Green sunfish (four, 111–115mm) were housed individually in 19lrectangular glass aquaria on one side of a vertical acrylic partition. The single largemouthbass was in a similar 38l aquarium.
so they only tested 4 sunfish and one largemouth bass?

but, like in those videos we watched that talked about the different geologic periods, there are explanations for this - plus, they didn't really happen that suddenly, right? And I don't agree that science tries to cover them up

it is not quite so easy to introducealternatives to the notion of free will and responsibility thatpresently form an integral component of the judicial system
right now, before going further in the reading, I cannot think of a way that the judicial system would function without assuming that we do have free will
-
I suspect that we inherit a belief that free will is perfectlylogical, and therefore not worthy of questionin
Although I do personally think that we have free will, I found this to be interesting because if free will is not real, it makes a lot of sense why so many people would have a difficult time grasping the idea because we just believe in it without any question
-
...ahuman being has a degree of free will. That freedom is notradical, however, and it is curtailed by a number of internal andexternal events and constraints.”
I think I like this explanation the most, because I definitely agree that there our genetics and environments have certain unnavoidable impacts that we can't do anything about, but I don't think it's enough for us to not have free will at all
-
For this reason,I believe that free will is better defined as a belief that there is acomponent to biological behavior that is something more than theunavoidable consequences of the genetic and environmental his-tory of the individual and the possible stochastic laws of nature.
Doesn't the fact that we wake up every day and decide what to have for breakfast, and can make different decisions each day, mean that we do have free will?
-
on theassumption that people can make choices that do not simply reflecta summation of their genetic and environmental history
In my opinion, before having really read the article, I think that a person's genetic and environmental history can offer some insight into why a person chose to do a certain thing, but in the end they still chose to do it

The transmitter will scan and disassemble the victim and send an unheard mes-sage to the inoperative receiver. The original person will be dead.
This is an interesting point - if something goes wrong during the process and the person "dies", does that mean that the true them is dying either way?
-
If it is I who am being copied, the copy, though it may think of itself as me, is simply a self-deluded imposter. If the copying process destroys the original, then I have been killed.
I'm not sure what I think about this argument, because I completely understand it on one hand and on the other I can see how it can be argued that the physical body doesn't matter if the mind can be copied

The very concept of you will become fuzzy, replaced by larger, communal egos.
But I thought the point was for you to live on forever? What's the point if it's only this fuzzy idea of you?

But our inability to find a naturalistic
I often think that anything that we do not understand in terms of science we will one day be able to understand once we have a better grasp on the science that is at play

I would think that being "perfectly merciful" and "perfectly just" means that he is one or the other of those things when it's warranted, and not both at the same time
-
In both cases one istrying to explain the unknown in terms of the incomprehensible, and that can never increase our understanding
I have always thought that religion is something that was used to explain things that science can explain before we had the scientific background needed to understand them, and this seems to argue a similar idea

There are good reasons for believing that the universe does nothave a cause, however. Edward Tryon and others have suggested that the universe is the result of a vacuum fluctuation.
this touches on something that I was thinking as I read, which is that I feel that this argument is ignoring several possibilities outside of just a God
-
Since nothing can cause itself, and since the string of causes can't be infinitely long, there must be a first cause, namely, God.
I do understand the idea here, however I always thought of this way of thinking to be reserved for those who do not believe in science
-
Although this is a major scientific achievement, many believe that it has the'ological implications as well. Specifically, they believe that it provides scientific evidence for the existence of God
this is an interesting idea to me because I always thought of "the big bang" being the scientific explanation and creationism being the theological explanation, with little or no overlap between the two

Kuhn’s view, scientists don't discover the nature of reality; they create it. There is no way the world is, for each paradigm makes its own world
If this is true, then why is so much of science repeatable in different experiments with different experimenters conducting them?
-
In Feyerabend’s view, science is a religion, for it rests on certain dogmas that cannot be rationally justified. Thus, accepting it requires a leap of faith
I can understand in some cases why accepting science could be considered a leap of faith. However, if done correctly, scientific claims are never made without evidence and data to back them up, so in that way a leap of faith is not needed because the information is right in front of you

While the parents of a six-year-old child can decide to have him instructed in the rudiments of Protestantism, or in the rudiments of the Jewish faith, or to omit religious instruction altogether, they do not have a similar freedom in the case of the sciences.
In my opinion, science and history and other subjects that are consistenly taught in schools are based on fact, while religion is very much based on speculation and beliefs differ between certain religions. However, subjects that are based on fact can still be taught with certain biases, so emphasis should be placed on ridding curriculums of these biases

The rise of modern science coincides with the suppression of non-Western tribes by Western invaders. The tribes are not only physically suppressed, they also lose their intellectual independence and are forced to adopt the bloodthirsty religion of brotherly love -Christianity. The most intelligent members get an extra bonus: they are introduced into the mysteries of Western Rationalism and its peak -Western Science.
This is an interesting point that I had never considered, because I personally am very against a person spreading their personal religious views in non-Western areas (mission trips) however I never thought about how that might also apply to advanced science that is brought also surpresses traditions
-
. Myth is much closer to science than one would expect from a philosophical discussion. It iscloser to science than even Horton himself is prepared to admit.
I don't know if I entirely understand the point that he's making here, because myths are things that are untrue and while things in science can and often are disproven, they are still theories that are based off of facts
-
Science took over byforce,not by argument
I'm not entirely sure I know what this means, but I think he might be suggesting that science is not grounded on fact, aka the truth of it hasn't been fairly argued? Which I don't agree with

I like the idea of science and religion being viewed as different windows on the same universe, because I generally have not considered science and religion to be compatible but if they are thought of as two completely separate ideas rather than two conflicting ideas trying to explain the same thing, then I think they can more easily coexist

e most natural objection to this first argument is that while it might be true that some of ourbeliefs do lead to actions that can be devastating for others, in reality most of what we believe isprobably inconsequential for our fellow humans.
When I first read this, I thought it seemed like a naive perspective, and then the rest of the paragraph supported that point of view

But as the evil entailed by holding a belief grows greater, so does the responsibility of holding it, and when that evil is overwhelming and unquestionable, the belief too must be unquestionable or the act is fiendish
I really like the way this is worded for putting into perspective the personal responsibility we have to take with our beliefs
-
orquemada would have admitted the suffering. But he would have pointed out that in his view the consequences included very much more; they included the cleansing from Spain of human plague
I think this is a small-minded view that too many people have...he may have thought that the consequences included much more, but why did he feel that was his decision solely to make?

The ontological argument: God's existence follows necessarily from a definition of what He is
I don't really understand this argument because we as humans created the concept of God so how is saying that the way we define God is enough evidence for his existence convincing?
-
Most forms of Judaism (as well as the various forms of Christianity and Islam) say "Yes", but many modern people no longer will blindly accept such claims.
I think, in the modern world, this is an issue with "simple faith"...people are less inclined to easily accept things without a convincing explanation now
-
In practice, while religious people claim to affirm this belief as true, most have never seriously considered the question "What is God?"
I think this is a really important point because I think that a lot of people have a very blind belief in God without ever really considering what that truly means
