UnhappywifeNaperville, IL Fri, Oct 25, 2013Cooks fine but too much noise from fan We bought this as a replacement for our Whirlpool speed cook, convection microwave. This is the only one that has Accuwave technology other than the $1,050 model. While it does everything it is supposed to do it makes as much noise when just the microwave is running as when the fan is on high. And the vent fan has a decibel level on low that is higher than most microwaves have on high or boost. The noise level is so high that it is not possible to talk in the kitchen when it is running. It is being returned. Was this helpful?YesNo Flag VA1000, Thu, Oct 3, 2013Very nice product with easy to use features Bought this to replace another microwave that died.

I haven't used alot of features, but I do know that the soften or melt butter feature requires several applications to actually melt or soften the butter from the fridge. And I don't like that I have to hit cancel after using a feature to reuse the feature. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. The vent fan is amazing and not nearly as loud as my old one and it is very easy to clean. Overall I'm satisfied with it and feel its worth its value. I would recommend this product to a friend.

It has a very large interior, but is super quiet. It is great-looking, goes perfectly with my other Frigidaire stainless steel appliances, and works great. It never takes as much time as on the directions of a food item or recipe, so be aware of that. I'd say it takes about 30 seconds less for every 4-5 minutes on high. It beeps very loudly 3 times when it's done, which is great if you are in another room. I'd like to find a way to make it 1 beep or quieter if I am working in the kitchen.

Had to make an unexpected purchase because our Whirlpool went out after 11 years. Installation was a lot easier than it could have been because our previous back bracket FIT this unit. Mounting holes on top needed adjusting, fan blowers needed to be turned (which was a piece of cake). The amazing thing is how quiet this unit is. We thought maybe it wasn't workng because it isn't nealy as loud as our previous microwave. Looks great, sounds great. Amazing deal!

2.0 cu. ft. Built-in microwave oven with 1200 cooking watts, 3 auto cook options, sensor cook, 7 user preference options and one-t...ouch options. Image shown with optional trim kit. Optional trim kit for 30" is... HutchResKansas City, MO 14 of 14 people found this review helpful.Sat, Feb 2, 2013 Good Looking and Strong, but very noisy I was the owner/user of this microwave and also am a residential contractor for whats it worth. The installation is seamless and the trim kit... though made of plastic, is thick enough to be okay. If trying to match colors, both the micro and trim are gloss black. Once you start it though, the motor engages in a deep, loud vibration that continues into a loud hum; more so than any other unit I have ever installed. I removed the micro and set it on something solid all by itself, the vibration increased and was clearly coming from the motor. Further inspection online revealed numerous complaints about the noise via Google. Sears took the return without complaint and great to work with. Was this helpful?YesNo Flag DouglasPHouston, TX 32 of 32 people found this review helpful.Tue, Jul 24, 2012Frigidare Gallery Very Good Microwave, But Built-In Beware This is a good microwave with many normal and advanced features. I have no complaints about the microwave except one. My previous GE allowed use of the cook function and timer feature (to time something else) at the same time. This Frigidare does not have that capability; one or the other. Other than that it is a good oven. What did bother me with the purchase is the lack of knowledge by the sales people and lack of information regarding the built-in nature of this microwave. The microwave ordered by itself has no ducting or air venting additions, so my question is what makes it a built-in? My previous microwave had additional air ducts to move the vented air from the exhaust back directly to the front air vent to exhaust in the room. What I found out later is that the additional built-in ducting come with the trim kit. No where in the literature I found nor that the salesman provided was that information available. I did not order the trim kit as the Frigidare face plate did not match the dimensions of the wall space I needed to cover. I expected the microwave to come ducted and the trim kit to have the center equipment and face plate. I ended up finding out through a knowledgeable source that the front bottom venting Frigidare is okay without ducting kit if the size of the wall hole is large enough and the front vent is close enough to the face plate to exhaust to the room. Since this is a non-convection oven the exhaust temperature is reasonably low. Problem solved, but delayed installation several days to find the information. I ended up using www.microtrim.com to order their trim kit which contained the mounting/centering guides and the face plate (I highly recommend www.microtrim.com). Bottom line this is a very good microwave, but be careful with the installation if you do not buy the trim kit. I would recommend this product to a friend.

The one thing I have seen which I am going to have to get used to is the counter intuitive method of selecting power. After selecting the power button, my old microwave used 1 for 10%, 2 for 20% etc, etc. On this microwave 1 is 100%, 2 is 90% and 3 is 80%. So, if you want 30% power you select 8. This method does seem a little awkward and counter intuitive to me. All in all, I am happy with the unit and I will enjoy it. I do like the fact you don't have to guess about timing on certain foods as they are programed into system. The sensor system plays a major part in that cooking time and seems quite impressive. There are some features I probably won read more

Osteoarthritis is an ongoing problem. But it doesn't have to keep you from leading an active life. You can help control symptoms by exercising and watching your weight. Using special tools also helps make life easier. Be sure to see your doctor as requested for checkups and lab work.
Gentle exercise can help lessen your pain. Keep the following in mind when you work out:
Choose exercises that improve joint motion and make your muscles stronger. Your doctor or a physical therapist may suggest a few.
Try low-impact sports, such as walking, biking, or doing exercises in a warm pool.
Don't push yourself too hard at first. Slowly build up your endurance over time.
When pain and stiffness increase, cut back on your workout.
If you weigh more than you should, your weight-bearing joints are under extra pressure. This makes your symptoms worse. To reduce pain and stiffness, try shedding a few of those extra pounds. The tips below may help:
Start a weight-loss program with the help of your doctor.
Ask your friends and family for support.
Join a weight-loss group.
Even simple tasks can be hard to do when your joints hurt. The special tools and aids listed here can make things easier by reducing strain and protecting your joints. Ask your health care provider where to find these and other helpful tools:
Long-handled reachers or grabbers
Jar openers and button threaders
Splints for your wrists or other joints
Large grips for pencils, garden tools, and other hand-held objects

For the animals that make their home on the island's beaches, though, it was devastating.
According to Norma Jean Zvrosec of the Coastal Wildlife Club, which monitors sea turtle nests on Gasparilla Island, Little Gasparilla Island and Manasota Key, virtually every nest from Gasparilla Pass to Boca Grande Pass has been washed over if not washed away completely.
"It will take a few weeks to know for sure how bad it is," said Zvrosec. "We will survey all of the nests that we had marked to see if there are still any with eggs remaining. Some of the nests further up in the dunes may have survived."
As of last Friday's report, the total number of sea-turtle nests on Gasparilla Island was 242, not counting nests in the state park south of the range light. It was a total that exceeded last year's at this time by almost 100 nests.
"It is heartbreaking, after all of the hard work of the turtles and volunteers," Zvrosec said.
Gasparilla Island Administration Park Manager Chad Lach reports that all four of the state parks that he runs have been hit hard.
"All of the parks did experience some flooding," said Lach. "This was caused by both the rain and the high tide. At Gasparilla Island State Park the only flooding that occurred was near the seawall parking area when the high tides breached the dunes. At Don Pedro Island State Park we got just over 13 inches of rain between Friday and Monday. The west part of Don Pedro land base experienced flooding from the tides. The tides and high winds resulted in damage to the dock at the land base. About two-thirds of the dock is missing.
"At Cayo Costa State Park the rain and high tides resulted in both campsites being flooded and all of the campers on the island being evacuated for their safety. At Stump Pass (on Manasota Key) the whole southern end of the park was completely underwater, caused by the high tide."
The turtle nests at the parks fared the same as the others on the barrier islands.
"Any of the turtles that nested on the beach, the nests have been washed out," Lach said. "We had five nests on the beaches of Gasparilla Island State Park, and now they are all gone."
Turtles were not the only animals to bear the brunt of Debby's heavy rains and high tides. Shorebird nests were also wiped out.
"The least tern and plover nests were eradicated," said Jeff Snapp, who monitors and photographs local birds and wildlife. "I went out onto the beach when the tide started coming in, and in just 30 minutes, the water went from ankle deep to knee deep in the nesting area."
Snapp managed to get a few pictures of adult and fledgling birds returning to the beach when the tide went back out, but all of the eggs that had been laid were washed away.
"If something happens to the first nest, the birds will usually make another one to replace it," explained Snapp. "But at this point, some of them were already on their second or third nest. I don't know if there will be any more this year."
Island beaches didn't fare as well as others in the county did, either. According to Justin McBride, who is with Lee County's Department of Natural Resources, we did lose some beach ... but gained some back.
"We gained elevation at almost every beach access we checked," he said. "The beach did what it was supposed to do, which is to create a bar just offshore. That's why the waves were breaking a little farther out. That protects the beach. The sand will gradually work its way back inland."
McBride said beach renourishment in this area is scheduled for sometime in 2014, and that the island actually "got off pretty easily," beach-wise.
Ironically, ditch cleaning at the northern end of Lee County's island jurisdiction had just been done, at least partially. According to Bob Green, who works with Lee County's Department of Transportation on the island, ditch cleaning had not been done since he started here in 1999. Workers cleared them last week.
Trees along roadways were recently trimmed and cleared of coconuts as well.

My girlfriend (a wine club member) and I enjoyed a tasting of six wines at Cuvaison on another perfect California day brimming with blue skies and cool breezes. This winery is so peaceful and amazing...with wonderful views from their tasting room patio. Cuvaison is set up on a small hill; the tasting room is so modern, a wall full of... More
With so many great tasting options in Napa..no reason to put up with rudeness, unethical business practices, and just ok wine. In a great day of wine tasting in Napa today, this was the only low point. I was with an out-of-town group doing some serious buying who left with an average of 8 bottles per winery. We used tasting... More
Beautiful, modern designed tasting room overlooking the vineyard. The wines were average, but only one person working multiple tastings, even though we had a reservation. Disappointed in the slow flow of this tasting. I hope it was due to an illness and that it is normally better staffed.
Friends had raved over Cuvasion and the humor of the woman who had conducted their tasting. She had mused about "pairing" each wine with a chip: corn, potato, chocolate. They left with several cases of wine. Alas, we had no such experience. We arrive to find the bar stacked several deep, those pouring chatting amoungst themselves more frequently than with... More
Wife and I visited California wine country in the fall. Napa one day, Sonoma the next. This is our 5th trip over the years. We found Cuvaison and had by far the best tasting ever. Joined the club and are enjoying shipments of excellent wine at reasonable price. Best to make reservations.
Let me start by saying I enjoy having a glass of wine with friends and family. I am not a wine expert, I am just giving my opinion on the experience and what tastes good to me. Our experience at Cuvaison was fantastic. We have been there twice and both times did our tasting with Travis. Although it's a busy... More
Our B&B manager recommended this winery tables for our pic nic. After biking and visiting touring another winery, we stopped at Cuvaison for lunch. At their store, we tasted the white and rose options they had chilled and chose the rose for our meal. Nice reception, nice tables under the oak trees and good wine!
This was the last stop of our day. We didn't care for any of the wines, except the $90 bottle of cab. The tasting room was full, but the servers were available and attentive to everyone. Overall it just wasn't our style.
A friend from the area recommended Cuvaision. What a great find. Unique and delicious wines with a great staff. The tasting room has a relaxed atmosphere. What a great place to enjoy delicious wine.

Relgion was a once useful tool in the evolution. Now it is useless and shriveling, like our appendix, it'll soon disappear.
Ohhh weee, what a fun thread. I for one belive in relgion. But the bible to me is a book, with some good stories and ways to live your life, and a lot of doodoo too.
The fundamentalist Christians as they call themselves seem to put the Bible ahead of God sometimes. I love to hear fundies try to explain how all of human life came from two people... But God does exist, simply because we are here. Yes we evolved however, from sludge or whatever, we did evolve, who is to say that God did not begin the evolutionary process? Ah fuck it... no one really cares anyways. The Fundies think they are right on the money and anyone who does not take the Bible as fact is going to hell, and no other religion will be saved. I think that is a little presumptious. The atheists think that nothing exists and when we die that is it... I think differently (NO NOT APPLE YOU FREAKY LITTLE MONKEYS), I think all you have to do is REALLY belive in something bigger than we can even imagine, that really does care for us in some way we cannot imagine and we will go to a better place when this life we have ends. |
Sacul: That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Its not as if people don't have plenty of other excuses for killing each other.
Loaf: We don't know. We can only believe, and be humble. Lucid42day: Precise definitions? Perhaps there is no such thing as a precise definition for anything. But that, as the guy in Conan said, is another story, and one that I think most of you would be completely uninterested in discussing. Religion in any sense is far from dead. The Pope is mobbed everywhere he goes; religion is the law in many countries, and in many others, mostly but not exclusively Muslim, large groups of people would like to make it the law, often by any means; an overwhelming percentage of people believe in some sort of higher power; there are three churches, at least, within walking distance of my Arlington, VA, home; etc., etc., etc. No religion is not dead. Unhip: What will replace it? Pan-capitalism/consumerism? I hope not. Science. Science doesn't answer all the questions. It answers the how and tells us that the why, which is ultimately more important and interesting anyway, is unimportant at best, or non-existent because it is not quantifiable. But people still ask why. And our appendices are still there. Evil_Merlin: Disclaimer: I am not questioning the truth or value of religion in general, nor of Christianity in particular, just what I believe to be an intellectually bankrupt subset thereof. Furthermore, I would imagine that these same objections would apply equally well to Muslim fundamentalists. I just don't know much about the Qu'ran. To those who say religion is a "crutch": be thankful then that you are so strong as not to need one. Or perhaps you are not strong enough to face your need. No man is an island, not even you. As Lacan said (more or less, only it was in French) the complete personality is another of the false promises of modern psychology. We all need support, and no more shame attaches to that than to a man whose leg is broken and needs a crutch to walk.
quote: I'm trying very, very hard not to be a cynical bastard about this. So, I'm just going to ask you, nicely, to "teach me" about why you think the Heisenburg[sic]Uncertainty Principle shows that science "does and will always contain faith." quote: I've found the opposite to be true. quote: From what I read, not closely enough.
I think it is said that people consider religion dead. Everday I learn more about science, I am drawn closer to my religion. Yes, science knows more today than it knew 30 years ago. Alot of the science community even feel that they'll have it all figured out pretty soon. However, It seems like the more we know, the more we figure out we don't quite have perfect.
For me, being a Latter Day Saint, my faith allows me to know that there is a reason for eery thing, and just because the human mind doesn't have it all worked out, doesn't mean there isn't some clear purpose for it. Finally, I think its sad that alot of people who don't know much about religion, think it is all about wearing really nice clothes on Sunday or the omnipotent, merciful being won't like you. I can't speak for every religion, but I know that in the Catholic and LDS religions that is not true. The true reason behind dressing up, would be the same reason you'd put on your best suit and tie to meet with the President of the United States(okay maybe that is a bad example), its not required, and he probably won't think of you in any worse light because you didn't, but it is a great sign of respect. And that is the true purpose of religion, in my eyes, to have a loving, respectful, relationship, that goes both ways, between you and the omnipotent being. Also, on the whole 'right'/'wrong' religion, I once again can't speak for every faith, but I know in mine every one will be given a chance. If you live your life as the 'wrong' religion, especially if you never had exposure to the 'right' religion, you will be given a chance to learn of the 'right' religion and accept it, rather than being immediatley forsaken. REMEMBER: Not only does religion base itself off of an omniscent, omnipotent being, but also a merciful being. [This message has been edited by Screwtape (edited November 27, 1999).] |
Einstein was not religious, he directly stated that he does not believe the individual continues on after deah.
Iesos, Jesus, Mithra, whatever you feel like calling this oft used fairy-tale, does not explain HOW, don't pretend that it's so. We are but the rocks and trees given different form. There is nothing that separates us from water, dirt, or air. There is no you, there is no me. |
I do think that religion has a place in this world, but I really don't think that it is worthwhile for me to try and argue with everyone, because putting someone else's beliefs down just makes him or her hostile towards you and your message. I've read your posts and I want to share what I whole-heartedly believe in. Therefore, I'm going to go out on a limb and explain Christianity the best that I can and perhaps if someone reads this and takes it to heart, it will be worthwhile. Here goes:
What is a Christian? A Christian is a person who believes in Jesus Christ, the son of God, who died for our sins, and rose from the dead - and this belief INFLUENCES AND CHANGES their life, and they live to follow Christ and not the world. Why should I believe this? Well, to be blunt, all of us are sinners and our sin separates us from God. God requires punishment for our sins. Since Adam and Eve ate the apple, we have been sinners who must die and face eternal punishment in hell. Romans 3:23 - 'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' So basically, all of us must go to hell'¦ But: Jesus, the Son of God, came to Earth, died on a cross and took on himself the punishment that we deserve. On the third day, he rose again from the dead and ascended into heaven. Through this act, he made it possible for us to again regain a place in heaven whenever we die. Why did he do this? John 3:16-17 - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, the whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.' This sounds good and all, but what do I have to do? Romans 10:9 - 'If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God rose him from the dead, you will be saved.' End of story'¦you will be saved. If you believe this then pray this prayer: Dear Lord, I confess that I am a sinner, and deserve punishment and separation from you, God. I confess Jesus as Lord and believe that He died on a cross for my sins and rose again. I want Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord and Savior of my life. In your Son's name I pray. Amen. If anyone would like to talk about this feel free to email me'¦email@example.com |
Good post Orion.
quote: The scary part is, science also might be able to tell you HOW you came to believe in something so utterly non-parsimonious and dogmatic. Also, just because you purport to have an answer WHY, does not mean it is the correct one. In fact, I have heard your WHY, and if you read the other pages in this thread, you will understand WHY I do not think it is worth my time. |
I've been thinking about this question alot, and I think its actually a non-issue. Let me explain.
Sheesh. What was I thinking? All this time I thought I rejected the idea of a God because it was preposterous, and I now I learn the truth: It's just because I don't want to be held accountable for my actions.
Good gracious! My cover has been blown. All my life I had been looking for a justification to murder, rape and pillage (whoops, that's the book of Joshua, sorry) but this whole "God" thing was getting in the way. Screwtape, people reject God because the idea is equal parts absurd and bereft of evidence. The Egyptians rejected it (along with many other cultures) because they had their own gods. And these cultures were most certainly accountable to their own gods. |
It is only a draft, so it's not nearly as together as it could be (still need to finish the works cited as well) but if anyone wishes to read my response to "Mere Christianity," they may do so here:
http://www.sonic.net/~xerexes/cslewis And for the record, I do not find his points "difficult to contest." |
"I'm just rather amused at how "Religion" and "Christianity" are being considered more-or-less the same thing in this thread...last time I checked, the latter was a sub-set of the former."- Jessica Not quite true. The various posts have mentioned Atheism (sp?) Agnostics, a token of Buddhism and lots of Evolution. Can anyone prove Darwin's Theory of Evolution? Did we come from monkeys? I would say no. Science does not prove. It disproves other theories. Is it safe to assume tat religion is not 'dead' or dying simply because it illicits such a vigorous response. Almost everyone has an opinion on this subject, if you look at this post or the similar post at ShrkyExtreme Forums (taken down I believe after 10,000's of posts). Maybe we need to ask how has Religion benefited us? and Science? Is Science the 'new' religion? Any scientists here? |
quote: So would evolutionists! I'm not going to argue evolution with someone who thinks that evolution says we "came from monkeys." Also quote: Not sure what you mean. If you think everything we know in science is defined in the negative, you're wrong. If you are simply stating that science makes no claim to aboslute truth then you are stating a tautology. If you want to argue evolution, start here: http://www.talkorigins.org/origins/faqs-qa.html [This message has been edited by underthumb (edited November 27, 1999).] |
Thanks underthumb
But the page you sen me really has the Christian mind as its target. I don't say I do not belive in Evolution but I am skeptical about the explanation of how man came from a 'primordial soup'. My belief is that ALL life evolved from water. However because I say this you will jump to more conclusions. Did I want to attack? Or argue? No I wanted to learn but your attitude hinders my approach to you. What about my other questions? Why not answer them too. |
And humans evolved from ape-like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered. So we came from 'ape-like ancestors' and I would disagree can anyone PROVE me wrong? i.e. diprove my statement that we did not come from Ape-like Ancestors. Moreover, "fact" doesn't mean "absolute certainty"; there ain't no such animal in an exciting and complex world. The final proofs of logic and mathematics flow deductively from stated premises and achieve certainty only because they are NOT about the empirical world. Can a scientist explain this to me in layman terms? |
Finally, there is an epistemological argument against evolution as fact. Some readers of these newsgroups point out that nothing in science can ever be "proven" and this includes evolution. According to this argument, the probability that evolution is the correct explanation of life as we know it may approach 99.9999...9% but it will never be 100%. Thus evolution cannot be a fact. This kind of argument might be appropriate in a philosophy class (it is essentially correct) but it won't do in the real world. So Evloution Theory is a FACT. Yet it can never be 100% true (for arguments sake the figure is 99.9999...9%, but I digress) yet it cannot be FACT because it is not 100% So we live in a Universe where nothing is 99.9999...9% true. So we don't know everything. So if I state 'I am me' this cannot also be a FACT yet in the 'real world' it is a FACT? This is silly. I postulate that Scientists are as silly as those 'Fundamentalists'. |
Invisible Angel-
It's not my job to prove you wrong--it's your job to prove yourself right. Until such a time, you're going to find it hard to dispute biology and anthropology. I don't have time to explain the entirety of human ancestry, but a good class in physical anthro will give you at least the basics. Your other questions: quote: "Is religion dead" may be the title of this thread, but if you read my initial post, you will see that this is not the entirety of my question. A better question might be "what place does religion have?" Many people have tried to answer that question in this thread. quote: No. For reasons why, please read pages 4 and 5. (Heck, read pages 1, 2 and 3 as well). [This message has been edited by underthumb (edited November 27, 1999).] |
My belief is that God does exist and that 'Proof of Creator' is feasible for us. I do not believe that we humans should believe in anything blindly. The Leap of Faith should not be a necessity to believe in God and should be discouraged otherwise we will be making assumptions about God based on our Leap of Faith rather than trying to use a modicum of our intellect.
If anybody knows about the H2O molecule or the Earths magnetic field then try to explain why these features are unique in our 'observed' world. Science and Religion belong together. We know s much about God as He reveals to us (either in doctrine or what we obsever albiet limited our observation is). |
quote: Well, that depends. A statement such as "I am me" needs an operational definition. What is "I," what is "me"? Well, if you think you have a quick and dirty answer to these questions, I'm sure there are plenty of philosophers who would disagree. There is nothing silly about this really. "Theory" means something different in common language than it does in science. "Fact" means something different in common language than it does in science. Vernacular--that's the way it works. |
?Disclaimer: I am not questioning the truth or value of religion in general, nor of Christianity in particular, just what I believe to be an intellectually bankrupt subset thereof. Furthermore, I would imagine that these same objections would apply equally well to Muslim fundamentalists. I just don't know much about the Qu'ran. Perhaps you should learn more about the Qur'an before making such a statement. The best source to learn about the Qur'an is the Qur'an itself and you should be able to pick an translation if you feel it necessary. However to assume such a thing based upon pre-cpnceptions to do with the Bible is not only wrong but foolish. |
underthumb - I dont have quick nor dirty answers. They are food for thought.
The FACT remains that we are living in a Paradox and when you get down to the dirty levels, who are we anyway? why do we not have absloute control, power, knowledge? what is our purpose? In answer to my last question - why, in science must we contradict our own theories? - because the theories (and us who make the theories) are imperfect springs to mind. (That is quick and dirty i suppose, but I digress) |
underthumb - why don't you read my posts as well.

Invisible Angel-
I have read your posts. What of it? I was simply inviting you to read the whole thread, as some of the things that you are discussing have already been gone over. That's all. quote: Some of these questions you (or someone else) invented. It doesn't mean that they are relevant, or that you (or anyone else) actually has an answer. But in science, we do not "contradict our own theories." (Not sure what you mean by this anyway). The earth, the universe--neither was "always here." And yes, the big bang most likely brought both about, in a sense. And your non-falsifiable questions, such as "what is nothingness?" "who made us?" do not matter to me. I just don't care. Oh, and the question "who made us" presumes that something made us, which is not necessarily so. [This message has been edited by underthumb (edited November 27, 1999).] |
Religion isn't dead, there are religious gatherings every sunday, and there doesn't seem to be a slowing trend, but here's a thought for everyone:
If you live your life according to the bible, so what, it doesn't ever tell you to do harm to you or anyone else and in the end, all is good. If you don't then you could go to hell. Most atheists study enough to defend their non-belief, as most believers study to defend their beliefs. Either way, read "A Divine Revelation of Hell" (by Mary K. Baxter), it's an awesome book and makes you think. Even if you don't believe the event, what if it were true? It's a quick read (like the Thrawn trilogy), so see if your local library has it and check it out. |
Oh I am sorry I understand this now. This is your thread and therefore your Forum and therefore I am addressing only you.
What I am working on doing is opening up the Forum to more than your views on what Religion or God says about Science and perhaps providing you with some text that could make you look at the fact that Religion and Science can benefit eah other If you do not want this then say so and I won't bother again. The text I will use ids the Qur'an God Willing |
Don't take this in an attacking manner, I simply am intrested in your answer to this question. I rad your paper on 'Mere Christianity' and about how sex is all about self-gratification, and not populating the Earth. I was just wondering how that takes into account the joy a mother and father feel when they bring a life into the world? Wouldn't it seem kinda silly to be excited about having another burden, if the whole process of creating it was merely for satisfaction? |
quote: Reproduction was/is useful because it carries on a species. Every species reproduces whether or not its members are aware of this. This is because the instinctual motivation is present, even if the cognizance to understand it is not. Also the 'joy a mother and father feel' has nothing to do with the unbridled urge to have sex. You are speaking of parenthood, which is the aftereffect of what I am speaking of. I believe you have misinterpreted me. Please re-read the relevant portions of my essay for clarification. |

quote: *Beats chest like a gorilla* Oh come now, IA, is that really what you think? I was responding to you. I am allowed to do that you know. I said nothing that would exclude anyone else from responding to you. quote: If you read this thread, you will notice quickly that the majority of comments are not my own. I'm certainly vocal, but I'm not the only one. Religion benefits science only so long as science says exactly what religion wants to hear. When that doesn't happen, however, heads role. You can bet that if science were to find something akin to replicable evidence of God, (No, that's not going to happen) Religious people would be extolling the virtues of science to no end. Since it doesn't, however, and even finds evidence reprehensible to some of the religious population (Evolution) then of course, science is mistaken at best, and a tool of Satan at worst.
quote: Are you kidding me? That's how science grows! That's what peer review is all about. If anything, scientists are too skeptical of one another. Your example: Relativity? This is an example of scientific dogma? This is not an easy theory to unseat, but believe it or not, tests are underway to bear this out. If it is wrong, it will be shown to be wrong. |
OK that was poor but I did not mean it like that. I meant I will try to address your later postings in reference to mine and why I believe some of your assertions are wrong. But please be patien this might take time. P.S. Did you read my email I sent you? |
I don't see how anyone could be Athiest. Even the smartest person on Earth would have to admit that they know about .0000000000000000000000000000001% of all things in the universe there is to know. It's pretty hard to say God doesn't exist when you really don't know crap. If you scientific logical thinkers out there really thought about it, it'd be to your benefit to believe in God. When you die and if you're right and God doesn't exist (for the sake of argument anyway) then so what. You'll just be reabsorbed into the soil. If you're wrong (which I believe you are) then you will spend eternity in hell. There really isn't much to lose believing in God. I know ppl in this forum will start saying that this is how all Christians think, they just want to be rewarded in death, and they are weak minded, and all they care about are themselves. However, I've seen ppl in this forum try to approach the agnostics in this forum through spiritual and factual means and you refuse to believe it, you have your own theories, or choose to ignore it. I'm trying to appeal to your logical side which is the only thing that hasn't been tried. So if the evolution theory holds true, and you guys are interested in the continuation of yourselves and your species through any means possible, then to do that you must believe that there is a God so your soul will live forever.

I was raised Catholic, but never fit that church or any other I have heard of. I consider myself Christian and I have a profound personal relationship with God, though I do not go to church and rarely every talk to anyone about my faith.
It seems there is a recurring theme of science vs. religion. I find this amusing. It should be science and religion - they are complimentary. I believe God created the universe, in a matter of days according to the bible. As far as I am concerned, God could have created the universe 5 minutes ago and it would affect nothing. I believe that God created an orderly and logical universe with a history going back billions of years. Science makes sense of the laws and truths underlying space, time and life itself. We use science to describe, understand, and manipulate God's creation. There is no conflict. Religion's greatest sectarian value is providing a common set of positive social beliefs. This is still a valuable function even in today's society. Religious groups actively work to protect and support community members. Most teach tolerance of other views. (for example, Islam teaches that Jews and Christians should be treated as brothers). The New Testament gives a pretty nice set of rules to live by - people should treat each other nicely and without judgement. I think few people sit down and read the New Testament - instead they are fed small, out of context pieces of it in church. Sadly, religion is often warped. There was a time when I believed Marx was right, that religion is the opiate of the masses. I still believe it is so for many people. I have talked to fundamentalists that insisted I must give up my will to the Lord. No. I'll keep my free will please. Some religious and political leaders pervert religious messages with fear and hatred to further their own causes and ambitions. These leaders have a great deal of control over their followers. Many such leaders exist in Christianity and Islam. It sickens me. As long as men can gain power through manipulating faith, religion will exist. Religion has enormous potential to do good. The misguided and hateful beliefs of certain religious groups (particularly some Christian and Islamic fundamentalist sects) have a good chance of wiping out humanity (warfare) or helping collapse the ecosystem (No birth control. The belief that man is given dominion over the beasts so by divine will man should use up all the planet's resources). Religion is not dead and will not die. The horror is how many people will die because of warped religion in the next 100 years. |
quote: And yet you know that God exists? It sounds as though 'God' means whatever you don't understand. I adhere to intellectual honesty, which means I don't accept ideas 'just in case they are true.' Especially when said ideas are not empirical, parsimonious, or falsifiable.
Slare: That's a pretty good summation of the particular form of Buddhism I practice; sometimes it's called a "life philosophy" instead of a religion. But even in its present philosophical form, it does have the trappings, cultural conventions and ritual of a religion. In a nutshell, we have an object of worship, gods and demons, and heaven and hell. However, it's the interpretation of these things that makes modern Buddhism different. One significant difference is that a Buddha is not a deity. A Buddha is a human that has become enlightened to the realities of life, not the fat happy guy everybody thinks of. Just like in Martial Arts, there are literally hundreds of different schools of Buddhism, some consider a Buddha a deity, some don't.
The object of worship is more of a focus point for meditation. It's an inscribed scroll with a "description" of life itself. It holds no mystical power, not is it a representation of a deity, it's more of a mirror of what's inside your "soul". Therefore, it's used for internal reflection, and to show appreciation to the things in life, tangible and intangible. Part of the ritual is to recite a liturgy, twice daily, (or when you can ) at an altar in each persons' home. Gods and demons are a holdover from earlier times, and were used to describe good and bad influences in ones life. Nowadays, they're just around for more cultural, descriptive or historical value, and not considered true gods or demons. It's kinda hard to explain, but think of it this way, however simplistic: if you were studying for school, and your teacher encouraged and helped you in every way, he/she would be considered a form of "protective god" or a good influence. If you had a friend who persistently tried to get you hooked on crack, he would be considered a "demon" or a bad influence. In both instances, they are people and things that can either benefit or harm you, the reponsibility to deal with either situation is up to the individual. The concepts of heaven and hell are also percieved very differently. Heaven and hell can be described as differing states of being here on Planet Earth, not separate places. Imagine getting mad props and a huge raise at work. The ecstatic feeling that you get, however intangible and fleeting, would be heavenly, that "I got mad props, I r00l!" feeling. If you go out the next day with that feeling, do the John Romero thang and buy a Ferrari, that would be pretty heavenly too. After you come down from your high and realise that you can't afford the insurance and maintenance on the thing, you would be in a state of hell, that "oh shit, what did I just do, I'm broke and hungry and I just got a raise" feeling. Where Buddhism comes into play is allowing a means to deal with both feelings. In this example, the best thing to do would be to reflect on your actions, learn from them, not repeat them, and sell the damn car. It's more common sense than anything else, wrapped in different words and language. Again, the responsibility to deal with the situation is up to the individual. That's what sets the perception of eastern and western conceptions of religions apart, personal responsibility of ones life and actions. We have no deity to get us out of a pickle, no one to pray to for help. Call it "my fault" insurance. We have no one that can absolve our karma or remove our "sins", a Buddha holds up his own lantern and pays his own way. We take our lumps as well as our props. What is worshipped as a god in western religion, we worship and respect the entire universe and everything in it, we just don't give it a name or persona, consequently, we are part of, and not separate from "god". When we show appreciation, we give props to everything, good and bad in our lives, as things that make us who we are. In these ways, you would be correct in saying that Buddhism is more of a philosophy than a religion. Now, I fully expect flames from some that believe that their religion is the "one true religion", but before you do, consider this: In no way have I stated that Judeo-Christian religions are bad or wrong, I have given a comparison in a respectful manner. Have some respect for other people's cultural. philosophical and religious ways of life before condemning them. |
I happen to believe in the bible and its contents to the point, that I practice keeping all 613 laws which are listed in its covers. I have questioned many things in the bible as my journey progresses. Certain things like how could someone record all this, when most of the time the text is coming from a 3rd person view, when that 3rd person wasnt even (or seemed like he wasnt even there when it happened) For example when the Messiah was praying and the other diciples fell asleep, who sat there and wrote down all the things he was praying/feeling? Well to be honest I cant anwser that, only thing I can say, is if the Creator had enuff power to make the world and all things in it, then i guess putting together a book full of ordained events wouldnt be that tough for Him. The other thing I dont understand is when people say "I dont want to live that law, it was done away with or I dont believe in the bible" What is the big problem with believing in the bible, do you realize every law has to do with how to treat your fellow man with love? Infact many of the laws in our society today are based on many laws in the bible. Do you know why? Cause they makes sense, they are just the way things should be. Did you know in the bible it says if you take a women and have pre-maritial sex with her, then you are obligated to marrry her and never divorce her? How much would that one simple little law help our society, with fatherless children and such? Or welfare? Anyway, I also believe that science isnt neccesarily a bad thing, it proves alot of what is in the scripture as being true many times. I read a sciene qoute once that stated "For Creation of the earth to be an accident (ie without some higher power design behind it) would be like a whirlwind coming upon a pile of junk and asseembling a 747". Its really kinda sad if you think about it, If their Truly is a Creator and the bible is His True word then alot of people are really missing out on a more aboundant life. Not to mention the peace it would bring to countries and nations. But I realize this is not going to happen without some intervention from on high. Man has lived on earth for who know's how long. Always coming back to the same place (problems), to the same questions and the same answers. I must say one thing in closing. I realize there are always going to be believers and non-believers, each group has their reason for why they believe or dont believe. Nobody has all the anwsers, and only time will tell who is right or wrong. Have any of you thought about how perfectly you are designed? We always talk about computers and such (they are pretty impressive arent they?) but have you thought about how prefectly your body is designed? Not 4 fingers and no Thumb? What good would 4 fingers due without the lowly thumb? A heart that pumps without cause? Lungs that breath effortlessly? Or how about the trees? they give off oxygen so we can breath, and we in turn give what they need? The sun that is just the right distance away as not destroy us, the moon to light the night? The animals, each one unique serving a special role, and what of all the millions of insects? Ya probably was all accident =( Shalom |
No. It means that I have found God in what I do know. Keep looking you'll find him. Or maybe you've found him, but you just can't believe that you have. Dustin |
I believe it was you that trotted out the old horse of Galileo's troubles with the Catholic Church as a prima facie example of why Religion and Science must be at loggerheads. My apologies if it wasn't you, or this was answered already. The fact is that Galileo's troubles are often mistakenly chocked up to a blind superstitious reaction to scientific truth. This make good rhetorical points in the crusade ( pun intended ) against religion; however, it is not really accurate. While it is true that Galileo was brought before the Office of the Inqusition in 1632, and sentenced to house arrest for the last 10 years of his life, and forced to recant his earlier position on copernicanism, a deeper ( read, more than superficial ) analysis reveals that his troubles were due, not so much to his views expressed in his paper, but rather to the reaction of a powerful and entrenched bureaucracy to his printed and published ridicule of them. The bone of contention, Galileo's Dialogue on the Two Great World Systems; was in fact reviewed by the Catholic Church prior to its publication and printed with its permission. So much for blind reaction... So why did the Cathlolic Church get APO'd, you ask??? Dialogue is written as a debate between three philosophers: Salvati, Sagredo, and Simplicito. Salvati is pushing Galileo's viewpoint, Sagredo is Salvati's sounding board, agreeing with his arguments, and Simplicito is a follower of Aristotle. After review by the Church censors, the required disclaimers were written in for Simplicito. Of course, the only argument he wins in the book, is the disclaimer. The kicker, is that in Latin, Simplicito is a well-known reviewer of Aristotle; however, in Italian Simplicito means "idiot". Galileo wrote Dialogue in Italian. Besides the fact that Latin was the scientific tongue, and Italian was the common-speak; which made publishing in Italian the equivalent of what Pons and Fleishmann did by publichins in the news media rather than in journals first...besides that, the unanticipated public reaction to the openly printed ridicule of the Official Church was what got Galileo into real trouble. Not just a blind reaction to scientific discovery. |
Hmmmm Do I think there is a thinking entity that existed before mass, time and space? Do I think this entity would have a hobbie of creating a planet that he could shake up once and awhile. Is this entity desiring worship much less worthy of it? I just do not think any of this could be true. Knowing that religion is not just of christian focus I will attempt to stick just to universal religious priciples. Creation,Judgement and Supernaturalism.
1. Why assume a creator would find us a good project to be proud of? This is just humanistic egocentrism thinking that we are such a perfect being that only a god(s) could create us. Give me a break! 95% water and 5% ego is all we are. You my friend are squishy and you break easy! M.I.T. is already working on creatures that will be much stronger and smarter than us. Im sure it could withstand extreme tempature fluctuations, know all spoken languages, walk straight thru chemical warfare battlegrounds, and not know what its like to be lazy. That is just the begining. I wonder if these entities will worship the silly folks that created them. I doubt it. 2. Judgement. Religious people say many times that without Judgement life has no meaning. I refuse to believe these days I am alive is nothing more than a application form to a elitist club. Why can't continuation and betterment of a species be a reason to live. If sex is not a reason to live then alot of people are gonna be bummed out. Judgement to me sounds like a man made control mechinism. Order in many primative societies can only be established via fear. Eternal Damnation sounds like a good fear establishment. That or is sounds like a Sadist God. 3. Supernaturalism. Oh just give me a break. I aint seen it unless I had some really good drugs. |
