This is what someone would have said a century ago about flying at 3.0 machThis sounds quiet crazy, funny and interesting..

IMO, this concept would be great, if science could achieve keeping humans young ever with all natural vigor and vitality. Otherwise, I don't think any one would opt to be alive during the ripe old age.
If at all people still prefer to be alive as old folks, with all the technological apparatus, I believe, all such immortal humans would be nothing more than Robots.

The article makes amusing reading. It shows how funny one can sound when not well grounded in the basic understanding of reality. At least there is one good thing that can come out of this: the bright chance that the western people will come out enlightened.
1) Actaully the article makes interesting reading
2) Actually what is the basic understanding of reality you are talking about here. Is it right for me to assume that you have this basic understanding of reality
3) Is there anything about western people here in this article Do I see a hint of stereotyping here
Here is some critisism on him Biologist P. Z. Myers Kurzweil's predictions as being based on "New Age spiritualism" rather than science and says that Kurzweil does not understand basic biology Please refer : Ray Kurzweil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1) Very obviously they do not like “observance” which is the act or practice of observing or complying with a law, custom, command, or rule. This actually makes it dogmatic and unquestionable. How can an atheist find common ground in dogmatic rigidity of religion which is the rule
2) Actually visibility is not necessary for proving a hypothesis (Bohrs's or for that matter Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar’s) In fact air is not visible but it does exist one can sense it by other means, in the context of Chandrasekhar’s you can never see a black hole as even light does not escape from it
3) Is the sage right he is demanding visible proof and may not accept any other proof
4) Actually they are in a very different situation
5) To say “need to experience” to experience what? At least in the case of sage there is a clear cut Physics you have mentioned. The sage needs just some good contemporary theoretical physics exposure, probably a tour to CERN ( Large Hadron Collider). But the Atheist needs something very vague like “experience”
6) Difficult to agree with this- change in thoughts and perception arising from observations is what drives science.

once death is conquered, will there be a need for God?
This is GOD!
If you are theist - close this thread - I am angry at Brahin for starting this and tired of your Me-awful posts!
If you are atheist - I am going to disappear since I cant take your posts anymore!
Grow up, Me-Damn people
Are you sure it is that the westerners only have gone on with technological advancements. What about Japan- they are in the East. Can you think of any thing (technological advancements) that has helped Humans
3) Western people are going crazy over technological advancements. They have, with technological advancements, established and devastated. The attack on Hiroshima & Nagasaki is the paradigm of technical devastation by Westerners. Humans gonna survive better by technology and gonna destroy themselves by technology. Gonna say "We are God" and gonna collapse to ashes under the rule of the nature.

Actually I mean that there need not be a visible proof for everything and whats more it is not “accepted as existing force” it is matter and its composition is known. But it is not the case with GodYou yourself agree that AIR can not be a visible proof but need to be accepted as existing force. The same is the power of the Supreme God.
Do you mean we have to come out of rational thinking to experience God. Rationality is not equal to “believing only technology”To experience GOD, come out of your rational thinking that is believing only technology.
How sure you are about this. Are you sure that animals don’t have any thoughts rational or not. Do we know what animals think.Don't forget that only humans are blessed to have rational thoughts to identify science/technology and the reality of the rule of the nature/GOD
I have tried my best in the earlier postarun, i found it quite difficult to comprehend and make a coherent understanding of your posts, since it was posted with too much of quotes and questions. let me repost the same, and will try to address it as a passage to you.
the whole of our discussion comes to one single point. what is the common methodology one should adopt to show his proof to another.. be it maths/science/philosophy. here i avoid the world religion, and keep it under the shadows of philosophy.
lets say,
how would neil bohr explain and make understand his discovery on physics, to a common illiterate sage/ Aristotle the philosopher/ charles darwin (biologist), where all these three individuals are masters in their own subject, but poles apart from each other?
before posting your response, kindly collaborate it with your earlier post, and the questions you posed to me. this will help us to exchange in a meaningful thoughts exchange.
You are spot on here

Ravi you wrote:
I feel Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a tit for tat for Pearl Harbour.
During Japanese occupation in Malaysia they tortured enough people and used to use babies as target practise for their sharp instruments and beheaded so many people for nothing at all.
Some of their torture still haunts many here in Malaysia.
Actually is the west only to be blamed -During World War Two, Japan used chemical weapons during the Second Sino-Japanese WarI said Westerners show caused the devastating impacts of Technology.
Technology, science and rationality are not the sameI was highlighting clearly the benefic and negative impacts of Technology that's emerging out of human's rational brains, that want to believe only technology and not GOD...
1) Actually is the west only to be blamed -During World War Two, Japan used chemical weapons during the Second Sino-Japanese War
2) Technology, science and rationality are not the same
In the invention of wheel was a great technological innovation it was done before most religions evolved
Actually that is what I wanted to know if you had anything against the westerners. Now I am clear as you have said "It has nothing to do with exclusive blames on westerners"1) Mine was just a paradigm of technological devastation. It has nothing to do with exclusive blames on westerners.
Can it not be said other way round - Existence of rational thinking gave rise to technology2) Existence of Technology and Science is the very reason of Rational Brains. This same rational brain has paved the way towards Theism. Just because, today we could see possibilities of many out dated impossibilities with the help of science and technology, does not withstand the Atheists claims today that, the concept of GOD is paradoxical.

Is the above statement decisive in every way. I mean "does not withstand the Atheists claims today that" is conclusive, implying that the discussion is closed

Firstly it is theoritcal physics these hypothesis and others are prooved mathematically and physically discerned or detected again as I said visibility is not the only way to prove things in science. The proof of these hypothesis is contested with peers, reviewed and refereed and most importantly tested for repeatability and only then it is accepted in science.arun, may be one of us is having a comprehending problem !
for eg, every child in the 8th std strongly agrees with bohrs model, though none of them has seen it, without any strong proof. how that happened?
It is not that hard if all of them are open to learning and questioning (like I said get them on a tour to CERN) put them on a short course of theoretical physics -also please refer to the sites I had linked on the CERN site which is developing a microscope to view atoms. Involve them in active discussion and questioning sessions (I mean encourage them to question). In fact encourage them even to see if they can improve upon the concept. Here in fact the person trying to prove the point will also learn.how would neil bohr explain and make understand his discovery on physics, to a common illiterate sage/ Aristotle the philosopher/ charles darwin (biologist), where all these three individuals are masters in their own subject, but poles apart from each other?
