Excellent news.
Dark energy is so intangible that it was first observed only fifteen years ago. The history of science is littered with examples of the intangible made tangible. So what of it if neuroscience is young and hasn’t yet got round to making thoughts tangible?
Non sequitur. It’s not at all obvious how any explanation can rule out God. If you’re afeared that Ms Science, elegant as she is, will make God disappear, well that can’t happen can it? Mind you, it could make wrong understandings of God fade away, since as Catholics tell me, truth can’t contradict truth.
How very New Age.
I’ve seen experimental work somewhere which indicates that the conscious mind is only aware of decisions it thinks it is making after the decisions have already been made by the subconscious mind. It was nowhere near conclusive, further work is needed. I’ll cite it when I remember where it was.
I think art and music can talk to us in this area, but philosophy has nothing more to say than science.
Wonderful! That must have lifted a great weight.

Very cool! I’ll take a look at it!
I am not sure where you got that information, but we still have not actually observed dark energy. I am not sure that we can really observe it since it is a characteristic of space (not ‘outer space’ but space-time). We can, however, observe the effects of dark energy.
**t[sub]0[/sub] refers to now
The studies you have cited here are about the brain guessing or predicting the outcome of a decision in advance to the decision actually being made:
It does not imply that thought actually originates within the brain. I don’t think this is within the realm of neuroscience to prove. Neuroscience proves that our brains process our thoughts and are responsible for the processing of information. It can also prove what parts of the brain react to certain stimuli. However, thoughts themselves cannot be detected by neuroscience.
You treat nature as a rational being here. “Internal control mechanisms” implies someone or something designing them. You’re a pantheist, I’m not surprised. But this I also find in numerous arguments with atheists: they effectively think of nature as a rational being. Everyone is always hearing phrases like: “Nature gave birds feathers.” “Alligators have a special nerve designed to convey signals of water vibration to their brains.” As if the minds of all of us (theists, atheists and pantheists alike) can’t really imagine a world without a rational origin. As far as I am concerned, I can’t, and in my early twenties I tried hard. I was never convinced by the irrational origin of all there is.
Thanks for pointing it out, that was sloppy. I meant the effects, that was my whole point of using dark energy as an example.
You’ve never tangibly felt the presence of God?
Tilting a windmills bro unless you can name any scientists who are producing physical explanations of God.
)Have you looked up these people
Nope. Guess it wasn’t a good source, eh?Have you looked up these people
The Institue of Heart Math
Can you find any credible scientifically peer reviewed papers by them

In my mind that also suggests that science and our faith as taught by Christ, the apostles, church fathers and doctors of the church should not conflict. In other words the Blessed Trinity created the universe and us from nothing and knows all the laws that were set in motion and all the events that occurrred. - These laws and events should not conflict with our scientific observations coming from field and laboratory research. I mention the Holy Trinity because that feast day was celebrated this past Sunday, June 3.
Science does not provide any evidence for the crazy idea that dinosaurs and people co-existed.In my mind that also suggests that science and our faith as taught by Christ, the apostles, church fathers and doctors of the church should not conflict.

Since the Holy Trinity created all life forms we should find evidence of their existence in the fossil record in what science calls the geologic column. And since Christ and the doctors of the church agree that there was a massive flood that wiped all who walked on the earth what then does man actually observe and what is the most accurate calculated time-line with which intelligent man can determine?
Of course there will be some that will disagree like Richard Dawkins et al. but it is very interesting to note that there are now three major concordant observations regarding the example of dinosaurs that allegedly became extinct 65 million years ago:
(1) There are “distinct” dinosaur depictions in almost every major nation of the world on mosaics, rocks, rock formations, buildings etc. Since most of these “dragons” of the past alias “dinosaurs of the present” (as of 1841) are distinct like we see in museums and books of today the most logical conclusion is that artistic men of the past saw some dinosaurs that were alive as St. Damacene pointed out in his eighth century AD discussions of “dragons” that were alive in his day [search the Internet for his article] - also

(2) There are “pristine” fossil human and dinosaur footprints discovered during many excavations along the Paluxy River in Texas. Of course that has been a major controversy for 30 some years but within the past 3-4 years, four or five of the discovered footprints and one hand print have been validated by CT-scans - meaning the original mud, now rock was compressed or densified under the footprint impressions - Validation of fossil human footprints with dinosaurs ianjuby.org/delk/
(3) Now along comes a new time-line: Direct C-14 dating of dinosaur bones from Texas to Alaska, even China and Europe have confirmed dinosaur bones are 2000 times younger than what dating of the rocks by Lyellian assumptions and radiometric dating claim. They are only 1000’s of years old, not 65 to 225 million. sciencevsevolution.org/Holzschuh.htm for example
So what’s the point? Reality is when Christ, his church, metaphysics and true scientific observations come together to proclaim “reality.” All the church fathers and doctors agree with Christ and His Word. Modern scientific observations in just this one area on dinosaurs alone agree with the Church. And there are many more scientific disciplines in the study of sedimentology, genetics, population equations that are in agreement with our Church that are NOT of a speculative nature.
I’m sorry friend but you are living in a state of absolute denial. Christ did not teach mythology nor did the doctors of the church for almost 2000 years. Adam and Peter have to be wondering where you came from. You give yourself away when you start using the “C” word, a last resort for those who can not tolerate “Truth in Science.”
