As always, it's a pleasure to read your posts, Thank you. Greetings from Popocatépetl !!

Baby develops 'sexual urges' and grows pubic hair due to extremely rare condition

.....“His penis had grown to that of a man’s size and we knew something was wrong.”....

Ya think?  I wonder what he thought of being breast-fed?

That's a wonderful story. Sometimes I think science does a little too much in the way of assumptions, particularly where early hominids are concerned. I was taught that Neanterthals were little more than upright animals, but now it seems they  had a society, they had art, they had burial rites, and they may well had spiritual or, more accurately, transcendent leanings. And many modern humans carry Neanderthal genetic markers. What a find this was!

Of course I had to ruin it all by listening to Noory's take on it. When he solemnly said that man has been on the earth millions of billions of millions of years, I smacked myself in the forehead so  hard it left a bruise. I can't even call him a Neanderthal anymore. ::)

Michio Kaku finds definitive proof that God exists.

I think that might be a hoax, since all searches lead back to that site, with no citations.

None of those videos are related to the article though, and there's no mention of this on his own website.

Such a claim is monumental for a physicist.

It's no different from Intelligent Design (read: creationism) theory, either.

I'm calling shenanigans.

"I bought this mansion in Georgia ... this was a really, really spooky place," Brown says. "But yes, one time, I woke up, and yeah, a ghost. I was being mounted by a ghost."



Brown, who also claims he slept with Madonna and Janet Jackson, went on to explain that he was not on any drugs when the alleged sexual encounter occurred.


"I wasn't high," he says. "I was not trippin'."

In the (2013) video embeded within the click bait article, Michio says (near the end) "The final resolution could be that god is a mathematician." I'm not saying anyone is right, just that he said it. He goes into supersymetry, as a math product of physics.

But the article is supposedly quoting Kaku, yet there's no source for it anywhere other than the article itself.

As far as I know, Kaku's beliefs are similar to what Eisenstein's was, which is to say, pretty much a hardcore atheist. For him to be saying he's found proof of the supernatural would be a bigger deal.

I wouldn't consider Einstein a hard core aetheist and he certainly wasn't early in his life.

I'm just going by Kaku's video I watched to determine what he said. Not someone else's verification of such.
Is Kaku himself as a source suspect?
Is the video fabricated?
Keep trying.

Einstein didn't believe in God, a soul, or life after death. His references to a God or religion were abstract.

"During the youthful period of mankind's spiritual evolution human fantasy created gods in man's own image, who, by the operations of their will were supposed to determine, or at any rate to influence, the phenomenal world. Man sought to alter the disposition of these gods in his own favor by means of magic and prayer. The idea of God in the religions taught at present is a sublimation of that old concept of the gods. Its anthropomorphic character is shown, for instance, by the fact that men appeal to the Divine Being in prayers and plead for the fulfillment of their wishes."

The quotes in the article don't exist anywhere outside of the article, and the video embedded in the article is unrelated to the claims it makes. The article claims Kaku is arguing for Intelligent Design, or the watchmaker analogy. In other words, creationism. I have a hard time believing that.

The site also has an article from someone who was in the Illuminati and is going to tell all. I'll take a pass.

The one thing that would make me consider an intelligence behind the universe, not an Old Testament God, but an intelligence, would be higher order math, golden ratios, Fibonacci sequence everywhere, Planck's constant but not statistics and probability, that's just whack .  :P

"Ooh baby, baby, your sine is so fine."

According to biographer Walter Isaacson, Einstein was more inclined to denigrate atheists than religious people. Einstein said in correspondence, "[T]he fanatical atheists...are like slaves who are still feeling the weight of their chains which they have thrown off after hard struggle. They are creatures whoâ€"in their grudge against the traditional 'opium of the people'â€"cannot hear the music of the spheres." Although he did not believe in a personal God, he indicated that he would never seek to combat such belief because "such a belief seems to me preferable to the lack of any transcendental outlook."

Above from Wiki.

Einstein did believe in something but didn't know what the creator was.  He did not believe in the Judeo-Christian concept of God but he did believe that there was probably some creative force that shaped the universe.  He was simply an agnostic.

He didn't like the label, and criticized the hardliners of the time, but a lot of his writings are atheistic, and an outright rejection of the Christian God, like you said.

“I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one”

"If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."

He did have the weird deism thing, but it was nebulous, and I don't think he believed there are supernatural forces underlying everything. So the definition of a god becomes pretty broad and abstract.

This is why you must ALWAYS wear clean underwear so that when the Medical Examiner comes to collect your wankered out ass after your co-workers had a good look, your family won't be disgraced.
