A collection of some of my threads against atheism.

I plan on rewriting them to a higher quality, but for now, consider this a temporary table of contents 😅
The Hard Problem of Consciousness

Quantum Mechanics, Consciousness, and God

An Argument from Biology

Pascal’s Wager

The Fine-tuned Universe

I have a lot more to write and rewrite insha’Allah. Stay tuned

Story about the first time I interacted with an ex-Muslim, and why they obsess with Islam.

My childhood friend called me one day and admitted he’s struggling with his deen. I was known in my friend circle as someone knowledgeable on this stuff, so he asked if he could come
1
over and ask some questions. I said yes and he came by later that day. He started asking me question after question about Islamic things he found illogical or that didn’t make sense to him. Each time I gave a sufficient answer where he couldn’t respond, he would go to
2
this online ex-Muslim forum. I didn’t know what ex-Muslims were at the time, so I thought it was just a site that was causing him doubt and he wanted to see their responses.

Only later on did I realize he’s *been* an ex-Muslim and only came to try and sow doubts in me

The Observer-Dependent Universe: Quantum Mechanics, Consciousness, and God

[Thread]

What if I told you that when no one is looking at the moon, it doesn’t really exist? Unless you have some background knowledge in quantum mechanics (QM), you’d say I’m crazy. So... am I?
Before we go deep in the rabbit hole, the conclusion of the 1927 Double Slit Experiment must be understood. This experiment shook the foundations of science like no other. It concluded that particles don’t exist in a definitive way unless observed. Otherwise,
/2
it exists as a “wave function,” or a ‘field of probabilities.’

This is called superposition, a state in which a particle exists in all possible locations. Take for example an electron in an atom. The probability clouds below show where there is a 90% chance to find the electron

@peterschaeferac @OliverBWeber @E_Wehling 1/ Der Ansatz von Wehling kombiniert, wie in vielen aktuellen kognitionswissenschaftlichen Ansätzen üblich, psychologische und neurologische Begründungsfiguren.
@peterschaeferac @OliverBWeber @E_Wehling 2/ Er fasst sie aber so, dass diese in Konflikt mit seinem logischen Geltungsanspruch geraten, also der Logik, die er stets voraussetzen muss.
@peterschaeferac @OliverBWeber @E_Wehling 3/ Das Problem wird durch die Hinzunahme eines linguistischen Sprachnormativismus zugleich verdeckt und verschärft, sofern Sprache Logik zu bedingen scheint, aber selbst in einem problematischen Verhältnis zur neurologischen Explikation steht.

I'll make this one quick because you might turn off you TV/Computer/Phone before I even get to the end of the thread. Of course the content of television programming has an effect on the way people think, but what about the signals.
How ironic that the old cliche adage so many mothers said to their children, "Don't sit too close to the TV" actually has quite a bit of merit in light of these patents and the claims they make about how television broadcasts signals effect your brain. I know my mom had no idea.
So, not only do you have to worry about how the content of what you are watching will effect your thoughts, you actually have to consider there may be some less obvious physical manipulation in the actual signals coming from the tube. steemit.com/science/@anarc…

Consciousness in the universe: a review of the 'Orch OR' theory.
Hameroff, Penrose.

Phys Life Rev. 2014 Mar;11(1):39-78. doi: 10.1016/j.plrev.2013.08.002. Epub 2013 Aug 20.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24070914
Orch-OR was initially dismissed out of hand because the brain was considered too “warm, wet, and noisy” for quantum processes. However, evidence has now shown warm quantum coherence in plant photosynthesis, bird brain navigation, our sense of smell, and now in brain microtubules.
According to Hameroff and Penrose, the recent discovery of quantum vibrations in microtubules inside brain neurons corroborates their theory. The discovery was made by a research group led by Anirban Bandyopadhyay at the National Institute of Material Sciences in Tsukuba, Japan.

Science is the casting of syntactic nets, taxonomizing its contents, & adding another layer of mesh b4 casting it anew While much is learned frm studying wht remains, the contents never behave as they did in the water,& wht IS water?A pesky medium net cannot catch
/TheoryThread\

Artificial super intelligence is achieved; algorithmic curiosity. ASI will simulate its attempts to capture nature of (our) reality it inhabits. If successful, ASI simulates nested isomorphisms of reality ad infinitum, our reality. Eternal recurrence?Time=flat O?

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html
It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism.

If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.

At the request of @grokkingStuff, a pontification thread about MWI.
First, my (lack of) credentials: QM, adv classical mech, E&M in undergrad, many books (pop- and text-) and papers, focus on foundations.
So, more than a typical interested layman, but less than a curious physics BS with an interest in foundations.
