  1. Yes, please define better in reference to a fish eye lens'...
  2. I think I'm going to ask for a link or something to support that assertion that goldfish can be frozen and revived. I've seen lots of frozen gold fish none of them did anything but rot after thawing...
  3. Agree on objective morality if we are to discuss it? Subjective morality us superior to Objective morality, these videos explain it very well...
  4. What you ask has been done so many times on this forum I suggest you search the forum for threads like that that have been hashed out over and over. Barring that I suggest you watch this video, it explains the things you ask easily and concisely. This is one of an entire series that makes science easy to understand...
  5. Islands of stability is a relative term, they would still be gone in the blink of an eye
  6. rigney, your stance would 't bother me, possibly any of us, if your stance was based in any way on anything but emotional responses to what is basically propaganda... I honestly think you are too smart to be acting this way...
  7. DNA is not information....
  8. Really, only christians? Why do other religions claim the same level of healing? why do atheists under go spontaneous healing at the same rate of christian healers? Why can't John of god or anyone else heal amputees? I thought I did but to be honest i am sure you don't care that they are nonsense... Seriously njaohnt, if you never watch anything else watch this series, yes it's long but it is well supported and shows why the idea that you can't be religious and scientific at the same time is false. I watched yours not watch this series... I do know that a great many "healers" have been tested and all or them, and I do mean all, were found to be charlatans, many of them actually fake the healing, the people who are healed lie and are paid to lie, I've actually seen it myself, people who claim to be healed and a few hours or days later are just as bad off if not worse than they were before. people told not to take their medications and died as a result. At best Faith healers are at best placebo and at worst fake. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faith_healing
  9. All of it, your question is nonsensical, DNA only represents information because we label it as such, in fact it is not information in of it's self any more than the polyester molecule is information... This is so totally dishonest It's difficult to even understand what they are saying. No it does not, in fact all the evidence very clearly points to natural selection. http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/abioprob/originoflife.html#homochirality The so called information stored in DNA is a strawman, it's only information because we call it information to make it easy to work with, in fact it is no more information that any other large molecules... We know there was no oxygen at the time of abiogenesis due to the minerals that formed at that time. only minerals that can form in the absence of oxygen formed then and free oxygen is a biological product, oxygen is too reactive to persist for significant periods of time with out a constant source, biology would be that source... Another strawman, the first "cells" did not and could not have been as complex as modern cells are and complexity came about slowly overtime. The idea that a modern cell had to form spontaneously is simply not an issue... There are other ways for the first life to pass down information that does not require DNA. This stuff is easily available if you look some place beside creationist sites. Talk origins is full of this information, take the time to read it... Read this page if you are able to read something that isn't creationist horse feathers, they actually give you links so you can check the information they give you. http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/abioprob/originoflife.html#intro God did it is not an absolute statement with no factual support? pot... kettle... black? I defy you to show empirical truth of a designer, all you have is baseless assertions and misinformation presented by creationists who only deny science and provide no evidence of their own...
  10. This is such an outrageous assertion that even though mellowmorgan did a good job of explaining why i feel the need to confirm what he said, mice are not hermaphrodite animals and in fact hermaphroditic mammals are very rare and cannot reproduce with themselves...
  11. The link you provided almost immediately gave misinformation, The summery it's self is very misleadign and asserts false assumptions from the very beginning., if the summery is false what does it say about the rest of the article? http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/tj/v18/n2/abiogenesis/ This is simply wrong, we do indeed know that an oxygen rich atmosphere is the result of biological activity. Oxygen is a highly reactive gas, it cannot exist long term in our atmosphere, only biological action can produce it and minerals formed at the time involved were oxygen poor and indicate the atmosphere did not contain oxygen. Answers in genesis is nothing but misinterpretations, fabrications, and out right lies. More from that one article http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/abioprob/originoflife.html#homochirality'>http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/abioprob/originoflife.html#homochirality Answers in Genesis simply do not tell the truth, they twist and spin any real information to fit their preconceived notions. They cannot be trusted, simple as that... I will not go through the entire article and point out the mistakes and false assumptions but if you really want information about abiogenesis I suggest you go to http://www.talkorigins.org not a creationist site that has an agenda they cannot move away from because it's based in dogma not evidence...
  12. I would still like for Beanieb to tell us where his objective morality comes from. Why is human trafficking wrong? Why is might makes right wrong. Where is his objective morality coming from? If you think that morality is objective then you must have a source outside the human experience to obtain that objective morality from, from where does this objective morality come from? So far all he has done is evade this issue by asking about my morality...
  13. Just a common iron nail will work in that context, remove the current the magnetic field disappears...
  14. You dare express doubt in my expertise of bigfooot excrement? My pappy can even tell the individual bigfoot by the smell of his excrement.
  15. Njoahnt, if he could really heal people why is he not employed by a hospital? yes i suffered through the entire mess, it was nonsense all the way through...
  16. Rigney, are you suggesting the medal themselves are worth a huge some of money?
  17. It's commonality is not the issue here njaohnt, the fact remains that people get better, atheists, Hindus, murderers, saints, pagans and, everyone else gets better sometimes. the faith healer is just taking advantage of this. yes, I was totally unimpressed by their lack of real evidence, much of it was hype, misinformation, argument from incredulity, straw man after straw man, and just plain horse feathers, in places even the videos even admitted to not being able to prove their points... The burden of proof is on someone who asserts something as true, not on the people who do not believe him...
  18. If the resistance to heavy metals is acquired by vertebrates i would suggest that cooperation with bacteria that detoxify heavy metals is far more likely. Elephants is a good example of this, they eat things like grass, leaves, tree bark, small limbs and anything else vegetable they can ingest but they can't digest any of it, in fact with out their symbiotic bacteria that actually do the digesting they would starve no matter how much food they ate. Due to the elephants slow reproductive rate i once saw an estimate we that it would take literally billions of generation of elephants have a decent chance evolving the ability to digest their food items. Symbiosis with bacteria is far quicker and cheaper from a genetic stand point. Instead of evolving these traits complex animals use bacteria to do the work for them, termites are another example... with out their gut bacteria they could not eat wood...
  19. Aluminum was one of the metals i never was able to smelt when i was young, i did the same thing some of the others mention, I managed to melt tin, copper, lead, solder, and I managed to get steel so hot is was like taffy but it never really melted. I had several accidents not the least of which was my fire enclosure exploding because i made the first one out of sand stone, i was lucky, i ended up with molten lead all over me... All i ever got out of aluminum cans was a fire...
  20. Dark matter is known due to it's gravitational influence njaohnt, yes that means there is actual evidence it exists, what it is exactly is contested if i understadn it correctly but it's existence is derived from the effects of it's gravity. The healer at your church is no better than any other faith healer. Does he regrow severed limbs? Restore eyes? If you were to look into it secretly you would find out he is a charlatan... No faith healer has ever healed anyone at a rate any higher than natural recovery and yes people do recover naturally from things even cancer. Njoahnt you are being mislead by these people, you don't have to stop believing in god but faith healers are charlatans, it's a win win for them every time they try to heal, if it works then god healed them, if it doesn't work then the person didn't believe strongly enough. They can't loose, it's like the casinos in Vegas, he always wins because he is fake and doesn't have to heal everyone to prove it to people who want to believe so badly. These "faith" healers are quite frankly the worst of the worst, lying in the name of god, if the god of the bible exists he must have a very special hot place for faith healers... You are young, your exploration here at least shows you are questioning what you are being told, continue to do so, do not simply believe because some one told you it was true. Investigate it your self and finding that the things that fundamentalists say have to be true for god to be true is false. They worship a book written by men about the myths of their favorite gods. You do not have to give up believing in god to understand that natural processes can account for the universe we see today. think of it as science discovering how god really did it... Don't worship a book njaohnt, you can still believe in God and understand that science has the answers and the book these people worship does not. It is demonstrably wrong about it's description of the natural world and how it works. To believe in the validity of science doesn't mean you are an atheist no matter how many times they claim it to be the case... I did watch your videos njaohnt, if i am part of a discussion I always look at the evidence presented...
  21. It's pretty much a certainty that the universe does not contain any stable elements we do not know about.
  22. Not stupid at all, i was trying to point out that aluminum burns, trying to smelt it requires special electrical equipment. If you are looking to concentrates it just smash the cans, they sell little devices that can flatten them out so that many of them fit in the same place one can would. melting them down will be a problem because they burn quite well...
  23. What religion exactly is the constitution of the USA based on? http://www.nobeliefs.com/Tripoli.htm
  24. I am selling insurance that will pay you 1 billion dollars if the world comes to an end before your own life time is over. All you have to so is send me $1,000 to insure the world will not end with in the span of your life. PM me for a paypal account you can send your money to...
