Comment Re:If you make this a proof of God... (Score 0) 612

Because I am stick of hearing the "how can something come from nothing" argument from creationists. Whether or not something could come from nothing has nothing to do if there is a god or not and proving it can does not prove there is a god. Any rational person can see this, but I would never accuse a creationist of being rational.

foreign bacteria that need to be killed, your immune system will weaken, and the likelihood that it will get bored and attack itself (also known as allergies) increase. This doesn't just include bacteria; societies where people are more likely to be exposed to parasites like worms tend to have a very low or zero incidence of gastrointestinal diseases like irritiable bowel syndrome

Well that could not be any more wrong. Dysentery is one of the leading cause of deaths in countries with little to no sanitation system. Fortunately when someone in a western country contracts one of these diseases, they can go to a hospital, get some fluids and antibiotics

I suspect you are not an anti-vaxer or a naturalist, just misinformed. This is the same completely made up argument that they use. Vaccines do not cause diseases, and eating dirt does not make you healthy.

PhD Microbiology? Try a PhD in Epidemiology or Pathology for actual knowledge on how diseases affect humans. Probably a good thing she is your ex now, as she is also one of those PhD that assumes they are an expert in everything, including things only tangentially related to their field.

Creationism does not necessarily have anything to do with geocentrism except that:

1. Both are wrong, and stupidly so.
2. Religious nutjobs tend to be the ones that believe in them.
3. Neither have any evidence, despite claims otherwise.

Your posts hits all three quite nicely.

Thanks for informing me of this. I used to enjoy his Ben Stein's Money show on occasion some years back, but I have now lost all respect for the man whatsoever.

Oh it goes much deeper. People tended to forget that before his acting career Stein was a speech writer for Nixon and is as right wing religious and political fundamentalist as they come. He has "moderated" atheist/religious debates that clearly showed his bias as he tries to rig the debates.

Ahh yes, the "colors of sound", some of those mysterious qualities and adjectives of sound that only people who are trying to justify spending way too much money seem to ever be able to understand.

Sounds more like they have synesthesia. Which might be a benefit to a professional musician, but I don't see how that makes it different for the rest of us.

Comment Re:Somewhat cheaper... (Score 1) 496

I like your line of thought though. The dashboard gauges on my car are black text on white gauge during the day, and dim red light on dark gauge at night. All of the other lights get dim. The only flaw with this is it is controlled by whether or not the headlights on... in an instance where it is a storm during the day, turning the headlights on dims the dash lights and makes them hard to see.

The rear view lcd could do the same thing. Also it could flatten the contrast to bring out dim objects while keeping very bright ones from blinding you. My car is also fairly low to the ground, so every mega-size suv with their unnecessarily super-bright in city headlights blinds me. (Everything from Jeep is particularly heinous in this regard.)
