Yes there is, yes.

Thank you professor Nerdcraft. You keep talking about what it's like in the "entire universe", "the universe", "everything is the same in the universe".... fact is, what we 100% know about the universe wouldn't fill a thimble compared to what we don't know about the universe.

True openmindedness is also the ability to admit the possibility that someone else's theory or opinion may have merit, and to listen to new ideas other than one's own and be able to change your view. Openmindedness is not uncompromising and stay-the-course narrow. THat is called narrowmindedness, which is apparently what you suffer from.

Reality doesn't change itself to cater for whims.

It is people like you who feel the burning need to be the supreme being in the universe, with all the answers, everything is explainable, everyone else is ridiculous in their beliefs and talk of unknowns etc who are actually out of touch with reality.
Fact is, others have come cocking off on this forum about how it's been proven this and no souls that and you are all ridiculous, everything is explainable etc. You won't be the last.
The other fact is that science is rife with theories, not facts. Big bang, for instance, is a theory, as in unproven. You of course can choose to believe in those theories, which means you have beliefs like the rest of us.
And lastly, saying something over and over and over again doesn't make it true.
"There are no souls"
"There are no souls"
"There are no souls"
"There are no ghosts"
"There is no god"
Any idiot can cockily spew answers on a message board. I notice only the select few actually provide difinitive unequivocal testimony from a reliable source to back themselves up.
Are you really under the impression you are accomplishing anything here? Changing anyone's mind? ha ha.... seems many of you pure science followers suffer from self-delusions.
Last fact: we all need enlightenment, not just everyone else but you dude. I take comfort in the fact that most actual scientists/astronomers I've spoken with or heard speak have all been at least humble enough to admit that there is much to learn about all this, and much of what we say we "know" is in fact theory. Based on sound reasoning and the laws of physics or not, a theory is still just a theory.
Class dismissed. Anyone know if there's any of that green beer left?
Or did the leprechaun drink it....
