The Atheist's Boundless Faith in Deo-Atomism
Matter becomes god in the atheist/materialist/naturalist view, as far as I am concerned, and this is patently obvious, because in the godless universe, matter has the inherent power to do everything by itself, which Christians believe God caused, by putting these potentialities and actual characteristics into matter and natural laws, being their ultimate Creator and even Ongoing Preserver and Sustainer.
Quite obviously, then, since all these marvels which we observe in the universe are attributed to matter, just as we attribute the same capacities and designs to God's creative power, from our perspective, matter is the atheist's god, in which he places extraordinary faith; more faith even than we place in God, because it is far more difficult to explain everything that god-matter does by science alone. Yet atheists manage to believe this anyway because they refuse to acknowledge a God behind all the Design. Indeed, this is faith of the most un-rational, childlike kind. It is quite humorous, then, to observe the constant charge that we Christians have the blind, childlike, gullible, fideistic faith, rather than "rational, intellectual, sophisticated" atheists who possess it in far greater measure.
Such belief is, in effect and in substance, closely-examined, a kind of poytheistic idolatry of the crudest, most primitive sort, which puts to shame the pagan worship and incredulities of the ancient Babylonians, Philistines, Aztecs, and other primitive groups. They believed that their silver amulets and wooden idols could make the sun shine or defeat an enemy or cause crops to flourish. The polytheistic materialist is far, far more religious than that: he thinks that trillions of his Atom-gods and their distant relatives, the Cell-gods, can make absolutely everything in the universe occur, of their own power, possessed eternally either in full or in inevitably-unfolding potentiality.
One might call this (to coin a phrase) Deo-Atomism ("belief that the Atom is God"). The omnipotent, omniscient, eternal, ubiquitous (if not omnipresent) Atom (especially trillions of them) can do absolutely everything that the Christian God can do, and for little or no reason which we can understand (i.e., why and how the Atom-God came to possess such powers in the first place). The Deo-Atomist worships his trillions of gods unreservedly, with the most perfect, trusting, non-rational faith imaginable. He is what sociologists call a "true believer."
Oh, and we mustn't forget the Time-goddess as well. She is often invoked in worshipful, reverential, awe-inspiring terms as the be-all, end-all explanation for things inexplicable, as if by magic her very incantation rises to an explanatory level sufficient to shut up any silly Christian, who is foolish enough to believe in one God rather than trillions. The Time-goddess might be said to be the highest in the ranks of the Deo-Atomist's wonderfully-varied hierarchy of gods, since she is one, rather than trillions (sort of the "Zeus" of Deo-Atomism). One might call this belief Deo-Temporalism.
Deo-Atomism is a strong, fortress-like faith. It is often said that it "must be" what it is. How is this at all different from monotheism, where certain things are taken for granted as basic beliefs? There is no epistemological difference. The atheist's and materialist's or positivist's or naturalist's religion is Deo-Atomism; mine is theistic Christianity. Matter is their god; a Creator Spirit God is mine. The Deo-Atomist simply reverses the error of the Gnostics. They thought spirit was great and that matter was evil. Deo-Atomists think matter is great (and god) and spirit is not only "evil" (metaphorically-speaking), but beyond that: non-existent. In a certain remote sense, on one level, the Christian reacts to such profound religious belief with the thought, "Who am I to endanger by rational argument such a sublime fideism and Absolute Trust in a Teleological Argument vis-a-vis trillions of Atom-gods? I can only stand in awe of such Pure Faith."
Deo-Atomists may and do differ on secondary issues, just as the various ancient polytheistic cultures differed on quibbling details (which god could do what, which material made for a better idol, etc.), but despite all, they inevitably came out on the side of polytheistic idolatry, with crude material gods, and against spiritual monotheism.
Some Deo-Atomist utterances even have the "ring" of Scriptures, such as an appropriate humility urged in man's opinion of his own importance, because the universe is so large, and we are so small, as if material or spatial largeness itself is some sort of inherently God-like quality. One Deo-Atomist told me that "order is in the eye of the beholder." That reminded me of the biblical Proverbs (perhaps he was the Deo-Atomist equivalent of Solomon).
Of course, in Deo-Atomism, each person is gods too, because he is made up of trillions of Atom-gods and also lots of Cell-gods, so there are lots of gods there indeed! When you get trillions of gods all together in one place, it stands to reason that they can corporately perceive the order of which any one of them individually is capable of producing. So within the Deo-Atomist faith-paradigm, this makes perfect sense. But for one outside their circle of religious faith, it may not (just to warn the devout, faithful Deo-Atomist that others of different faiths may not think such things as "obvious" as they do). The Deo-Atomist manages to believe any number of things, in faith, without mere explanation.
In other words, the "why" questions in the context of Deo-Atomism are in and of themselves "senseless." And the reason why that is (i.e., for the Deo-Atomist), is because the question impinges upon the Impenetrable Fortress of blind faith that the Deo-Atomist possesses. If the question of "Why does God exist?" is senseless, then it follows straightforwardly that likewise, the question, "Why do the Atom-gods and Cell-gods and the Time-goddess exist and eternally possess the extraordinary powers that they do?" is senseless, meaningless and oughtn't be put forth. One simply doesn't ask such questions. It is bad form, and impolite in mixed company. We know how sensitive overly-religious folk are.
Instead, we are asked to bow to the countless mysteries of Deo-Atomism in humble adoration and awed silence, dumbstruck, like the Magi at the baby Jesus' manger, offering our "scientific" and "philosophical" allegiance like they offered gold and frankincense and myrrh. The very inquiry is senseless and "intrusive." And so rational examination is precluded at and from the outset. It is, indeed, an ingenious, self-contained system: hopelessly irrational and self-defeating; ultimately incoherent, of course, but ingenious and admirable in its bold, brilliant intellectual audacity and innovation, if nothing else.
In other words, it is an immensely enjoyable game to play, like much of modern philosophy-cum-religion. Deo-Atomism might go by many names, but when the rubber meets the road, it is all pretty much the same: Boundless Faith in Matter-gods, Cell-gods, and the Time-Goddess.

This was funny. If you are up for it I'll play.
I've actually joked my two gods are entropy and gravity. And I get what you mean by Deo-Atomism, and I can live with it. Time for me is a property of the universe, space time expansion. So it is a child deity of entropy. I'm not sure what you mean by "cell god" I'm gathering probably something about evolution, but I'll let you expand on that one before commenting.
Why do the Atom-gods and Cell-gods and the Time-goddess exist and eternally possess the extraordinary powers that they do?"
Atoms exist because as the energy density of space decreases (cooling) the density expresses itself with the creation of matter, which is a concentrated form of energy and mostly empty space. Further cooling causes this baryon matter to pul together into lower energy hydrogen plasma structures.
The directionality of time exists because of entropy. Most reactions are reversible but entropy creates a directionality to time.
I'm defining the extraordinary powers as gravity: i.e. the ability of mass to attract other mass. And why that exists... I have no clue.
The property of entropy exists, essentially because of the central limit theorem. That continuous random sampling over enough samples causes a deterioration towards a mean.
As for eternal possessing their properties, they don't.
Atoms can only be stable long term at certain heat levels. For many years the universe was too hot for atoms. And based on current estimates of the size, and energy of the universe around the year 10 trillion the universe will start getting cold enough that we are going to have net proton decay.

The point of the piece is to show that atheists have at least as much faith as theists. All of these marvelous things are believed to have come about without a God, and no one can ultimately explain why or how it began. That takes faith. It's no more reasonable than believing in a God Who is eternal and non-material, as the ground of everything.

I don't see anything I wrote, that requires faith. The things atheists believe in are empirically observable via. infinitely reproducible experiments.
For example my version of this crucially depends on an expanding universe. Curved space-time is proven to the point that everyday technologies from microchips to GPS make use of the equations from general relativity. You don't need faith in general relativity to believe in it. The Friedmann equations drop right out of the general relativity equations and have been known since 1922. From red shift, and Hubles observations we had empirical confirmation of an exanding univers. Recently we've been able to get a full model the universe at 380k years with cosmic microwave background radiation. We know what the
universe looked like when the nuclear age started.
There are thousands of nuclear power plants operating all over the world, no faith is required to believe that nuclear processes can emit energy and the equations for nuclear emission are correct.
I don't see how I'm demonstrating any sort of blind faith. I'd even argue that things like neo-logical positivism / analytic philosophy that underly most atheists are fully defendable.
I've often made the same argument myself regarding the atomic theory of matter (matter is composed smallest units that are non-decomposable) vs. the continuous theory of matter (matter has no smallest unit, everything is decomposable). Virtually everyone I meet believes absolutely in the atomic theory of matter and dismisses the continuous theory out of hand. About 1% of them have any non-faith based reason for doing so, for the other 99% it is really nothing more than an appeal to authority.
But... and this crucial. Scientific authority has established itself, because of a long track record of successful technology. The computer I'm using to type this respons works as proof in and of itself of most of the claims that an evolutionist Jan 7, 1912 would have asserted in his argument with a creationist from Jan 7, 1912.
I don't agree that believing in the empirically observable infinitely reproducible is no more reasonable than believing in the non-observable non-reproducible. I'd say that's almost axiomatic epistemology. The things I can be most sure of are those things which continuously verify themselves.

Right. Same-old same old there. The faith lies at the presuppositional level. You can't absolutely prove the fundamental axioms of science. I've written a ton of things about philosophy of science . . .

I'm surprised you as a Catholic are using the Reformed presuppositional argument. I don't agree Van Til, that it is just presuppositions. I think you can derive logical from empiricism and once you have logic + observation you have analytic philosophy.
I had thought that with this post you were going to go to the "positivism is a presupposition" but rather argue that given analytic philosophy that Christian divinities are more consistent / involve less presuppositions than Deo-Atomism.
- Sat Jan 07, 03:06:00 PM EST

I'm going to expand a bit on my Van Til point.
Assume for a moment that I have philosophical / theological systems A, B. C.... L many with their own special revelations. Let G represent the truth, the system that actually corresponds to actual reality.
For the Reformed, man is fundamentally depraved it makes no difference if he cannot determine whether G is in fact true, in his natural state he's going to reject G anyway and pick one of the others 100% of the time. It is only if a supernatural event occurs and his will is overpowered that he is going to accept G.
Catholics though reject this idea totally, CCC 50-58 and argue that truth of God is apparent in all systems and to all people. G is not arbitrary choice but a follower of A, even using the presuppositions of A sees G as "true". And in the same way B even using the presuppositions of B sees G as true.
I can't see the choice of presuppositional system being arbitrary, is consistent with the notions like natural law. Is divine law arbitrary or is it an extension of eternal law which is self evidentially true? The fundamental claim of the Catholic church is that it is (small c) catholic. I'm enjoying reading your articles on Calvin right now (ironically enough), where you are attacking Calvin for making points like this which contradict centuries of Christian teaching.

No, I'm not espousing Van Tillian presuppositionalism. I argue against that. I was making a general point, and, like you said, I believe that positivism requires unprovable axioms.
I'm just not in the mood for atheist arguments at the moment, because I've done so much of that. No reflection on you! I hope you stick around. Perhaps we will hit on some particular thing that we both want to talk about and have the motivation to do a whole debate. I think it would be fun.
I was hanging around atheists a lot a little over a year ago and it was fun for a while until things got personal among a few of the folks, and that always turns me off because then good will to discuss is lost. But several of them were nice all the way through.
At one meeting I did a presentation where it was myself and about 15 atheists in a room. That was great fun! I immensely enjoyed myself that night.
Then we had one guy to my house at a group discussion, where he argued the case for Jesus' nonexistence. So that night it was he and one other atheist and about 6-8 Christians.

(part 1)
I understand cycles. I go through cycles of interest myself. And I fully agree with you on how much bad behavior poisons debate.
OK well I've been picking topics from your website. I've noticed a few things:
1) I think the guy who was arguing for Baptists succession, Landmarkism, did a terrible job. You presented the standard counter argument the one many Baptists today, who believe in English Separatist origins, would present and he folded in ignorance.
I'm kinda a moderate on this believing in the core of both Separatist origins and Landmarkism. The plus is I can defend something like Landmarkism in a way I think you would find historically sane, "While the specifics in classical Landmarkism are a bit off, the general idea of Christian primitivism are quite correct."
If the defense you quoted was the best you've ever seen for Landmarkism you've never debated it.
2) In a similar vein the argument that "look for church Jesus founded"
I think there are multiple good anti-arguments here that generally ignored like:
a) Ellen White's position that the only church Jesus founded was the Jerusalem church, and that was the church he explicitly ordered destroyed so that it would not become an idol (Landmarkism).
b) Bultmann style gnostic origins.
I tend to see Catholicism as, depending on how you want to count, originating in the 2nd to 3rd century not the first.
2) I think the guy who was arguing with you regarding church property didn't make his point clearly and the whole thing was much more muddled than it needed to be. I believe the reason was his Republicanism got in the way of his Protestantism so he wasn't willing to just come and say what he meant, "In a state church, church property belongs to the state not the denomination and the state is free to reallocate that property however it sees fit. State churches are departments within the government, and as such they aren't capable of owning property in the sense of a private entity."
And I agree with that. I think you would have had a far better discussion, with a Democrat Protestant. I think it might have helped explicate that the debate was fundamentally political and secular not religious.
I also think the guy failed to distinguish between Renaissance ethics and his own values, since he wants to see himself as more contiguous with Luther than he is. He should have had two separate lines.
3) I'm reading your critique of Calvin's Institutes right now. I'm finding lots of places where I think you miss the thrust of his argument, either agreeing where I don't think you should or failing to see connections he's making. The problem is that I fully agree with your basic position that Calvin is a self contradictory mess when it comes to church authority and tradition. The primary goal of the magisterial Reformation was a failure.
So I'd call the likely result a discussion than a debate. My points are going to be no, no... Calvin isn't saying A, though if he were I agree with your counter case. Calvin is saying B, which is also wrong but for entirely different reasons. :)

(part 2)
4) The legitimacy of the English Reformation. I think this hits on many of the themes of the German Reformation, but without the complexity being caused by the fact that German isn't a well functioning state. So politically it is cleaner and less prone to having to argue complex details. The downside in terms of additional complexity is religiously the whole thing is more muddled because Henry VIII is a narcissist, in the clinical sense a bad Catholic not a Protestant. As Mary said of his inconsistency, "He burns one and marries another".
Elizabeth is a more interesting case in that she adopts what will become the Protestant position, refusing any sort of persecution for belief, "make windows into men's hearts and secret thoughts"
5) Feel free to throw some possible topics out yourself, where you are looking for a foil.

I guess I am wondering what the purpose and goal of debate is, if you don't have a particular Christian position you are advocating / defending, that you actually espouse yourself.
Most debates I do are exercises of comparative truthfulness and plausibility.
I'm not sure what you believe yourself. It seems to me that debate makes the most sense if one is advocating a position, and then discussing with someone else why one's own position is superior to the other guy's: in other words, "why x rather than y is true, or the true Christian worldview."
So I'd like to ask you:
1) What are you trying to accomplish in a possible debate with me?
2) What particular worldview do you seek to defend? You said somewhere that you were an atheist? But also that you had an interest in theosophy (?). That is a little unusual itself . . . sort of a unique combination.

This is an apologetics blog. I'm showing up because I'm in the mood to read and discuss your apologetic arguments. Why would I need some motivation beyond that? If I felt like discussing race horses I'd be on a different blog.
But if you want something where I'm not taking a position, well this debate was one where I agree with the view. I even redefined your topic to match my beliefs. The whole gravity / entropy thing was me taking your topic and making it match my position. That wasn't coming from your post, that was coming from my beliefs.
I don't get why you have spent years formulating a bunch of arguments if you don't want to argue these positions. Is it you who would rather be discussing race horses?
I wasn't looking to defend a worldview. I have an untroubled relationship with atheism. I don't have the slightest doubt your god doesn't exist. I'm here looking to address specific historical and moral questions which are far less broad than an entire worldview.
My opinions about the existence of Yahweh are unlikely to change to in a discussion, that is a waste of time for me. On the other hand my opinions about the evolution of Luther's thinking is likely to change in a good discussion. You seem to have read more Luther than I have, and seem to like to write about him. If I'm wrong and you don't like discussing Luther then I find it odd you would have written this gigantic blog. But OK.
- Sun Jan 08, 06:43:00 PM EST
- Dave Armstrong said...
I do defend positions, but it is against those (by and large) who have a particular Protestant view, because I'm trying to show that the Catholic view is more plausible than any Protestant one.
In other words, I have an apologetics purpose beyond simply historical questions (interesting though they may be).
But you are interested simply in historical opinions beyond the question of whether they support Protestantism of some sort.
That's far less interesting or motivating to me.
There may be some topic where I am "in the mood" to debate, but we haven't touched upon one as of yet.
Part of it is that I am immersed presently in working on my latest book and haven't debated much at all, other than politics lately.

Hey there!
I upgraded to Windows 8 yesterday and I'm having a problem which is that when I plug in my iPhone or iPad they aren't showing on 'My Computer' or Dropbox importing new pictures from my phone but they do show in iTunes and sync fine.
When I have a look at the devices installed they show as Generic Apple Device.
Anybody else having the same problem? I've tried doing a search and nothing came up (or if it did it was from 2011).

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor.
Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups--porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal; some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite--telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.
"What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups.
"Now consider this: Life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position in society are the cups.
They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and do not change the quality of Life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided.
"So, don't let the cups drive you .... enjoy the coffee instead."
Have a Great Week!
May GOD Bless and Keep You & Yours Safe Always.

Welcome to the World of Caffeine!
Caffeine-Based Gold Compounds May Fight Cancer
It has been known for some time that caffeine can kill cancer cells. In fact, the therapeutic power of caffeine has been documented for potentially treating brain cancer, head and neck cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer, liver cancer, skin cancer, oral/pharyngeal cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, and even lung cancer. Now, researchers report in the American Chemical Society journal Inorganic Chemistry that a combination of a caffeine-based compound with a small amount of gold could someday be used as an anticancer agent.
Cancer researchers Angela Casini and Michel Picquet and their colleagues note that even though caffeine may serve as a possible anticancer treatment, drinking gallons of coffee, sodas and energy drinks is not practicable. The reason is that the amount of caffeine in these drinks might start to have harmful effects on healthy cells, too, at the levels necessary to kill cancerous ones. However, because gold can wipe out cancer cells also, and, like caffeine, it can harm healthy cells, the research team put the two together to see whether the new caffeine-based gold compounds could selectively stop cancer cells from growing without hurting other cells.
Researchers made a series of seven new compounds, called caffeine-based gold (I) N-heterocyclic carbenes, in the laboratory and studied them. They found that, at certain concentrations, one of the compounds of the series selectively killed human ovarian cancer cells without harming healthy cells.
Breakthroughs like this one support the tremendous value of CRADA, Inc. (Caffeine Research and Development Association), an organization that is currently being founded as a non-profit corporation to encourage and promote research into and the development of pharmacological derivatives of caffeine that offer improvements over caffeine's numerous established therapeutic and health benefits.

Wake the Dead with Caffeine!
An Englishman was recently was found dead in his West Midlands flat, and, at his inquest, the Black Country Coroner, Mr. Robin Balmain, blamed his death on a "massive overdose of caffeine." In fact, the man had consumed a bag of twelve caffeinated Hero Instant Energy Mints containing a total of 500 mg of caffeine. This is about the amount of caffeine in two 8 oz cups of filter-drip Arabica coffee or of a large cup of Starbucks burned Robusta brew.
This coroner announced he would write to the Department of Health to express concerns over the death of the former painter and decorator. He said, "This is a potentially very dangerous situation. The level of caffeine is enormous."
Still Alive!
The good news is that, if this Englishman really was not exposed to any other cause of death, then he must still be alive! This is so, because such small amount of caffeine would not kill anyone. If it could, stretchers would be filled with Starbucks patrons and other coffee drinkers, carrying them to emergency trucks and to the morgue.
Obviously, caffeine paranoia is alive and well! Reasonable people would do well to sit down, enjoy a cup of caffeinated coffee or a caffeinated energy mint, and recognize that, for most of us, caffeine safely boosts our mood and improves our health.
Judge Converses with Horse
Perhaps you sometimes wonder why our government is run so poorly. One reason might be the intellectual incapacity of our judges, our legislators, and our President. And, possibly, if these people would use more caffeine, they just might be a bit smarter and more competent. This video illustrates the mental weakness of one judge who, obviously, just doesn't use any caffeine!

Memories, Memories — Good News about Caffeine!
A new study from Johns Hopkins University has proven for the first time that caffeine consolidates and preserves long-term memory.
It has long been known that a little caffeine ramps up concentration, attention, vigilance, visuospatial reasoning, and the ability to perform calculations and think logically. It has also been recognized that caffeine improves short-term memory, for example, remembering a telephone number you have just looked at before you dial it. In addition, caffeine has been shown to improve the sometimes declining memories of older people. However, until this study was completed, no one knew if caffeine's benefits to mental processes extended to boosting long-term memory in people of all ages.
The New Study
To conduct this study, researchers picked over 150 volunteers who did not usually consume much caffeine. The volunteers were asked to study pictures of flowers, musical instruments, and other objects. After the participants viewed the pictures, the scientists gave half of them a pill containing either 100mg, 200mg, or 300mg of caffeine–-the amount found in a 4oz, an 8oz, or a 12oz cup of filter-drip coffee—and gave the other half an identical looking placebo. Neither the subjects nor the researchers knew until the study ended who had taken caffeine and who had taken the placebo.
The next day, researchers showed the volunteers more pictures, asking the volunteers if these pictures were the same, different, or different but similar to the pictures they had been shown the day before. The subjects who had been given 200mg caffeine pills performed significantly better at spotting and identifying pictures similar to the ones they had seen the previous day than did the subjects who had been given a placebo. In further tests, the researchers discovered that less than 200mg of caffeine conferred little or no benefit, while 300mg did not improve memory performance any more than the 200mg had done. ("Post-study caffeine administration enhances memory consolidation in humans," Nature Neuroscience, Daniel Borota, et al., January 12, 2014.)
Building Brain Connections to Help You Remember
How can caffeine help us to improve our ability to preserve and retrieve memories? A section of the brain called the "hippocampus" is responsible for maintaining long-term memory. Decades ago, researchers at the Weisman Institute in Israel discovered the astonishing fact that caffeine causes dendritic spines, the branching extensions at the ends of nerve cells that allow them to make synaptic connections with each other, to grow longer and even caused new spines and branches to develop as well ("Release of calcium from stores alters the morphology of dendritic spines in cultured hippocampal neurons," Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, E. Korkotian and M. Segal, US, 96:12068-72, 1999). The recent Johns Hopkins study provides the first direct evidence that this proliferation of dendrites actually does improve long-term memory in human beings. This study demonstrates that caffeine is the only known substance that can augment brain functions by altering the physical structure of the brain.
Modest Amounts of Caffeine Work Best
Modest amounts of caffeine do the most. If you take more than you need, the benefit for long-term memory is eroded. So how much caffeine is best for memory consolidation? It turns out that, for many people, about 200mg of caffeine, the amount in an 8oz cup of filter-drip coffee, is excellent for cementing your memories. Up to 300mg seems to do even more; but, as we said, significantly more than this may actually start to reverse the memory benefits. However, remember that caffeine sensitivity and the way caffeine is metabolized varies widely. Some people will do better with much less caffeine, while others do better with considerably more. For example, genetic predispositions dramatically alter the effects of identical amounts of caffeine on different people. Therefore, the only way to really know how much caffeine you should take is by trying caffeine for yourself and seeing how you do and how you feel.
How to Get Your Caffeine Memory Boost
An 8oz cup of filter-drip coffee, containing about 200mg of caffeine is a good source of caffeine to help your memory. Some people may even prefer a 200mg caffeine tablet. Other sources of caffeine can provide the same benefit.
Below is a list of the approximate amounts of caffeine in some commonly consumed products:
- Arabica filter-drip coffee (8oz): 200mg
- Robusta filter-drip coffee (8oz): 400mg
- Dark chocolate bar (1.45oz): 31mg
- Soda (12oz): 40mg
- Diet soda (12oz): 45mg
- Energy drink (12oz): 115mg (on average)
- Black tea (6oz): 50mg
- Coffee ice cream (8oz): 60mg
(Note: Arabica coffee beans are better quality beans and have half the caffeine of harsher tasting Robusta coffee beans. You might want to know that Duncan Donuts and MacDonald's use Arabica beans, while most coffee shops use Robusta beans.)
So, if you want to ramp up your memory, don't forget caffeine!

Forbes Blasts FDA for Unconstitutional "Regulation by Intimidation"
In a recent groundbreaking editorial, Forbes magazine called the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to account for playing into the hands of politicians seeking publicity and attorneys trying to win judgements. Forbes specifically accuses the FDA of levying threats and intimidation against companies using caffeine in their products. According to the editorial, this bullying is not only morally wrong, it is actually unconstitutional.
The editorial lampoons the FDA for making partisan condemnations of companies that sell products containing small to moderate amounts of caffeine, while ignoring coffee companies selling products with far larger amounts of caffeine:
Hey you! Yes you, food company (no, not you,
coffee proprietor). We're not happy that your product has caffeine in it. Um, you know, you really might want to reconsider that particular ingredient.
The editorial explains that the FDA is marshaling "unsubtle threats and heavy-handed persuasion." However, because Forbes is a firm believer "in due process, fair notice, consistency, and transparency from our Fourth Branch of government," it cannot approve the FDA's high-handed "saber-rattling."
"The FDA frequently takes its cues on caffeine from professional activists and publicity-seeking politicians," Forbes charges. U.S. Senators and state attorneys general have been busily besmirching (and subpoenaing) energy drink makers, and the FDA seems to have jumped on board for the bumpy ride of controlling behavior by using threats. Then, last November, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a nutty activist group invested with paranoia about caffeine, dispatched a two-page letter to FDA on the "new craze" of adding caffeine to processed foods. True to form, the FDA responded by raising a club to intimidate the companies involved.
An example of FDA "regulation by intimidation" surfaced on May 3, when Michael Taylor, the FDA Deputy Commissioner, called out gum maker Wrigley on a new product, stating that, while formal regulation might be forthcoming, "we hope this can be a turning point for all to prevent the irresponsible addition of caffeine to food and beverages. Together, we should be immediately looking at what voluntary restraint can be used by industry." Wrigley got the message and on May 8 announced a halt in production of the gum.
"The agency's approach circumvents every constitutional and statutory check and balance purposefully placed on bureaucratic action," the editorial states. The intellectual bankruptcy of the FDA stance is luridly proven by the facts that, "Coffee is a much more widely available source of caffeine, and an equal-sized portion of it can contain twice as much caffeine as one demonized energy drink. But no one at FDA is looking to seize your or even your children's cup (or two, or three or four cups) of Joe."
Furthermore, Forbes says that, "as long as FDA's actions aren't tethered to standards or science, they threaten to sweep in products that don't merit any concern or scrutiny." An example is the successful FDA effort "to drive some caffeine-infused alcoholic beverages, like Four Loko" out of business, even though Ivy League studies have proven that caffeine poses no danger when combined with alcohol, and Irish coffee, a common bar drink, contains far more caffeine and alcohol than any Four Loko product.
Of course, we might well wonder why adult citizens of a free country should be forced to submit to FDA politicos sitting behind desks in Washington who presume to tell us what medicines we can take and what medical treatments we can receive.
Perhaps the next step by the FDA will be to actually deprecate and attack beverages that get their caffeine from natural products like coffee, chocolate, or tea. Where will all of this abuse come to and end? Asks Forbes, "Where indeed?"

The DSM-5: American Psychiatric Association Goes Berserk over Caffeine!
In the new fifth edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5), "caffeine intoxication" and "caffeine withdrawal" have been lumped in with heroin and alcohol addiction in the APA's official list of mental disorders. As a result of such dubious notions, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has nixed the DSM and decided to ignore the DSM categorizations in the future.
According to Keith Ablow, MD, an experienced psychiatrist, the APA is simply continuing its campaign "to pathologize every American and make all of us ripe for psychiatric medications covered by insurance."
The members of the APA are also using factitious mental disorders to increase their status as innovative leaders in psychiatry. By "discovering" new mental illnesses, these psychiatrists attempt to join the likes of genuinely ground-breaking thinkers like Sigmund Freud.
Caffeine is consumed without ill effects by well over two hundred million Americans each day. "Focusing on caffeine as a drug, like heroin, is just a land grab for more patients," comments Dr. Ablow. "Will sugar excitement syndrome be next? How about post-food fatigue syndrome? Spring water obsession disorder?"
Finally, Dr. Ablow concludes,
"But there's this little fact to deal with: I am 51-years-old and have practiced psychiatry for almost 20 years. I have met with thousands of daily caffeine users, and it has been a significant problem in the lives of precisely none of them. Not one. Zero. Zilch. No one reading this blog will know anyone who needed to go into a detox facility to deal with caffeine addiction. No lives have been laid low by caffeine. People aren't stealing coffee and tea from grocery stores to get high, or buying caffeine pills on inner city streets."
In creating its bloated and fictionalized list of so-called "mental problems," the APA seems to demonstrate a classification mania, itself perhaps a mental disorder, and also makes an attempt to broaden the group of people who would become paying patients of psychiatrists.
Dr. Ablow warns that Medicare and Medicaid should "beware." These insurers "should refuse payment for any psychiatric service supposedly delivered for caffeine intoxication and caffeine withdrawal – and other insurers should, too."
The good news is that the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has disavowed the new DSM-5. The institute recently announced that it would no longer fund research based on the manual's categorizations, because the DSM has no value in determining the causes and treatments of psychological problems. All we can say is, "Bravo!"

Live a Life of Travel and Excitement!
Are you not a 9 to 5 person? Are you tired of your everyday routine? Do you wish to travel around the world and relish special colors of life? Well, if your answer is 'Yes', don't think you're crazy! You don't need to be a rich! You're most likely different; you're perhaps an individual who wants to live an extraordinary adventurous life; you're perhaps a born traveler!
Living a life of travel, all over the world, is utterly possible with little money and no taxis st thomas usvi… So, never think that you can't organize this life. Though, I'm not an avid traveler, however, I've experienced an incredible travelling life, and I've formed friendships with those professional travelers who possess the secrets of all-time travelling… Luckily, during my tours, I asked them so many questions – regarding living a life of travel, and they shared various nuggets of gold; their advice opened my mind to that level where I began to perceive why some people say that travelling is a million times more essential than reading books. It's surprising and eye-opening; I jotted down all the advices, and today I'm going to share them with you so that you can live the life of dreams – a life of travelling!
Travel in Your Young Age
That's the most important advice I received from more or less all professional, credible travelers. Most of them nearly yelled with passion that the best time to travel is your young age; even if you have a few days, never waste them; just opt for the destination and go; read the other pages of your life; do those things which can paint your life more beautiful.
Paul, a 46 year old professional traveler, ran into me in Rio de Janeiro with his nine more adult friends, told me that, "if you wish to travel, travel in your young age, because your early life is the occasion of utter authority; you get what you wish; you do what you want." That's a rather deep conversation, and regarding other important topics too, related to travel, but that time I realized that why travelling in young is so important. It's not only Mark that compelled me to think about it. However, it won't be wrong to say that, he actually was the one who influenced me to write this piece. Since, according to him, most people don't perceive why travelling at a young age is so important, and why we should travel, more and more, over and over, in that age. It's probably because the passion of our early life, or the weight of building a beautiful future, doesn't allow us to do that. But, when elderly age signs the death warrants of our youth, it's that time when we realize that we have neglected so many things. And, that time we regret a lot.
Apart from this, according to Paul, there are countless reasons to travel in young age.
For instance:
* Polishes Your Perception: Yes! That's right. The more you travel, the more you polish your perception; when you see the astonishing splendor of the sunsets above oceans, eagles flying over mountains, monkeys dancing through the trees, and volcanoes breathing the blazing breaths, your soul and mind awake and paint the world in an utterly new perspective. And, consequently, this thing helps you to decipher how you want to act in your life; you comprehend that there is no lone way to live a lifetime. In fact, there're so many ways; there are so many opportunities which can grant you the best and the most loving life.
* Makes You an Interesting Person: What if you knew thousands of people like one of the expats over at Lebanon Expats? What if you have a thousand interesting things to say? Would you ever appear boring? No! You won't! In fact, people would love to spend time in your company. When you travel in your younger years, you appear worldly wise and well-informed, which is an immensely attractive trait; you always have a lot of things to talk about which impel people to assume that you're a special and independent soul, and you have a clear edge over others; you become the piece of every gathering; people unconsciously treat you as the leader and offer you luxurious attention. When you have these advantages in young age, you inhale and exhale the breaths of happiness entire life; you live and walk like a superstar.
* Develop New Friendships: In young age, you're more likely to build up new friendships rapidly; you enhance your lifestyle by finding out those people who share the same interests as you. If you constantly feel that you don't know who you are, or you need to find yourself, then you can't do that from the comfort of your home. Just travel! That's how you would find yourself and understand the meaning of your life. I've seen many young people who've transformed into utterly new people by meeting new, and more suitable, groups of friends during travelling; some youngsters even found the loves of their life and living a happy married life now.
What If I'm Not Young?
Well, it can be challenging, but it won't be impossible to relish the life, of course; travelling is immensely favorable in the older age too when it comes to flourish your physical and mental strength. However, there are a few things that banish the chances of pure fun in old age. For instance: family responsibilities, business demands, and hectic lifestyle, etc. It doesn't matter whether you're super rich, or you're an average person, these things just play an important role in elderly age. Apart from this, when you're not young, you think a lot before taking any action; you perceive that you don't have many opportunities to pick up new hobbies; you espouse only those hobbies which you can handle according to your comfort. For instance: you avoid participating in extreme sports, such as hiking, surfing, and kayaking etc. You also don't easily socialize with modern culture and hunt for those people who share your ideas and frame of mind… These are some small disadvantages, but the truth is you don't even ponder them, when you experience the diverse beauty and novelty of life while travelling; you, in fact, feel like a new person, and life becomes a temptation for you!
