I am a frisbeetarian. I believe that when I die my soul gets lost on the roof and I can't get down.

Good to learn you're not a tennis-shoetarian... your naked soul would end up hanging from a telephone wire for the whole neighborhood to see!

 

The closest I come to a supernatural encounter is the eerie disappearance and occasional reappearance of socks in my dryer.

Oh my... you have trolls hiding in your basement! That explains the high humidity and the missing socks!

 

I have no problem with the idea that intelligent design might (or might not) have been involved in the creation of our universe, just the alleged assertion that Kaku has some sort of mathematical proof that our universe WAS brought about by intelligent design.

The good professor's "string theory" plausibly answers the existing, well at the time of the announcement, questions arising from the big bang theory. By nature all theories are "beliefs", otherwise they would be scientific laws.

From www.m-w.com
Full Definition of theory

2: abstract thought : speculation
3: the general or abstract principles of a body of fact, a science, or an art <music theory>

b : an ideal or hypothetical set of facts, principles, or circumstances —often used in the phrase in theory <in theory, we have always advocated freedom for all>
5: a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena <the wave theory of light>

As far as his opinion of GOD

Since Einstein's beliefs were mentioned ...

In my own opine, I am a non-practicing Christian. I see God's work everywhere.

Isn't that called, pantheism?

 

Isn't that called, pantheism?

Well, I'm thinking I'm not, but I can see where it could be pantheism.

From Merrian-Webster
Definition of pantheism
1: a doctrine that equates God with the forces and laws of the universe
2: the worship of all gods of different creeds, cults, or peoples indifferently; also : toleration of worship of all gods (as at certain periods of the Roman empire)

I still believe in the teachings of the Christianity. I just don't go to the organized prayer meetings. I see God's handiwork in alot of places.

This describes me too. The politics of organized religion is not for me.

 

I think maybe those who profess Christianity today would say they don't belong to an "Organized Religion" and rightfully so. Freedom to worship and Freedom of Speech are very much at the core of why this society exists and why so many have fought and died to protect it. Once you become part of any organization that info goes to big data and dispersed. Personally I would like to remain outside those data banks.

I chose not to identify myself as Republican this year and will be independent, in spite of whom I may vote for but, unfortunately I might still be classified as Republican based on my voting decisions, but frankly I'm not happy either way.

Again, the length to which some scientists are willing to go to avoid the God Question never ceases to surprise me:

https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a36112655/universe-is-self-learning-algorithm/​

In fascinating new research, cosmologists explain the history of the universe as one of self-teaching, autodidactic algorithms. The scientists, including physicists from Brown University and the Flatiron Institute, say the universe has probed all the possible physical laws before landing on the ones we observe around us today. Could this wild idea help inform scientific research to come?

 

I just thank god I'm an Atheist!

 

It’d be nice if they made a prediction that might be tested somewhere in all those pages. Perhaps they did, but I have hunch not.
