Here's
my opening statement from today's debate with Christian evangelist and debater
Peter Payne in Trondheim, Norway today.
HAS
SCIENCE BURIED GOD?
Thank
you to the organisers for inviting me to participate in this excellent event.
I'm delighted to be here.
In
one of his online resources Peter Payne says, and I quote:
"The
net of scientific method, namely the net of hypothesis and experimental/observational
test, is unable to demonstrate either the truth or falsity of the Christian
faith, for it is simply the wrong kind of net to capture what is
relevant."
Peter
is not alone in thinking Christianity is off limits to science, of course. Many
Christians would agree with him. However it seems to me Peter's claim is pretty
clearly wrong. Science can be a threat to religious beliefs, and indeed
to Christian belief. I'm going to explain how. Continues here.
Comments
I'm sorry that I missed your debate here in Norway. I would have loved to watch it, and I hope it went well.
Do you know if the debate was filmed, and if so, if it will be uploaded to the web at some point?
Best Regards,
Mikkel

From what I know about group psychology, this looks like a classic 'groupthink' scenario, by which individually clever people collectively do stupid things; because they're shielded from public scrutiny by their own expertise, thus allowing institutionalized conformity effects to operate within the isolated group. Such effects tend to discourage dissent, and as group members compete for peer approval, they tend to gravitate to more extreme views and take more risks.

Talking about science and the supernatural, have a look at CERN's logo:

Notice anything? Maybe this will help:

Shiva was the deity referenced in Robert Oppenheimer's famous quote from the Bhagavad Gita, "Now I have become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds," which Oppenheimer allegedly uttered on witnessing the first nuclear bomb test.
The CERN logo represents a synchrotron, a cyclic particle accelerator. you can only arrive at 666 by ignoring half of it.
To avoid this conspiracy theory nonsense may I recommend Stephen's book.

In the logo, only three of the 'particle beams' touch the edge of the frame. Those three 'beams' form the stems of the sixes. The other two, shorter 'beams' don't reach the frame. Readers can draw their own conclusions about the rationale for that design. Of course, a diagram can illustrate two things at once. It can have an 'overt' meaning and a 'covert' meaning, and a bit of embellishment to make the 'covert' meaning less obvious.
As for the scientific concerns about CERN, readers can visit the website I cited above and draw their own conclusions. Anyway, we don't have long to wait to find out what happens. CERN is planning to fire up the LHC at almost full capacity (13 TeV) between March and June. The previous record was only 7 TeV.

This Cern nonsense shows most of the usual conspiracy traits
Philologist said "In the logo, only three of the 'particle beams' touch the edge of the frame. Those three 'beams' form the stems of the sixes. The other two, shorter 'beams' don't reach the frame."
Here we see pattern seeking and confirmation bias, the only reason to pick the three lines that reach the edge over the two that don't is for the purpose of confirming the desired conclusion.
If pick the two inner rings we could make 66, 99 96 69, even with the three why not 996, 966,999 etc.
The evil genius who covertly advertises his plan to destroy the world has it's place only in the movies and in the realm of fantasy.
Philologist said "As for the scientific concerns about CERN, readers can visit the website....."
Why would anyone listen to a bunch of amateur trolls and pseudo-scientists when they can take note of real professional physicists doing real research into the subject.
Philologist said "Anyway, we don't have long to wait to find out what happens"
And I'm guessing that after nothing happens you probably won't come back here and admit you got it all wrong.
There will probably be a recalculation on the power required, or maybe the Illuminati or the lizard lords have given us a stay of execution.
