Could complex life exist on a rocky world with an extensive hydrogen atmosphere? This wiki article suggests hydrogen breathers might possibly exist.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogenosomes A rocky planet with more mass than the earth but with a hydrogen atmosphere would retain heat due to the super greenhouse effect of hydrogen and could maintain liquid water on it's surface much further away than the Earth is from our sun... In fact, I am going to speculate that hydrogen breathing life forms are likely more abundant than oxygen breathing life forms... We have already found several large rocky exoplanets, so far they seem to be more common than small rocky worlds. The abundance of small red stars with large rocky planets is suggestive that such planets might be better abodes of life, a hydrogen atmosphere large rocky planet could orbit far enough away from a small red star that it wouldn't be tidally locked as a world with oxygen would have to be to maintain liquid water on it's surface...

That is really besides the point, even very rare animals show up as road kill, I live in an area where pygmy rattle snakes are supposed to be non existent but I have found three in the past 10 years as road kill. If they are as wide spread as claimed they must cross roads occasionally, in fact they have been reported crossing roads, highways, even interstates, you would expect to see "bigfeet" dead on the road at least occasionally...

I might if I knew what you were talking about...

I have to ask, is there a plausible mechanism for a soul?

Yes quite permanent, each pole would point toward the sun far too long to allow permanent ice but the equator would be have periods of night and day part of the year but be in a position of very low on the horizon sun through most of the year resulting in ICE there not ever melting completely. Neither pole would be in perpetual darkness, in fact the poles would receive on average more sun than the equator gets now... Complete darkness would only last a few weeks for each pole...

My main problem with bigfoot is that there are no bigfoot road kills, in the US any animal that exists eventually ends up as road kill, humans even end up as road kill, no bigfoot road kills no bigfoot...

You use liquid CO2 to dissolve the caffeine, freeze the CO2/caffeine solution then take the dry ice and inhale it as it sublimates.. then you suffocate in a huge caffeine rush...

The REAL Reasons for all of our recent Mass Shootings

Yeah, we have to take away all the guns... and pressure cookers, barrels, fertilizer, diesel fuel... If you get my gun chances are you are superman... let's see, one more batshitcrazy idea... oh yeah, make people take a test to prove they are not batshit crazy before they buy a gun... Nah, too crazy, it would never work... -
Penis Study. The American Government funded a study to see why the head of a man's penis was larger than the shaft. After one year and $180,000, they concluded that the reason that the head was larger than the shaft was to give the man more pleasure during sex. After the US published the study, the French decided to do their own study. After $250,000 and three years of research, they concluded that the reason the head was larger than the shaft was to give the woman more pleasure during sex. Canadians, unsatisfied with these findings, conducted their own study. After two weeks and a cost of around $75.46, and two cases of beer, they concluded that it was to keep a man's hand from flying off and hitting himself in the forehead..... yeah Canada for keeping it real...

I can make a better case for the existence of alien space craft visiting the Earth than can be made for god, God and Dragons are equivalent in one undeniable way... the amount of evidence for their existence, to show I am wrong you must show evidence for one the other doesn't have and yes dragons have books that say they are real, most of them date back a few centuries but they are there... oops, so does the written evidence for god...
-
The most obvious flaw in your reasoning is the idea that hearsay is evidence, no part of the bible is first hand and no mention of Jesus anyplace but christian writings and those decades after his death. The New Testament is not eye witness, Paul never met Jesus and there are no independent records of anything in the New Testament other than the new testament... But the New testament does describe events that if they had happened would no doubt have been mentioned in non biblical writings of the day, Earth quake, eclipse of the sun, the dead walking around the city, no mention of any miracle worker anyplace but the bible. Shakespeare on the other hand is a historical figure, other people knew his works and wrote about them while he was alive but more importantly Shakespeare didn't make any outrageous supernatural claims he insisted that everyone believe with no evidence... And if you accept the god idea then good ol' god provided us with all sorts of goodies like small pox, river blindness, birth defects, the list of gods love is long and depressing...

Umm what is an SOL particle?

Great song and sound quality, great graphics to go with the music... turn it up...
-
How about explaining the difference to me?
-
I can't figure out why you keep asserting there is some difference in the evidence in support of either one...
-
Is there any chance you could stop using word salad?
-
Good then we are at least communicating accurately because that's what your argument looks like to me so far... I am not trying to say god and dragons are the same thing but as far as evidence for their existence goes they both have the same amount...
-
My claim is self evident, of those, god or invisible dragons, both have exactly the same amount of evidence of their existence...
-
I don't think we are both using the same definition of energy... When you die the complex matrices formed in our brains by chemicals breaks down, the energy stored there evaporates as waste heat and worm food... neither have you btw... How can you assert that the mind remains intact after death?
-
I will assert there is no difference, can you demonstrate there is? Both have exactly the same amount of evidence.. imagination...
-
Ok, can you provide some evidence of that rather non scientific view of energy? you are talking as though you think the mind is some kind of special energy, can you show us that? Our consciousness is an emergent property of the mind and has no existence outside the brain and is the result of reacting chemicals, this can be demonstrated by disrupting this mind with chemicals not to mention injury, in fact both chemicals and injury can turn you into a completely different person or take away your self completely while leaving your body intact...
-
The energy of your mind doesn't just disappear, it radiates away as waste heat, why would you think other wise?
-
Care to let us in on that law of energy you keep asserting? Some details of how it applies to life after death would be nice as well... Observable evidence is based on.... yesssss! Evidence that can be observed, so far I see nothing to suggest i will survive the death of my brain... nothing, no mechanism, no indications, nothing but woo words dude...

Video games, has to be video games.. Elizabeth Hasselbeck says so... and she is on Fox News...
