I think blaming them rushing into a team movie is a bit of an easy out. If JL was a good movie, it'd have been fine and made a bunch of money

Each of their solo movies perform better and turn out better than the team movie. What does that tell you?

ok so he's trolling right

Game was pretty mediocre.

It's not bad but there is nothing to do and the extra stuff is kinda boring

If I get a decent story and can swing around for hours while intoxicated, I'm down.

Critic reviews don't mean box office failure. Have you done an analysis on how well these films perform? Have you gathered stats on how many movies they make that are original versus reboot/sequel?

There is nothing wrong with believing in some sort of divine being as long as you don't let that belief affect what you believe in the realm of science. Like if you believe that God exists outside everything we understand about the universe, but that your job as a scientist is to study the world as we can observe and test it. Your religion affects your beliefs in philosophy and morality but not the natural world or science.

I don't think there's anything wrong with a scientist like that.

However too frequently Christians think they should be able to take what they believe based on their gut and the bible and have it get the same level of credence as the large body of knowledge that science has built. Often they think their criticisms and doubts based on a very superficial knowledge of evolution should be enough to topple something that millions of people have devoted their lives to studying and building.

They are wrong, and so is the TC of course.

There's a lot wrong in your understanding to begin with.

First off, scientists don't believe some alien dropped off a seed. That's not something that has any merit.

Not finding life in the millions and trillions of stars is not proof of anything. We can't observe much further than our own solar system. Thus we have no way to prove life on those other stars. There could be a whole civilization on one of the planets in our immediate neighborhood's stars but that doesn't mean we'll ever detect them or vice versa given the immense distances.

Replacing a specific unproven claim with a broader, more general unproven claim does not necessarily make it more plausible.

I think it does. The more specific a god gets, the less likely it is to exist, because it's more obviously man-made.

If one believes that Helios rides a chariot along the sky to make the sun rise, that's obviously untrue and can be proven to be so.

If someone else believes that YHWH, a male god, personally speaks to humans, gets involved in worldly affairs, and can physically manifest in the world but is essentially unseen and unknowable, that's more believable than Helios, but still pretty unbelievable.

However, if someone thinks that an unseen, prenatural force jump-started the universe and then left the universe - never to interact with it again, that's the most believable version of god.

The less specific claims and characteristics a god has, the more likely it is to exist.

evolution is not a full track in itself but no, I do find it plausible. What I don't find plausible, is the idea that everything works on luck alone. Was the universe created solely by 'luck'? Is the laws of nature all just made by 'luck'? This 'luck' would be required out of an infinite infinite amount of possibilities.

How can that be? Unless someone picked out that very one possibility that lead to everything forming as it is today?

Consider how long the earth has existed. 4.5 billion years. Consider how big the universe is. How many chances do you think life has to try at life over this time and space? When looking at the probability of stuff of stuff like this, you need to consider the amount of opportunities you have at it.

Think about the mega millions. Yeah if you just buy one ticket, your odds are trash. However, every single person in the world gets a ticket. And if no one wins, every single person gets a ticket again. And this continues for 4.5 billion years. What are the odds that someone DOESN'T win after all this time? Practically zero. Now the odds of life creation is much worse than the lottery, but you just need to think about how crazy the number of opportunities is. A near infinite amount of space over billions and billions of years. A once in a billion shot doesn't mean much if you are taking billions of shots.

Really? You seriously can't see how it's more reasonable to believe in simply another species on another planet as opposed to a supernatural being?

But if you were to ignore religion and all its teachings however and focus solely on the possibility of a divine existence, then it sounds more plausible, doesn't it?

the problem is believing that life is even emerges out of something. If you go with that flow of belief, then you're already restricting yourself in your perception and explanations of the universe. I find that the biggest problem many scientists have.

They only restrict themselves to the BELIEF that everything works only according to nature. They utterly refuse to include any possibility of an intelligent design, which makes sense, since that can literally never be proven anyway. But that doesn't mean...it isn't a possibility and thus, not possibly true.

Well, if you can demonstrate a reason to believe in something beyond nature that interferes with it, then please present it. Otherwise, one should not accept the claims of either the interfering agent's existence or proposed actions.

I'm not against the idea of a greater being. But you hand me those ones that you came up with so far and I'm like "nah do better".

I'm not exactly that religious but I've been studying up on evolution and how life began and honestly, the way it works is kinda just as ludicrous as how some perceive religion to be.

But if you were to ignore religion and all its teachings however and focus solely on the possibility of a divine existence, then it sounds more plausible, doesn't it? No religion, just the existence of a divine being.

What about evolution do you find not plausible?

No honest scientist "believes aliens exist" in the same way that people "believe in god." We don't know if there's life somewhere else in the universe. Now, some scientists and other think that their might be extraterrestrial life. The basic idea is that if life is capable of emerging somewhere (here), then it's capable of emerging elsewhere. But we don't actually know that aliens are really out there. Assuming that they are would be incorrect, and downright unprofessional for a proper scientist.

Although, at the very least, the idea that aliens exist is more reasonable than the idea that a god exists, if for no other reason than "alien" has a clear and coherent definition.

Because the existence of a God requires the defial of all and any known laws of science to exist, by its very nature. The same is not true for aliens - their mere existence does not require any laws of nature to be broken, and fundamentally could exist.

Because an alien life form is something that we could actually comprehend. It'd be similar to us but from a different planet. God is this super abstract thing. His/her existence is a constant paradox, and the explanation we always get is that God is a higher life form that exists outside of our rules.

It absolutely amazes me that Bethesda thought a Fallout game without human NPCs was a good idea.

And the map looks very similiar to FO4.

I agree with everything but this.

The map looks nothing like the Commonwealth.

Also it's beyond me why Bethesda is so clingy to their ridiculous Gamebryo engine (I dont call what stupid name they call it this time, it's still Gamebryo).

The engine really limits everything they build on. Their open world is as extremely small as always and cities look like towns filled with just a few residents that I'm pretty sure even a caveman community is freaking larger than that. Meanwhile villages look more like a small family living in a few houses.

God I hope TES VI uses a new engine...maybe that's why it's taking so long compared to the previous games

"we want fallout 4 with multiplayer" - Fans
"not like this" - Fans

And why do you even need a gun for self defense?
'Because there are others that may attack me with a gun too!'

Defensive scenarios aren't exclusive to attackers with a gun...

id be worried about 1000 other things that can kill you through-out a normal day than a gun. stay out of certain areas and the chances of dying by a bullet drop to nearly 0.

if someone wants to kill they will find a way. even in gunless nations, they have knives

stick to credit card topics, yeah?

probably a divine being out there but who are we to know

for me there is lmao
