How many people believe something has nothing to do with it's veracity.... please provide a link to the British Medical Journal article...

Double blind unbiased studies? I don't think so...

That is a good question, all i can say is i know em when i seem em... can intolerance really be completely tolerated? Would you give an organised racist group the protection of rule 1 © ?

I don't do that... what is your point? Actual studies have shown that being prayed for and actually knowing you are being prayed for makes the outcome more likely to be bad . People who were being prayed for and didn't know it did about the same as those not being prayed for... so how about naming some of those miracles?

While i obviously don't understand the nuances of this I was puzzled when I came across this article. I had been under the impression that colder than 0 K was a nonsensical idea. But now I've seen it across the net in several places. DH saying it was "discovered" in 1951 is especially puzzling taking into consideration that it is being hyped so loudly... I do remember an old SciFi novel called the cloak of Aesir that used technology based on negative temps to fight a group of aliens who had taken over the Earth,

I have heard many things over the years that have been asserted as proof of a supreme being. Some are patently ridiculous, imatfaal's idea is among the best. Many would say that proof of god is absurd, but there are some things that would be difficult to ignore, so far I have not personally seen or heard of anything that even suggests god as a reality. WHOA! Except for that lightning strike that just hit near me, better luck next time god...

Researchers have achieved temperatures below absolute zero and may have opened up a new realm of possibilities in heat engines.. http://www.livescience.com/25959-atoms-colder-than-absolute-zero.html

NASA is considering towing a 500 ton asteroid into lunar orbit so it can be studied with out the cost of deep space missions. http://www.gizmag.com/asteroid-capture/25625

Then what was the point of this thread?

Again, there is no evidence the physical rotational poles of the Earth have ever switched. Your evidence so far is nothing but vague religious claims and pseudo science conspiracy theories...

yes, that was my original reason for posting the video, it does indeed show how hatred and bigotry can be accepted if it is packaged correctly...

Semjae what does past events, even if the ones you talk about are real, have to do with prophecy of the popes Which is your OT?

Do you have any idea who the Westburro Baptist Church is? Normally you would be correct byt they are a very small group of hate mongers who picket the funerals of American service men and loudly proclaim that god hates america because we allow homosexuals to live and that is why our soldiers die.... Their official website http://www.godhatesfags.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westboro_Baptist_Church

Considering that few if any archaeologists agree this site is the ruins of a city I can't take it seriously...

I'm not so sure it is an old idea but the idea of kinetic energy weapons is old, in fact if one country were in reasonable control of the inner solar system and no one else was, striking the earth in a particular spot with a giant hunk of iron nickle asteroid would be relatively easy to do...

Can you show that the geological upheaval you are referring to was global in nature?

This statement is undoubtedly true Racism is only a meaningful part of it for racists

What you suggest might work but I suggest that the effects of such impact would be similar to if not worse than the volcano it's self...

I agree, i think this is more likely to happen in our future than biological evolution of such traits... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZvfW4sFp3M

I am not sure, the article negated to lay out a possible method of this occurring. Some sort of Virus transfer is the first thing that comes to my mind....

My monetary outlay will probably have to be less than $500, most probably less than 300 so it looks like the pawn shop for me... I am concerned with privacy when it comes to a wireless router vs ethernet type connection, I'm some what of a luddite and don't really like wireless phones either... I'm not a privacy nut but I do not like the idea of anyone listening in on my data stream for general principles.... using a computer pretty much negates any real privacy, i realize that but is a wireless router any more vulnerable than a physical connection?

What do you do about the population of prey animals? As Iggy pointed out the type of hunting you are talking about is not popular here and is seldom done. Most, but sadly not all, hunters here would consider such hunting to be unsportsmanlike like if not cruel. Dogs are often used to hunt in some places but the kill is carried out by guns not by allowing cherished dogs to risk harm.

The bolded part is simply not true. Your own guess? Despite what Sarah Palin said when she was running for vice president no we americans do not go around shooting endangered species or anything else for that matter, you do not have a good grip on american culture. Again you have no clue as to what you are talking about, half baked assumptions do not reality make... How would you suggest we rectify that? I agree that in America (and possibly other places as well) snakes are often killed out of hand, I told when I was a kid it was because god commanded that humans kill snakes... Just bullshit of course, I love snakes and never kill them, i prefer to move them, but while your cultural attitude toward guns is oppressive toward people who would like to not wait 10 minutes for the police to arrive after the crime has been committed, my cultural attitude is to be able to defend my self instead of being forced to watch and me and mine are abused by criminals. my stance is that gun ownership should be at least as difficult as driving a car but to eliminate them completely is simply not going to happen here and to make it happen would put far to many people in peril. I am glad you live in a place where you don't have to worry about crime affecting you or, more what I get from your post, you are passive enough to allow any crime to happen to you or another person and hope you'll have the opportunity to call the police after it happens. people here do not shoot everything in sight, in fact there are laws against discharging a weapon within 100 meters of an inhabited building, even if it's a snake. you have little or no understanding of what goes on here and your assumption that we can shoot everything we do not like is simply wrong...

And yet you continue to demonstrate a total lack of knowledge about what is going on. None of these things support option number 2 over option number 1, in fact option number 2 is impossible if you contend it is caused by magnetic field shifts. An enormous about of bullshit is prophesied by everyone from religious leaders to the crazy guy next door. Even a blind pig finds an occasional acorn. Prophecy is not any better than blind guesses, I prophecize there will be a major earth quake in the next month resulting in the loss of human lives.... want to bet I'll be wrong? There is no known mechanism that would cause the earth to shift it's poles in a short amount of time, the moon in fact prevents this from happening. magnetic poles can and do shift, there is a record of this happening but no record of the disaster that would ensue if the rotational poles were to switch... now which one seems more likely to happen?

Hunting is cruel? The laws were passed due to people thinking that hunting is cruel? Who or what then limits the population of animals who no longer have predators? Is your government actively restocking lions and bears to do the dirty work of culling the herds? Where I live animals like deer have actually become dangerous due to having no limits on their reproduction. In some areas where there is a limited number of people predators still roam but even in small towns populations of prey animals have become nuisances sometimes actually dangerous if for no other reason as vectors of rabies. Your views on hunting is not based in the reality of the situation. in most cases a hunter kills an animal quite cleanly with little or no suffering to the animal. In fact a "clean" kill is the order of the day for most hunters. (Yes i agree that allowing hounds to tear apart a cornered fox is cruel) Most predators in fact do not bother to cleanly kill and often start to eat an animal well before it slowly dies of blood loss as it is being eaten alive. Humans killed by predators experience this and it has been captured on audio tape, a human being held down by a bear and slowly eaten alive is a powerful message that animals care not for cruelty or lack there of... Top predators are necessary, prey animals can and will live among humans but few people want bears living in the patch of woods next door....
