FINALLY! Live dinosaur found in New Zealand, currently in the hands of the local zoological park! this is quite a find!

Robert Foot has suggested mirror matter could be the cause of the Pioneer anomaly... I can't seem to find an article I can access but these links refer to the idea of mirror matter being the causal element in the pioneer anomaly... I do have the book he wrote about Mirror Matter... I've exchanged several e-mails with Dr. Foot about Mirror Matter, the idea leads to some fascinating possibilities... maybe someone else can access the papers in the links... http://www.amazon.com/Shadowlands-Quest-Mirror-Matter-Universe/dp/158112645X http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_matter http://www.findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/display/person14116 http://www.findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/display/publication2924 http://inspirehep.net/record/561148?ln=en

Didn't you mean noob? No wait maybe nub was correct.... It's the blob getting ready to eat curiosity...

Seeing might be believing but seeing is not knowing... really really believing in something is not knowledge...

WHAT! You don't believe in hobbies! Just wait till my flying fish/piranha cross is finished... where did you say you lived btw?

It does look a lot like a pile of rocks, not impossible to get a pile of rocks naturally but it would seem unlikely in this case...

Is this a picture of a stone house on Mars? Admittedly it does look like a pile of rocks...

There are no social cephalopods but octopus are amazing good at problem solving especially when you consider they come up with their solutions by themselves with no social or historical connection with any other octopus. If you use brain size as a standard then mormyrids are brainier than humans, I have kept them in groups and they do interact with each other. The problem is that we are defining intelligence in comparison to us, one data point does not a curve make...

Do you have a citation to back this up? It's interesting but I would like to see something other than your assertions...

I can't say anything about intelligence being around your computer but I think we can be relatively certain about in front of it...

Please read the rules, you need to back this up with evidence, personally I don't think you can but the rules require you to do so...

you need to back up this assertion with evidence

Your tongue is controlled by your brain, without your brain your tongue does nothing and is nothing but a piece of meat....

If religion didn't consistently shove it's idiocy in my face very nearly all the time I doubt I would ever have a thought about God, but the reality is that religion makes that impossible by continuously proselytizing everyone. I feel it's necessary to debunk religion to counter the continuous assault by religion. The idea of keeping my disbelief to my self is how religion has taken over our society and even enforced laws based on religion, everything from sex to how to react to those who do not share your particular belief is proscribed by religion, it is impossible to live with out religion rearing it's ugly head in your life. You are an atheist when it comes to most gods, does that mean you worship them secretly? As for rarely insulting people, the assertion that atheism is a religion is in it's self insulting and asserting things as facts with no intent to back them up with evidence to get a reaction out of people is the definition of trolling... if the shoe fits lace that bitch up and wear it...

Do you really think your tongue operates independent of your brain?

Your argument is invalid...

Can you smell that smell, the smell of troll that surrounds this thread?

you now you're a geek when realizing Summer Glau is a robot only makes it sexier...

What is SimSphere?

I prefer to think of atheism as not believing in anything super natural this includes gods but is not limited to a disbelief in gods. My statement that the supernatural has no evidence to back up it's claims is not a religion... Atheism is no more a religion than not believing in bigfoot is a religion.. Why categorize myself? How does not believing in god categorize me in any way other than i do not believe in gods? I do not believe there is sufficient evidence to justify asserting there are gods, you can draw no conclusions from that statement other than i do not believe in gods. "I do not believe" is in no way a religion nor is it a term that defines anything about me other than i do not believe in gods. I can be anything on the spectrum of human behavior except believing in a god, a theist can be anything on the spectrum of human behavior as well but hold a belief in gods, none of the other things on that human behavior spectrum can be deduced about a theist other than a belief in gods. Why should being an atheist be anything more than not believing in a god?

Some experiments have been done to see if warping space/time is possible. So far the results have been inconclusive. There are more than one way to skin this cat but at the present we do not have the technology implement any of the possibilities... http://www.nasa.gov/centers/glenn/technology/warp/warpstat_prt.htm http://www.nasa.gov/centers/glenn/technology/warp/ideachev.html http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/164326-nasa-discusses-its-warp-drive-research-prepares-to-create-a-warp-bubble-in-the-lab These sites might give you a handle on what is being done or investigated and there are still more possibilities as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heim_theory http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/ciencia_hyperdimensions11.htm

How do you know "known nature" communicates wordlessly?

I am not arguing the toxicity of these substances one way or another but a deer that eats hallucinogenic plants would have problems dealing with reality and get eaten. This does not change the fact that both and and animals use intoxicating substances, the exact nature of the effects is unknown to all but the creature who does it. Something that might do harm to an animal by messing with it's mind might be a pleasant thing for humans who are more dependent on shelter and socially taking care of each other.
