Why complicate things if it isn't necessary? Why hack to pieces the whole of creation, indeed to where it's longer recognizable, and then have the audacity to insist, "Where is God now?"
This is exactly what science tries NOT to do. Occham's Razor? Parsimony? Ever heard of them?Science gets complicated because it IS necessary.
So what? Give me the apples instead!
Again, my examples went over your head. The apples are simple because it is a simple interaction. Nuclear physics is complicated because it is a complex interaction. Dismissing it as unnecessary because you do not understand it is textbook Argument from Ignorance.
And why would I need it to explain something which is a complete waste of resources? There is nothing about it which is necessary here.
and
The point being that numerology may be useless for what otherwise might be deemed a useless endeavor? There are lots of people who don't agree with the "usefulness" of nuclear power by the way.
I think you have a gross misunderstanding of what a nuclear breeder reactor is, if you think it is a waste of resources. However, your ignorance of physics is not the topic of the thread. The fact that these statements are a straw man and a non-sequitor, is.
I have asked you to explain how numerology would explain a nuclear reaction that is occuring right this minute, simultaneously, at multiple different locations around the world. That is all. Not if you agreed with the use of Uranium as fuel, not if you agreed that nuclear power is a clean alternative to coal. Not if you agreed that nuclear power was "useful."
Only to show if your methods could explain how the process worked, more simply and efficiently than the complex math used by nuclear physicists.
Argue all you want about "usefulness," I don't care. The nuclear energy cycle exists, is explainable by science, is actually CURRENTLY HAPPENING, yet you cannot explain it.
Would it have helped if, instead, I broke down something "natural" and "useful" like the perpetual fusion reaction of the sun that sustains all life on the surface of the Earth? Or would you dodge with yet another logical fallacy?
The number was already there, as was the symbolism, through the vision I had.
This is, again, exactly my point. You started out with two numbers: A beginning and an end. It doesn't matter where the numbers came from, just that you had a preconceived notion that they were related (Hmmm it's the same number on both the badge in real life, and the badge in the "vision," I wonder how you could have possibly decided they were related?) You then stuck 4, 7, and 9 in simple geometric shapes, put the numbers counting to 10 around them (including 4 twice for no apparent or even explained reason), and called it "The Ten Commandments."
Then you made 479 = "Dennis" by arbitrarily dropping the 7, arbitrarily choosing greek, and arbitrarily assigning values to 4 and 9, to get... well, gibberish in greek, but it's no problem since you then arbitrarily flipfloped it back to English to get what you wanted.
The fact that you were successful shows you can do creative arithmetic. Congratulations. You've achieved roughly the same stellar insight as a 3rd grader playing with a calculator, who discovers that the number 35009 spells "GOOSE" when you turn the thing upside-down.
I don't know? If I had a vision about it, perhaps I could?
How does the "vision" count into it? The "vision" simply has your work badge on a string going to the top of a pyramid.
The numerology you perform is on the work badge NUMBER, not the vision. Here, I'll do the work for you:
Your number: 479
My number: 229
Next, you put a whole bunch of pictures together, do completely arbitrary math, then IGNORE THE RESULTS (so I'm just going to skip those steps), and focus on this:
By the way in Greek, the letter Delta is the 4th, and the word "Ennis" means the 9th. All of which corresponds to the name "Dennis" which, happens to be my first name
479: toss out the 7.
4 = Delta
9 = Ennis
Delta+Ennis = Dennis
The same, exact operations for my work badge number:
229: toss out the middle "2":
2 = Beta
9 = Ennis
Beta+Ennis = Bennis
Well, sir, my name is certainly not Bennis. Do you want me to see if Upchurch will drop by to verify?
On the other hand, the Sciences use math to explain how things work. If I know my mass, and my acceleration, I can tell you how much force is behind my movement. The equation works for anyone of any mass, of any force or acceleration. It works, and it works every single time.
Hurray!
Truly, Hurray! Science can do the same operations multiple times on different variables and get the correct answer. Numerology cannot. Hurray for Science, indeed!
And what about all the enviromental hazards we generate in the process, strictly because we live in a "material world" and everbody's got to have all these things?
Yet another logical flaw. I'm only showing science has created the things that allow you to live your comfortable, modern life, and pointing out that numerology cannot do the same thing.
You retort about environmental hazards. This is a Tautology. You didn't want to create anything with numerology anyway, right? It might hurt the environment? Yeah... that's the ticket... Numerology CAN, it's just that numerologists want to live solely on 14th century technology?
I think you've given "yourself" a little too much credit here.
Says the guy who trumpets loudly and repeatedly about his awesome, mind-blowing revelation that he can make 479 = "Dennis" and 1,2,3,4,4(woops),5,6,7,8,9 = "The Ten Commandments"
What is faith, if not a system of beliefs?
While let me ask you this, do you have a lot of "faith" in what science can do with nuclear power?
The fact that the Cordova, Illinois Nuclear Power Plant provides my area with energy, and every single day when I flip the light-switch on, the lights DO turn on, is not a matter of faith. It's reality.
I'll take nuclear-powered lightbulbs over faith-power lightbulbs any day of the week.
