Touching

Hello everyone, Antonio Here, I am aware this isn't much of a breakthrough video on scientific research or a heated debate between parties, but it brought me to tears, it reminded me of something most of us forget, on a daily basis.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and I hope it inspires you to continue on your lifelong journey, whatever it might be.

Peace, Love and Respect.
Antonio.

Electronic Voting Machine, Exposed!

Princeton University shows how electronic voting machines used in many states around the US can be tampered with stealing votes and impossible to track down.

This particular Diebold machine will be used for 10% of the U.S. electorate this November.

The makers of this video urge public officials to address these issues promptly. More details, including a full technical paper containing a more complete security analysis and discussion of mitigation strategies can be found on their website: http://itpolicy.princeton.edu/voting

Please pass this information on and keep the US as democratic as possible.

Atheist Video Rebuttal Comment

Zachary Kroger (zakiechan) has created a new Atheist video. Check it out below. (Thanks to YouTube)



Another YouTube user (vulkanom) has created a video in response to Zak's Atheist Video. See response video here

This is my response to the video by vulkanom, left as a comment on the video's youtube page:

After writing this responce, I started to read the comments left behind for vulkanom. They are hallarious! I suggest you read them as well.
 

I patiently waited through the entire presentation to see what you would say about Carl Sagan's Words:

   "It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." -Carl Sagan

You didn't say anything about the above quote, you decided to comment on another quote from Carl Sagan:

   "Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proves." -Carl Sagan

Your response: "Show me your proves!"

Ok...
First of all, you are the one making extraordinary claims. God, heaven, hell and all the other silly things you want to believe in is extraordinary. Scientists including Carl Sagan aren't making extraordinary claims, they only make claims based on what they observe and test through the scientific method. There is nothing observable or testable about a God.

To answer your question regarding proves:
We as a species, the human race, have expanded our knowledge and experience greatly in the general study that we call science. With the help of our recent technological revolution, computers and the Internet, we are making incredible scientific finds (through proof and experimentation).

Little can be said about a God because there is no proof and there is no experiment that can be done to test its existence.

No where in all this research have scientists come remotely close to finding some testable proof that an omnipotent being such as the god you claim to exist.

That's why you call it faith, and faith is belief without logical proof. Wherever you go, whatever you do, you're belief will always be only what you think and nothing else since there is nothing you can do to prove it.

This site isn't mine, but something you should consider looking into, its very informative. I'd like to see you create a video on some of the long premises spoken about in this site:http://whywontgodhealamputees.com/

Another point of interest is a short video spoken by Sam Harris an outspoken freethinker. Sam Harris at Idea City '05 (YouTube Video)
