      So, we have to understand something that doesn't exist scientifically to understand something scientific?

      Just more proof science is dead.

          But what does that mean? Personally I am cautious on that specific line of argument because it seems to follow discarding all things unproven, which isn't a terribly scientific approach, as to me, it would preclude many of the great leaps forward in scientific thought. It is difficult to deny in an argument that there are all sorts of things science hadn't shown to exist in the past, but now has. Many of them quite surprising. Quantum entanglement is bizarre, for example. Science is a long ways from explaining just how the universe works and many possible theories exist, a lot of them pretty wild...
          Here lies the spot where a fake story was linked to.
          Of course it's also entirely possible none of you exist and I am simply talking to myself, or vice versa, which sort of renders the whole point moot.

            Hawking has been so anti-ID and deeply atheist, I'm not sure what caused his change of mind. Science has explanations for what happens in the brain after we die. The electrochemical processes that take place can cause us to see things in our mind. He knows this.

              I don't know the full story of this, but given the source I am willing to bet this is cherry-picked, distorted, and wildly taken out of context.

              And with two minutes research... yeah.

              However the rumours are entirely false. There have been no verified reports that Stephen Hawking has made any claims. In fact in 2014 Hawking has announced that he is an atheist, and he does not believe in any god or “god-like force”.

              The story seems to have first appeared on World News Daily Report which is a popular fake news website which deals exclusively with starting rumours such as this.
              To be fair, it's not distorted. It's just made up.

              You've been pwned by a fake news site.

              ID is so spectacularly rationally bankrupt and intellectually insincere that nobody with two brain cells to rub together falls for it.

              Jesus, at least Area 51 cranks have a plausible hypothesis.

                Check again, I'm pretty sure that's a fake news site. Other headlines are suspect.

                  See below (above?). It's a fake news story that somebody here fell for.

                  Neurologists have fully explained the "light and the tunnel" phenomenon, just as they've explained that if you fast long enough you don't see God, you hallucinate because your brain is freaking out.

                  I wish theists were strong enough in their belief in the supernatural not to lie about this stuff. The whole point of the supernatural is the super part. God is a really cool human concept: something that is outside of time, space, and causality. That means God doesn't even interract with the natural world, otherwise He would be inside it. So next comes the invention of Christ -- God's drone in the natural world.

                  That's a beautiful and interesting hunk of human art. Don't gum it up with all this tawdry garbage and pseudo-scientific goo. Keep the mass in Latin and keep God in Heaven, you nincompoops.

                  It's a sad day when it takes an atheist to tell the theists that they're missing the whole f-cking ontology of their religion.

                    Not really though, because the supreme court has already ruled on this... The Republicans just chip away at it... laws requiring unnecessary vaginal ultrasounds, unnecessary hospital admitting privileges etc etc, you can see where their motivations lie.

                      Thanks. Yikes. How does this stuff make it to the top of search results? I just was looking up some sciency stuff on quantum mechanics and that was in the results so I added as a surprising afterthought. It only even seemed somewhat feasible because Hawking has changed his mind on other things from time to time. mea culpa.

                              Still won't go anywhere until Kennedy, RBG, or Breyer leaves.

                              Roe is definitely safe until then, and potentially past then since I'd wager even Roberts would blanch at a blanket repeal.

                              The only solid votes for repealing are Thomas and Alito, and presumably Trump's replacement for Scalia.

                                I don't look at it quite that way. I think the only person who knows for sure is God and since nobody here is him/her I think it's very presumptuous to think we are By assuming we know the answer and shoving our version of religion onto someone else.
