I find it much more logical to believe that a superior being, i.e, God, makes the universe exist, rather than believing (yes, you are also blindly believing) that everything just exists without any reason.

Why is the "solution" of an omnipotent, omnipresent entity far more elegant & likely? ;)

Where did your god come from?

The same question could be asked of you. Where did your laws of physics come from and if there are multiple universes each with unique laws of physics then where did your multiverse come from? I don't believe in a God but it not like you guys have the answers either.

God doesn't have to follow the laws of physics, so this question is pointless.

I'm not talking about laws of physics, I'm talking about what's more logical to believe in (just as you said it). Please answer my question. For what reason does God exist? If you can't provide a good reason then I'm sorry but your explanation doesn't make sense even by your ridiculous standards.

The universe has always existed in one form or another - energy and matter can't be made or destroyed. Just like there has always been a god.

Didn't a theorist once say that the human mind will never be able to understand the complexity of how we were created? I'm sure I read that somewhere at neowin.

Didn't a 'theorist' state the world was flat? Times change, but its all speculation and theories is the keyword.

Only God knows why God exists. Who am I to read into the mind of God? But, if God did not exist there's no way the Universe would exist. So God must exist.

Oh? And how do you possess the knowledge that god doesn't have to follow the laws of anything? How do you know this?

I can prove and build a lot more using the laws of physics than you can using your laws of......over active imaginations. Like I said, the assumption that anything that cannot be explained by science must be otherworldly is utterly retarded. Like I said, we also once were not able to prove why the sun rises and sets, why it is the tides occur, etc etc. So we made up reasons of gods doing it.?

Your logic makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Are you mentally capable of answering a question on your own? Or is it just much easier and much more comfortable for you to just say that god was not meant to be understood, that god lies outside the laws of physics, and you arbitrarily say that "if god didnt' exist there's no way the universe exists". HOW!? How do you freaking know all these things? How do you know the limitations (or lack thereof) of god? Why is it only god can know why god exists? It's all a mystery, isn't it.

No, it's not. You're too afraid or lazy to think of other reasons for something to occur so you take the easy way out an justify it all with god, kind of like how we've all been doing for centuries.

Well, why don't you take a stab at it? After all, you've claimed that the other explanation doesn't make sense because "everything just exists without any reason.".

You'll have to provide at least some intellectual input of your own for this discussion to continue.

What's the reason behind God's existence? Or does he just exist without reason?

if God did not exist there's no way the Universe would exist. So God must exist.

I'm not asking about the Universe, I don't care for the Universe. We're talking about God, the entity that transcends all and is above all. The entity that "makes sense".

Look, it's not because of logic that I believe in God. It's belief. My point was, you atheists also blindly believe without any logic that the universe just exists.

Yeah, I'm sure of it know. You really are mentally incapable of thinking for yourself. What is it, tell me, that I blindly believe without any logic? That the universe exists? So...when I look up into the night sky, and I see stars, it's all a lie? Is that what you're telling me?

No my friend, it is?you who blindly accepts that god is the answer to everything, and to protect your insecurity, you just state that god is all knowing and is "beyond all our thinking". That's such a pathetic copout from explaining yourself.

      Likely nothing will be done in corporate America, there have been countless Tesla self-driving incidents. Then again, there have also been countless human operated incidents. It's literally daily news here in Canada, to the extent that it's now odd if we get a day where a collision doesn't get announced on the radio throughout the day...
    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on

      By Steven P. · Posted

      SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
