  1. I come close to qualifying as a genuine UFO nut, how would you suggest we scientifically investigate a phenomenon that seems to occur at random intervals and has no evidence other than eye witnesses, fuzzy photos, videos of lights in the sky? The very best evidence consists of photos of "something" that appears to be unknown and radar returns that could be natural or secrete technology. The videos you have provided are nothing but fluff... What UFO sighting do you think is conclusive evidence of aliens?
  2. Are you asking me if we have talked on other forums? I am Moontanman everywhere I post so if you have talked to moontanman it's likely to have been me...

      Everywhere I go, there I am. :) 

  3. And I gave you one, you are operating on false information, I've had a vasectomy, I was awake during the procedure, they simply cut the vessels...
  4. The point of this is that there is nothing in the way, the seminal vessels are cut not blocked...
  5. Well I guess a magical fairy could fly up the penis and reattach them...
  6. Well the answer you looking for is irrelevant to how a vasectomy works, seminal vessels are comparable to hollow strands of spaghetti. A vasectomy is when those strands are severed. Even intentionally trying to repair them is so difficult as be considered dubious at best. Thinking it could happen by accident or by force is silly...
  7. I would think the force of ejaculation would have no bearing on reconnecting severed seminal tubes...
  8. The "possibilities" are quite diverse and seem to be expanding everytime I google the subject. Boron has at least as diverse chemistry as Carbon but it's extremely low cosmic abundance make it improbable as the backbone of life. https://listverse.com/2015/07/17/10-hypothetical-forms-of-life/ http://speculativeevolution.wikia.com/wiki/Alternative_biochemistry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothetical_types_of_biochemistry
  9. Life is chemistry, chemistry is not random, certain atoms only connect in certain ways with specific atoms in specific configurations.Mutations can be random but mutations cannot cause any atom to merge with any other. the rules of chemistry still apply. There is Intelligent Design involved in some cases, females choose partners but I'm betting that is not the ID you are talking about....
  10. Can evolution be predicted? Scientists from AMOLF in Amsterdam and the ESPCI in Paris seem to have found a way to do so. https://phys.org/news/2018-04-method-evolution.html
  11. Changed my mind...
  12. Big whoop, are you constructing an argument from authority? Even Einstein had to show his work...
  13. I almost hate to ask but can you give us a link to the idea of a sterile human being free of all bacteria and still being healthy. I was under the impression that infants are born with bacterial colonies...
  14. Moving copper and magnets are already used to generate power, see electric motors, the key here is how you move the copper or magnets. I takes an outside power source to do this like a waterfall, or a windmill or a nuclear reactor... Sadly no free lunch here...
  15. I've read figures of we consist of more than 80% microbes by number but it is a point that I think will change our perception of health, medicine, and how we see our environment. You wouldn't even imagine how many people view antibiotics as a way to get rid of all bacteria in the body. When you point out that they are mostly bacteria and they would die with out them usually brings looks of disbelief. This is a great way to move to the concept of how important microbes are on this planet and how the so called "dominant" multicellular creatures could die out in a day and the biggest biological part of our planet wouldn't notice.
  16. It's purely anecdotal on my part. I remember the first time I gave my dogs the flea pills, I found out a large population of fleas were living on my dogs head! Hundreds of fleas suddenly popped out of his fur on the top of his head. The vet said they live there because the dog has a difficult time scratching. On my dogs, basset hounds, fleas have a field day on their hind quarters as well.
  17. Fleas live on the body of dogs, they have to get off to lay eggs but they definitely spend their lives on dogs..
  18. If you chill your body to -196c cancer is the least of your worries...
  19. Can you explain why you assert that science being objective is somehow contrary? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleonomy I'm not sure that "apparent" is the way you are presenting this. Are you asserting this "apparent purposefulness" is real? If I am reading this correctly then you are only asserting an illusory connection between human purpose and AI? Not if the hypothesis calls on a word used in place of supernatural to describe something equally illusionary. Teleonomy only describes an illusion of purpose, which much like the supernatural, is not falsifiable...
  20. As an example, the atom was hypothesized prior to it's observation... but let us not split hairs! The OT deserves respect and there are other hypothesis around the OT question that are just as easily inserted into the blank on this. I've always been interested in the possibility that the purpose of life is to reproduce, spread and infuse into any unoccupied habitat. Looking at it from that perspective then it looks like the purpose of human life is to spread Earth life to other planets is plausible. Maybe a technological civilization is the Earth's version of gonads and we are the mechanism by which Earth Life spreads to new planets and the universe! Seriously dude, my hypothesis has just as much support as the purpose you propose... The purpose of life is to reproduce, to create new life and DNA! Even that is nothing but anthropomorphism taken to its extreme. I am having a real problem with the idea of purpose in this context. Where is that purpose coming from? Did AI seed the Earth so that eventually a new AI would emerge? If AI is the purpose of life then you, at the very least, are proposing that a metaphysical process is in charge of the Universe. Isn't that the same thing as supernatural?
  21. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_theory You are using the colloquial meaning which is closer to something you pulled out of your rectum while drunk last weekend.. .

    It's only 20 years away!
  23. I have, I liked it but it was many years ago. I tend to like a sear on the surface of the beef, lamb is good very rare as well...
  24. I like my beef very very rare, a cold bloody red dead center with a sear on the outside... am I doomed?
