I wrote the following in reply to comments on my video 'The Ignorance of Atheism' elsewhere. It works toward a logical consideration of the unscientific concept....
Human knowledge has accumulated through conscious effort. Human beings seem to exists in a large space (universe). It seems to be a functioning event process. Uncertainty arises before its origin and follows it entropic demise or phase transition ahead. What human experience actually is in't certain.. it may be described just in the circumstance of social and existential relativity.
Metaphysically remember Bishop Berkeley as well as Emperor Theory.
Plotinus described some of the One, Christians know The Son.Logically the atheist/atheist position for itself are two sides of a coin with agnosticism on the edge.
If one regards atheism as a faith or belief rather than a positivist assertion made without evidence, it then would be entitled to be regarded as an example of the Argument From Ignorance that Bertrand Russell invented.
I am not sure of what 'other perspectives' might exist on belief in God, belief that god does not exist and the point of uncertainty.
Those three opinions seem to encompass what one might have about it. It is rather like the binary states of computers today in the on or off setting. Eventually with quantum computers it may be possible to have more states than that though one cannot know for sure right now.
God is not regarded as a creature incidentally. If one might say anything about Him analogously it might be more like a Unified Field containing and setting an infinite number of potential forms to be or become deterministicaly. Human forms and referent Universes are phenomenal denotations within His experience. He has promulgated nature in accord with His will.
One should be aware that the political and sociological criteria of dissent from faith is not the same question as an objective investigation of nature on in search of evidence for or against the existence of God. There are valid historical circumstances where political reform in liberation from oppression by state religions were valid, and of course the opposite situation where religious minorities or even minorities were persecuted, exiled or slaughtered by governing power.
That atheists tend to rely too much upon the work of refuting ancient doctrines is one of the salients points I made in the video essay. That is an historical approach to finding objective cosmological evidence-certainly a less than scientific approach.
Perhaps Jews invented History writing. The Greeks had Homer but Thucydides was tardy comparatively. This isn't, with respect, a history 101 class.
The point about divine inspiration is a good one-intriguing especially for the New Testament....
One might disprove the Ptolemaic cosmology and discount the possibility that any unified field theory could exist I suppose, and have a paradigm something like the reasoning of atheists that are theoretical physicists today when they extract an argument for atheism based on criticism of Zoroastrainism, the Bible or whatever.
The Bible is not historical fiction. It is not Don Quixote.or The Tales of Genji. Neither was it Sophocles or Euripidean in style. Kings, Chronicles and so forth are some of the best history of the era existing. I did point out in the video however that atheists rely on badly formed criticisms of the Bible to infer atheism.
Ockham's razor would suggest that one be agnostic on the topic taking Wittgenstein's 'Whereof I cannot speak thereof I must be silent'.
Atheist opinion may be developed by ignoring scientific method. It may also be developed by ignoring Biblical facts and levering a false alternative with a straw man.
Good opinions are well informed; atheist opinion is not.
One is aware of the argument of William James about the consequences of placing a wrong bet on faith and salvation, yet that aside, the absence of conclusive proof as in any scientific endeavor ought to leave one agnostic. Mixing up scientific method with philosophy and. theology, Biblical history and so forth isn't a good way to find purely scientific proofs.
A logical fallacy. I can't recall the name of it, although I could search for that. Philosophers of logic worked on that kind of issue in the 50's and 60's or even earlier. I can't duplicate that work here to help explain it.
Kripke's 'Naming and Necessity' and Russell's description of names provide insight into why not all verbal constructions have referent objects. That isn't the issue with God though.
Deductive and informal fallacies are common. The Argument From Ignorance asserts the existence of anything that cannot be disproved. That works in the opposite direction as well for asserting the state of non-existence for anything for which there is no evidence.
One can use dead reckoning judgments to generalize odds for referents without support of objective evidence; contingent probability perhaps.
The fallacy of composition also may afflict cosmology, politics and defense.
Consider the mythic history of Pegasus. People disbelieve that, however what Europeans disbelieve is probably different from the original legend arising in Greece.
If the white horse with wings is a northern European idea transformation of the Greek legend of a horse so fast that it could be said to fly, it is possible that there was an Arabian stallion that was brought by ship to Greece long ago, perhaps even over as far as Troy able to outrun the slower European horses and becoming legend.
Deductive and informal fallacies are common enough. Russell's Argument From Ignorance asserts the existence of anything that cannot be disproved. That works in the opposite direction as well for asserting the non-existence for anything for which there is no evidence.
There is simply no known evidence in support of atheism that would meet even minimal scientific criteria.
The acceptance of any sort of universal proposition describing the non-existence of a non-contingent Supreme Being is implicitly incomprehensive. It is something like using a set of even numbers to prove that no odd numbers exist (if one had not yet discovered them).
Theories of knowledge or epistemology moved into formal logical paradigms can be in an ontology of meanings regarded as verified or not. There is a verificationist theory of truth incidentally.
Determining the truth values of language constructions is a philosophical practice, as it is for anyone.
It isn't a simple topic. Noam Chomsky provided an example of a sentence that is meaningless yet semantically correct...
at wikipedia...Colorless_green_ideas_sleep_furiously
There are several methods of describing sentences or propositions that have no object of reference. A theory of names (Kripke and Russell) can be realist or nominalist, Yet Quine also developed a language term structure called an ontology.
Propositions and names may have a descriptionist form. Krike at least expressed the form 'x such that Fx' in Naming and Necessity. He said that the form is be used for names as well as descriptions.
X can be any thing that exists. One may use existential quantification and say that there is at least one X in the Universe such that Fx. F might be any sort of adjective, verb, phrase etc that describes the referent X.
Lexicons are lists of meaningful content of a language.
The 20th century philosopher Carnap provided the grammatically correct yet meaningless nonsense phrase "This stone is thinking about Vienna". Perhaps it could be said to have a value as an abstract fiction enabling thought about the inability of stones to think at all.
Existential quantification as a construction with words from a lexicon refer to known referents or speculative referents, yet cannot meaningful refer to unknown referents... such as...
∃ (is a Universe without a Creator)
Gödel's incompleteness theorems of natural numbers demonstrated the inability of axioms to provide necessary proofs of consistency of themselves. I believe a correlative example is that there cannot be a set of all sets containing itself. Cantor's trans-finite number series cannot get around that.
One is left with an infinite number of possible cosmological theories for which the infinite number of possible Universes is just one trans-finite set. It is not possible to place a finite cap on any given Universe that would provide information of the unknown state of non-existence of a Creator for any given Universe that exists. It is perhaps not even possible to apply the concept of a non-Created Universe to all possible Universes rather than just a or one Existentially quantified, and of course begging the point of completeness of proof.

The Goal of a Shield from Relativistic Effects Near Light Speed?
Photons and other particle-waves traveling at light speed are very small. Things that travel at the speed of light are all very small. Larger clumps of things such as atoms don’t go real fast in a generally straight line. The speed of light could exist because there are a limited number of kinds of things in the Universe that are small enough to have that apparently standard unit speed. Neutrinos, cosmic rays, gravity-these things happen at the speed of light.
It would be a good thing if one could wrap some large object like a human being in a Bose-Einstein condensate of the neutron kind made at absolute zero-evidently they behave like one single particle. If that single apparent particle could be accelerated at the speed of light yet not pick up the extra weight that mass does as it accelerate-perhaps tricking whatever usually acts upon mass to make it become infinitely heavy as it approaches the speed of light then one might be able to send Bose-Einstein shielded astronauts to nearby star systems in a few years.
Of course that’s just wishful thinking, for whatever it is about space-time that screens out everything except for very small, fast particle-waves from traveling at light speed must act upon net mass and size rather than topological features of a unit in space-time.
It could be that space-time has extra small dimensions that light can pass through or around while larger objects can’t and push up a resisting bow wave of space-time. One might like to think that space-time has some of the characteristics of gravity or of a gravitational field for-itself that acts upon accelerated mass to slow and weigh it down. Instead of gravitons mass is deflected along a stretched matrix of space-time. Quantum mechanical networks of wave probabilities might comprise the entire phenomena fundamentally, to a limited extent.
It is interesting t consider that a photon is a fundamental massless or nearly massless particle wave. Light speed could be a fundamental speed for all fundamental particles or even strings except as they are bound up in larger structures of apparent aggregates of mass such as neutrons, protons If quarks are made of strings, perhaps the strings travel at light speed as parts of the quark while the quark appears stable. The quantum levels of particle waves may consist with speed of light characterizes consistent with special relativity. Just a thought.

U.S. Senators of Western States in the Era of Slump
I wonder if the quality of the U.S. Senators from the western states has significantly declined the past couple of decades. Perhaps it is just viewing the Scoop Jackson, Warren G. Magnuson, Mark Hatfield, Bob Packwood a socially flawed individual) era with nostalgia; the U.S.A. had perennially balanced budgets then and the difference between rich and poor wasn't stark.
Scoop Jackson got that nickname by delivering newspapers on a route in his youth rather than experimenting with cocaine as did the President. One cannot blame the change on blacks rising with affirmative action either since there are no black members of the Senate from the Western States.
Well, the Tea Party at least hopes to get rid of that holdout from the Reagan era Orin hatch of Utah. I don't think that would help much to change the tendency toward perennial unrealpolitk that took over after the end of the cold war.
Rather than guns and butter, people want illegal aliens for cheap labor for the middle class, all the dirty industrial work outsourced to compliant communist ruled workers under authoritarian supervision and a snarky broadcast media slaughtering political self-determination by trampling over everyone's grapes of wrath before they can be bottled and sold to consumer-reformers with an American bias toward egalitarianism and personal liberty, a good robust wild ecosystem and a new generation of practical low-cost concrete dome homes.
It is for Americans to build an irrational number style bureaucratic economic principle with an infinite number of persons slicing the pie of corporate and government distribution of shares returning profits from investments abroad. A next generation of better politicians should have economic and environmental literacy with the goal of approaching a minimal entropy, full employment national production infrastructure that manufactures goods rather than paper profits from financial and trading transactions.

Alaska Polar Bear Fur Loss Mystery
The cause is unknown and under investigation as is the die off of ringed seals (that investigation began in 2011). About 30% of polar bears sedated and observed had the problem. Skeptics might suspect its simply the developing chemical soupifying of the Arctic Ocean because of oil development and nuclear experimentation, hidden toxic waste dumping in Russia and so forth.
http://www.adn.com/2012/04/06/2410648/barrow-bears-losing-their-hair.html
Ursus maritimus is derived from the brown bear-especially Irish brown bear of yore. Eight of 19 Polar bear species are fading in numbers. If it gets too warm up north they may be compelled to return to breed with brown bear and struggle along with that species in its present and future battle to remain alive. There are comparatively few grizzly and brown bear in the 48 states today.
The U.S. Geologic Survey scientists looking at the Beaufort Sea bears should work with Russian scientists to check out Russian polar bears and the Canadian Arctic too in order to discover if its just an American pollution problem or some kind of general sick critter problem that could be fixed with special formula bear de-pest powder.

A Philosophical Note on Gravity
What about gravity? If it were a force conveyed by a particle then it too must have mass able to latch onto all the other known particles in the quantum zoo. If particles are exchanging mass-even gravitons- then they must be giving something up quantitatively in one direction.Perhaps that is why mass clusters as it releases gravitons to something unknown-perhaps space or extra dimensions.
It is interesting to consider the frequencies of quantum particles along with their quality of energy. The faster and more energetic a particle is the tighter is its path of bounces between extra dimensional sheets a it were as if they were bouncing back and forth along a direction of motion. Photons have little or no mass and travel the fastest of known particles relatively speaking (in comparison to larger particles), yet gravity also travels at the speed of light, or at least its effects do acting upon space-time whatever it is.
Photons may be an emergent characteristic of an electro-magnetic field and not exist for-themselves. If one takes a long rope and flips a wave into it that wave travels along the rope although it has no reality outside of the rope. Maybe the warping of space-time is comparable to that, yet maybe not. Photons may be a characteristic like that, yet if so then how do they have energy that they can give up to solar cells and other items as energy?
If there are extra smaller dimensions that exist as concatenated parallel sheets very close together and the energy/mass in this universe bouncing back and forth between them as waveform ocillations appear as particle-waves at a location or speed if sampled with observation low energy, low frequency waves have longer wavelengths with and high energy ones shorter. That sort of solution seems reasonable if one considers the point that a photon or any other particle or wave should travel off in a straight line rather llike a planet without other gravity field acting upon it close by. Comets and the Earth are affected by the sun's gravity forming an ellipse or a parabol or evn just a brief course deflection some times. Photons have so spend a little energy, or something must, to make the particles bounce back and forth like they were between to space-time plains instead of going off wherever. Photons may even gain or loses some energy to that extra-dimensional field.
It is interesting to consider some of the logical characteristics of gravitons as if they existed to form various paradigms about their function. Einstein perhaps developed the paradigm of warped space-time as an analogy of gravity and space-time in a working, demonstrative formula rather than describing the mechanism of gravity in-itself. Yet the circa 1900 developments in quantum mechanics and the photoelectric effect were the result of careful physical experimentation with rigourous technical measurement as well as through theoretical physical conjecture.
It is a interesting enough to consider several aspects of quantum gravity theory and extra dimensional conjectures-even with various configurations that energy and mass might be packaged in.

U.S. Job Creation Drops Off in March
To reduce the nation's unemployment rate it is generally held that more than 250,000 jobs must be created per month. In March just 120,000 new jobs opened yet the unemployment rate is said to have dropped a tenth of a percent to 8.2. Not since October 2011 have so few new jobs been created nationally.
The national economy seems badly set generally though with unsustainable national debt increase. another Obama administration would rocket the debt beyond 20 trillion dollars from the present 15 trillion or so. Interest on the national debt would be more than a trillion dollars annually.
Even if the unemployment rate were to drop to four percent right away (unlikely) the debt structured economy with declining average pay in 1971 dollars, and with homes to large with huge finance costs and lengthy mortgages, while manufacturing is largely outsourced and the financial related services sector employing about 30% of the workforce is another economic crisis waiting to happen.
Besides that, the non-renewable nature of traditional economic values and consumer debt required to stimulate a non-renewable economy increase the need for reformist politicians with good new ideas about delivering quality lifestyle for all Americans with a recovery ecospherically and with elimination of personal and national debt. it is quite possible, yet the traditional economics and politics of the U.S.A. today is something like N.F.L. players that have run their heads into the concussive opposition a few to many years continuing to go after the same plays again with the encouragement of bounty for head shots providing coaches.

Next Generation of Radiation-free Atomic Bombs
I read an informal discussion on the topic of scientific developments of radiation-free nuclear bombs. Everyone knows about the neutron bomb and its retirement by the first Bush administration after the end of the cold war. I did not know that research continued on the development of radiation free hydrogen bombs however.
Evidently atomic bombs have a jacket that can absorbs neutrons usually, and it is simple enough to design warheads to produce low radiation or make them full of gamma, beta and alpha rad.
With a next generation of high yield,low rad atomic bombs I suppose that very hardened opposition force secret research facilities very powerful below the ground locations will be within range of termination. It is interesting and concerning that atomic weapons can be commonly made to not make long-lasting radiation upon detonation. That may tempt some future war planners to use them in a critical circumstance.

Timbuktu Gets Sharia Law, Mali Challenges Ahead
Mali's ongoing civil changes after the deposition of the elected government March 21st by a junta led by Capt. Amadou Sanogo are a result of Tuareg rebels being driven from Libya with the regime change encouraged by the Obama administration. One wonders if Mali will become another refuge for dissenters to western economic and civil patterns, as Salifist Sunni Moslems are also at the forefront of the takeover of Mali evidently.
http://articles.cnn.com/2012-04-04/africa/world_africa_mali-unrest_1_power-or-face-sanctions-mali-tuareg?_s=PM:AFRICA
Tuareg rebels want to create a new homeland named Azawad in Northern Mali. West African nations are planning military intervention to drive out the insurgency that might migrate somewhere else, since those people may have nowhere to go as an ethnic group beside some nation claimed by other ethnic groups. The French have said they will provide something like non-lethal material support for the West African intervention. The Foreign Legion doesn't seem likely to drop from the sky over Timbuktu right away.
The leaders of the revolution plan to have a convention to determine issues about Mali's future.

Yet Timbukto has been placed under Sharia law by the de facto Northern Mali government, and I suppose they may get gasoline to fuel their Toyota desert pick ups from some Saudi benefactor if sanctions for the regular fuel supply are cut. Mali has only about a two week gasoline supply.

With three million people Mali people could suffer somewhat with a protracted irregular conflict, and of course the event-process of Al Qa'eda and other Moslem sharia law supporting irregular cover/overt paramilitary forces drifting in an out of Mali to this border and that may complicate the stabilization needed to allow development of national economies based on natural resource depletion and carbon dioxide emissions to say nothing of the extermination of wildlife, promotion of bureaucracy and liberation of women from traditional social and moral norms or other norms that were normal somewhere else. What will the U.N. do to prevent any loss of life in Mali and to assure adequate clean water supplies, good employment and personal security for all Malians right away?

Obamacare Would Cost Youth Trillions and Trillions
Younger Americans are the basic group targeted for financial exploitation by Obamacare. Unlike social security where a lifetime of contributions in theory return something for many, the involuntary health insurance payments to for-profit corporations from those under 44 will return nothing upon reaching retirement age. The program is designed to transfer wealth from younger workers to the middle class that want to pay less money for health care.
In early times transferring wealth from one social class to another was regarded as the right of kings and of slave owners that reallocated the labor value of commoners inn order to concentrate wealth. Today the policy is known as Obamacare.
http://2010.census.gov/news/releases/operations/cb11-cn147.htm
The 18 to 44 age group is not increasing nearly as quickly as older groups. Middle class use of insurance that is subsidized by younger workers is likely to increase as they find contraceptives with special spices and ointments covered by insurance, and discover that each new blemish requires a dermatologist trained in vanishing those spots, or that augmented breasts and hair transplants are covered by medical insurers. Won't the Democrat elites find that guru-led hot tub chanting at special spas are necessary for the health and well-being of the whole person and mandate insurers to pay for that and more?
How much will younger workers saddled with Obamadebt pay over the rest of their lifetime? If they give up 2000 a year that would be $20,000 per decade. If the cost doubles in 20 years they would pay $40,000 per decade. Some workers might pay a half million dollars over a lifetime in order to get a hernia fixed once or twice II guess before reaching medicare age. That is one expensive surcharge to subsidize health costs for the middle class and burden the poor with paperwork invading their privacy and harassing them.
Creating free public services for those that cannot afford them otherwise is something of an F.D.R. tradition since the depression. The public isn't prevented by the constitution from expanding the V.A. system to provide free health care for the poor as well as veterans while continuing to provide medicare for the elderly. That would be a better, lawful approach for emergency medical provisioning that works realistically.
The young can use their money to invest in their future perhaps buying a per-fab home. They too if poor could use the expanded V.A. open hospital for the poor if necessary. If they can afford it they should pay out of pocket like the middle class and perhaps invent a better, cheaper form of medical care provisioning if they are really restive about the problem; preferably one that exploits the advantages of free enterprise.

http://2010.census.gov/news/releases/operations/cb11-cn147.htm
The 18 to 44 age group is not increasing nearly as quickly as older groups. Middle class use of insurance that is subsidized by younger workers is likely to increase as they find contraceptives with special spices and ointments covered by insurance, and discover that each new blemish requires a dermatologist trained in vanishing those spots, or that augmented breasts and hair transplants are covered by medical insurers. Won't the Democrat elites find that guru-led hot tub chanting at special spas are necessary for the health and well-being of the whole person and mandate insurers to pay for that and more?
How much will younger workers saddled with Obamadebt pay over the rest of their lifetime? If they give up 2000 a year that would be $20,000 per decade. If the cost doubles in 20 years they would pay $40,000 per decade. Some workers might pay a half million dollars over a lifetime in order to get a hernia fixed once or twice II guess before reaching medicare age. That is one expensive surcharge to subsidize health costs for the middle class and burden the poor with paperwork invading their privacy and harassing them.
Creating free public services for those that cannot afford them otherwise is something of an F.D.R. tradition since the depression. The public isn't prevented by the constitution from expanding the V.A. system to provide free health care for the poor as well as veterans while continuing to provide medicare for the elderly. That would be a better, lawful approach for emergency medical provisioning that works realistically.
The young can use their money to invest in their future perhaps buying a per-fab home. They too if poor could use the expanded V.A. open hospital for the poor if necessary. If they can afford it they should pay out of pocket like the middle class and perhaps invent a better, cheaper form of medical care provisioning if they are really restive about the problem; preferably one that exploits the advantages of free enterprise.
Stars and Empty Space version 2.0 (poem)
The sun chases around empty space
leaving its past behind in recurrent place
near emptiness with virtual particles and cosmic rays
crenellated dimensions; six extra small ones they’ve waved
one star in a metaphor of warped space still
time a fully extended direction processing space force fields
Stars burning hydrogen in darkness' sight
abyssal dream of non-being night
attuned to the transformation of elemental ideas
stars move like unit cartridges in a river flowing near
packaged to burn with nowhere to go
Like past season’s tents pitched
aslope on soggy moss in fog
H20 yet unfrozen early snow descends upon soggy logs
thoughts of God we believe everywhere
similes of pre-formed patterns niche
determinism of constructed universes strung together
As the Lamb of God was slaughtered
from the first moment intelligence became lost
recovering the beginning of time with a Word for others
we’ve asked pardon for misunderstanding tossed
everything subject to analytique and reasoned theory
that seems beautiful topography for-itself grown weary
of age and time away from the beginning
stars in greater movements
in the space-book of live pages turned
through wonderful mystery.

Syrian Cease Fire 10 April/Annan-Assad
Kofi Annan (a U.N. rep. at large) has brought the Assad Government to accept a cease fire on April 10th. Since there is only one regular government in Syria that means that the government will leave some of the cities it has been pummelling for a while and allow 'humanitarian' goods and personnel too perhaps to reinforce the rebel movement's health and welfare status.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-04-03/annan-says-syria-agrees-to-april-10-peace-deadline/3928656/?site=melbourne
Recently select Gulf Nations and the U.S. Government (the 'Friends of Syria') decided to pay the rebels wages and provide material assistance. A Washington Post headline called it a possible "blank check for Syrian opposition".

The friends except for the U.S.A. might be providing military help too. There is no word presently about what effect that will have on the cease fire.

President Obama Warns Supreme Court Justices
The President's comments seem a bit too imperious for an attorney that seems to fail to respect how the triune government works. The Supreme Court rules on the constitutionality of laws passed by the congress now and then. It is not unprecedented as the President claims, for the Court to overturn laws. It seems to happen often enough.
The Democrat controlled congress forced through Obamacare without, I believe, a single Republican voting for the 2700 page omnibus law that might have enough provisions to make the President another V.I. Lenin-it is rumored that no one has actually read the entire bill.
The bill was not passed by 'a strong majority', but forced through by one party on a technicality.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/04/02/obama-confident-supreme-court-will-uphold-health-care-law/
The President referred to the Court justices as "an unelected group of people" and said that "I'm confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress".
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/president-obamacare-191235956.html
Obamacare would force the poor that do free enterprise to provide the government with their current address and employment status forever I would think, and with the I.R.S. tax codes badly disposed for those making less than 10,000 annually with odd jobs perhaps travelling interstate while homeless it places unreasonable burdens on those not as established as Harvard alumni.
I rode a bicycle perhaps 30,000 miles looking for work around several states, and it would have been impractical to update various state's insurance exchange, postal addresses and so forth in any sort of realistic time paradigm. When in search of the work and free enterprise opportunities one does not know a priori where one will be next week. If work does not show up in a city in a week or two its usually best to move on. The secure and comfortable people that make laws like Obamacare are clueless about the real world beyond the class sinecures they dwell in. They simply pass bad laws of value to themselves as a middle and upper class that reflect their own view of social reality. Their work efforts are antipathetic toward the efforts of the poor and broke yet independent minded that just don't have their superior income revenue stream status.
All of the poor would need to have a computer and Internet access as well I guess to get and update all their personal data required by the Federal Government. Many of the poor are not computer users, and there may not be enough public computers available in the nation's public libraries for the use of the millions of the nation's poor.
The I.R.S. tax form S.E. isn't really designed for use of people working as laborers for a few days here, and a few hours there from one state to another. I file tax returns yet I would bet that myriads of the very poor do not for the trouble.
The President will probably be unelected in November after Obamacare fails in June so he seems to be getting a little stressed-enough to chastise the Court for even considering voting against his will.
With no representation for the poor in the Congress (there are no poor members of Congress) practical health care for the poor just doesn't occur to anyone in that August facility. The V.A. Hospital system should be expanded and provide free healthcare for the poor. Satellite clinics to triage and screen out those that don't require substantial care at large hospitals should be made there.
The poor require free health care while the middle class should pay for their own. The Democrats in Congress voted yes for renewal of the Bush era tax cuts for the rich and middle class so the economy is moribund for those out of world-and of course the employed middle class and rich don't really give a hoot.
Taxes should be raised on the middle class and rich, but they won't be of course, and Democrats instead will talk about the Republican war on women who are allied with the forces of depravity generally on the Democratic side. I believe its really a reference to the war of men upon women that is a basic premise of the Lesbian way of thinking.

The Emperor Theory of Quantum Cosmology
An article in the Scientific American blog mentioned a quantum cosmology theory of interest.The theory of a quantum field with supersymmetry goes deeper than quantum mechanics and the General Theory of Relativity too I would guess. The theory covers ground beyond M-Theory perhaps that would unify the hypothetical super-string theories.
http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/2012/03/30/the-emperor-darth-vader-and-the-ultimate-ultimate-theory-of-physics-2/
It seems like a great idea since the quantification of all of the elements of mass and energy in space-time has been a project since Plank and Einstein got that ball rolling at the start of the 1900's.
I would guess that the trouble is that it is difficult to know what should be quantified as reference objects. The very small and the very large are part of a continuum, along with everything that existed before the start of the Universe obviously. Knowledge of anything such as hypothetical gravitons and strings, membranes of zero-dimension and fields of energy, in addition to 'dark energy' and the possible kinds of existing things besides matter and anti-matter are nominal reference objects. They could be spiritual monads as Leibniz wrote, yet the solidity of physical constants at least of a long-lasting temporal character in steady state physics of the Universe is evident at least so far as providing meaning structures comparable to the chords made sounding on a guitar...for residents of the strings they would be powerful frequencies of experience.
Physicists have much room for theoretical work in the years ahead.

Alaska Gov. & Exxon Mobile Agree on Gas Field Development
The development of a natural gas field with 8 trillion cubic feet of gas at Point Thompson on the North Slope with Exxon Mobile building a pipeline to bring 70,000 barrels of liquids per day into the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System has been agreed upon by the state's Governor and the Exxon-Mobile Corporation.The development of a natural gas field with 8 trillion cubic feet of gas at Point Thompson on the North Slope with Exxon Mobile building a pipeline to bring 70,000 barrels of liquids per day into the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System has been agreed upon by the state's Governor and the Exxon-Mobile Corporation. That might be oil from the field. Exxon-Mobile also agreed to produce 10,000 barrels per day of natural gas condensates by winter 2015-16.
Exxon-Mobile will be able to export gas in ships to Asia however a pipeline to a possible LNG plant on Cook inlet or Prince William Sound may be of more benefit to the state as it to can use natural gas for energy needs in the rail-belt and Anchorage.
With an abundance of natural gas in the contiguous 48 states the possibility of reducing the U.S. trade deficit a little with sale of Alaska natural gas abroad as well as on the spot market globally is possible.

N.S.A.B.B. Recommends Publishing Aersolized Bird Flu Plans
The National Science Advisory board has recommended that research that created an aerosol version of the 60%-fatal-to-humans avian bird flu virus go ahead for published because it might help to understand how mutations make it easier for viruses to be communicated around the world.

Listening to a radio story regarding 'bioethicists' being needed to help scientists make up their mind on the topic because they would otherwise not know what to do, I must admit that I was amused at the idea that biologists are amoral, thoughtless drones requiring programming on 'bioethics'. The Nazi's with Dr. Joesph Mengele must have been equally challenged by moral dilemas that required help from 'ethicists' on the nature of good and evil and of right and wrong.

Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) Maps Acceleration of the Universe
The third element of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-BOSS is underway measuring spacing between select, known objects of more than 300,000 galaxies in order to determine the rate of change of the expansion of space that may have begun in its current phase between 5 to 7 million years after the conjectured start of the Universe.
In theory there is some unknown (dork) energy making the matter of the universe fly away from itself except where the power of gravity has clumped it all together. One might assume that the lamda force aka cosmological constant that Einstein made up to counteract the consequence that the Universe would collapse to a Big Crunch in his field equations for General Relativity without it is some sort of field from the meta-verse preceding the emergence of mass within it. Mass has a charge in comparison to the metaverse and it make attract mass unto itself in all directions in the effort to balance accounts. None of that mentioned here is in the current theory obviously.
The prevailing theory has the dark energy some sort of undiscovered element or force within the matter/energy of the material universe and its finite content. One would think that such a force might act different upon anti-matter, yet so might gravity act differently upon anti-matter. If gravity can act upon electrons, perhaps it is a very small particle to string indeed that pushes and pulls it various directions in relation to its steady state circumstance such as exists in galaxies and black holes and so on.

Frank Wilczek (Winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics) Publishes Paper on Lowest Energy Structures Frozen in Timelessness
I read about the idea in the 24 March issue of Science News (page 8). In its lowest energy state a particle might be 'frozen' into changelessness indefinitely.
That concept reminds me a little of a Bose-Einstein condensate made of neutrons at absolute zero. In their lowest energy state (that's basically what absolute zero for mass is; the absence of energy).
One can understand logically how a neutron might be suspended in the real world at near absolute zero and become one with its cohort of Bose-Einstein condensate neutrons without changing. An electron though has a charge and can always potentially dis-charge. Its lowest energy state while existing in a field may be a comparative term.
One might wonder if any quantum unit might not over-time emit some of its energy and disappear from existence disintegrating like steady-state objects. Dr. Wilczek has done the math that may make that not so.
http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/338500/title/Crystals_may_be_possible_in_time_as_well_as_space
If all mass has a net positive charge in comparison to anti-matter, and if a meta-universe allowed this universe to be separated and exist as a positive charge, then any individual particle of mass, and perhaps even neutrons in the Universe-field might have a comparative charge and have potential energy in regard to the charge characteristics of the meta-verse toward which possible it is being drawn under the guise of lamda (dark energy making the universe 'expand').
Would a hypothetical lowest energy state of any unit of matter or anti-matter comprise a time unit too? Time may be a quantitative change of energy status of a quantum, so if an electron is unchanging (it may need to be motionless too) does that make it a unit of time in-itself? Would units of time need to be standard an separable from mass that might be added to with extra energy or matter or even be annihilated?
If electrons are made of quarks and strings or membranes separated from an initial unified membrane-field then because they exist in space-time they are subject to the macro-quantum time of the life of the Universe for-itself, as well as of gravity. While it may be possible to 'freeze' some elements of energy into a lowest state for-themselves, for-others the units of mass have may have energy value even as the oppositely charged particles drawn unto an uncertain future.

Zimmerman P.D. CCTV, Leaks Continue in Media Pre-Grand Jury ''Trial''
ABC News obtained a Sanford Florida police Department video of (54 seconds in length) of the uncharged Neighborhood Watchman George Zimmerman being led into the station after the shooting without apparent injuries suffered during a physical conflict with Trayvon Martin leading to the shooting death of Martin.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/mar/29/trayvon-martin-george-zimmerman-video?newsfeed=true
This thing seems to go back and forth with more leaks of data and interpretations of data. In countries with democracy and trial before juries of peers the media publicity trial method is restrained in favor of objective,fair and impartial legal proceedings.
If Grand Jury proceedings are usually not disclosed to the public though, it is possible that George Zimmerman's self-defense claim if judged to be true might not be able to satisfy the lust of a political motivated public sector for vengeance. The event may have more followers than the final four.
addition:
That no apparent injuries are obvious doesn't mean there were no injuries or that they were not cleaned up a little. I would not prefer to argue points that defense and prosecutors should make.
For many the issue is racial vengeance and/or political empowering. That is too obvious with the implicit premise that racial profiling is a factor in the Martin case and others.
Zimmerman is an archetype object for the notion that blacks are profiled and shot in disproportionate and unfair numbers. The individual facts that should be discovered through legal processes are being leaked like media crumbs of profit to the flock of the unfaithful followers of partisan politics.
The 10,000 dollar reward by the black panthers for Zimmerman and repeated and many public demands for Zimmerman's arrest does resemble the paradigm of a lynch mob.
It's interesting about American justice today. Hate crimes laws are passed to add existential spice to the unreality of legal penalties for crimes. Even Chileans are considering Hate Crimes laws to add to the existing laws against homicide as if that would make a difference.
In Chile four neo-nazi beat up and killed a homosexual then carved swastikas in the corpse. If the existing penalties for aggravated murder were well enforced there would be no need for laws passed for political purposes. In Mississippi a student named Sanderson was shot multiple times in his dorm-evidently by three Afro-Americans and no national outcry for their arrest has been made. Apparently in Mississippi some people have sufficient regard for the legal authorities that they trust them to pursue justice. A second suspect has been arrested in the shooting of the M.S.U. student.
http://hinterlandgazette.com/2012/03/dontae-harvey-2nd-suspect-arrested-murder-msu-student-john-sanderson.html
A convicted murderer may get just seven years and walk. On the other hand, some are convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. Occasionally some are sentenced to death and after 20 years of litigation may actually be executed. Some of the people on death row are found innocent with exculpatory evidence such as D.N.A., confessions by others or additional facts may provide.
Aggravated and egregious murder should be a category wherein there are unimpeachable witnesses and facts to support a guilty verdict. In such cases deterrence for more crimes might be made by hanging the guilty in the community within two years. As it the litigation drags on so long that when the guilty are executed few remember anything about the crime. As a Christian I would work for a better society rather than constructing a convoluted pile of politically motivated laws.
The murders in the O.J. incident have little in common-or nothing with the Trayvon Martin death. For one thing the murder of O.J.'s ex-wife and her boyfriend were methodically pre-meditate while the death of Trayvon Martin was nearly accidental.
One might wonder if Zimmerman knew Martin as a neighbor and had had some sort of relationship sufficient for him to cleverly plan to execute the 6 foot three guy with a hoodie that must have made him appear to be 6 foot 5 inches walking along a darkened(?) sidewalk that night.
In many parts of America adult men do not much walk through neighborhoods at night but instead drive a car to an address or the store. For those looking for perhaps too obvious of suspicious criminal conduct, just being a 6 foot five looking man walking through a neighborhood after dark could draw a neighborhood watchman's attention.
I believed that the evidence presented in the O.J. trial was sufficient to leave a reasonable doubt. The glove in the house behind the alley, the possibility that as a famous athlete some of his blood might have been available to a team of killers to plant etc. I did not watch most of the trial coverage of course, yet from what I did learn of the trial I would have reached the same verdict as the jury.

This thing seems to go back and forth with more leaks of data and interpretations of data. In countries with democracy and trial before juries of peers the media publicity trial method is restrained in favor of objective,fair and impartial legal proceedings.
If Grand Jury proceedings are usually not disclosed to the public though, it is possible that George Zimmerman's self-defense claim if judged to be true might not be able to satisfy the lust of a political motivated public sector for vengeance. The event may have more followers than the final four.
addition:
That no apparent injuries are obvious doesn't mean there were no injuries or that they were not cleaned up a little. I would not prefer to argue points that defense and prosecutors should make.
For many the issue is racial vengeance and/or political empowering. That is too obvious with the implicit premise that racial profiling is a factor in the Martin case and others.
Zimmerman is an archetype object for the notion that blacks are profiled and shot in disproportionate and unfair numbers. The individual facts that should be discovered through legal processes are being leaked like media crumbs of profit to the flock of the unfaithful followers of partisan politics.
The 10,000 dollar reward by the black panthers for Zimmerman and repeated and many public demands for Zimmerman's arrest does resemble the paradigm of a lynch mob.
It's interesting about American justice today. Hate crimes laws are passed to add existential spice to the unreality of legal penalties for crimes. Even Chileans are considering Hate Crimes laws to add to the existing laws against homicide as if that would make a difference.
In Chile four neo-nazi beat up and killed a homosexual then carved swastikas in the corpse. If the existing penalties for aggravated murder were well enforced there would be no need for laws passed for political purposes. In Mississippi a student named Sanderson was shot multiple times in his dorm-evidently by three Afro-Americans and no national outcry for their arrest has been made. Apparently in Mississippi some people have sufficient regard for the legal authorities that they trust them to pursue justice. A second suspect has been arrested in the shooting of the M.S.U. student.

A convicted murderer may get just seven years and walk. On the other hand, some are convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. Occasionally some are sentenced to death and after 20 years of litigation may actually be executed. Some of the people on death row are found innocent with exculpatory evidence such as D.N.A., confessions by others or additional facts may provide.
Aggravated and egregious murder should be a category wherein there are unimpeachable witnesses and facts to support a guilty verdict. In such cases deterrence for more crimes might be made by hanging the guilty in the community within two years. As it the litigation drags on so long that when the guilty are executed few remember anything about the crime. As a Christian I would work for a better society rather than constructing a convoluted pile of politically motivated laws.
The murders in the O.J. incident have little in common-or nothing with the Trayvon Martin death. For one thing the murder of O.J.'s ex-wife and her boyfriend were methodically pre-meditate while the death of Trayvon Martin was nearly accidental.
One might wonder if Zimmerman knew Martin as a neighbor and had had some sort of relationship sufficient for him to cleverly plan to execute the 6 foot three guy with a hoodie that must have made him appear to be 6 foot 5 inches walking along a darkened(?) sidewalk that night.
In many parts of America adult men do not much walk through neighborhoods at night but instead drive a car to an address or the store. For those looking for perhaps too obvious of suspicious criminal conduct, just being a 6 foot five looking man walking through a neighborhood after dark could draw a neighborhood watchman's attention.
I believed that the evidence presented in the O.J. trial was sufficient to leave a reasonable doubt. The glove in the house behind the alley, the possibility that as a famous athlete some of his blood might have been available to a team of killers to plant etc. I did not watch most of the trial coverage of course, yet from what I did learn of the trial I would have reached the same verdict as the jury.
There is a normal legal procedure going through its normal process. I have some confidence in that. I find the circus surrounding the particular death investigation an indication of some sort of wrong socialization in the U.S.A.
New Cosmology Paradigm?,'Cosmic Numbers' etc.
James Stein's nice cosmological physics book published in 2011 is a smart history and paradigm-placing popular physics book well worth reading. One gets a little traction from the mathematicians approach to reviewing several important numbers and formulas made over the history of physics that have changed the way humanity and science understand the physical world/universe.
I especially enjoyed reading the chapters on the Plank constant, light,gravity, absolute zero electricity and the proportionality constant. Who would know that there is actually a math formula to prove that Zeno's arrow would actually reach its target? The author uses enough math formulas in simple enough structures/examples to provide a sense of how the things work for those of us non-mathematicians interested in physics.
I though I should drop in one salient new idea (to me) for the paradigm for the beginning of the Universe as an alternative to the big bang and inflation or for Turok and Stein's (another Stein) colliding membrane theory.
With electrons being of the same charge and thus repelling other electrons, and protons having a positive charge and repelling the same as well, and for that matter with anti-matter in effect being oppositely charged to matter, one might get the idea that spin polarity and charge positive or negative are fundamental aspects of the particle waves of the universe that might apply to the very beginning.
One might believe that a suddenly charged field or membrane suddenly expanded being repelled from like similar particles. There are many basic characteristics of particles/waves that one might believe are pervasive throughout all of the Universe throughout its history.
How did the Universe expand faster than light for a brief fraction of a second? One answer could be that a phase transition occurred to an area like the sudden freezing of a like surface generally rather than from a particular point that provides a faster than light context regarding area or distance from the edge. A given volume or area of a neutral membrane perhaps packed like a Bose-Einstein condensate into neutrality may have been given a charged and repelled its newly minted individual constituent particle-waves area-wide throughout a given portion of the very packed space-time of a membrane-like 'singularity'.
The physicist Max Plank developed the formula E=hv a few years before Einstein used it to explain the photoelectric effect. The formula effectively began the field of quantum mechanics or the quantitization of energy implicitly with a time unit. Energy is emitted from the sub-atomic world only in quantum units rather than along an infinite irrational number paradigm continuum of release.
In the first second of the Universe space and time were very compact. One might even dismiss space as existing at all and simply regard time and space as subtler quantization values to small to regard as anything other than time or distance (space). Regardless, gravity as a force existing even between electrons and perhaps characteristics of an initial neutral field reduced through the beginning creation of a charged field breaking off is regarded as diminishing with the square of the distance, and of course one wonders how Newtons gravitational paradigm would apply to an uncertainty criterion of all possible world-lines or the subtle variation of gravity with the waves of very small mass and frequency particles.
Time compacted as an implicit feature of the neutral mass-anti-mass field membrane when T=0 in the history of the Universe might easily have been transcended from any particular 'center' point with the precipitation of a charge. The charged field non-locally originated followed by a matter-anti-matter reduction in the detached proto-universe would have experienced its own implicit gravitational and matter transformations even as the entire Universe might one day-after 7 billion 'years' be drawn toward the fundamental meta-universe creating the appearance of the expansion of space-time. The net 'positive' charge of the Universe with its matter may have a fundamental attraction to the neutral meta-verse thereby being drawn all over in however many dimensions to the non-charged meta-verse beyond mass-universe structure.
If one considers fundamental characteristics of physics to what the Universe appears to be today for philosophically inclined non-physicists-Boyle's law for instance on the expansion of gases or the laws of entropy it is reasonable to wonder about the mass expanding in the volume of the Universe toward an equal pressure while locally gravity makes it clump together. Though it is ordinary to regard the eventual heat death of the Universe through entropy to a very cold condition near or at absolute zero, it is interesting to consider the fact (as Stein points out in his book) that the Bose-Einstein condensate can be made of neutrons that effectively become one at absolute zero, and that below absolute zero might be a very high, hot number. Maybe its like an odometer turning over from its quantifiable highest number to zero and reverse.
It seems possible that with a very cold membrane perhaps attracted in particles, waves or probabilities toward absorption into a neutral meta-verse the potential for more local universal downloads to very high heat and expansion could exist.
Theistically none of this is inconsistent with the powers of God of which one might speculate about as readily as one might on potential forms and criteria for the creation of the Universe as a reduction from The One. One is led to wonder a bit however about the creation of mass or positive charge from a meta-verse; does it leave a an energy deficit in the meta-verse at all?
If quantum theories incremental step transformations of energy releases and levels can be applied to Newton and Einstein's gravitational criteria as quanta for themselves, one wonders how it might be defined spatially and with time transformations tossed in.

Modern Atheism’s Reliance On Developing Anti-theses to Classical Faith
It is paradoxical that modern atheism’s development of a consistent faithlessness in faith is largely reliant upon reactionary formation of the anti-thesis of faithlessness in disbelief to ancient doctrines. Atheists today do not consider the universe for-themselves as a place of wonder and philosophical curiosity, but preponderantly regard with inexpert opinion ancient doctrines dismissively and ‘awaken’ to a faithless secular opinion running aground to stay in the shoals of simple science.
For-itself the universe is a marvelous place of wonder. The ancients certainly found its beauty, majesty and awe-inspiring nature worthy of interest. They often made up best guesses about it workings and origin sometimes evolving through historical aggregation to become science. The brilliant turn-of-the-century formulas of Max Plank, Albert Einstein and others certainly changed the understanding of atoms, energy, quantum mechanics, light, space-time and cosmology. Like the ancients we see through a glass darkly and have reached the limits of observational sci8ence in the WMAP microwave mapp0ing of the residual heat at 3 degrees Kelvin from which one can look back nearly to the matter patterns near the beginning of the Universe when light could escape from the initial heat and density. One day our present point of view may be regarded as ancient equally to the conjectures of Parmenides, Democritus, Aristarchus, Copernicus and Newton. for some reason atheists associate ancient secular knowledge and interpretations or misinterpretations of the Bible with the veracity of God as-himself; a superfluous association as wrong as the idea that the final cosmological theory will be anything other than the last one made by a human being.
Even with the advance of scientific learning the Universe continues to be an unsounded, in-the-midst-of-nowhere package of miracle grow that cold have been designed by any number of intelligent beings from extra-Universal programmers of physics to God. In other words there is no natural support in cosmology based upon science for the atheist opinion. The atheist opinion is a prejudice.
God said to the Biblical prophet Jeremiah that ‘everyone knows who I am, they just forgets. Sartre might have phrased that sort of intentional forgetfulness ‘false-consciousness’. A human being in first-person judgment drawing upon science might easily conclude that God created the Universe and designed its quantum mechanical order of assembly.
Most contemporary atheists counter arguments for the existence of God with anti-thetic replies that the book of Genesis isn’t consistent with scientific facts relying for support for faithlessness on misunderstanding the book of Genesis.
A good author and poet named Rosenberg wrote two books (‘The J Book’ and ‘Abraham: The First Historical Biography’) on Genesis and its authors based on his own translation from Hebrew. The J writer-possibly a woman of royal position in Solomon or Rehoboam’s court drew on the existing scrolls and scriptures and her knowledge of ancient Sumer from whence Abraham journeyed to put together a composite book named Genesis that was added to by three subsequent writers of different eras. It is easily possible to fail to understand what the material given unto us today in Genesis means in reference to who wrote it, what they thought the material meant, and what it referred to then. It is also possible to fail to comprehend the relationship of Abraham to God and the way that Abraham got ‘up to speed’ in making it possible for him to have a relationship with god that the real Creator of the Universe might join.
If the Creator of the Universe ordered a quantum energy inflation consistent with Plank’s variable or Einstein’s General and Special Theories of Relativity comprehending that 14 billion space-time quantum year increments along a matrix of useful events Abraham would be ready to have a relationship with him as his personal God, how ought he then bring ‘the chosen people’ to develop a literary tradition to write about the acts of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses and etc in such a way that faith would be developed and continue and yet not be too disconcerting for future faithless anti-theists of 21st century America? That might seem like a tall order yet one not challenging for God.
While the emergent anti-theists seek to ascend the mountain of godlessness with ancient scripture they fail to understand as footholds to shimmy up from, scientific cosmology provides new support for people of faith that have learned better about the composition of ancient scripture and philosophically understand that the time literals are not a problem, but are relativistic motion quantum given meaning or values by God. A quantum mechanical universe set within uncertainty downloaded from a One compatible with the paradigm of unification like unto the neutrons of a Bose-Einstein condensate could be a nominal representation of the omniscient and omnipotent power of God to issue being. As Jesus Christ said the Universe is like a great tree growing is which every sort of bird might dwell (paraphrase).
