If I was a teenager again the one thing I would wish I had was a mobile phone and internet. Especially line. Life would have been so much easier. You wouldn't have to wait 6 months to accidentally cross paths with that girl you liked and we wouldn't have had to drive all over town looking for weed.
Traipsing down to the library in the p****** rain to do research for homework. Most the entire collective knowledge of mankind at your fingertips. Granted you have to search for it but same with the library. Back 'in the day', lack of knowledge could be put down to lack of opportunity such as no schools, libraries etc. but now, for the most part, if an individual doesn't know something it's because they don't care to and that is called wilful ignorance.

Taken in the context that that is the very next planet and the billions of planets and years it would seem to be an odds on bet. They surmise that earth like conditions are common in this galaxy.
Yep. The Fermi paradox.

Call it what you will, I never saw teenagers ( when I was one ) walking along a public pavement looking at a screen instead of where they were going.
Also, we could all subtract 30 from 100 to work out what change we should be given if buying something, without needing a machine to tell us.
Fluid intelligence, whatever that may be, is meaningless if there is no common sense to go with it.
'Call it what you will, I never saw teenagers ( when I was one ) walking along a public pavement looking at a screen instead of where they were going'
Indeed mate.

It was not only you that called the Aha! moment a eureka moment. This is clearly an important effect which we study at school, or at least we studied this in some depth at my university...
Please see more about the history and etymology of this Greek word here at this Wikipedia link:

Yep. Often get that or something similar when studying a subject. Learn this and then that and on and on then suddenly the entire subject becomes as clear as day.

How do you get from not understanding how the universe was created to proof that God exists?
Why is it ignorant? It couldn't be more fundamental or simple. Which religion is real? All my life religious people dodge this question like kryptonite and nothiong has changed.
'How do you get from not understanding how the universe was created to proof that God exists?'
I've heard this referred to as the 'look at the trees' postulation and also the 'god of the gaps'. I believe I wrote about this earlier as an example of an oft heard claim that has never ever been shown to be valid.

The three major religions belive in the same god, as mentioned earlier, as well many buddhists accept Jesus, and believe Jesus had lived several lives and reached higher state as a budda or what we call prophet.
As said before, it is more that is similarities in the different belief systems, than what seperates them.
lol All cheeses are similar in that they are all cheeses.

I understand that people believe in religion. Not my question, was it? The justification for religion being a thing is to be able to explain why one particular religion is true and the others not. If that standard can't be met, the only possible logical conclusion is that none are true.
Please don't feel compelled to respond unless you can directly address my question as stated repeatedly.
I suspect the reason you have to keep asking is because you don't understand or refuse to. None have shown themselves to be valid so the question of which one/s are true and which one/s are not is effectively meaningless. Another way of looking at would be if you support a football team and they lose. The score / number of goals they lose by isn't going to effect the result.
Please don't feel compelled to respond if that basic logic is beyond you. I could possibly explain with the aid of sketches/ pictures but life is too short. Sorry. -

You didn't get there. All I want answered and I have repeated this several times is which religion is real and which are fake?
Sorry, hadn't read all the comments.
None have been shown to valid though some would argue that the real or true aspect can be related to it being true that a number of people believe it. Weird imo but have seen it argued. Some would also argue that the Universe / existence has to require a creator but that too has never been demonstrated. 'There has to be a god' OK... ? You base that on? Foolishness, if you ask me lol.-

"the claim of knowledge that an intervening god exists."
You'd need to explain what this means in terms that even a moron like me can understand.
Theism as opposed to deism (belief in the existence of a supreme being, specifically of a creator who does not intervene in the universe)

One can believe in God without being in any religion.
That would be a non capitalised god.

Super-Smart People, Almost INVARIABLY, Turn Out to Be Atheists?
Garbage.
IMO an actually smart person would admit that no one can actually know that for sure, and be open for evidence one way or the other.
Such evidence has not yet been found.
Can't know for sure.... yep. Downside is that that is agnostic while atheist is a rejection of the claim of knowledge that an intervening god exists. It's so simple, shockingly so, that it's incredible the number of people who don't understand. We use this same logic in law and have done for centuries. It's guilty or not guilty rather than guilty or innocent.

If you can find a Thai wife who you can have an intelligent conversation with and likes sex after 40, she's a keeper.
Problem for me is that I don't watch TV and spend much of my time following my interests which are outside of the norm. Advanced math, particle physics, cosmology, psychology, anthropology, geopolitics, to name a few. Nobody on Samui to engage with so it's all online. When Covid hit and people where advised to avoid close contact with others, nothing really changed. That being said, I'm happy nevertheless.

Use a filter of some sort so as to avoid overwhelming the registration system. There are a number of options such as the last 2 digits on their ID card number but most thinking countries have chosen to use their age as a filter.

Exactly. The daily case rate within the general population has been fairly stable at 2-2.4k for 4-5 weeks.

The CMOS battery is there to to keep the date & time and any modifications you have made to the BIOS. It should boot even with a dead battery....well my Lenovo did.
Yep. Generally it will go to hard coded factory defaults but that is not always the case. Given the likely low cost of a replacement CMOS it's worth a punt. Some years back I would buy or be donated old/dead laptops (in the UK) and try fix them up while in the UK for a couple of months during the summer. Any that I managed to salvage I would bring back with me and just give them away to local families. I'd make a net loss obviously but we are not talking about huge sums of money and was essentially a hobby. I still do it to some degree though these days people are happy with just their smartphone.

If it's not reaching POST (Power-On Self Test) then it could be the CMOS battery that maintains the BIOS? These are generally non propriety cheap watch type batteries and easy to come by so would be worth a small investment. YT will likely have a video on how to unscrew the laptop. Good luck
