Hi guys,
I'm trying to find out about parking for students at ANU as I'm thinking about bringing a car when I start uni next month.
I'll be living in a college (not sure which yet as I'm still waiting for the offer) and I know some have their own carparks for students. I'm assuming getting...
I agree, there are a lot of issues which are far more important.
Which is why we should just get on with it, allow gay people to marry and then deal with bigger problems facing the country. Why are we wasting our time arguing about whether people deserve equal rights or not?
Recently I found out about an app for the London Underground which provides you with information about which door of the train to board, so that when you get off the train your exit/interchange is right in front of you: http://www.tubeexits.co.uk
It has been very successful in London, and...
If it can't be explained through science, that doesn't make "faith" any more reasonable. Consciousness is a subject which baffles scientists, but that doesn't make the explanation of "God did it" correct. One of the best things about science is that you can say "I don't know, but let's try to...
Science is "the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment." In other words, science is not a "thing", it is a process by which we find out what is true and what is not...
You are certainly right. It is stupid to say with certainty that "God does not exist", because to do so would require that you prove that there is not even the slightest possibility at all of the existence of any God. I would say that is pretty much impossible.
However, it is not illogical to...
I don't believe in God. It would take a lot to convince me that he exists, but I am open to that possibility (in the same way I am open to the possibility of the existence of the tooth fairy).
It would also take a lot to convince me that if there is a God, that he is good and that he cares at...
Re: Death penalty case: Sydney man Peter Gardner to face Guangzhou court over drug ch
Why did you bump something that had only been inactive for 13 hours?
There are a lot of people saying really stupid things about this topic (not necessarily on BOS, just in general).
A lot of people make the simultaneous claims that a) the death penalty deters criminals and b) the Bali Nine knew what the punishment for their crimes was so they deserve to be...
If we ignore the fact that the death penalty doesn't even work (it doesn't deter possible criminals), I still don't see how executing people somehow solves the issue of drugs killing people. Two wrongs don't make a right here.
Someone made the analogy of a gun dealer not being responsible...
Also, I have to say that this thread has made me lose faith in humanity again (as things like this on the Internet often do).
The level of anti-Muslim sentiment in this country is becoming a real concern. I don't understand what your problem is if you think normal people who just happen to have...
I find it funny how you say this and then spend the rest of your post trying to get out of the consequences of doing so, using "higher dimensions" (which you seem to have made up and then simply asserted the properties of).
In any case, using God as the explanation for the existence of the...
Oh it's "unaustralian" you say... end of debate then. What does that even mean? I'm not sure whether you're in a position to say what is or isn't Australian when you think Australia is a Christian nation...
