Autism Linked to Atheism

Post Reply New Topic

The phrase "god particle" is unfortunate. The recent findings at CERN indicate that the Higgs Boson probably exists. The observations are rather indirect, but this cannot be helped because the Higgs boson remains observable through its effects on other particles and then, only for an extremely short time.

Ikow little of the Higgs Boson particle; Ruveyn, can you please explain more about it?

The Higgs Boson is the particle that gives mass to certain other particles with which it interacts.

Intereting...is this related to the electron cloud or is it more of an energy provider that expands the particles?

Define mass _ _ without using my moniker

I can def see this, most of the AS people I know are atheists.

Myself, I am not. I do believe in G-d.

Pooh! I and three of my brothers have autism and all of us are comfortably Christian. Besides, even when you're Christian, it doesnt mean you can't be logical. God made us in His Image, and I don't really think that means in the looks department. He gave us His compulsion and ability to create, and free will in order to create whatever we want. And who's to say that when this world, this reality, is gone, He won't build more? Thousands, millions or worlds and realities, each one unique...
See, even Christian can question and wonder and not have to believe only in whatever denomination they were raised with.

Anyone _ _ define what mass is and what constitutes it.

Just as religions use vacuously mysterious concepts such as 'God' and 'Soul' to explain away reality, so too does basic science, with its 'fundamental (i.e. mass-inducing) particle', 'space-time', and so on. The only difference, of course, is that science is supposed to push the boundaries of its explanations, question its own paradigms, and ultimately acknowledge its own limitations, rather than blithely accept 'materialism' and the rest of our culture's half-arsed pseudo-scientific (read 'unscientific') fables.

Incidentally (and back on topic) I hope some readers will see that autistics are able to go beyond (should it suit them) a shortsightedly 'rational' understanding of Reality, which in my experience (which I'm sure I share with many of my kind) has a way of coming back to bite you in the butt as soon as you think you've got a handle on things.

I may believe in some kind of deistic god, but mostly content with practical stuff like meditation. Maybe it is because autistic people are objective snd need a concrete routine and formula for everything.
