Yes, I don't understand why you would suggest pressure, in the context of science, is not empirically valid... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure

Is there any chance you could quote the actual verse from the Quran that supports your assertion because so far all you have is an appeal to authority...

The branes are attracted to each other via gravity, the energy release of contact pushes them apart, gravity eventually pulls them back together... I didn't see that assertion in your link...

This would be my point, in the story the man couldn't back up his sighting a of a sauropod with anything but his personal experience. In the face of total lack of positive evidence a reasonable man would have to admit that maybe he didn't see the dinosaur at all.... You need to show where Cousteau makes this claim, it is physically impossible for a lake of freshwater to lie under a layer of salt water. Please show us where Cousteau makes this assertion....

No Dbaiba, what you assert about freshwater lying under the ocean was not confirmed by Cousteau, in fact it is a physical impossibility, freshwater is less dense that salt water and could not lay under a layer of salt water, salt water and freshwater come into contact in estuaries where they mix. There is no doubt that freshwater and salt water mix in nature. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estuary I live near the ocean i see salt water and fresh water every day, there is not doubt they mix every day.

Thanks, I have problems with my hands and i had to quit for the day but I'll be back at it tomorrow morning... Must be a cam follower in there someplace...

Do not use me as an example, your answer to me was nothing but special pleading, I can, or others to be precise, use that to justify believing in the moon goddess Adriana, at least that religion has naked women dancing under the full moon.... Dbaiba, first I want to say you have the right to believe anything you want as long as you don't feel the need to force anyone else to believe that way but I want you to think about this. This little story is a loose quote from one of my favorite youtubers AronRa. Lets say you are woken up in the middle of the night by noise outside your home. You go out to investigate and see a sauropod dinosaur walking down your street. You run up to it and you can feel it's rough hide, smell it, hear it breath and maybe even ride it if you wanted to. You regain your senses and run inside to get your camcorder but when you come back out it's gone, no trace, you know what you saw but in the coming days no trace of the creature turns up, no excrement. no destruction, no foot prints, nothing.... You hear about some other guy who saw a dinosaur too but his couldn't have been the same one you saw because his was a theropod and after weeks go by and no trace of either beast shows up you would have to admit that just maybe you didn't see it after all. Personal experience is not proof of anything, if you can't show it then you don't know it...

Most of the religious fundamentalists I have come in contact with are quite sure science is wrong, some think it is a conspiracy headed by Satan, others just think they can't see the trees for the forest. Many moderates i know simply don't care and believe anyway assuming God will explain the discrepancies at some point or assume humans have distorted the word of god or that humans simply can't understand the mind of god....

Yes but religion, Islam or any other had nothing to do with those contributions...

No problem...

Alpha male has nothing to do with homosexual or heterosexual...

How do you know the difference?

I'm working on my Honda Element, and when i was fixing the window on the passenger side door the linkage from the indoor latch came off. Now I can't find where it attaches to the door latch internally. I can hook it to the internal door handle but I see no possible place for the linkage to hook to the internal door latch mechanism. Here is what I am working with... part 13/30, where it attaches to the door internal door latch handle 22/32 and 10/27 is obvious and easy but the internal attachment eludes me... This diagram is singularly unhelpful in figuring out where it attaches. it must transfer a side to side motion to an up and down motion but there is no obvious attachment point, I have been working on it all day to no avail... Oh yeah, where it attaches cannot be seen, it can only be touched...

Absolutely awesome, very moving....

It was dishonest because he didn't answer the question, he misdirected the question by answering something else, it's a strawman, it's dishonest and a typical tactic of religious apologetics...

A prediction that can be tested and shown to be empirically valid, example, I can drop weights from a specific height and predict how long they will fall, how fast they will be going when they hit ect. This can be repeated by other people with the same results... Can metaphysics make such a testable prediction?

maybe, then again maybe the version you saw was edited...

I've seen them, evidently we didn't see the same versions...

Alan, you know I'm not a spammer...

I read your link and your post, you are missing the point and do not understand what science is, religion is not supportable by empirical evidence, it relies on faith, it is not up to anyone to prove religion is false, it is up to those who assert religion or god is real to provide proof. In lack of positive proof of god or gods the default position is there are no gods, if you can prove other wise i suggest you provide the evidence. Everyone knows that science has deep roots in the middle east, this has nothing to do with the existence of god.

So you don't think that having sex with a man and a woman is indicative of at the very least bi sexual behavior? I am straight but not disgusted by homosexual behavior but I have never participated in sex with a woman and a man, first because I think it's abusive to the woman but mostly because i don't share with other men, sexual behavior with another man, even if it is with a woman as well qualifies as bi sexual behavior at the very least. And yes i have had many opportunities to have sex with couples, i was in my prime in the 70's when almost anything was allowed but sex with a man and a woman just wasn't on my agenda, it didn't repel me but I have just never been interested in sexual activity with other men, but evidently you were... busted dude, alpha male maybe, but that is bi sexual behavior at the very least...

No, in fact it can be due to things the womb has no control over and can happen to anyone, and please explain to me why homosexuals cannot reproduce... You keep claiming this but you show no evidence for it, how about a citation to back up your assertions?
