And that is why people like Ed will always ignore my questions about the subject. They don't have good answers to how they know certain sensations mean what the think they mean. Just to be clear for some who always get this wrong, sensations mean any kind of experience one gets other then maybe thoughts, although they could also fall into that category. Sensations then can be any experience detected or produced by the brain.
Go ahead and keep up the self-congratulatory remarks. It's always great to see overconfidence on display at its finest.

Unfortunately, Chuck Norris thinks he *is* a theologian. Bruce Lee was an agnostic/atheist. He was too smart to stoop to theology.

I actually have great respect for many atheists, especially Richard Dawkins and James Randi and Michael Shermer, Hitchens etc. Especially the New Atheists. Gotta love the book God Delusion. Many Mormon Transhumanists actually love that book for many reasons. If I'm not mistaken. Lincoln Cannon, the former CEO of the Mormon Transhumanist Association actually quotes Dawkins and derives some logic for his New God Argument from it. I do a whole chapter of analysis/review on the Transhumanist implications of the arguments in the God Delusion in my book Nail of Heaven.

I depart with Dawkins and Hitchens on rejecting accommodation. I'm probably closer to Dennett. The remaining horseman (Harris) is a bit too Buddhist for my taste.

I love parts of Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism, etc.

Riiight, and with your deep analytical skills you see no problem with a rate of expansion that increases without bound.

Feel free to answer the question then. It's all up to you. I am always open to honest civil discussion.

Well, sir, its one thing to disagree with me, but I won't be mocked or heckled about the reality of my profession and my credentials and ability in my profession. I have dignity about my identity and honor that you have mocked, and you owe an apology for that.

Were you required to take calculus for scientists and engineers? If not, then I apologize. If so, then you should have received a failing grade.

Again, I don't accept your apology. It isn't sincere, and you have crossed a line sir.
