Hell is immoral, infinite punishment for finite crimes is not justice. The same punishment for all crimes is not justice. Torture is immoral as well. taking all these into account Hell is immoral as is any "god" who would employ such punishments...

I agree that the "me too" factor is quite high, I try to stick to old sightings due to the this effect. Faking UFO sightings have practicality become a contest to see who can be the most convincing. In the Early years the extraterrestrial option was found to be a likely answer by the USAF and many sightings to this day defy explanation. I think they represent something important, doesn't have to be extraterrestrial or even technological but the phenomena deserves better than the slow moving meteor level of debunking.

Sea anemone is genetically half animal, half plant
Moontanman replied to Moontanman's topic in Science News
I didn't catch that but anemones are indeed a passion of mine and they are among the most interesting aquarium animals I know of... -
SWIM should be careful in SWIM's posting but to say drugs as though they are all the same is not true. The Drug that SWIM is using is new to the street and the effects are not well known. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mephedrone It is obvious that some drugs can be used recreational alcohol being an obvious one. So responsible drug use is possible but the one SWIM is taking has little info pertaining to it's use and long term effects..

This subject is personally quite interesting to me, I keep or have kept many marine aquariums over the years and Sea Anemones are one of my passions. I had one for several years that was a meter across. I was one of the first people to explore the importance of photosynthesis in regards to Sea Anemones in the marine aquarium hobby, I used a 1000 watt metal halide light to grow that anemone to a meter across. The fact that they are half plant is surprising but their ancient roots are not. They can be extremely beautiful creatures and their interactions with symbiotic fishes, shrimps, and crabs is extremely interesting... http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/03/140318113816.htm

You have no case, the signal to noise ratio is quite high but that doesn't mean there is no signal..

I'm pretty sure it wasn't the actual footage, I saw the show and the footage was turned over the the USAF and never seen again...
-
I saw that too but it was not the actual footage it was a recreation of the footage not the actual footage.

This is not true, I suggest you go to http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/ and read something not slanted by pseudo science..

My sexual preference is a choice, I like curvy women most would call fat but I say they are beautiful...

It could have indeed have been a ruse, the pilots of the jets in question could have been in on it and were lying about the lights surrounding one of the jets, the military representative who's job was to explain away sightings could have been in on it when he said he was now convinced of the reality of UFOs, the airline pilots could have been in on it as well and the fast moving lights could have been secrete technology. The movements of the lights was not something we were capable of in 1952. In 1952 it would seem unlikely that such lights would have been secrete US technology as such things would have been part of our regular lives by 60 years later. As for the idea of UFOs being bright lights... the possibilities are almost endless, they wanted to attract attention, the light maybe a side effect of their technology like heat from a jet exhaust are just two. They certainly did seem to be tweaking the nose of our military by over flying restricted air space, it's quite possible they were trying to get a handle on what we were capable of, it's all speculative. I am not going to defend the idea that they were alien space craft or assert they could not have been. In 1952 technology was somewhat limited compared to today, the military certainly reacted as though they were both surprised and concerned by the sightings. The POTUS was involved and demanded some explanations. The military answers were weak and obviously not descriptive of what actually happened and in fact were actually deceptive. This sighting has been on my radar before but I have always dismissed it because of the lights in the sky is hardly compelling on the face of it but after looking into it and reading as much info as is available I realized this sighting was inexplicable unless of course as you pointed out it was a deliberate act of the military to lie and deceive. Since this wave of sightings is not a singular event but was part of a long train of sightings that went down the east coast over a period of weeks and the military was scrambling to explain them long before they appeared over Washington I have to ask what did the military have to gain form such a series of sightings that only made them look inept and impotent... As i said earlier, they suggest an unknown phenomena, and i can't assert what they were or were not but dismissing them as unimportant seems a bit rash...

Killing gays is not against the rules of the christian god, in fact it is demanded that homosexuals be killed. I would suggest you actually read the bible before you decide what it says..

Jesus specifically said his return would be in the life time of his disciples, obviously he was wrong. if the end that he prophesied didn't happen why would you think it will happen now?

Didn't the gnostics consider the god of the old testament to be Satan masquerading as god?

Hypothesis On Electrostatic Seed Dispersal Strategy
Moontanman replied to Acme's topic in Ecology and the Environment
The one that grow in my yard could be a cultivar, my yard is very wet, this area used to be a wetland, lots of odd flowers growing here and there, I may have confused the blooms. I don't try to suppress the native plants beyond an occasional mowing, I am one of those odd people who appreciate native plants and our wetlands are home to some unusual species... -

I'm almost certain the blooms on the ones here are purple but they are not in bloom yet and i'll take some photos when they are... -
Hypothesis On Electrostatic Seed Dispersal Strategy
Moontanman replied to Acme's topic in Ecology and the Environment
My yard is full of that stuff or something very similar, I'll have to see if the seeds do the same thing. I don't see any reason electrostatic forces couldn't be a factor, spores of ferns and or fungus might be a better model for electrostatic attraction since they are so much smaller. -
I saw a nature show once where the natives were chasing these huge spiders and roasting them, the meat looked like crab!

I would so totally eat fried tarantula! I love exotic food and when i was growing up we ate the animals we trapped for fur, looks like my kind of dinner! http://www.livescience.com/44131-explorers-eat-worms-at-gala.html?cmpid=556799

Bulging Biceps surfing Gravitational Waves (BICEP2 results thread)
Moontanman replied to imatfaal's topic in Science News
Instruments at BICEP2 in Antarctica have detected gravity waves from the infant universe. These gravity waves support the big bang theory by showing direct evidence of inflation in the early universe. In the very early universe inflation occurred and the universe expanded trillions of times in a fraction of a second. Until now no direct evidence of this expansion had been seen. These findings were made by NASA developed technology in cooperation with the National Science foundation. http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2014-082 -
Bulging Biceps surfing Gravitational Waves (BICEP2 results thread)
Moontanman replied to imatfaal's topic in Science News
NASA scientists announce today the conformation of gravity waves in the infant universe. This finding adds more credence of the idea of cosmic inflation in the infant universe. Expansion on the order of trillions of times in a very short period of time is a necessary component of the Big Bang Theory. The detection of gravity waves is a milestone in the quest to understand how our universe originated... http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2014-082 -

The link about the 1952 sightings is far from hysteria and has nothing in common with flares, it was seen by multiple independent witnesses in the air and on the grand, tracked on radar, out performed jets that had very close up visuals, doesn't make them alien space craft but it does require a bit more than simple dismission as hysteria or flares...
