- 50 Renowned Academics speaking about God:
Sexuality
- A study at Utah State University reveals that constant porn viewers don’t change their mental state. Instead, it comes down to controlling one’s porn consumption and the results are interesting: the more they try to control their urge for sex or porn (mainly from moral or religious reasons), the more likely they were to consider their own pornography use a problem. Indeed, it might actually strengthen the urge for it and exacerbate sexual problems. The effects of pornography—positive or negative—have little to do with the medium itself and everything to do with the person viewing it.
Technology
- Need to check your sodium and glucose levels? There’s an app for that. But first, you need to get a special tattoo.
- Jae Rhim Lee has designed a suit where mushrooms will eat her body once she dies.
Interesting video from the 50 renowned academics. I wish they had time to lay out their arguments in more detail. Here are the arguments I was able to identify 1: the Problem of evil, 2: Divine Hiddenness, 3: The success of the natural sciences in explaining all phenomena, 4: the presumption of atheism in the absence of evidence. Can you identify any other arguments put forth by the 50 here?
I think you got most of them. I couldn’t see any other arguments brought forth.
