God's an asshole. He could prevent miscarriages, but instead lets it happen.
What a buthurt supreme fedora tipper
Is today 4Chan buzzword day?
If he can prevent miscarriages, but doesn't, that makes him a twat.
Somebody doesn't have the comprehension to read my explanation. Death=/=bad. Jesus sacrificed himself to save ALL life. A fetus IS a life and therefor it is saved. The child gets a one-way ticket to Heaven where they don't have to experience hostile human nature in life. Probably the best thing that can happen to a person
So if you and all your family were to die tomorrow, it'd be the best thing that could ever happen to you and them?

That's just straight fucked up logic you've got there. I hope all religious people aren't this deranged.
You seriously have a reading comprehension issue I can see. Do you have down-syndrome or something?

I said a miscarriage is the best thing because the child goes to Heaven. It won't have to live a life experiencing what human nature is. Where the hell did I even bring up me and my family? Lol, you're seriously pathetic
I don't even...
 A child dying before birth is a terrible thing to happen and absolutely isn't better than it never having the chance to live.
You're seriously fucking deranged if you think a miscarriage is a good thing to happen at all, and I hope nobody else is as mentally backwards as you.
If you got your wife/girlfriend pregnant, would you be happy if she were to have a miscarriage?
To both you and Kinder, take the word miscarriage and replace it w/ abortion.
That's different because it's murder.
According to Kinder's reasoning it's still the best thing for the child, they go to heaven w/o having to experience bad shit.

In fact, allow me to apply some fucked up utilitarian logic to this situation. If Kinder's logic is to be believed then we should be conceiving and aborting in insane numbers because this would only increase the number of souls in heaven and therefor the total amount of wellbeing/happiness. After which we could all just pray for forgiveness on our deathbeds.
God is all forgiving, yes, but he's also all merciful. A mass murderer can't just say 'I'm sorry' at the very end of his life and expect to go to Heaven. And yes, an aborted baby does go to Heaven, and that's a good thing, but it's not the best thing. As a religious scientist, you can simply work out most of these issues in your head. Really, it's not that hard for anyone else claiming to be a scientist or engineer to do.
First of all, I never claimed to be a scientist or engineer, I'm working on it but I've got a long way to go.

>all forgiving
>all merciful

It's these sort of absolute statements that cause anything you people believe to be hopelessly contradictory.

Did I not say I was going by Kinder's logic? He said and I quote

The bottom line is that you're not going to understand God until you first believe in him, hence why you'll die an atheist and never go to Heaven. I'll pray for you, but that only goes so far.
"You must believe in it for it to work."

Words uttered by every snake oil salesman and charlatan ever. Forgive me if I'm entirely unconvinced or impressed.
If God isn't real then what made the universe?
I DON'T KNOW! I don't know if we ever will.

And I'm perfectly fine w/ that fact. That doesn't mean I don't want to find out and that doesn't mean I don't think we have a decent idea of where to start.

Pls stop rusing me.

Foreskin removal is only required for Judaism. Circumcision is a sacrifice of flesh that honors the covenant between God and Abraham. God gives men foreskin as a way to complete this sacrifice

Except God loves unconditionally. Where are you getting otherwise? A book that has gone through many translations and adaptations over time? GG no re

Look above. God isn't forcing people to use their free will in certain manners. If he did then he wouldn't have created the forbidden fruit or banish Lucifer to Hell. He only did so because in situations were people are tempted by another, then they can truly show their devotion by picking the righteous path, being God

You realize that 80% of life lives in the ocean, right? Without saltwater then a large population of Earth's living creatures wouldn't exist. There's this thing called logic and science; use it

Plenty of smart people believe in God. But it's the idea of free will that people don't believe. Ever hear about a guy called Grego Mendel? Yeah, he was apparently some guy that was a Christian and discoved the modern science of genetics

And going to copy and paste because I'm lazy to type:
God does not take away our loved ones from us as some sort of cruel punishment. The Bible tells us that there is “no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus”. Miscarriages are usually caused by abnormal chromosome patterns in the fetus. When these abnormalities are detected, the growth is halted, and miscarriage is the result. In other instances, miscarriages are caused by uterine malformations, hormonal abnormalities, problems with the immune system, chronic infections, and illnesses.God has compassion on those who have suffered through them. He cries and suffers with us, simply because He loves us and feels our pain. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, promised to send His Spirit to all believers so that we will never have to go through trials alone (John 14:16). Jesus said in Matthew 28:20, “And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Any believer who has suffered a miscarriage should have faith in the glorious hope of one day seeing her child again. An unborn child is not only a fetus or a “piece of tissue” to God, but is one of His children. Jeremiah 1:5 says that God knows us while we are still in the womb. Lamentations 3:33 tells us that God “does not enjoy hurting people or causing them sorrow.” Jesus promised to leave us with a gift of peace unlike any that the world can give (John 14:27).

Continue with your stupidity

Those who are seriously interested in artificial intelligence, and not just in the trendy pop-sci mindset afflicting society, should check out the work of Douglas Hofstadter, particular the book Gödel, Escher, Bach. A lot will go over your head, and that's okay, but he is an absolutely brilliant writer that manages to cleverly explain difficult concepts without taking away from the academic weight of his statements.

Thanks, I'm going to check it out.

Just a warning: it takes a couple hundred pages for him to actually get into artificial intelligence, but everything before it is necessary background info, and it's still really entertaining and informative.

The first part of the book was great though. He details logical puzzles in ways that even laymen can understand!

And maybe someday I'll be able to understand the entire book XD

For quantum effects to govern memory, or anything mental really, aspects of the brain would have to behave quantum mechanically. A brain, hell even a neuron, quantum mechanically speaking is a very large system and(as far as we know) barring extremely low temperatures(fractions of a degree above absolute zero) large quantum systems tend to approximate classical systems, meaning quantum effects shouldn't play a role unless we are missing something insane.

OP you may be interested in Roger Penrose's quantum mind theory. Absolutely no experimental support for it, theoretical objections are similar to the one I raised but I thought I'd just throw it at you.
I wouldn't necessarily say that we're dealing with macroscopic quantum phenomena. In fact the point is that the quantum behavior is not obvious enough for us notice it. Could it not be possible that this particular function of the brain is partitioned off from the rest of the system, or at least confines its interaction with the rest of the system to a very small degree?
I did add in the neuron bit as well, which would make it microscopic but I see your point. How do you suppose it's partitioned? It would have to be partitioned in such a way to keep what causes quantum states in a brain to decohere(namely, interaction w/ other quantum states), from causing it to also. That would imply that the quantum systems of the rest of the brain shouldn't be able to interact at all with whatever has been partitioned. What I was getting at was that when a quantum system approximates a classical one(decoheres) the quantum behavior of the individual smaller systems tends to be cancelled out on average and tends towards classical behavior on the whole. This would seem to indicate that whatever quantum behavior that is "too small for us to notice" would be too drowned out by classical noise to be useful for anything.
