Cherry-picked again. Didn't reply some statements.

Let me rewind that

The ability to rewind the time.


wiegraf:
Did you even stop to ponder why it's called the Higgs [size=14pt]BOSON[/size]?

http://www.livescience.com/27888-newfound-particle-is-higgs.html

I recall saying I don't know about Higgs' boson. If you think it explains the event I point to by all means shoot. Just don't say "Higgs-Boson-did-it".

wiegraf:
Cool. So its not been fully ascertained, but it looks very likely and the predictions seem in order.

Ah! What say you? They've not been observed yet? Still complaining about how bosons are hypothetical magical particles? Perhaps you think your less magical god in all its immaterial, baseless complexity is more likely than the 'magical' bosons.

Just as likely will suffice. More magical than boson, yes. But my 2 cents on magic is that it is necessarily tied to the physical, in that sense, it isn't magic as such.

wiegraf:
Ok, ok, to settle this, what about other bosons? Like say photons. Wait?! Those photons used in just about every electronic device?!

Photons I know. So how do they sustain the planet in space, and make them move ? I'm expecting a process.


wiegraf:
I guess your computer runs on magic then. Exactly what sort of engineer are you planning to be btw?

I see someone being wilfully ignorant. Just go to how stuff works and see the processes behind making and working a system. 'Bosons-did-it' explains nothing. How they did is what's at stake.

wiegraf:
Btw, you do know gravity is responsible for orbits, so wtf are you on about? Gravity and all the forces are powered by spirit-power?
............................

^^^In before you try to claim you speak only of the graviton - you weren't

How does gravity account for their movement. I could say God is responsible as well, you ain't given no explanation. Just invoked a term_and viola !_planets move because of it.

wiegraf:


^^^ Sums it up brilliantly. Willfully blind/ignorant just because you want to squeeze GOD!! into it. More likely just foo.lish though.

Not a creationist, try again. Though, of course, majority of scientists and the lay-men who grovel before evolution hardly see the patent magic involved in life self-organizing and diversifying from certain 'plausible' physical events. Nothing less than a fairy tale dressed up in science-speak - does the work well too.

wiegraf:

^^^Sums up the post, and it's some of the finest I've ever seen

Sums up my thoughts.




wiegraf:
Ok, I don't think you could sink any lower (unless you can pull off some miracle), so this time I'm probably gone for good. Kudos for now.

Okay.

Correction: artificial selection and microevolution have been observed. I glossed over that bit. The rest of course, scientific hogwash.
