NFT: World Renowned Scientist: Definitive Proof God Exists

Has really gone off the rails in recent years chasing celebrity.

Even if we do live in a Matrix, as he claims, that isn't definitive proof of intelligent design or lack thereof.

All he's done is arrive at the conclusion that we live in a Universe governed by rules. Which we already knew.

Terrific

Wormhole to the bookcase?

Is to answer the question of who is God and why we all exist.

He might be close to the answer, or it might just be the beginning of the rabbit hole.

Mankind has said it has to be god

Are you sure that is the whole point of science?

I think you may be missing the point.

BigBlue doesn't know much bout science.

As a teen I befriended a young man who had dropped out of seminary school. He had been taught by Jesuits. After a beer or three he posited a very strong argument that the proof of G-d's existence was the orange. Without G-d, how could an orange taste so good, and be good for you, too?

I remained convinced to this day.

He was horrendous - it still drives me nuts that a guy who couldn't field simple electromagnetics questions from undergrads was a supposed 'renowned physicist'.

The creation science crowd will run with this.

that Kaku claims he has proof that "God Exists" as the thread title implies? Certainly not in the video.

To me it is clear that we exists in a plan which is governed by rules that were created, shaped by a universal intelligence and not by chance.”

doesn't mean what you think it means...

He says, "I have concluded ..." and to "To me it is clear ...". He's offering an opinion. He doesn't say, "I have evidence of ...".

Whether that be that God exists or not, it is the ultimate search to prove or disprove that basic question. To actually understand why we are here, and how the universe works and effects life itself.

condemns me to an eternity of fire and brimstone, I'll firmly hang onto my believe that God is a bedtime story created by man to cope with the fear of the lack of consciousness created by the expiration of our bodies.

Really, I don't mean to offend,but a benevolent creator who is simultaneously in tune to every human being on Earth? Grow up.

One way or another. None. You're editorializing.

I think I can answer those questions fairly easily...human consciousness is a happy accident, and we'll never get truly understand the inner workings of a universe so fast that our simple brains can scarcely comprehend it.

Climate change deniers will accept science, or that God deniers will refute it? Please answer quickly as my eternal reward may be hanging in the balance.

Arguments between atheists who know next to nothing about religion and religious people who know absolutely nothing about science.

And then you also get religious people who don't even understand their own religion and atheists who don't understand basic scientific concepts.

Your eternal reward is on the way from Publishers Clearing House. If you aren't home, they will give it to the person you hate most.

I saw the movie Nebraska already, I know about the prize scam thing.

Wait a minute, are you saying this might be a scam too? 😞

Zeus, Odin, Jehovah, Allah, Ahura Mazda, Krishna, Ra, Wakan, Krum?

I always knew it fuckin sucked.

I call bullshit. Everybody knows it's blueberries.

From religion.

Religion is a falacy......a creation of man to cope, control and unify.

Granted, athiest who basically believe we are the gods.....have ego issues.

Now, creation as a happy accident......including the orange story above becomes illogical......

There was a plan with rules......so who or what.....not if......is only possible conclusion.......

The basic question comes down to did God create man, or did man create God?

Your understanding of religion is somewhat lacking. Just saying.

"claims to have developed a theory that might point to the existence of God."

These quotes don't equate.

Having said that, I heard an interview recently with Elon Musk who says there's very little chance that we aren't living in a matrix-like world. His theory is that we've been advancing so quickly in virtual reality and Artificial Intelligence that if you carry those advances out, there will be a time when you won't be able to tell the virtual from the real world.

"“The strongest argument for us probably being in a simulation I think is the following,” he told the Code Conference. “40 years ago we had Pong – two rectangles and a dot. That’s where we were.

“Now 40 years later we have photorealistic, 3D simulations with millions of people playing simultaneously and it’s getting better every year. And soon we’ll have virtual reality, we’ll have augmented reality.

“If you assume any rate of improvement at all, then the games will become indistinguishable from reality, just indistinguishable.”

Where he loses me is how we're there already.

What if the black hole in the sun is God shitting on the use of cell phones instead of person to person interaction which greatly affects one's moods? That would be proof of God, right?

Is that really true? I may be behind, but I thought the only rule of the universe was randomness?

Natural selection explains exactly how an orange can both taste so good and be so good for you at the same time.

That may be dumbest post on the board. Atheists believe they are Gods? Did you attend school in Kansas?

He is the perfect example of someone who would go to the opening of an envelop to be seen.

He has always been in the middle between the idea of Creation and Random Chance. His past arguments was that you can scientifically support random Chance and evolution but it does not make sense that you find so many beautiful things like music and art or just a sunset on a nice summer day. In a true world of chance everything should be simple and gray with very little diversity. So with his latest statement it looks like he is leaning towards Creation.

Aren't those things just perception, though? Certain music and art are considered "beautiful" by different people. One person might find something special about a song or piece or art while another could think nothing of either.

it's weird that people (secular and religious) always feel the need to go to bat for Her existence. I feel like that might be an American thing.
