it is not based upon the logical propositions. for example, creationism. >> page 391, resister regard intelligent design as scientific theory. you write, many scientists and philosophers of science regard to the stability as an important feature of scientific inquiry and intelligent design as testable in three specific into related waste. >> right. that me back upon not one as well. the first thing it is important to understand, i made it in the book, looking at these two mysteries, the missing ancestral fossils' and how you build an animal, show particularly in the second part of the book that the mechanism lax the creative power to generate these complex animals and especially the reformation necessary to build them. that is a critique of neo darwinism. a lot of people want to know how you get from that to a positive argument for intelligent design? and here is where darlings on method of scientific reasoning was really important are reasoning. i studied darlings method. i think he was a great pioneer. if you want to explain som

so once we start collapsing all of those different logics that these companies operate on under thisumbrella term called the internet and then we start comparing with, say, television, i think it creates too many ambiguities and it actually makes it harder for us to understand the logics on which many of those technologies run. >> on mcluhan, did his coinage of that term, 'the global village' not accurately foresee the age, in certain respects, in which we live today? >> well, i don't think that that was a very useful term because it distracted us from understanding a lot more evil forces like nationalism that prevented us from getting to global village, but there was clearly, you know, some kind of a longing for establishing those bridges between idaho and india and the idea was that new media, like television, would allow us to establish those bridges, even though there was very little shared cultural contacts or perhaps even desire to communicate. so in that sense, you know, i do buy into the cosmopolitan project in the sense that we probably want people to think a little bit broa

it defies logic and defies common sense here. so the evidence is powerful and the question for all of us is what are we going to do about it? turn our backs? have a moment of silence? we are a dictator with impunity and threaten the rest of the world that he will retaliate for his own criminal activity because he is being held accountable? we live in a dangerous world as it is, folks. and that kind of threat is nothing different from the threat we face every single day. and if we don't stand up to it we will face it more and they will think they can intimidate anybody. i don't believe we should shy from the moment. the risk of not asking is greater than the risk of acting. and everybody needs to stop and think about that hard. >> let me answer that before the next question and secretary kerry has logic of what he says about the evidence, it's very, very compelling, but on the bbc's question also about the latest remarks of president assad, we must not fall in the trap of attaching too much credibility of the words of a leader, pr

i mean that is absolutely a logical isn't it. if you do not give a fair return. again money and therefore investment for future research. because it seemed to twenty percent off the top of the follow companies you spend on. it is not being given by the. trust that husky generated by the company so i think you're to look at it. and not do more because to moral and. from left to copy from anybody. they didn't know want this to argue that. the patent system giving such privileges even having to ration. that innovation despite the patent system for example very few new antibiotics and why do we need new antibiotics we needed for needed infection so you need new antibiotics. why would you invest in a new compound when you put back to the same point again and again and keep extending your profit. challenges that research costs huge amount to be to get a new chemical entity costs two to three billion dollars and the reason is issued degree will feel in the process of. there nor. to prom night is the government's coming to do research on nor do you know of any other orga

there are a couple of logical problems with the guments the republicans -- logic? >> i hate to bring logic in a political discussion. if they shut even down the government they will not have stopped obama care. is mandatory spending and it will be spent and the exchanges that are supposed to open 1 will open even if the government has been shut down. you have cruz talking about a filibuster first telling republicans pass the bell and it to senate and he won't let the senate vote on it. hat is not a way to pass a bill. gwen: where has john boehner been? seemed like he was reluctant and he comes in with hands,. >> he is been on both saoeutdz. he said obama care is the law of the land. was re-elected. maybe we will make some changes to it. recently as 10 days ago he and others were trying to not orward a plan to combine the two. but he is following the herd here. that is evident and obvious. the real question for him is this. likely strips the defunding and goes back to ping-pong match will he allow a vote to come on this using democratic votes and being the hastert r

you know leaning on this is what america is doing to get these bonds paid for it sounds totally logical max and of course i'm sure in those corporate profits keep funneling in the region for the next couple decades speaking of china we all know about obama's asia pivot where he's putting all this military pressure on the region again leverage but if the u.s. is so indebted to china already does not automatically give china the upper hand in future. well i think what we're seeing in the region really is saudi arabia is really calling it in this kerfuffle going on now because they're very jealous that russia has almost a near monopoly on a pipeline from into europe and saudi arabia wants a pipeline into europe too and has to go through syria to get the pipeline established so they get their good friend america and israel to gang together and

so if you follow that logic, giving people more guns is not going to prevent gun violence. >> look at it this way, in the district of columbia it was illegal for this guy to have a gun, to be carrying it outside of a dwelling. it was certainly illegal to have a gun at a military installation. that was an executive order from president clinton. if something like that had happened in virginia, the chances are much greater that somebody would have had their own gun, some bystander, some intended victim and been able to stop it. that's why we have a murder rate of 1 per 100,000. >> and all those guns are coming right across the border. into dc. that's what the statistics show. >> why don't those guns do any harm in virginia? they had to traverse virginia. >> the atf has called the east coast the iron pipeline. >> nothing happens in the pipeline. only in your dear, beloved gun-free zones. >> no, sir. that's just not true. >> anyplace in this country that should be a gun-free zone, kindergartens, hospitals, should guns be everywhere? is that the solution? >> we have to wrap our minds around

it has no logic. don't try to explain to me that this way will bring democracy. >> the constitution has not been issued yet. >> you choose already 15 persons to modify the constitution. there is no way you have to change it. there has to be an election. he wanted people to vote. he wanted people to have a democracy. you are not playing the game of democracy today. >> please, excuse me, answer my question. democracy is all about voting, and when you have voted and appointed a president, so you throw everything away? >> i kill people to bring back the vote. that is the best way. >> who did you kill. >> please. >> this is animus language. >> the way to vote is the ballot. to count the people's votes. if you put people in the streets, it is uncountable. >> do you think you could even have 10 persons to the egyptians now? >> sorry? >> we will see. >> i won't bring these people back to life. >> those who did not commit any crimes are free to go. i would not agree -- >> one at a time please. >> thank you ver

a destroying the syrian military create more chaos a great point to say that that's what we call logical thought unfortunately obama's train as like we're children that we don't have this kind of thought process i mean we had of course responded to that speech in a new york times op ed today saying that quote is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional whatever the motivation do you agree with assessment and how do you think the concept of american exceptionalism is playing that this policy. you know i think that. the american people have great qualities and for one thing that most of them have good hearts and good intentions and anybody can see that but i think that the point that putin was trying to me which was turned around in the controlled media was that you know everybody should be seen as equal nobody should be seen as an a super to anybody else or apparent to anybody else the american government shouldn't believe or if people believe that america has the right to attack anybody. and i think the point was rather missed in the u.s. media how can the

that was good logic. but over the years the costs crept up and up and up, and last year this board authorized the puc to set rates at 12.8 cents per kilowatt hour. we ran the risk of large scale opt outs, but the logic was that the environmental benefits were so strong that san francisco would vote with their wallets and absorb the increases. set aside for the moment that there would be dangerous opt out aspects of this program, i feared that such an expensive cca would run the risk of sticking mono lingual and elderly san franciscan with soaring energy bills without fair knowledge. i made those concerns known and staff recommended reducing the rate to 10.9 cents per kilowatt hour. this is still significantly above the original goals of cca to meet or beat existing energy rates. and in order to achieve these savings on the residential rates, staff had no choice but to make th

this way i don't exactly know where persons kidneys are or how exactly they work so by all normal logic that means i'm not qualified to have an opinion about whether we should remove john doe's kidneys my opinion doesn't count because i am kidney ignorance so if you know so little about syria that you can't even find it on a map then you are more likely to believe from a guy in a suit on t.v. that there must be an intervention to save the people there you have no idea who they are or why they are suffering or how to save them but gosh darn it that intervention sounds nice knowing at least where a country is on the map is the first step in building in informed opinion but that's just my opinion. hello and welcome to crossfire all things considered peter lavelle the inevitable idiot blowback in the perverse logic of terrorism ever since the us embarked on its so-called war on terror acts of terror and terrorist networks of political rated the recent deadly massacre in kenya is a case in point so is washington's anti-terrorist strategy like a cure that is worse than the disease. to stop th

series of security incidents forces those who are responsible to intervene but isn't that the same logic behind what obama was proposing a local strike. no i don't think so what did you mean by what you were saying this quote absolutely against early intervention foreign intervention in syria but. practically they aren't really sending you know we. were loyal the law is made by. this organ. the other intervening. where you know for right now it seems like we may have found a diplomatic solution but the option to strike syria is still there no one is going to give you a guarantee that america is not going to strike it what do you think i don't the. condition. is within view is that. to do to. strike. with the american people you know he is the he is the first. decision agency and i. refuse. to do don't know exists rocks. i don't think. also. economy condition. of the possibility of rules to do it and there are many constraints on their many. so. they. were take a short break now and after a break we'll talk about the long term consequences the syrian conflict will have around the region a

i'm telling the logic it's not about profits at all let me put this question back to them. after the beating thing has come up right drugs have come up in the market i put this question back to them if you look into the data you'll find that most of the drugs which have been researched. have come into the market and nearly once most of them there were more number which came before the feeding concept came in for example even if you were closest to seymour glass. i think it was early in one thousand eight hundred a wonder what it was that seemed like is preventing you know why not is that if it is better to have it they don't see profit so it. this there's a simple reason not only looking for profits and then to look my point is i think it's clear. there is a disease that affects the most have multiple parts of the walls or the mall or. police prefer that's part of a society. then the pics but this one for profit is very low either because the patients can look to for themselves the treatment or because their state their government they are also poor but the couple to four i

the planning department appears f to be operating in a you thought where it's alicia in wonderland logical. we routinely approve those facilities therefrom therefore we have to approve this facility. the ground floor of this facility was flooded with 18 inches of water after a water sewage pipeline break. residents hired a second expert epa spent and the conclusion was at a minimum an initial study mitigated declarations is required to address those o how those hoozs will be determined. in the last minute classification they said that the sewer line was replaced in 2007. he's on the record of saying while the sewer upgrade may reduce the odds it doesn't eliminate the posh of a 2006 flood which is logical that no one can predict the storms and earthquakes or cumulation of things in the sewer. it raise seismic safety issues and at&t should not be allowed to put things on the ground floor because of the history of flooding and with safety issues they will be referred to in the words a common per certification is the order of the day. under the city's guidelines this site is a preference 6 loc

he's doing what is logical for him in a selfish way. >> what about what's logical for the constituentswe're talking about seniors, talking about kids, talking about people that really need this beyond the politics of the matter. >> well, of course. and what's better for the country as a whole. there's the relatively small band of house republicans. to say we're not going to go along with this. unless we are allowed to take obama care funding out of this. his problem is really with speaker boehner more than with president obama. because look, mick mulvaney is not going to suffer politically. the republican party is going to suffer mightily. i think we can take off the table the whole notion they will succeed in removing obama care. nobody's going to lose health care coverage because the republicans have succeeded in getting rid of obama care. it's not going to happen. the only question is do they shut down the government in the process? and mick mulvaney might not suffer politically from that, but the republicans will get clobbered from that. >> that's why the wall street journal says i

the previous equipment was a relay control, and it was analog logic. this has many advantages in that it can be custom program to and can readjust to changes. it can do a multitude of things, like the lights blinking in the lobby. those are all programs that can be controlled by this equipment. before, this room was filled relay panels collect -- that clicked. they had had a big rotator that told the person or the elevator was. we can level these cars with an 1 millimeter. it used to vary on the temperature by up to half an inch. that caused tripping hazards. now you walk out and it is a smooth transition. it is important for the disabled as well. over here is the controller. but this does is it provides information to the elevator where to go. receives commands from within the elevator and from the destination dispatched central -- dispatched central. these elevators are precisely the electronic breaks, so they need to be very precise. in accordance with the vfd to supply power to the elevator motor, which is right here. these are original d.c. drives

>> i'm telling you -- >> the logic of the policy is you're disincentivizing -- >> the logic of the policyankly, is that we are disincentivizing people getting into the labor market by giving them $1.40 for every meal, and we need to put work requirements, otherwise, the government, with its tasty, tasty candy will lure people away from being productive members of society, in an economy that has 7.5% unemployment. it is completely nonsensical. >> i also would like to know, how many lottery winners and dead people, if you're endorsing this policy, how many lottery winners and dead people -- do you think that we are funding? >> but does it really matter? if you're someone who believes in the safety net, which we all do, we just disagree to the extent to which size it should be, don't you think those people shouldn't be on -- you're disregarding this idea that there is fraud in the -- >> here, i think we all agree. the 1% of the people in the latest audit that we're getting, fraudulently, let's figure out a way to not have them get it. >> maddie, we ended on an agreement, on the 1%, and sam s

one point and this is the logical extension of the kind of logic that you were hearing earlier from our liberty that when the marketplace. the rich people run everything basically that you know the workers are screwed virginia and portland had. bought hi tom portman loves you i wanted to say about syria if our government believes they have an ironclad case to lob missiles into a sovereign country then they have iron clad evidence to take him to the i.c.c. indict him try him as a war criminal find him guilty and when he falls which in evidently he will he won't be able to stay in syria and he won't be able to go anywhere else and a conviction on the i.c.c. would make russia and other countries supporting him pariahs if they continue to support him could shut off his international banking could have a lot of ramifications that are very positive from our point of view without us having to commit military force and on the subject of the syrian people since our aid to egypt is negligible and having no effect on our influence and the saudis have already replaced it why don't we repurpose that

reply, my logical retaliation to the american attack. the main concern, i think, is about the degradation of the i had yags and the missile force of the regime, which would to a large extent stabilize the conflict. >> doctor, thank you so much for your insight. we will be calling on you again. thank you very much. >>> so what has been happening this morning. the g-20 summit has wrapped up. usually the focus is a global economy. the focus for the last couple of days has been syria. we heard from russian president vladimir putin whose position has not changed. he does not want any military action in syria, but what wrapped up a few moments ago is president barack obama saying that that is still his position, that he feels that there should be consequences for the chemical weapons attack in syria in damascus just a few weeks ago. the vote is still going to be put forward in congress to decide whether or not congress will go along with him. the president is not saying whether he will proceed regardless of what happens in congress. we will co

security versus a growing number of countries six you acquire weapons of mass destruction this is logical if you have the bomb no one will touch you we're left with talk of the need to strengthen nonproliferation when in reality this is being eroded. president putin also wrote about this idea of military intervention culture in the united states saying that is alarming and ask the question why would the u.s. want to repeat the mistakes of the past invoking the memory of iraq and afghanistan a conflict which is still on going now he also talked about the need to consider the u.n. investigation which we have not heard the results from yet saying there are indications that it was the rebels who could have used the chemical weapons here's what he had to say. no one doubts the poison gas was used in syria but there is every reason to believe it was used not by the syrian army but by opposition forces to provoke intervention by the powerful foreign patrons who would be siding with the fundamentalists reports that militants are preparing another attack this time against israel cannot be ignored

ensure security the a growing number of countries seek to acquire weapons of mass destruction this is logical if you have the bomb no one will touch you we're left with talk of the need to strengthen nonproliferation when in reality this is being eroded one thing the president also talked about was the idea of the culture of military intervention into foreign internal conflicts being alarming and asking the question why does america want to repeat the mistakes of the past invoking the memory of iraq and afghanistan which is currently still going on now on the need it to consider the u.n. investigation which we are still waiting results from he basically brought up the idea that we're not yet sure who exactly used of these weapons these chemical weapons and these were his words. no one doubts the poison gas was used in syria but there is every reason to believe it was used not by the syrian army but by opposition forces to provoke intervention by the powerful foreign patrons who would be siding with the fundamentalists reports that militants are preparing another attack this time against israe

there's a simple logical problem here. if you cut the taxes of business, then they have more money because their taxes are lower. what they do with that money is their decision. and their decision is governed by making as much money as possible. that might mean that they will create a job, ok, but not here. in a place where the wages are much lower--say, in asia--which might be nice for them but isn't particularly good here. or they might lend it to a government or they might play the stock market. or they might do--i don't know-- let's see. what did they do over the last 30 years? the most impressive things big corporations did with the money they saved from taxes and with the profits they were able to get from deregulation, really, one of the most spectacular things they did was to begin to pay corporate executives at the top stupefying amounts of money. we are the leader in the world-- i'm sure you're all proud-- we're the leader in the world in the gap between what we pay our top executives and what the average worker
