Dr. Jack Sarfatti has recently invoked the scientific notion of
a "well posed theory". I for one subscribe to this principle
completely.
As I see it "well posed theory" in physics means, among other
details:
1. The theory is internally consistent.
2. The theory is sufficient to support it's claims.
3. The theory does not "spuriously conflict with
major experimentally known facts".
This then comprises a "well posed theory".
Whether the theory is in fact true of course, depends on
an additional detail:
4. The theory is confirmed unanimously by sufficient
experimental evidence.
This then, would be not only a "well-posed" theory, but
a "proven-theory".
Hammond claims that his Relativistic proof of God (GOD=Guv)
is:
A. Is a well-posed theory.
B. Is a proven-theory.
That the theory is "well-posed", and proven, Hammond claims
is demonstrated by the following logical structure of the proof:
=============================================================
The Scientific Proof of God is well-posed,
and in fact "experimentally proven" because:
1)
Hammond claims that "God" is a physical phenomena
described by eyewitness reports given in the
Bible. These of course remain to be "scientifically
explained", but at least we do have an extensive
historical description of "what needs to be scientifically
explained". A credible scientific explanation of these
reports becomes then the criteria for judging a
"scientific proof of the existence of God".
2)
Hammond claims that there is a historical "brain growth
deficit" in the human population and that this is
proven by the existence of the "Secular Trend" in human
growth. The existence of the Secular Trend BTW is an iron
clad documented scientific finding of over 70 years
standing (WHO, UN, UNICEF, RED CROSS, etc. etc. etc.)
Basically, the human phenotypic size has yet to reach it's
full genotypic size, and is reaching that goal via a
standard, historic, sigmoidal curve known as the "Secular
Trend". Ipso facto, the proven existence of the Secular
Trend confirms the existence of the brain growth deficit, and
incidentally, its impact on IQ has already been detected
separately and is known as the Flynn Effect, a matching
historic sigmoidal curve.
3)
Hammond claims that the "gross perceptual effects" of a
brain growth deficit handily explain all of the "supernormal"
reports given in the Bible and in the history of religion
generally. IOW, the brain growth deficit is the scientific
"cause of God".
4)
he proof of claim 3 above, rests predominantly on Factor
Analysis in Psychometry (IQ and personality testing), where
an eigenvector extraction actually produces a Factor (eigenvector)
which is shown to be caused by braingrowth, and is easily
phenomenologically identified as "God".
Of CRUCIAL importance to this demonstration, is the fact
that Hammond's theory demonstrates that there is a 4x4 Metric
in Psychometry Vector Space which is CAUSED by the 4x4 Metric
of real Spacetime. It turns out that the Cartesian Geometry
of the human body and brain itself (3-Axis mirror symmetry
cleavage of the brain) is physically caused by the
Riemannian-Euclidean Metric of actual real Spacetime. Therefore,
it is demonstrated that this "God eigenvector" is caused by
the curvature of real spacetime, and hence the relation Guv=GOD.
It turns out then, that the IQ and Personality deviations
(and perceptual speed and length dilations) that are measured
and observed in Psychometry, are actually caused by the
gravitational Time and Space dilations of Relativity. The
entire theory of General Relativity carries over in toto to
Psychology perceptual space (Psychometry Space).
All of this is numerically quantitatively confirmed by the
EXISTING 100 years of published psychometry Factor Analytic
research. God can now be measured to 2-decimal point accuracy.
==========================================================
Thus, not only is Hammond's scientific proof of God a
"well-posed" theory, it is in fact a "proven-theory".
QED, Hammond has discovered the world's first actual
scientific proof of God. The world has been awaiting this
event for some time, at least since the time of Aquinas and
DesCarte, if not since the time of Aristotle and Plato.
Allow me to publicly congratulate myself, since apparently
no one else will.

Incidentally, Factor Analysis only identifies that God "is"
caused by gravity, it does not tell us where the gravity is.
However, Sir Roger Penrose has advanced a celebrated theory
that qunatum gravity in the brain controls brain processes.
Quite obviously Hammond's result is a direct experimental
confirmation of Penrose's Brain-Gravity, and vice versa.
All of this is numerically quantitatively confirmed by the
EXISTING 100 years of published psychometry Factor Analytic

No. We can never claim our theories are true because we do not know in
advance under what circumstances they will be refuted by experiment
(this assumes internal consistency). Our best theories are also
incomplete.
The only way to prove a theory is true, is not only to show it is
consistent with all known facts, and facts that will be known in the
future (and how is your crystal ball working today?) but to further show
that no logically non equivalent theory can be consistent with all the
facts or be internally consistent.
That is why our best theories are at most yet to be falsified.

WRONG LIAR The theory is ALREADY CONFIRMED by 250,000
peer reviewed publications in the Psychometry Factor-Analysis
literature. Same as DALTON'S discovery of the chemical
Atomic Weight combination ratios was ALREADY CONFIRMED by
500 years of chemistry experiment. No "tests" had to be
performed to confirm DALTON'S THEORY, it was experimentally
confirmed the second it was discovered. Same is true of
Einstein's Special Relativity. The length and time dilations
were ALREADY KNOWN, what was missing was a theoretical
explanation. Same with the scientific proof of God. The
psychometry measurements are ALREADY KNOWN, what is needed
is a theoretical explanation, and that is what HAMMOND has
found, and it happens to EXPLAIN GOD.

THEREFORE HAMMOND'S THEORY IS OBVIOUSLY TRUE.
The same was true of Newton's law of Gravitation, Einstein's
Special and General Relativity, and Schrodinger's and
Dirac's theory.
If you think there is any OTHER credible theory which can:
1. Explain all published Factor Analytic Models (as redactions
of a simple cube) and thereby solve the 2,500 year quest
for the STRUCTURAL MODEL of Psychology.
2. Unify 35 years of Intelligence and 70 years of Personality
Factor-analytic research, including 200,000 published papers.
3. Provide an axiomatic physics basis for Psychology and
Psychometry which includes 1 and 2.
4. Explain the Secular Trend and the Flynn Effect.
5. Incorporate Sperrian Lateralization into classical theory.
6. Explain 3,500 years of Religion including the Cross, 4-Gospel
Canon, Polytheism, Monotheism, Heaven, Eternal Life, Miracles,
and God.
7. Confirm Roger Penrose's Quantum Brain Gravity Thesis (1994)
8. Explain Freudian Psychology, explain the Bible, explain the
3-Branches of Government and the Bicameral/2-party System
9. Explain all of Psychology and all of Religion.
10. Explain the 4-Varnas (Castes) of Hinduism, and the 50 demigods
of Hinduism.
11. Explain the Cartesian (3-axis mirror symmetric) body plan
of all plants and animals, including the fact that there
is no 3-legged animal.
12. Propose a rational explanation of Life After Death
OTHER THAN HAMMOND'S GOD=Guv theory, then I'd like to hear about
it. Just like Einstein's theory of Relativity, the odds against
the existence of an ALTERNATE THEORY are a million to one!!!!

You're a smart poker player.. the first to realize that
masked man in the white hat at the end of the table and that
Indian guy Tonto calling and raising all bets, are
NOT BLUFFING. He is holding a Royal Straight Flush in Spades.
My guess is the smart money is already following your lead.
As for "units" of God, all scales in Psychometry are
dimensionless, including IQ. What they represent is
"percentage of one population standard deviation" above
or below the Mean. What this means is that loading on
the "God Factor" is a relative measurement, relative to
the Standard Deviation of the whole human population on
this quantity.
Of course "physics" can go about figuring out what the
actual physical units are. For instance in IQ, the evidence
has long since converged on "mental thinking speed" in
actual "bits/second". They can measure this using computer
interactive programs and millisecond timers, and your "mental
speed" (in bits/second) is found to correlate with your IQ
measurement. So they're well on the road to solving that one.
As far as "God" goes, they (we, (I)) know that God is caused
by the "braingrowth deficit", therefore your actual percentage
of "full brain growth" is a direct measure of "how big your
God is". So far we don't have any "absolute units" for this,
all we have is a Standard Deviation in the population which
is changing over historical times (the Secular Trend), but
it won't be long before medical science (Auxology) begins
to home in on the actual measure of brain growth. In the
meantime, the Psychometric loading of any individual on the
Higher Order Psychometry Factor can actually be measured to
two decimal point accuracy. For instance, "God" is bigger
to Alfred E. Neumann (lo-growth) than to Bill Clinton (hi-growth),
which is why Bill Clinton is elected President. We can
actually measure the difference, although nobody has done
it, since I can't get any serious scientists attention.
Besides, it's not that important, 200,000,000 million
voters can visually see it in a presidential debate between
Alfred E. Neumann and Bill Clinton. The importance of
being able to measure it, is simple to PROVE that God
exists, which is the important question the public wants
answered.

No. Bill Clinton was elected President because he was born in the United
States, was at least 35 years old, and won at least 270 electoral college
votes. In addition, Bill Clinton is a real human being. Alfred E. Neumann
[sic] is a fictional cartoon character who cannot be elected President of
the United States. But why am I not surprised that you'd have some trouble

Unfortunately there is no independent confirmation of the Bible, so

No, it is simply you who cannot think in abstract
(hypothetical) terms. So let us come down to your
level and suppose it is 1992 and DAN QUALE was
running against BILL CLINTON. I'm not saying
that Dan Quale is a stand in for Alfred E. Neumann,
but there does seem to be a resemblance.
Obviously, in that election, Bill Clinton
would take probably 85% of the popular vote (if not
100%).
Fact is, all other things being within reasonably
equal parameters (especially Left-right party strength),
the fact is that the candidate who is judged to be
more "godly" will get elected.... i.e. the person
having the most god on earth and the least god in heaven
(i.e. the highest growth and hence lowest growth deficit)
will get elected. Ideally, the "godliest" person in the
nation is elected to lead... hence the expression
"God save the King", since obviously, being the closest
to God, none other can save him.
This "closeness to god", being caused by a "low brain
growth deficit" is manifested in ones speech, gestures,
body language, clearness of thought, rationality, reality
contact, perceptual speed, evenness of temper, reliability
under stress, commanding presence, etc. etc. and all the
other things that would naturally go with superior
(above population average) levels of growth. This is what
people look for in a presidential candidate... (other things
being equal) and it is certainly apparent in such men
as Bill Clinton, Colin Powell, F.D.R., George Washington,
Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg,
etc, etc.

Get real Bob. According to the following:

5-Billion people are members of organized religion.
Only 2 billion are Christian. The Scriptures of

You talk the talk but you can't walk the walk.
Go tell it to the Moslems, the Hindus, the
Buddhists, the Christians. As an empirical

There are 5-billion living adherents now, and
there have been at least 50 billion such people
in the past 3,500 years. Are you going to say
50 billion people have been seriously talking
about "nothing". Get outta here. OBVIOUSLY,
there is sufficient historical evidence that
we should be at least seriously maintain a

is some scientific phenomenon which would
explain this vast history, widely known as the

Why don't you use an ACTUAL presidential race(s) to prove your claim,
instead of speculatiing on what MIGHT have happened and then using it as

And you have empirical evidence to support this? Including exit polls of
voter opinions (why they voted the way they did, and how it is they
"judged" who is more "Godly")? Question: Is George W. Bush more "Godly"
than Al Gore, because he won the election? Or is Al Gore more Godly than
George W. Bush because more people voted for Gore?

Do you actually believe that all (or even most) of our Presidents exhibit
the characteristics you describe above? Rationality, evenness of temper,
reliability under stress? What about Richard Nixon? He was a paranoid,
anti-Semetic nutcase. Do you have ANY hard, SPECIFIC evidence to support
these claims of yours?

You mean "describe God", not "define" God. Real things do
not have "definitions", only "made up things" have definitions.
Anyway, not to nitpick, I assume you mean "describe" God,
OK, I'll "describe God".
First, for the past 3,500 years we have had a "metaphorical"
description of God given in the Bible, for instance.
Now however, we (Hammond) have discovered a "scientific explanation"
of God, which turns out to explain the existence of this 3,500
year old "metaphorical" description.
Since you are already familiar with the Biblical "metaphorical"
description, I will proceed to give you my (discovered) scientific
explanation (description) of "God".
Scientifically, it is discovered that:
_________________________________________
| |
| SCIENTIFIC DESCRIPTION OF GOD |
| (Hammond 4-02) |
| |
| "God" is a heretofore UNRECOGNIZED |
| decrement-and-variability of our |
| "observable reality" that is caused by |
| the effect of a universal brain growth |
| deficit and it's spontaneous variation- |
| in every human being. The decrement |
| causes "God", and the variability |
| causes "miracles". |
|_________________________________________|
As you can see, this is not a "definition" it is clearly
a scientific "description", but, if you do not make a
distinction between definitions and descriptions, you
can call it a "scientific definition" of God, if you
insist.

But, what you are attempting to prove is the existence of God - if you
accept the Bible as evidence, NO FURTHER PROOF IS NECESSARY. Further,
by assuming the veracity of a book (the Bible) which states that God

Try another one. The discovery clearly proves that "all
men are equal under God". One might at first jump to
the conclusion that persons with a lo-growth deficit
and who loads higher on the "god Factor" are better off
than those with poor-growth and a low god loading. No,
that is not true, because there is a personal god and a
social god. Ultimately there is no such thing as
"private enjoyment" because the prime goal and activity
of Man is to create a perfect world, which can only be
done by social cooperation. Therefore, the Social God
rules supreme.. the higher developed person is given a
greater burden to carry in the world. Therefore,
all men are "created equal" under God, and public opinion
and the human conscience is the arbiter of this. People
who think they are "getting away with something" are living
in a fools paradise, and even common opinion holds that
they are paying a dear price for their stupidity. Psychological
repression is the major punishment, and is the origin of
the common expression "even your best friends won't tell you",
and "ignorance of the law is no excuse". All men are
created equal under God, is a scientific fact, and there is
absolutely no appeal from it.

[Hammond]
But the majority of the World does not accept the Bible
as "proof of the existence of God". A minority may accept
it, but the majority does not. The majority is in fact Agnostic.
No one is saying the Bible isn't "evidence", all science
is saying is that the Bible is not "scientific evidence",
which it isn't. The Bible is only "eyewitness testimony",
much of it uncorroborated, and none of it, so far,
scientifically reproducible.
What I'm saying is that NOW Science has discovered a
scientific phenomena which EXPLAINS AND CORROBORATES the
3,500 year history of "eyewitness reports" found in the Bible.
There is nothing new and novel about this, DesCartes, Newton,
Leibnitz, even Aristotle searched for such a scientific proof
for years. Turns out it took modern computers in Psychometry,
and the Theory of Relativity to actually produce such a
proof. Nothing mysterious about it.

I don't call it a coincidence, I prove its caused by
the Euclidean structure of space, your the moron who

And I personally know many sixth graders who know the difference
between "your" and "you're". and "its" and "it's". Many of them could
probably understand that a horse has four legs because it is related
to all those other animals with four legs (and to all the other
animals with an even number of legs). They could probably understand
that four wheels is just about right for a stable rectangular
conveyance. If you told them that Michael Schumacher's Ferrari had
four wheels because the horse on the Ferrari emblem has four legs,
they would giggle.
A card table has four legs like a horse, a billiard table has six legs
like a cockroach, and a log table has no legs like an oyster.
Coincidence? I think not!

Not many sixth graders are answering 50 emails a day either,
so they can be real careful with typos. Besides, the possessive
case of the pronoun "it" was written for centuries as "it's"
up until the 1900's in fact and still appears in much of the
older literature. It was finally dropped when contractions
became common such as (it's=it is).

Baloney, I had an Oxford Don tell me that a horse had 4-legs
because of "Darwinian Natural Selection"... the most asinine
statement I ever heard.

4-LEGS is the MINIMUM number of legs that ANY animal
can have (a centipede has 100 for instance), but
THERE IS NO 3-LEGGED ANIMAL
And BTW, bipeds are 4-legged animals balancing on their
hindlegs. Whales, Walrus', Pinnipeds are actually
4-legged animals as an X-Ray easily proves. Of course
the law does not apply to animals with NO LEGS. BTW,
a Starfish has a bilateral larval stage and therefore
is intrinsically 4-legged, not 5-legged. Blah, blah,
blah.
Listen Mr. aggravated encyclopedia of synchophantic
truth, you happen to be talking to the only person
in the world who knows WHY all (multicellular) plants
and animals have a CARTESIAN (3-Axis mirror symmetric)
BODY PLAN and why all animals have 4-LEGS. The rest of
jerkwater Natural Science think it's caused by "genetics"
or "Natural Selection" or some other screwball political
idea.

Hi George! Guess my last post hasn't been one of the dozens you've
responded to. How 'bout it? Maybe you're just getting together all the
evidence you have that votors choose whom to vote for based on how
"godlike" the candidates are. If so, I apologize. Hope to hear from ya!

Starfish. Sponges.

Why don't you actually READ a post before replying
to it jerk. The answer to your question was right
in the post:
"BTW, a Starfish has a bilateral larval stage and
therefore is intrinsically 4-legged, not 5-legged".
As for Porifera (sponges) they don't have any legs,
and therefore like snakes, are exempt from the rule.
I'm ot interested in discussing grade school science
with amateurs.
Humans went to walking on two legs for various reasons- we've only got
thumbs on the hands, so that makes them more useful for holding tools
and carrying stuff, the human who stands more is more likely to
percieve both potential advantages and threats in a primative
environment (which, even if it benefits the ones less likely to stand,
it makes him more likely to be a leader and breed more often) walking
on two legs is more efficient, once you're physically adapted to it,
so the two legged walkers were tougher and lasted longer on the move,
etc.
It's not all that tough, just think about it some..

Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, Richard Nixon, Bush 2, Stalin....all popularly
chosen leaders.
It seems to me that this whole theory of your comes dangerously close to
saying that some people are 'destined' to be superior to others.
I also think that the Cathloic Church would probably call this heresy, on
several counts.
Methinks that like most theories that claim to explain everything from lost
socks in the dryer to the cure for cancer, you're missing out on the 'claim
follows from the evidence' criterion.

Oh, by the way, you claim to invoke GR in support of your lunacy, but GR
isn't Euclidean.
Did you forget Popper's criterion of falsifiability?
What experimental result could prove your theory wrong?

No it is not intrinsically 4-legged at all or it would have 4 legs. This
bullshit about symmetrical "body plan" is just that - bullshit. You may
as well say our "body plan" means we're all symmetrical about any axis
since we are all just a ball of cells at one stage.

You said ALL animals have 4 legs. Which is it? It's not much of a rule
if there are obvious exceptions.

So you're a professional marine biologist? No I thought not.
You're a grade-A kook and an elitist prick. Your theory has been
demolished dozens of times yet here you are ranting away same as usual.
Discussion is the last thing you want because when people point out
obvious flaws in your reasoning you just belittle them.
Clearly learning, reason and sanity don't always go together.
Well rant away the rest of your sad life if you like. The world of
science will remember your contribution for what it was - comic relief.

Why don't you go back to night school and
try and get your GED. They don't care about your
criminal record.
Hey, George, haven't you read the book about ad hominem on the
Internet? You are supposed to call someone a paedophile before you
mention their criminal record. And even that's (short for "that is",
George) after you accuse them of bankruptcy, being paid by shadowy
bagmen, and working from a basement at home.
Even sixth-graders know these things.
Thanks for the tip kook but I already have enough qualifications and
income to lead a very comfortable lifestyle.

Actually, snakes are descended from legged creatuires, and all have
non-erupted vestigial legs. Occasionally a snake is found that has very
small non-functional legs, and in some species (boas and pythons) it's
standard equipment.
