GOT INTO CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY
IM ON CLOUD NINE!!!!!!I LOVE YOU TL.NET

I am 24-12 on iccup w/ 2919 points. i am on the brink of reaching C- for the first time. For a long time i had hit a D+ brick wall, occasionally beating C level players and such, but never being able to win consistantly. Think of it as a Free-syndrome.
Not anymore. I went a monsterous (if i do say so myself) 17-9; and as i sat on my chair shocked and amazed i realized that it was time to give thanks to where it is due.

Thank you SuperJongMan for your amazing 4 gate 2 archon post. I have won many a PvZ using that EXACT BO.

Thank you Nevuk for your detailed 7mintue PvZ thread.

And last but not least Thank you Teamliquid as a whole for destroying my noobish mindset and replacing it with a calculating precise mechanic oriented mindset.

cheers

I was listening to a pastor speak when this one passage caught my attention. "There are events in the physical world that cannot be explained. Therefore it is PROOF that there is a supernatural being whom dictates how the world operates". (Dont ask me how i remember it, it was just so supremely absurd to me)

The above statement is both a logical fallacy as well as a bellweather on the education and common sense of religious figures in our society today.

I cannot agree with or disagree against the first part of the statment. "There are events in the physical world that cannot be explained." I am firmly rooted in the notion that science, while still primitive, will one day answer all the questions that human beings have to answer. Science provides a reliable method based on observation, logical reasoning and experimentation, for human beings to answer their quesions. While many of humanities quesions (ie. How was the universe formed, How was life seeded on earth ) cannot be explained as of now, i believe that future generation's will have the adequate technology to answer these question. But i digress. I cannot disagree or agree with that first statement because i have no independant access to the event described. (i.e i have never seen a "miracle") However the adjoining sentence "Therefore it is PROOF that there is a supernatural being whom dicates how the world operates" frankly makes no logical sense.
By explaining "part A" (There are events in the physical world that cannot be explained.) with "part B" (Therefore it is PROOF that there is a supernatural being whom dictates how the world operates) is ridiculous and a gross perversion of logic. If you dont understand something (Part A) YOU DONT UNDERSTAND IT. It is perfectly fine to say you dont understand something. However by saying Part B answers Part A is stupid and illogical. Saying that a lack of evidence proves the presence of a supernatural being is a contradiction and is akin to saying "I cant explain something , THEREFORE i can explain something".

PART A (There are events in the physical world that cannot be explained) -> PART B (Therefore it is PROOF that there is a supernatural being whom dictates how the world operates)

=

"I cant explain something" -> "Therefore i can explain it"
What you cannot answer is an anomaly. Nothing more. Just because you cannot answer something does not immediately make it "touched" by a supernatural being. It is just that. "You cannot explain it".
