yeah actually it is.

basically any system

 atheist
religious
scientific

Are  all belief systems.

Science does require repeatable independent experiments 🧫.

But still involves belief that repeatable independent experiments are not a simple trick done by a god or gods.

...

This is for anyone, but mostly for atheists who rely on science.

Assuming that your idea of God is partially comprehensible, how can you be sure of anything in absolution? Let us not confine ourselves to those known unknowns, but expand our horizons to search for the unknown unknowns.

I do wonder, however, why the bible is a beacon or anchor of absolute information.
Considering the fact that there doesn't seem to be any divine intervention against the possibility of alterations thereof, it seems odd to place such a degree of power upon such a piece of literature.

Let us observe this case:

Let the original bible in its purest form be decreed B.
Early civilizations happen upon B and transcribe the contents onto a copy: B₀.
Apart from having been man-made, B₀ is indistinguishable from B.
Through circumstance, the original text B is lost and irrecoverable.
Future transcriptions are fitted to a variety of languages, of which differ in semantics and syntax.
Due to these differences, increased variation in interpretation between B₀ and its successors is inevitable.
Unfortunately, through passage of time, B₀ and successors continually decay and are eventually unreadable.
Despite best efforts, human error occurs, reducing accuracy between transcriptions by up to 1% for each iteration.
As B_i approaches infinity (where i := iteration #) we note that the probability of having B_i representative of the original text B approaches 0 in response.

One final remark: if we cannot pragmatically distinguish the empirical relevance of an object X's existence as opposed to its non-existence, then whether it exists or whether it does not exist is of no relevance to our lives.

That is, if you can't consistently measure any result derived from a belief in a proposition P, then its truth value is of no pragmatic significance.
Example: toilet demons exist and will eat your flesh, but only in the year 3000.

If the proof of existence is rooted in the object's definition itself, then the object has no foundation except for itself.
If we accept such a tautological concept, then there should be no reason to further disbelieve anything.
If we simply redefine any object X as "X, and also it exists," then we have created the required evidence.

Unfortunately, a system based on such logic would be subject to inconsistencies. Infinitely many inconsistencies, in fact.
For example, consider objects A and B. We have already applied the existence clause to both of these objects, thereby proving their existence.
Now, we consider objects A₀ and B₀.
A₀ := "A, but only if B₀ does not exist"
B₀ := "B, but only if A₀ does not exist"

Which takes precedence? It seems unclear.

Open discussion. Not about what can/should governments do, or who the bad guys are. Assume it's as bad as the Great Influenza of 1918, but we know more now, and we're going to do better this time.

A small percentage will die, many - some that you know and some that you don't know - will be quarantined.

What can you do to help?

If we are talking about religion - then any religion only partially leads to the same God. After all, God is one. Moreover, God is not the opposite of science and technology. God can be called the Universe, Energy, Love, or otherwise, these are all different sides of the same. God cannot be understood by the mind (it is not something physical or material). This is what lies beyond the understanding of man in this world. However, we can strive for God through Love or through kindness, etc.
After our death, freed from the physical body (and from our other bodies, such as the astral, mental, etc.), we are reunited with God and only then we can understand what it is. In this world it is impossible to understand, only partially.
When we live our life in harmony with ourselves and with the people around us, with the whole world, when we love, when we control our mind and use it only for the good, when we live in heart and soul - then we are in continuous conversation with God (or at least strive for Him).

Actually, I'm kinda happy that you are so self-contradictory.

(referencing the Huanan wet market in Wuhan)

That first video is 100% not filmed in China at all, look at the sign 20 seconds in, look at what they're wearing, listen to the chatter - is it Vietnamese?
The second has some footage from China yay, and some of it may be Wuhan.
Having said all that, sure you could buy bat and snake at Huanan before it was closed down.

The God Who created the universe that operates perfectly, never failing in even one tiny law of physics. This God is perfect. The fact that He is perfect in everything and throughout Himself, shows that He is holy.

ROFL.

Ask your God to post here.

Or there are some things your Almighty Supreme Intelligence cannot do?  So much for Almighty, and so much for Intelligence, never mind the Supreme Intelligence, LOL.

I dare you and your God.  Do shit in this world, don't just sit in the ozone layer on your wooden trone, or wherever your devotees think you are hiding today.
  
Eliminate cancer, AIDS, birth defects, then we'll talk.

God, you little piece of shit, come out and post my PIN number, or strike BADecker so that he cannot write nonsense anymore.

Strike me for all I care. LOL.  Let's go, motherfucker.

See, nothing happens.

I went with bats.

...

I mean in the poll, not any other context.

I'm covering what we all know, but... the Lancet is pretty reputable, and their article the other week is quite persuasive. It's summarised here, too. A small sample of gene sequences from 9 patients in China were 99.98% identical... so very little mutation of the virus since it moved to humans, which suggests it moved to humans only extremely recently. "This finding suggests that 2019-nCoV originated from one source within a very short period and was detected relatively rapidly."
The one source, as widely reported... Huanan seafood market seems to be the common location. It does say that bats weren't sold there - but obviously no-one can verify that. Perhaps they were selling bats under the counter? Hanging from the counter. Small font because it's a bad joke. Sorry.

But if they in fact didn't sell any bats, then bat>pangolin>human does seem a likely path... they found 99% similarity between the virus in humans and that in pangolins, so... I am tempted by pangolins (in the poll). I know pangolins are trafficked for wacky 'alternative medicine', but I wasn't aware that people eat them, too.

Also I think SARs went bats>civets>humans, which does provide at least some evidence that people tend to get bat diseases via an intermediary species, so perhaps there is an aversion to eating bats directly.

Mechanical technicians build cars and rockets and computers. Bio-virus technicians build biological warfare viruses.

Who has more control over what they are doing? The technicians who are not involved with microscopic life... the mechanical technicians.

Bio-virus technicians often don't know what the results of what they are doing will be. They learn, but life is such a complex machine that they don't know enough to really know the results... for sure, long term results.

But, understand one thing. The machinery of life was built by God, the Creator of all things. And, He has left Himself observations of and controls over of everything... that is, REAL controls over everything. He also desires freedom for people.

Because God is in control, and because he wants freedom for people, and because He observes everything, the only way for us to keep our freedom is to freely come to know God, and to have a free and right relationship with Him. There are 3 ways that God introduces Himself to us, so that we hopefully get into a right relationship with Him:
1. Offering it to us through the Bible;
2. Allowing pain to come to us so that we turn to Him for help;
3. Destroying those who will not accept Him, so that those who do accept will not be influenced to turn away from Him.

All the good things, all the happiness in life, all the bad things, all the trouble in life, exists controlled by God, so that people will come to a right relationship with God. God controls it all for this purpose. A right relationship with God is the only way to a right and good life.

The burden of proof is on the atheists. Why? Because we all know that machinery doesn't come into existence without a machine maker. And machine universe is so complex that the universe Maker would only fit our description of "God." Indeed, our description of God is far too small. God is tremendously great beyond any way we can describe Him.

Why does all the "stuff" that your Conclusion is the conclusion of fail? Because the results are God if you add the fact of the universe machine. You can't get correct answers with only part of the equation.

Religion was around way longer than science. You are doing a trick-twist. Science validates religion that religion is right. It works like this. Back in the 1950s...

Three guys individually stopped at the same hotel at the same time. Each asked for a room. The clerk behind the desk told them that there was only one room left. They could draw straws for it, or they could share it. The guys decided to share it.

The clerk charged them $30 for the room - $10 apiece. They went up to their room.

Later, the clerk felt guilty for charging the guys so much, so he gave the bellboy $5 to return to the guys as a refund. On the way up in the elevator, the bellboy couldn't figure out how to divide $5 evenly between 3 guys, so, he decided to keep $2 as a tip.

The bellboy gave each of the guys a dollar back. This means that each guy paid only $9. Three times nine is $27, plus the $2 that the bellboy kept makes $29. What happened to the 30th dollar?


Science validates that religion is right. You simply twist the final answer.

Science and religion is somehow connected to one onther but at so many point they have differences.  One is in science to see it to believe.  As long as they didnt see it they do not believe on it.  While in religion even it cannot seen by our naked eyes we still believe on such thing.

Is not your car your property? And are you not a free man/woman in a free country? I think Government should pay us to get licensed and to have our vehicle licensed.

What do you think?

Do you remember that book, "You Are What You Eat?" This works mentally as well as physically. Continue to believe you are going to die young, and you probably will.

Devolution is the reality. Evolution is a hoax.

GαsEdit

Gαs activates the cAMP-dependent pathway by stimulating the production of cyclic AMP (cAMP) from ATP. This is accomplished by direct stimulation of the membrane-associated enzyme adenylate cyclase. cAMP can then act as a second messenger that goes on to interact with and activate protein kinase A (PKA). PKA can phosphorylate a myriad downstream targets.

The cAMP-dependent pathway is used as a signal transduction pathway for many hormones including:

ADH – Promotes water retention by the kidneys (created by the magnocellular neurosecretory cells of the posterior pituitary)GHRH – Stimulates the synthesis and release of GH (somatotropic cells of the anterior pituitary)GHIH – Inhibits the synthesis and release of GH (somatotropic cells of anterior pituitary)CRH – Stimulates the synthesis and release of ACTH (anterior pituitary)ACTH – Stimulates the synthesis and release of cortisol (zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal glands)TSH – Stimulates the synthesis and release of a majority of T4 (thyroid gland)LH – Stimulates follicular maturation and ovulation in women; or testosterone production and spermatogenesis in menFSH – Stimulates follicular development in women; or spermatogenesis in menPTH – Increases blood calcium levels. This is accomplished via the parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1) in the kidneys and bones, or via the parathyroid hormone 2 receptor (PTH2) in the central nervous system and brain, as well as the bones and kidneys.Calcitonin – Decreases blood calcium levels (via the calcitonin receptor in the intestines, bones, kidneys, and brain)Glucagon – Stimulates glycogen breakdown in the liverhCG – Promotes cellular differentiation, and is potentially involved in apoptosis.[21]Epinephrine – released by the adrenal medulla during the fasting state, when body is under metabolic duress. It stimulates glycogenolysis, in addition to the actions of glucagon.GαiEdit

Gαi inhibits the production of cAMP from ATP. eg. somatostatin,prostaglandins

Gαq/11Edit

Gαq/11 stimulates the membrane-bound phospholipase C beta, which then cleaves PIP2 (a minor membrane phosphoinositol) into two second messengers, IP3 and diacylglycerol (DAG). The Inositol Phospholipid Dependent Pathway is used as a signal transduction pathway for many hormones including:

ADH (Vasopressin/AVP) – Induces the synthesis and release of glucocorticoids (Zona fasciculata of adrenal cortex in kidney); Induces vasoconstriction (V1 Cells of Posterior pituitary)TRH – Induces the synthesis and release of TSH (Anterior pituitary)TSH – Induces the synthesis and release of a small amount of T4 (Thyroid Gland)Angiotensin II – Induces Aldosterone synthesis and release (zona glomerulosa of adrenal cortex in kidney)GnRH – Induces the synthesis and release of FSH and LH (Anterior Pituitary)Gα12/13EditGα12/13 are involved in Rho family GTPase signaling (see Rho family of GTPases). This is through the RhoGEF superfamily involving the RhoGEF domain of the proteins' structures). These are involved in control of cell cytoskeleton remodeling, and thus in regulating cell migration.GβEditThe Gβγ complexes sometimes also have active functions. Examples include coupling to and activating G protein-coupled inwardly-rectifying potassium channels.


Hlm ok 


Still its mostly empirical study

In a study of 203 male and female university students, participants with short (308-325 bp) vs. long (327-342) versions of RS3 were less generous, as measured by lower scores on both money allocations in the dictator game, as well as by self-report with the Bardi-Schwartz Universalism and Benevolence Value-expressive Behavior Scales; although the precise functional significance of longer AVPR1A RS3 repeats is not known, they are associated with higher AVPR1A postmortem hippocampal mRNA levels.[9]
