  1. Then you should know that the only reason you are having this conversation over the internet using a laptop/smartphone is due to our scientific theories in electromagnetism and quantum mechanics. In fact every single electrical device you use, from a washing machine, to a GPS in a car is only possible due to those theories. You should also be aware that the same scientific methods and tools used in developing those theories were used to formulate the theory of evolution by natural selection. Since Darwin's time the evidence (especially the molecular evidence) has become so overwhelming that its about on par with the theory that the Earth orbits the Sun. You can take the genes of thousands of species of animals or plants, plot out the differences and it will produce a perfect hierarchy or family tree. Not only does it match all the fossil evidence, but it gave a few surprises such as whales being very closely related to hippopotamuses, and were once land mammals.
  2. Its also a common misconception that photons don't experience time, since photons do not have a rest frame. All inertial observers measure light in a vaccum travelling at C and it takes a finite time from emission to your eye or whatever. It is true that travel times will be reduced close to c but that is mostly due to length contraction where the space in front of you is contracted making the distance traveled shorter. Time for those travelers will still be flowing at 1 second per second.
  3. Nothing can travel at the speed of light but if you were travelling very close to c then the journey time would be reduced significantly, due to time dilation.
  4. According to scientists Dark Matter is actually contributing to the attractive force of gravity, and is holding the galaxies together. Without the Dark matter galaxies would break apart because there's not enough normal matter to account for the observed rotation curve. You are probably referring to Dark Energy which, apparently, is responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe. However, the expansion only works on very large scales like the huge voids between super clusters of galaxies. On smaller scales such as solar systems, galaxies and even local clusters of galaxies, the gravitational attraction from normal matter dominates. I think science is pretty much settled that locally, bodies of normal matter give rise to an attractive force.
  5. The way we interpret the laws of physics by using language, numbers, symbols etc.. are created by humans, but the laws themselves are not. For example: Gravity is attractive and NOT repulsive Particles with the same charge repel Particles with opposite charges attract Moving charges create magnetic fields Do you think that these fundamental laws were created by humans?
  6. Every dam being built could be turned into a hydro power plant, using the Sun's energy and gravity to produce electricity.
  7. For thousands of years, nature has fooled us humans to believe there's an intelligent design at work, but for the last 400 years or so science has slowly revealed that the apparent design of nature is just an illusion.
  8. Don't you think that's a little egocentric. I mean, while you were watching that wonderful sunset, the other 90% of people on the planet didn't see it. And what about those people living in Longyearbyen, Norway. For them, in the summer months, the Sun never sets and in the winter months in never rises. No God for them ????
  9. Alcohol withdrawal can give you auditory and visual hallucinations. In fact the phrase "Seeing Pink Elephants" comes from alcoholic hallucinosis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeing_pink_elephants
