    Feb 23 2013: Science cannot prove/disprove the existence of the Harry Potter world as well. For all we know, there might be a wizard world out there that controls all our memory and perception in such a way that we cannot be aware of them. Or maybe you are a schizophreniac that is just making your whole life up and this is nothing but your imagination. You cannot disprove this either. But you do not "believe" in such probabilities just because it cannot be disproved. Believing in things just because they have a chance to be true is not rational.

  • A reply on Talk: Miguel Nicolelis: A monkey that controls a robot with its thoughts. No, really.

    Feb 22 2013: Hey, I am not a brain scientist but what I believe is that extracting the signal from the neurons is possible but inserting them back into the undamaged neurons exceeds our current technological capabilities. If we could do that we could just share thoughts without the necessity of communication tools like language. Schools would be much easier :)

  • A reply on Conversation: Debate: Does antibiotic-resistant bacteria prove Darwin's theory of evolution?

    Nov 5 2012: Hello Peter,
    I have seen many creationists argue that natural selection and mutations cannot be real and after blindly rejecting these facts it is easy to see why they are against evolution. However you have accepted these facts but could not see that small changes that are made possible by mutations and natural selection, given large enough time, will eventually lead to a specie to morph into a new specie. We are talking about a time scale of billions of years which is more than enough for a specie to morph into another one. Small changes eventually lead to transformations.

    A comment on Conversation: What would be your question if you've been granted to ask a single one from Almighty & if you are sure that will be answered correctly"

    Apr 28 2012: I would ask him what 6x9 equals to just to hear the answer 42 from the "creator" himself.
