OK, I double-checked my length of time thingy in general messages, and it was set to "last 100 days" - grrr, what's up? I keep setting it to "beginning" and it resets?
Anyway, I did the search again and got 34 threads with those keywords, which seems about right, and 354 posts with those keywords. 116 seems very off, and even 354 posts seems off, given I have almost 6k posts now. Maybe you used another keyword, but I can't see 350-plus different THREADS. Sometimes I've noticed when I do a search, then do another search right after it, the keywords have been blanked out, and maybe that's what happened to you - it just tried to show all of my posts, no matter what the content was. Anyway, could you please re-check your search?

Let me illustrate - the United Nations sometimes sends observers to watch over voting in countries that tend to try to settle things violently and unfairly. Do you think those voters would be happy to be told "hey, there's an atom in that chair that will act as your observer!"? I doubt it. Anyway, you're free to choose the definition that you think are appropriate, and so am I. And now that it is obvious to me which definitions you like, I will choose to not participate in the conversation, as it's not an interesting one to me.

You didn't mention "particle" in your original post, which consisted of one short sentence. Yes, "it might be thought disingenious"; it also might NOT be thought disingenious; it also might be thought sincere; it also might be thought many other things. What do YOU think, since you didn't say? Whatever you think, I'll tell you that it was NOT disingenuous on my part. You can choose to believe that or not believe it, obviously. But I tell the truth, altho obviously I can't prove it to you. And as you specifically claim to be "bad", this makes me think you like to deceive, so I won't worry about your hints any further, and will just hope that you can change.

You said: "That's because I haven't had time to point out the fact that "creationism" is flawed from the viewpoint that it posits that creation is over and done with. " This leads me to believe 2 things: 1. You believe that creationism posits that "creation is over and done with". 2. You believe that creationism is flawed from the viewpoint that it posits that creation is over and done with. Am I right in these 2 points? Quote:
I never said I disagreed with your arguments (which, yes, you have not yet put forth); I only said "I disagree with your claim". (and to make things hopefully clear - I consider your claim to be what you said earlier - ' "creationism" is flawed from the viewpoint that it posits that creation is over and done with.') I'm not jumping the gun; or if I'm jumping the gun, then so are you, because you haven't heard my arguments yet.

Back from my secret mission to mars.
To cut to the chase, You're telling me that creationism, as it is generally put forward, states that creation is ongoing. Which would seem to contradict the statement in Genesis that on the seventh day god rested, looked at what he had created, and was generally pleased... Implying that he was done, and now it's time to play around and see what happens with the new toys. When I have enough time I'll post what I can understand of the cyclic membrane theory of cosmology, the implications it has for how we understand subatomic and macro observer interactions, and the implications of time as a non-limited axis. The idea that creation is cyclic and continues forever without end doesn't generally hold with creationism as it is laid out by most people who take a literal interpretation of the bible. There are of course apologists, but I don't actually consider them anything but wafflers. I find the claims of people who state that god made everything to look like evolution happened to fool unbelievers more credible than apologists who want to argue about interpretations of what these particular theories mean. At some point intelligent design will get mentioned, at which time you're no longer talking about creationism, but a different (metaphysical) idea of cosmology. Also- When I use the term observer, it includes macro and subatomic interactions. An observer is an observer, whether electrons have cultures and opinions and walmarts or not. If these things mattered, I would have used the word perciever. You, as a human, observe thousands of things every second that you do not percieve. In the sense of the word that I am using, perception is not neccesary to observe. It doesn't HAVE to percolate up to your conciousness. Conciousness is not required.

IMO, creationism, as it is generally put forward, states that creation is NOT ongoing. (and also as I stated before, I'm not interested in your definitions of observer, perceiver, etc., so go ahead and hold that conversation without me )

I came across a quote yesterday that was both extremely perceptive and hysterically funny, and was very appropriate for this thread, so here it is, for your reading enjoyment!
