At this point in time, I really like this metaphor of the bicycle to explain the real power of the GOD of nature that obviously exists that makes real human miracles possible.

Yes, it's amazing that humans learn to ride bicycles, and yes it's' amazing that a non-verbal autistic child like me, eventually becomes commonly known as a customer service expert; one of the strongest human beings in a military gym; yes at age 54 even with the lowest levels of testosterone at 181 of a 75 year old man, measured in the doctor's office recently; yes, lifting 720 Lbs. with my legs that I can prove with photos if necessary, as well as recognized as the best and most innovative dancer at age 54 in one of the top 100 clubs for dancing for college age folks in the entire United states, just after 6 months of practice, after being totally and permanently disabled 6 months before that, not even able to go into a Whataburger for 15 minutes. Yes, all of this can be evidenced and verified with a few phone calls too.

And also recognized as a Kung Fu expert by a Kung Fu expert, but I never had a lesson; it's just my latest special interest to learn as autodidact too, that I do publicly at my military gym that also can be evidenced with a phone call too.

Oh and yes, I've done something in the last year, that as far as I know no one else has done, dance walking in a martial arts style including reverse style TAI CHI like walking in public stores for 2000 miles now, in just one year, also documented by Nike GPS Sports watch, even by GPS maps on the Internet by USB connection of that watch.

And the fact that I retired from the US government as Athletic Director, after being the last kid picked on sports teams as always the epitome of nerd in school, is like a real life human miracle too.

Okay, folks I am evidence for GOD but not the magic man in the sky. The real GOD of nature that allows humans to do things that seems to defy the laws of nature.

Well a few of the laws of nature: Will, belief, faith, and hope, and yes this quality described as fearless sacred love, cannot be quantified by science; kind of like the difficulty in explaining how humans ride bikes; but never the less, it can be documented and reasonably described as a higher power of this natural GOD, that all of us must have access to, as hell no, I don't think I'm special.

The difference is my mother didn't have time to teach me limitations or expectations for my life as a hard working single mother, and basically my distant father living in another city, just didn't care to or couldn't do it for whatever reason. And when the kids told me I was this or that in school, I said f** it I don't believe you, nor did I understand what the slang meant, so that probably helped too. Google might have brought me down then, if I could type the words in to find the definitions.

Ah, the secret, not really secret of science of all of animal nature comes out as proven true, once again.

Adapt and survive; don't adapt and don't survive.

Folks this was the real man Yeshua now known as Jesus' core message.

He was truly a scientist at core of being. He observed nature, as indicated in the older sacred texts that do exist if anything of his words can be taken from it, just to let folks know that will, belief, faith and hope are real life natural miracle makers. For example, the claim that circumcision is not necessary since folks come that way with human nature from birth per his seemingly classical pantheist views.

And yes again, my personal life is documented evidence of it, and of course I am far from being the only one. I'm just proficient at being a scribe by documenting evidence as the scientist I still am naturally, as a human being detail thinker; rote memory enhanced observer of all things natural, with my hyperlexic mind.

Again, the only that sets me apart, is I know there is a real natural science whether or not science currently has the ability to quantify the mechanisms of Will, belief, faith and hope or not. If I waited on science to make me a believer I would not nearly be who I am as a human being exercising the heights of human potential.

Hopefully this makes sense to someone here; I've been trying really hard to explain this reality that yes, is my true reality now.

Yes, I'm doing this, simply to give someone hope in the listening audience that is much larger than the verbal posting one, that this part of the Christian religion, is most definitely true, with a track record at least in my life, that does prove it real and true.

Call it epigenetics and neuroplasticity or call it the higher power of GOD these are metaphors for the essence of the similar thing, but the bottom line is this; it is real, and the truth.

I live for the truth and yes, love too, and the essence of both, is similar indeed, and in deed as well, for the 'wellest? being of human being true.

And by the way if anyone thinks I'm doing this as self promotion, you will not find any commercial interests on my blogs, I am already financial independent; money means absolutely nothing for me, other than a tool, and I want it to stay that way.

I am simply following the rules of the scientific method above, illustrated nicely by Corn Flake, but no I haven't got to the peer review part, and not likely my experiment can be replicated unless someone has experienced all the challenges and adversities I have in life.

This is the requirement of real human natural occurring miracles; challenge and adversity, and meeting them with full human potential.

It's kind of like the metaphor of Forrest Gump, if you will.

It is natures way for all animal excellence.

And if you think it's all about me, it is, and it's all about you too, it's all up to me and you, for what we will be today and tomorrow, successful as a human animal or not, is all up to us, not what culture, in general, including our peers, says we should do or will be, unless we make that our belief and follow it.

You don't need to have a commercial interest to be a self-promoter.

Posting a lengthy post about how magnificently strong, smart and charming you apparently are in a thread about something else entirely will do the trick...

As an example of virtuous dialogue, one should read the introductory chapter of St. Thomas More's "Utopia." No name-calling there!

Please.....just because the guy's a Catholic doesn't mean I'm religious. I'm an agnostic/atheist. There are applicable moral concepts which arise from religion, though.

Apparently you don't understand the context; what makes it a natural miracle is I was totally and permanently disabled as a shut in, in my home for five long years, just a year ago.

In other words the evidence that I am amazingly strong now, with amazing skills is evidence of a natural human miracle with that context given.

The usual reason another person could possibly be bothered by it, is if they are jealous, given the full context of it.

I only want people to share the bliss and potential I have realized in my life now.

The only way to attempt to do that, to provide the hope, is to provide the documented incontrovertible evidence.

It's the way it's always been done.

There is no reason for me to do that, other than love.

Why in the world do you think I would be here, if it wasn't for that.

What am I getting out of this, selfishly, as I could easy go out and dominate some women tonight, if that was my real goal in life.

But no it's not, to not share my success in hopes someone else could have it, would truly be the epitome of selfishness.

But hell no dude, that's not me, although I provide the evidence if there was anything else but true love and humility in my character I would have never accomplished what I have as that is the true source of all my success and accomplishment in life, so yes, what the real man Yeshua aka Jesus teaches per the golden rule rings true. The golden rule does apply, here friend and it's precisely on topic, if you truly do, understand the topic at hand.

And by the way, I said nothing about being charming or smart in my post; those are your words not mine.

The most important intelligence is emotional intelligence in my opinion, and that has always been a challenge for me, and of course the charming part is included in that type of intelligence as well.

But if the truth must be told, most people are more attracted to positive people than negative people, no matter what their intelligence on standard IQ tests are or even their ability to say so called smooth things to other folks.

And that truly more than anything is what I am in real life, positive, almost miraculously positive and always up in most people's worded perceptions, who do meet me in real life now.

Well...

I was addressing Yournamehere, about his "science of the gaps" idea.

Instead of doing what everyone else was doing, which was to get red in the face and scream at him to take science courses, I just thought that we all should ...ya know....just GO with his idea, and see where it leads.

Where it leads is to my modest proposal.

According to him "how a bicycle works [by which he probably means "how a bike stays upright"- not how the pedal and chains propel the bike]" is a 'gap' in scientific knowledge. So lets go with his idea that we cant let science have that because its a 'gap', and give it to...well...to NON science. Or to 'God', or whatever. Let each side have the gaps in the other. Or thats what Yournamehere seems to be implying.

Since religion lost the origin of species a long time ago, and isnt likely to get it back any time soon science would have to keep that. But we could let the religious have bicycles! Teach that God (or his angel minions) hold bike riders upright. Ya know- just divee things up by who's gap is who's!

It isn't very different, yet - you're simply on step one. What happens next is the important part.

I saw the following first posted here by Fnord but, not to discredit his work in writing it, it's still just a stepwise summary of well-established working principles which can be found described in many other places - and in may other posts here on WP.

The Scientific Method:

1) Develop a new hypothesis. A hypothesis is merely an idea that is usually based on passive observations of natural events. An idea does not have to be supported, but if it does not, then it remains only an idea.
2) Search for related data, which may be found in the results of previous research, whether or not the results of the previous research actually support the previous research.
3) If existing data does not support the hypothesis, then return to step 1.
4) Create a new supporting theory. A theory attempts to explain the hypothesis in a cause-and-effect manner. Never propose a theory that is not supported by available evidence.
5) Perform experiments to test the theory. Experiments must be appropriate to the proposed theory, and must be both repeatable and verifiable.
6) If the experimental results do not support the theory, then return to step 4.
7) Record findings and submit to peer-review process. A peer group is composed of professional researchers in the field of study that the theory addresses. The peer group will first examine the initial data for factual errors, then the theory for errors of reasoning, and then perform the same experiments under the same conditions to validate or invalidate the theory.
8) If the peer-review process produces conflicting evidence, then return to step 4.
9) At this point, the theory becomes a scientific principle.
10) Publish the results.

Compare and contrast with -
The Fantasy Method for Promoting Delusion and Ignorance:

1) Form an opinion. This opinion does not have to be founded on anything other than dreams, fantasies, fears, hallucinations, ignorance, imagination, legends, myths, prejudices, speculation, superstitions, suspicions, or wishful thinking.
2) Search for supporting data. If any data conflicts with the original opinion then discredit, distort, or ignore the conflicting data. If the conflicting facts or opinions can not be adequately discredited, then the person(s) presenting the conflicting facts or opinions (the ?critic? or ?skeptic?) must be discredited.
3) Publish the opinion.
4) If any critic or skeptic comes forward with facts or opinions that conflict with the original opinion then discredit, distort, or ignore the conflicting facts, while simultaneously discrediting the person(s) presenting the conflicting facts or opinions.
5) Expand the original opinion into unrelated fields of interest.
6) Repeat from Step 2.

Note that while the Scientific Method is self-correcting and tends to discard and ignore invalid ideas, the Fantasy method does not allow for correction, and thus actually promotes ideas that have no validity in the real world. The Scientific Method is used by those who would seek to determine The Truth about life, the universe, and everything, while those who use the Fantasy Method seek only to gain notoriety through the dissemination and repetition of urban myths, conspiracy theories, and superstitious nonsense.


I have a personal problem with this way of thinking. here is something just for fun again. I detest the fact that dreams, and hallucinations are a fantasy. They are in fact very real. Science not having any basis on most of its aspects due to the fact that the actual event cannot be duplicated. it has no scientific substance, or mass. Furthermore I would like to add that fantasy, imagination, and wishful thinking is in fact a very useful tool in the human mind. Making all of these aspects very practical in many circumstances. The delusions, and ignorance you refer to is a matter of interpretation. Most of science has fundamental roots because of these aspects.

Why do you view fantasies as negative?

Quote:
They are in fact very real.


Who claimed otherwise?

Quote:

We still don't fully understand what causes the sensory perceptions within a dream, but scientists have been studying the human brain in repose for many years. That's the whole point of science - trying to understand the unknown.

It has long been known that dreams coincide with neurological activity during REM sleep. Your suggestion that dreams have no substance or mass is unsupported.

Recently, a group of Japanese scientists claim to have built a "dream recording machine". Although the machine is rudimentary and apparently far from being 100% accurate, it suggests the opposite of what you're claiming, that the event can in fact be duplicated.

Quote:

The delusions, and ignorance you refer to is a matter of interpretation. Most of science has fundamental roots because of these aspects.


What exactly do you believe is meant by "develop a new hypothesis"? Imagination and fantasy form the starting point of the scientific method. Your "personal problem" with that "way of thinking" is diametrically opposed to your reason for having the problem in the first place.

You know rather than making dumb sarcastic comments which only serve to highlight just how little you know about a subject, I would have thought you would be better served listening to the people who have posted in response to your thoughts. As to my understanding of these subjects, I know very little, yet it would appear I know a great deal more than you, does that make me a person of "unquestionable genius" i would hope not.

Here is a suggestion check out the differences between conjecture, hypothesis, and theory from a scientific perspective. Better still read Cornflakes excellent post again and again and again, eventually some of what he said should begin to penetrate.
