Maybe we should cut the atheists some slack here. After all, they have conceded that “There probably is no God.” I take this to mean that they have finally caught up with the theory of quantum mechanics formulated in the 1920s. Now that they are stating reality in terms of “probabilities”, they’re only about 85 years behind the rest of us.
As for the young lady in the interview, she was “probably” hot. Of course, THAT means that she has finite probabilities of existing simultaneously in both the “hot babe” and the “dogfaced bowser” states of existence.
At that juncture, it would seem to be a good place to ask collie if he has any comments on the “matter”.
My collie says:
You realize, of course, that if I try to investigate in order to determine the young woman’s actual state of existence, my tampering will irreversably alter the outcome.
I’m not sure AllahPundit wants to take that chance. I think he has “the hots” for her.

It's atheists who developed quantum mechanics in the 1920, and you retards still haven't caught on.
I want a picture of a "dogfaced bowser." I mean, Bowser as he appears in Super Mario 64, with a golden retriever poorly photoshopped (or even MS Painted) onto his visage. I would settle for the Super Mario Galaxy version if the dog was cute enough.
As an atheist, I only concede that the non-existence of gods is a probability because it cannot be absolutely proven that a god doesn't exist. It is overwhelmingly probable that no gods exist, but one cannot state it as an absolutely proven assertion.
It is dead certain that the God of the Bible does not exist. No knowledge of quantum mechanics is require to show that.
I think Cyber is referring to Statistics rather than quantum mechanics. Specifically, I think he has some vague idea about Schrodinger's Cat which may have triggered associations with dogs. How a young woman gets into the picture, I have no idea.
Wow, reading that comment section hurt my brain. This guy spews a lot of other nonsense there as well.
The site is atheist, guess he is one of thier resident trolls.
Look, you believe in supernatural entities and atheists don't. So quit mumping. I know it's frustrating that you'll never be likely to convert an atheist. That's the way things are. All this fol-de-rol and half-arsed attempts at seeming reasonable and intellectual don't amount to anything more than twee shenanigans. The facts are:-
There is no god and it definitely does not exist.
The bible contains errors and is inconsistent.
There is no heaven and there is no hell.
There are no angels, demons and devils or satan.
The bible is immoral and unethical.
The bible is no use as a guide to anything.
The bible is a XXX tome.
Religions are vast edifices of monstrous evil.
Prayers and praying are completely ineffectual.
Religions contain massive reserves of stupidity.
Religions are huge repositories of cant and dogma.
Religion and hypocrisy are forever hopelessly entwined.
Fundamental Christianity is not a lover of humanity and is inhumane.
Christian fundamentalists display a remarkable degree of hatred and bigotry that they are unconcerned about trying to hide.
Christian fundamentalists have no tolerance of others outside of their cults.
Christian fundamentalists have neither liking, nor, indeed, a penchant, for logic, common-sense or factual evidence.
The bible promotes misogyny.

Love ya, Pule.
The superimposition of states is a purely theoretical thought experiment that simply illustrates how unintuitive the quantum world really is. Shroedinger's cat is not both dead or alive inside the box, but it is necessary for a scientist to treat the scenario in that way because of the wave function that it generates mathematically. This has absolutely nothing to do with god and as far as probabilities are concerned, they are not in god's favour, I'm afraid.
So, let me get this straight.
The state vector of the universe is of the form
alpha[0] * |there is no god> + alpha[1] * |there is a god>
where |there is a god> and |there is no god> are eigenvectors of the IsThereAGod operator?
Snag is, if you go with any collapse dynamics, then alpha[0] is already zero (state vector collapsed at creation since it was an interaction with god, duh), so there's not much to talk in terms of probabilities there. If you go with relative state interpretations, then theology morphs into a really bad acid trip, because then you enter into interaction with the world and your state splits into one entangled with |there is no god> and the other with |there is a god>. The latter branch of your wavefunction will also be a superposition of |damned> and |saved>, so you are certain to go to both hell and heaven.
You'd better stay with the bronze age bullshit.
"the theory of quantum mechanics"
I'd like to perform Schrodingers Cat Paradox experiment, only this time, with CyberCipher instead of the cat.
If you put a fundie in a box with Plutonium, and a flask of poison, and left him/her in there, would anyone care?

Brilliantly elucidated!
Re: Athestic Bus Signs
No, the wording of said sign was to prevent loonspud Xtian groups such as Christian Voice, from suing...
(Note: Said group tried & failed to get the sign banned under advertising regulations... Naturally, the leader of said group, blamed the "Homosexual Mafia" for his failure, after the Advertisment Standards Authority in the U.K ruled that said wording did not violate said rules).
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
