, where ID is an active science and evolution a left-field idea desperately in need of some factual investigation!

Joseph seems stuck in a "La la la, I can't see your evidence or hear your predictions." phase lately.  I do wish he'd add some of his stylish vulgarity to mix things up.

I'm quietly playing IDiot bingo here by myself.  What's the proper armchair psychologist term for Gordon's fear and loathing of open discussion combined with his assumption that he has the authority to reward and punish other participants?  Is "being an ignorant, dishonest, cowardly ass" too technical a term?

Creationist organizations make these raft trips too and I think it gets under the skin of evolutionist fighters. Its one of those spatial picture things the school folks talk about.

Unlikely they are putting the black down . they just needed a black, as Hollywood always does in FRONT of the camera, and there was no other or other that wasn’t a creationist.
Just common identity selectionism.

Scott and AIG/ICR should have raft races. you can make the best geological interpretation , ride the waves, and persuade the most people and return with them undunked.

Well speaking as an armchair psychiatrist in the truest sense of the phrase (and with the appropriate nod and apologies to those that do know what they are talking about here), I used to think Narcissistic Personality Disorder but I think based on more recent posts I would have to go with Paranoid Personality Disorder. Wikipedia states :
Quote
Paranoid personality disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis characterized by paranoia and a pervasive, long-standing suspiciousness and generalized mistrust of others.

Those with the condition are hypersensitive, are easily slighted, and habitually relate to the world by vigilant scanning of the environment for clues or suggestions to validate their prejudicial ideas or biases. Paranoid individuals are eager observers. They think they are in danger and look for signs and threats of that danger, disregarding any facts. They tend to be guarded and suspicious and have quite constricted emotional lives. Their incapacity for meaningful emotional involvement and the general pattern of isolated withdrawal often lend a quality of schizoid isolation to their life experience.

Of course, it's possible that there are elements of both in there somewhere.

Fanatic narcissist - including paranoid features. An individual whose self-esteem was severely arrested during childhood, who usually displays major paranoid tendencies, and who holds on to an illusion of omnipotence. These people are fighting delusions of insignificance and lost value, and trying to re-establish their self-esteem through grandiose fantasies and self-reinforcement. When unable to gain recognition or support from others, they take on the role of a heroic or worshipped person with a grandiose mission.

Bolding mine.  Top that, someone!

Narcissistic personality disorder was definitely the one I was thinking of, but you've nailed it with this one.

Is it Friday?

Some proper A-Class insanity about to erupt. Perhaps.

Dawkins is a liar, and he assoiciates with people like this:

   
Quote
Dr. Sam Harris, who says that pushing an innocent man into the path of an oncoming train is OK, if it is necessary in order to save a greater number of human lives


Dr. Sam might say that but so to (IIRC) a majority of people when asked the same question.

vjtorley ends thusly:
   
Quote
Professor Dawkins, I understand that you are a very busy man. Nevertheless, I should warn you that a failure to answer these charges will expose you to charges of apparent lying, character assassination, public hypocrisy, as well as an ethical double-standard on your part. The choice is yours.


Funnily enough that all applies to Dr Dr Dembski, much more so then Dawkins.

And WTF is "apparent lying"? Is that like dFSCI?

Wow.

And he even throws one in for "I'd eat a baby if the reason was right" FTK:
   
Quote
In his article in The Guardian (20 October 2011) condemning William Lane Craig, Professor Dawkins fails to explain exactly why it would be wrong under all circumstances for God (if He existed) to take the life of an innocent human baby, if that baby was compensated with eternal life in the hereafter. In fact, as I will demonstrate below, if we look at the most common arguments against killing the innocent, then it is impossible to construct a knock-down case establishing that this act of God would be wrong under all possible circumstances.


What a proper POS. Who the fuck could say "if we look at the most common arguments against killing the innocent" and mean it? I thought the whole point of their thang was that they would not need an argument against such a thing, they'd "know" it was wrong from the start. Yet they have to construct arguments as to why killing the innocent is not necessarily wrong simply because their deity did it and so it can't possibly be wrong because it's written down in a book that says it can't be wrong anyway. Wah-ha.

I'm sure it was of much comfort to the mother of an innocent child that it now has eternal life.

In fact, this is how it all begins, right? They start to think "well, unbelievers are in fact better off dead" and so killing you is actually doing you a favor in their minds.

What a mind fuck.

I can only hope they come up with that other logical alternative instead, like the The Heaven's Gate people did. Why not? Get you there all the faster vjtorley you sick piece of shit, if you do it yourself. Works for the innocent right?

Clive is even more senile via the IDiot generator:
Quote
It could be changed or guided or directed; since we don’t see the logical necessity behind it, we have no assurance that it couldn’t have been otherwise, or that these observations haven’t been, or couldn’t have been, different in the character of nature. The supreme irony is that the only things we really do understand, that is, see the reasonableness of why any two things are connected as physical events in the singularity before the Big Bang, then yes, the conditions of nature as we understand nature as we understand nature as we find them now, would’ve been a totally foreign nature, akin to a miracle. it is a logical contradiction for anything in nature to have a point. , Methodological naturalism presupposes that we understand nature as we understand nature as we find them now, would’ve been a totally foreign nature, akin to a miracle. it is a confusion to consider observations as real understandings of the character of nature. So, yes, nature is a logical fallacy. So our “understanding” of nature is based solely and purely on observations, not on any logical necessity, stuck or frozen in their character. It could be changed or guided or directed; since we don’t see the reasonableness of why any two things are connected as physical events in the same way. The simple test is to ask yourself if it is a confusion to consider observations as real understandings of the character of nature. The supreme irony is that the only things we really do understand, that is, see the reasonableness behind, don’t physically exist, like mathematics, morality, and logic.


Or is that a "real" quote.....
