I recommend muting your speakers before entering that site. Okay, so the use of mathematics in physics is wrong, because it assumes that math corresponds to reality? But no, it doesn't. Evidence demonstrates that a certain mathematical structure models a physical phenomenon well and makes accurate predictions. Based on that evidence, we use that mathematical structure to model the aforementioned phenomenon. Where does "faith" in the "religion" of mathematical physics ever show up?

Also, lol at his ridiculous double helix theory of light. Apparently, before he made crackpot physics theories on the internet, he was a spy. He even has a book on Amazon and it sits at FIVE STARS! I really hope those ratings are just parody reviews, like the three wolf moon meme, but I somehow doubt it. This crank has sucked in followers.

This is borderline Timecube shit here folks.

Seems legit.

It's not funny. It's ignorance on parade.

Your computer is based on theoretical solid state physics. Transistors make no sense classically.

Americans are stupid because they worship ONEism evil.

Exactly why it's funny. Derp.

They are a tiny minority also. And one usually expects this sort of anti-science crusading from religious fanatics, but the fact that this man and his acolytes are professed atheists just makes it darkly comical, as their little cult seems to have missed the point of atheism.

Actually, a lot of atheists that I know get so caught up in the dogmatic elements of the New Atheism, that science is always right and religion is always wrong, that they're willing to believe anything that appears scientific. So long as something like sinewave biorhythms or ion bracelets or these pseudophysical theories that this fellow is proposing don't involve anything supernatural, they're willing to give it credence. Using scientific vocabulary and cool sciencey computer graphics has the same effect on some atheists that quoting Bible snippets out of context and claiming divine revelation has on some people of faith.

[Dakini]

He was wrong about quantum mechanics (in that later in his career, he wasn't really a fan) and general relativity fails at quantum scales. That doesn't mean that general relativity doesn't work well on macroscopic things though.

Sad to say, you're correct. Atheists don't have to be smart. Atheism is rational, but that doesn't mean that atheists are.

They're not part of a cult though, which puts them quite a bit ahead of most religious fanatics.

I like when some atheists pretend they know science well and are smarter and know science better than believers.

Don't get me wrong, I'm ignostic so I fall more into the skeptical category than the believer one, but the average atheist is similar to the average person in that they don't know much at all about science. There are some scientists who are atheists, but that doesn't mean that the atheist laypersons have a better knowledge of science than the theistic laypersons.

So it really doesn't surprise me when atheists also believe stupid things.

As a theist, I can tell you:

Atheist = rational and intelligent person

Theist = irrational, idiotic, sexist, homophobic subhuman.

*nods*

Well, I may have exaggerated a bit, but the main point is there somewhere.

You didn't hear anything about elevatorgate if you don't think that atheists can't be sexist, irrational and idiotic.

While I'm busy resisting the urge to bury an iceaxe in my head from the stupidity that is attaching "gate" to something to denote a scandal, do you mind explaining to me what "elevatorgate" *shudders* is?

Scientifically literate people are much more likely to be atheistic. That doesn't mean atheistic people are all that likely to be scientific. It's really just an avoidance of affirming the consequent.

A guy hit on Skepchic in an elevator at a weird time of the day. She then briefly mentioned it and said it made her feel uncomfortable. Afterward, the whole atheist community on Youtube blew it way the fuck out of proportion.
