Do you have any evidence the Earth is moving outwards from the sun? Don't you think it's a bit more likely that Mars at one time had a denser atmosphere and was able to retain more heat than it does today?

I have a friend that actually built his house of out pine trees he cut off his land and milled into lumber. I thought it was kind of neat...

I'd like to add that just because you think you've witnessed god doesn't make it real either...

Ammonium fluoride is similar to water? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_fluoride It sublimes at 100c exactly how is it similar to water?

I live in the southern US, pine forests are about all we have other than swamp forests where you guessed more conifers dominate the scene, cypress grow in standing water sometimes several feet deep, pond pines grow along the edges of swamp with huge long leaf pines growing everywhere else. Pine is very cool wood it smells good and it is very pretty and can be stained to any hue, what's not to like? Oh yeah and there are all those pine cones... I'm not sure about the acid thing either to be honest...

Unless of course you have read this entire thread and seen that odds have nothing to do with it...

What? What does this have to do with a "gay gene" and can you substantiate such outrageous claim?

The Republicans are much scarier than I even imagined, I almost wish I hadn't started looking at this stuff closely...

Now we know where Todd Akin got his information about rape and pregnancy...

Yet more batshit crazy fear mongering from the republicans... civil war if Obama wins reelection...

Christians, the ones that do, only started to do so after the enlightenment. Before that Christians thought diseases were caused by supernatural elements. Only after science began to explain things by naturalistic means did "certain" Christians give up the supernatural causes. A theory has to be falsifiable, the supernatural is not... Religion, even the Christian religion is capable of deplorable evil as well, what would be your point? Christianity has historically been morally bankrupt, only after Christianity was gelded by the enlightenment has it been touted as moral and even today Christians call for the death of homosexuals, rounding them up into concentration camps, the teaching of creationism as science, sometimes violent opposition to birth control. The Old testament is full of morally bankrupt commands by god and even in the new testament slavery is condoned. Morals do not come from religion, any religion. So requiring people to suffer unnecessarily is moral? Why can the patient not choose to die with dignity? A woman should have the right to have an early abortion if she wants, i do not agree with abortion as a method of birth control but making someone have a baby who does not want to have one is immoral in my opinion. How do you get that from the quote you gave? Dogma is not reason... Not if you read what the bible really says...

I suggest you read the entire thread before asserting ID as the most likely way life came into being....

I am curious, did you bother to read the entire thread or did you just jump in here at the end and ignore all the evidence presented in the other 108 posts?

Let me get this straight, because you don't understand how they could have done it aliens must have done it?

Aw come on rigney, you promised...

Yes, hand waving is a great way to get your point across, please provide some evidence other than your inability to understand...

No they rely on fear mongering Why is a deity necessary? This is not true, I am an atheist and I don't think abortion is a good thing, that one example blows your argument out of the water. When it comes to religion it is a monster leading the blind...

Interesting that it is easy to show how religion controls people in nearly every aspect of a believers life from the food they can eat the sex they can have, who they can have it with and yet there is no evidence to support any life after death or even that religion is anything but made up myths...

Hire a professional, at least before you do anything that might get your self hurt get an estimate on how much it would cost to have the tree cut down, it might not be as expensive as you think.

Sounds like a job for Roundup! It's not going to fall down immediately if you use poison, it takes weeks for it to die and then months to rot to the point of limbs falling off. Is it on your property?

I've exchanged messages with Dr. Foot about mirror matter, he has yet to show it's existence, this seems like quite a divergence from what he describes in his Book. http://books.google.com/books/about/Shadowlands.html?id=3evE2K-ylVIC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_matter http://www.technologyreview.com/view/418687/first-evidence-that-mirror-matter-may-fill-the/

You are so antagonistic you make it very difficult to support your point of view. I do not appreciate having words put into my mouth, when i said we should fight to win if we fight at all I was agreeing with you. Wars should be fought to win but guerilla fighters that melt back into the population are difficult to fight, the Soviets found this out in Afghanistan as we did in Vietnam. We are not fighting a population that yearns to be free and welcomes us with open arms. We would be better off to simply pull out and destroy any military bases that show up from a distance, the people who attacked us were only able to do so because we weren't expecting it. To make these people surrender we would have to kill most of them and the ones that surrendered would always have to be watched closely. It is truly a loosing proposition. Unless you are willing to kill virtually everyone there winning is not going to happen... Every time you kill a man his sons and other family members become fighters, how do you fight that? This is not NAZI Germany waging a war between governments there is hardly a government there to start with and if you think it's not about religion you are naive, the Taliban is all about religion, religious zealots is all they really are and threat of hell fire is a pretty good motivator to a culture that steeped in religion...

yeah! let's nuke em...

I would have thought it was much easier to show a Dem talking insane crap, I mean they are the anything goes party aren't they? That's pretty much what Fox News says... no wait, maybe Fox can tell us some crazy stuff Dems say... They are so truthful and all I am sure they wouldn't spin it...

Coffee with Claire, this week yet another theist calling for gays to be rounded up and killed, Romney's new running mate and his batshit crazy views plus more...
