I, the religious bigot would like to make a statement. I have been gone for 3 weeks and spent two of those n Brazil helping the poor starving people there. A christian mission trip, so I'm sure your going to point out all the wrongs in that. Anyways, back on topic. Christians always have an option. If they didnt, then most of the would would be christian. And since its OBVIOUSLY christians running around in suicide vests. And flying headfirst into sky scrapers. You wouldnt possibly be profiling anybody there could you? Muslim christian Hindu. Your a religist. Or something like that. Like racist, but for religion. Your profiling all of us religious bigots on what you believe we are like. Also, why couldn't Adam and eve be the first humans? Your gunna throw in evolution, but if there was a God, and he did make them, does evolution say that's not possible? No where in the bible does it say anything about evolution. Doesn't say its not there. Doesn't say it is. As for downsides, isn't circumscision healthy? And while I have to agree that some religions are bad, I don't feel christianity is one of them. Also, moontanman, one of the religions that doesn't force everyone to join their religion, is Christianity. Of course somebody's gunna argue against that, but oh well, it true, and I'll proved it if you don't believe me. The Bible is against human anger. It talks about kindness and understanding and helping others. Then some people come in and try to turn it into a demon religion.

And it STILL doesn't prove anything. And this is where I would like to correct you. Medical science, is science that is used for medical purposes. Not for making sure evolution lines perfectly with what is fact. Since you will absolutely refuse everthing I say, I'll add links and let you read it. http://www.evolutionnews.org/2015/05/does_medical_sc096371.html And really, when, is evolution required inside of a medical emergency? Besides bacterial resistance I fail to see much of a connection. Many sciences you mentioned, not all, but many, were used quite effectively without evolution even being known. Now I'm not downing evolution. Its real, its here, and it can teach us stuff. But the giant amount of importance you placed on its head is surreal. Proof of moral sciences and many more, can be seen by looking at how old civilizations controlled their people. The romans, made their enemies seem like monsters to the people, which made the people a little bit happier to support the army. Inside the army motivational speeches were regularly made to keep the army motivated(moral science). And I dought they thought about evolution much. I gtg

Are you drunk? How in any rational way does this connect to all nations separating....

According to memammal there IS no definition. Then he gave his idea of why what people think it is is wrong. I gave my own definition because he seemed to have a flawed idea of it. Also, you understand what sentience is right? Because according to you every living thing is sentient. Except maybe a jellyfish.... As it seems, he's obsessed with evolution in an almost un-natural way. Maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but I still think we're the only species on our planet who are sentient. The link he gave had a 404 not found error, so I couldn't look into it. But from the links name, it seems like evolution says humans aren't sentient, because every other animal should have sentience too then. AM I the ONLY one who thinks that's odd? I mean, maybe I'm missing something, but I always thought that we have traits, including sentience that other animals don't. And other animals have traits that we don't, like the ability to hibernate. Quick question, is sentience a trait or, according to some(memaammals link), something that can't be real becuase all animals are the same. Exactly the same.

That would be.... Interesting.

Oh yeah. What's sentience? I dunno. I saw my dog logically reason the best way to catch the mouse was run head first into the wall. I would personally describe sentience as the ability to use logical reasoning to overcome instinct.

If they devoted their life to breaking the record, its not like they get to try again if they fail.

Radiocarbon on the eyelens can determine the age of someone. No idea, its inside one of the links inow gave. Anyway, funny question. Someone devotes their life to be in the longest living person ever. They shall see no failure, they WILL be the oldest person ever. They die at 99 years old. At least they don't get sad that they didn't make the list eh?

If I'm right, you were talking about the big bang. How was it that someone tested it? Or observed it? I missed it. Anyways, we have the ability to sin, (IMO) because we are sentient, and understand what's right and wrong. Do you follow that so far? I know its complicated, but it becomes more complicated ahead. We have souls, because god gave us them. Once again, IMO. Still with me? Great. This next part will blow your mind. I don't consider myself equal to animals. In my opinion, we're smarter then them. Now I'm not anti animal , I'm just saying perhaps, if we can build space craft, and they can't so much as write, that we might be a little bit higher on the food chain. Or what ever yard stick you would measure stuff like that on.

My tiny monkey evolved brain lost track of what the main question was. Oh yeah. In my opinion, while there are a late number, but minor percentage of religious people protesting science, for generalization, they just want be in peace. Most of them aren't arguing in the stores about who's going to hell. Gtg.

Yes. It was 84 the day before, and dropped quite a bit. And there was a SINGLE cloud BTW, just most of the sky had none.

The other night there was the freakiest lightning storm in have ever seen in the few years I've known what lightning is. A single, white cloud, on an otherwise empty night sky, with stars, started shooting lightning everywhere. Like a giant web of lightning going out from all sides. The odd part is seeing lightning outside of the cloud. Usually when you see lightning its in a cloud, but the other night there were no clouds and it was going right out of it and striking nothing. It was my belief that lightning was a large release of static electricity when something came in range to be struck. Anyway, my question is, what caused the lightning to do what it did? For half an hour, non stop.

Sound like a poem. If so, I applaud you. If its your idea of reality, I feel sorry for you.

I couldn't help but get caught up in the article about Luxembourg right below it. Either way, while I'm hesitant to believe its climate change that caused this, I wouldn't be suprised.

The fables you brought up, while they seem impossible without God, seem slightly more possible with God. Its taking it out of context. If I were to claim that two pieces of metal magically fly together, it would seem stupid. If you add magnetism to it, it seems more likely. BTW, isn't the big bang a theory? And in my not so professional opinion, science isn't being halted by religion. Other then "scientists" devoting their life's work to proving there is no religion. Also, where did you hear people were leaving the churches in droves? I kinda heard the opposite.

I guess that's one way to connect it to the op question.... Yeah, never mind. Not really.

Check mental insanities. Just kidding. But seriously, there nothing that explains it. Hence, 6th sense. Those people that you meet, can other people see them too or just you? Sorry. Couldn't help myself.

Maybe I'm a layman, but wouldn't a sphere cut into 12 wedges been easier?

Hello everyone, I was reading about these engines, and I through they were really interesting. I was wondering about a few things, and I'm hoping you guys can answer a few questions. I watched the video from ted ed about the future of space craft, and they had a short explanation of the way it worked. I looked at some diagrams on it later, and found that they're nothing liked the one the ted video showed. Now I understand that they simplified it extremely much, but does the ted video show the basics? I won't post the link, but you can look of up: "the future of spacecraft" ted ed. My questions are: How accurate is the diagram on the ted video? How is the electric field created? What's the specifics on the grid that releases the fluid? Whats the possibility of making one? P.S. I'm a layman on the subject.

Brain density was my first thought. Then I remembered dinosaurs had small brains when I read moons post.

While that's true, you once said that putting laws restricting access to drugs wouldn't be very effective, and that moneys better spent educating people about them. Would the same rule apply here? Illegal guns?

You mean he probably wouldn't have done that if he didn't have a gun? In most probability he would have used something else, like a baseball bat or a knife.

BJones, the only correlation between the rotation of earth and the moon and sun, are the tides. When the gravitational pull of the moon pulls on the water on one side of the earth, that side gets high tide. That means more water goes over there, and that more mass is over there. More mass on one side affects the rotation, and the rotation is gradually slowed. That's the ONLY science that could possibly come close to proving what you claim. And about as close as the Andromeda galaxy is to the milkyway.

And gun control advocates would have everyone believe that the NRA wants to let everyone have unfettered access to guns. Spoiler alert, they never said that.
