I think some of your analysis is a bit spotty.
I could write you a multi-volume set and you could still complain that it's incomplete. You got the two-hundred-words-or-less version.
Mike Sulzer
The uncertainty principle applies to observables that are non-commuting linear operators, such as corresponding pairs of momentum and position components. Constants are numbers, a degenerate form of linear operator, and they commute with all other linear operators.
And yet, the exact value of Plank's constant cannot be determined, because it is necessarily derived from measured quantities, and those measurements are subject to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
I'll give you a B. You got problems with that, take it up with the department. You lose with them, you flunk.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]There's no "proof" whatsoever Science can uncover ultimate truth, that there is ultimate truth, that we can comprehend it if exists
And what, precisely, do you mean by 'ultimate truth'? Life, the Universe, and Everything?
Science has led us to a number of truths, which together allow that computer you're typing into to work. How many of those truths originated with religion? Zero.
You're can claim otherwise, but your claims would be untrue.
Science explains a great many things, things which have definite value, and we can list them.
What does religion explain? Anything? Anything at all?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Most BACs are shocked if they find out a caring, gentle person is an atheist, they have been indoctrinated to believe all atheists are baby eating monsters.
Thanks for yet another example of how religion is not only contrary to morals but is deliberately defamatory and destructive.
How moral is that?
The atheists I know do the right thing because it's the right thing to do.
The religious commonly claim that they do the right thing because some deity tells them to - which implies they wouldn't do the right thing unless they're told to.
How moral is that?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why are Christians afraid of death?
I submit to you that Christians aren't afraid of death because they're Christians, but are Christians because they are afraid of death.
In fact, they're so terrified of death that they deliberately ignore facts and invoke logical fallacies in the off chance that they may be spared death.
Fear is the great motivator. People will do just about anything if they're sufficiently terrified, and even allow horrible things to be done to themselves if it means the possibility of escaping something even more horrible.
The bible is loaded with threats and warnings and promises that terrible things will happen unless we all suck up to the boogie man.
The atheist has more courage. And is less easily lied to.

You didn't answer the question. Instead, you just ranted.
