    The Diet Wars: Low Carb or Low Fat

    There's clearly a link woth overeating and weight gain. When looking at each macro nutrient it is easy to see which is the most calorie dense. Proteins and carbohydrates are each at 4 kcal/ gram and fats are at 9 kcal/ gram. The old saying it's all about calories in vs calories out. Anyone can...

    Miraculous medium-healers of Brazil

    I found a book similar to the cases presented throughout the thread, except this time the individual was in the UK. Much of the same themes are present in this case as with the other "psychic surgeons" mentioned throughout the thread...

    Beyond God?

    Agreed, if God is eternal the concept of "first being" does not apply. God would be the ultimate/ source of being. But definitely agree with you.

    Science and demonic posession

    Here's an interesting article regarding possession. Dr Neil Martin of UCLA Medical Center was shown a video of an alleged possession and this was his response: "It doesn’t look like schizophrenia or epilepsy,” he said. “It could be delirium, an agitated disconnection from normal behavior. But...

    I see the point.....but that's like saying if I ate a damn good turkey sandwich today that it wouldn't be just as good if I had the same turkey sandwich 10, 20, 1000 years from now.

    How can one even grasp the term forever, eternal, infinite? I think we are very limited in understanding to these concepts. I don't even understand what it would mean for something to have no beginning and no ending. When thinking about these concepts for me it's like a dog trying to...

    Beyond God?

    I think it comes down to semantics. "God" is a word that has a different meaning to different people. My definition/ conception of God happens to be the greatest possible being, there is no explanation beyond.

    Beyond God?

    But that's exactly what I'm saying, whatever God is there cannot be anything beyond god, because if there were anything beyond that God whatever is beyond would now be God. God is the greatest possible being, the boss of all bosses, the big cheese, etc.

    Beyond God?

    I don't think that's how it works...there cannot be anything beyond. Even though I can't fully conceive of what God is, by definition there cannot be anything beyond her/him/them.

    Beyond God?

    By definition God is the greatest possible being, there is nothing beyond. If there anything beyond the given God that being is no longer God.

    Challenge to materialist atheist accepted

    What is "forever" really? I honestly believe our notion of time isn't the whole picture of what time really is. I don't even think we can fully understand concepts like "forever" or "eternity".....if there is an afterlife maybe time is nonexistent or altered in some way incomprehensible to us in...
