lol... you make a lot of assumptions, mostly false ones.

But hey, that does keep you from having to look at the info presented you in the links you've been given.... which you would check out on any other subject.

All I really hear are the same old "New Atheist" arguments that haven't gotten any better with age.

We have different opinions on this subject, but I know mine are opinions, beliefs, faiths.

You say those are, 'absurd', because you appear to have certainty that you know the truth. And it's no fun debating people who are fundamentalists, as you can see from politics.

My response, however, is that meaning in the form of the Laws of Physics, and in the fine-tuning of the universe, which can be found in almost every new discovery we make in the cosmology, suggests meaning which suggests mind.

- a false syllogism.

A hypothesis.

As in any science, we might ask how something we observe could exist. We observe a material universe that could not create itself, and propose that it could be created by something non-material.

Because as any mathematician will tell you, X cannot create itself.

And your answers are at the link, Grassnoofer.

The claims you make are that anyone who disagrees with your OPINION is being, "absurd".

Just as any fundamentalist does.

X cannot create X, where X is the material universe.

Where X is a non-material being, then Y as the material universe could be created.

And those are some of his better points!

What happens in Trump January 6 criminal case IF the Supreme Court delays it
From CNN's Katelyn Polantz

That will be the all-important question for the courts following this Supreme Court hearing.

With the justices appearing during oral arguments to congeal around the need to sketch out the lines of protection around the presidency for official acts, the high court seems poised to direct lower courts to work on the issues in the Trump federal criminal case around January 6, 2021, more.

But that could go in several directions. It could mean District Judge Tanya Chutkan makes decisions following this Supreme Court case opinion, and moves Trump quickly to trial, potentially even before the election. Another possibility is the Supreme Court's decision could set up a process for a trial potentially months from now, after additional appeals court reviews -- and, as Trump hopes, delays.

Not every legal question in a criminal case can be appealed before trial, and most questions could not delay a jury from hearing a case.
Presidential immunity is one of the rare questions the courts need to figure out before a trial. (The other relates to double jeopardy issues.)

In this case, if the justices send Trump back down to the trial court helmed by Chutkan, she may need to work out if the allegations in the indictment fall under official acts of the presidency or not.

Theoretically, Trump could then potentially appeal a decision. But for another round of appeals to be helpful to his delay strategy, Trump would need to convince appellate judges -- perhaps at both the DC Circuit Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court -- to put an emergency hold on his trial to prevent it from taking place. He may also need to convince the appeals courts they have the ability -- called jurisdiction -- to hear the legal questions again before a trial.

There are many ways this could go and every step could be a nail-biter for timing, from the Supreme Court decision in this case on.

Supreme Court doesn't seem willing to give Trump absolutely immunity, but may not immediately green-light a criminal trial
From CNN's John Fritze

The Supreme Court appeared to be searching for a middle ground Thursday in response to former President Donald Trump's claims of sweeping immunity, unwilling to grant him the broad protections he has sought but also unwilling to give special counsel Jack Smith carte blanche to pursue his election subversion charges.

Trump's attorney, John Sauer, acknowledged that some of his client's actions following the 2020 election were private, and likely not entitled to immunity " an important concession that could help the special counsel.

But the justices also aggressively pressed Smith's attorney on his own position, suggesting they would likely send the case back to a District Court for more review " and, potentially, far more delay.

Michael Dreeben, representing Smith, came under heavy fire from several of the court's conservatives, including Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who questioned whether the laws Trump is accused of violating can be applied to a former president and whether an appeals court decision that found Trump was not entitled to immunity would have dramatic consequences for democracy.

Justice Samuel Alito pressed Dreeben on whether his position would "not lead us into a cycle that destabilizes the functioning of our country as a democracy."

Alito, a conservative, said the nation could look to other countries where, after an election, "the loser gets thrown in jail."

The court's liberals, including Justice Sonia Sotomayor, appeared to align behind Smith's position. "A stable democratic society needs the good faith that it's public officials," Sotomayor said.

Oral arguments suggest that the Supreme Court may not totally resolve the Trump immunity case
From CNN's Tierney Sneed

The Supreme Court hearing so far is a mixed bag for both sides.

On the one hand, its seems clear that the court is unwilling to dismiss the case against Donald Trump outright, as he ostensibly is asking the justices to do, based on his sweeping theory of presidential immunity.

On the other hand, several justices appear skeptical of how the special counsel is framing the case.

It's possible they will render a ruling that could require several more months of lower court proceedings before the case against Trump can go to trial. That could put the possibility of a pre-election trial fully out of reach, raising the possibility that Trump will be reelected and make the case against him go away.

Updates at the link

The rwing justices don't want to talk about THIS case, they want to talk about abstractions on what might happen in other cases.

They also want to paint scenarios, like, well what if the Pres held a Civil Rights sit in and that impeded the Electoral count.... ROFL!

These people are bought and are staying bought on the Right.

Live at the thread link.

Currently, Trump lawyer getting slapped around, lol.

Theatre of the Truly Absurd.

I got it... Georgia Pee Nuts!

you just bring out the best in me, Clowny lol

Georgia on my hind?

"Defendants and unindicted coconspirators schemed to prevent the lawful transfer of the presidency to keep Unindicted Coconspirator 1 in office against the will of Arizona's voters," the 58-page indictment reads.

The names of seven of the defendants, including Meadows, Giuliani and Epshteyn, are redacted, but the document makes clear who they are by describing their roles. Others include attorneys John Eastman, Jenna Ellis and Christina Bobb, as well as Trump 2020 campaign operative Mike Roman.

Ken Chesebro, an attorney who helped devise Trump's post-election strategy, is described as "unindicted coconspirator 4."

from the Politico link, also there's a link to the Indictment there

Would that be a Golden State shower?

"Each of the 11 Arizona fake electors " Tyler Bowyer, Nancy Cottle, Jake Hoffman, Anthony Kern, Jim Lamon, Robert Montgomery, Samuel Moorhead, Loraine Pellegrino, Greg Safsten, Kelli Ward and Michael Ward " face nine felony counts for conspiracy, fraudulent schemes and artifices and forgery."

AND

"An Arizona grand jury has indicted 18 allies of Donald Trump for their efforts to subvert the 2020 election " including former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Boris Epshteyn.

The indictment, which includes felony counts of conspiracy, fraud and forgery, also describes Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator."

What they say about her, they should be saying about her Boss, Mr. Trumpy.

She doesn't take a leak without asking him first.

The material universe (X) cannot create itself.

An eternal, non-material entity could.

Time being a human concept and all.

Of course, a fundamentalist who KNOWS everything there is to know, would say that's absurd.

Because they KNOW the TRUTH... just as any fundie theist does.

Christians, otoh, and agnostics, aren't that self-absorbed. Nor that self-deluded.

There are, arguably, better arguments for the existence of God than there are for a lot of other things, including multiverses.

Here's a brief one now, recorded at the Oxford Union by a leading scholar of pure mathematics, that you won't listen to:

Filing false business records is a crime no matter the underlying election laws, which are notoriously hard to prosecute... because they are written by politicians who don't want to be prosecuted.

Whether the AG makes the charges stick or not, just the first day of testimony showing the extent of Trump's disregard for the truth in the lies he told his followers, and his disregard for the truth in general; paying off a news source to hide and manufacture facts for him... is worth the price of admission.

And there's lot's more exposure to come.

Including trans Jeffebelle's love child with Trump that the Doorman got 30K to fergit, lol.

"Marvin Harrison Jr., WR " Ohio State
Projected draft pick: Top 5

You'd have to be living under a rock to make it this far in the process without hearing about Marvin Harrison Jr. He's been on the draft radar for the last three years as one of the most vaunted receiver prospects since Randy Moss or Calvin Johnson.

Harrison Jr. has his dad's elite route-running skills, but he's more athletic than Pops was. A unicorn of a player, MHJ has the ability to make a quarterback better purely by the mismatches he creates on the outside.

You're going to be hearing his name for a long time to come."

'

Should be an interesting draft for non-pro sports snobs.

I just heard Bucky Brooks tell David Helman (former Cowboys Media, now Fox)... that in a strictly bidness sense, Dallas should take Michael Penix, QB U Washington @ Pick 24, and let someone else pay Dak his $60 million a year next year.

That would be the biggest story in the Draft... that almost surely won't happen, ;o)

Kind of a reflection of the US House of Reps; you need Dems to help Repubs defeat their crazies.

The lesson being that Donald Trump is an even worse human being than is Ted Cruz.

Which is saying a lot.

"There is zero evidence for other universes. So the biggest misconception about the multiverse is that it's a bone fide theory that's been proven.

"It isn't - it doesn't really have a mathematical basis - it is a collection of ideas," said Lewis.

"In the cycle of science it remains at the hypothesis stage and needs to become a robust proposition before we can truly understand the consequences."
