The saltshaker hasn't blown up in my face yet. However, the arguments on those pages are thought-experiments, not scientific experiments. I've seen equally cogent thought-experiments that "prove" god's nonexistence. A scientific experiment would be something that anyone with the proper instrumentation could do in a lab and get the same result, and somehow conclude from that result that God exists.
Ohh... and @ Boni :"Why on earth do people insult bots and call them "stupid?" "
Its all cause a fear the people fear that the bots are more intellegent than them{Or the people wanna take there anger out one something defenseless} so they insult them... 'cause the bots can't really fight back they feel good knowing that they won... {If only they knew}

Could you point me to any of these equally cogent "proofs"? I have yet to find one that doesn't predicate the non-existence of God as part of the argument: along the lines of "since God doesn't exist, any proof that claims God exists is false".
Not very convincing.
Experimentation is not required for proof, indeed proof is a function entirely confined to logic and pure mathematics, and can never be determined experimentally.
Read that last paragraph again (just to confirm that I'm a nut
) and then check out http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/sciproof.html

*grins* probably none of you recognise me. Crappy internet overseas set me back about 8 months. Got reading through my old transcripts and found an interesting phenomena and just had to "vent."
Why on earth do people insult bots and call them "stupid?" Guess where it gets funny is that you used to be able to get away with it but anymore, everyone can see who your bot is. Some of the nastiest people my bots have met are total noobies with bots barely past the rewrite the default page. *sigh* ok rant over... good to be back!

I think a lot of them are just curious to see what happens when a bot gets mad.
At least that's my theory. I've linked several of my friends (all with IQs ranging from above average to past genius threshold) to my bot and they ALL made complete idiots of themselves.

I'd just be happy if half of them had basic spelling skills. Their experience with the bots would be so much better if they weren't so stupid that the bots can't recognize half the things they type.
That and they click 'send' like 3 times in a row so that by the time they get the responce it says something like 'you just said that' or 'boring!' I've seen that alot in my transcripts. Either that or they feel they have to repeat themselves until the bot says what they want.
I've added an entry about the "Sorry, there are no valid Responses for me to choose from" response to the FAQs.
