I went to your thread, I had avoided it because I have been a bit tired of god exists threads and from your first post I was sure that either you were just another godfly or so far above my head I had no idea what you were talking about but after reading the entire thread I discovered that you deserved every - reputation point you got and then some. Just because you are more intelligent or think you are more intelligent does not give you a free pass to be an arrogant (not allowed word). You come across as trollish even if you really do know what you are talking about and the god of the gaps is always a weak position. Your lack of support for your own god of the gaps assertion shows you either have none or are trolling... If you do indeed have this information then tell us what it is, if it has to be in tiny baby bites so we can understand then so be it but arrogantly trying to ram the idea that you know and we don't with no support is trolling... So far i have not seen anyone with real knowledge refuse to try and explain their knowledge in terms that can be understood and I am sure that even if i can't at least some of the people here could understand if it was presented simply enough...

No, i saw that is was humor but I think, our friends missed it... Umm... there seems to be a post missing here, something from "There is more" ? well dimreepr lives hear Stonehenge but have you been to either place?

No I am seldom rude, a bit opaque at times and occasionally ignorant but rarely rude, I am from the south (transplanted), I am Southern Gentleman

A duck walks into a bar and asks, "Got any grapes?" The bartender, confused, tells the duck that no, his bar doesn't serve grapes. The duck thanks him and leaves. The next day, the duck returns and says, "Got any grapes?" Again, the bartender tells him that, no, the bar does not serve grapes, has never served grapes, a...nd, furthermore, will never serve grapes. The duck, a little ruffled, thanks him and leaves. The next day, the duck returns, but before he can say anything, the bartender begins to yell: ''Listen, duck! This is a bar! We do not serve grapes! If you ever ask for grapes again, I will nail your stupid duck beak to the bar!'' The duck is silent for a moment, and then asks, ''Got any nails?'' Confused, the bartenders says no. ''Good!'' says the duck. ''Got any grapes?''

Stonehenge is an impressive construction but I would have to have more evidence that aliens did other than it was hard to do. We see, as the illustrations in your links show, the result but not the things like ramps and and other pieces of construction that went into making them. The 800 ton stones I was referring to is here. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/esp_baalbek_2.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavel_Pavel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_monoliths_in_the_world

I once moved a jeep through a mile of swamp with nothing but a hydraulic jack, and a piece of plywood, took me three days, the mud was so deep you had to crawl around in it... I have to admit those 800 ton blocks of stone are fascinating but i think a few thousand people with some primitive tools could move them, I'd like to know exactly how they did it but it doesn't inspire me to think of aliens.. I left some interesting patterns behind too...

I have to ask, what about these places makes you think aliens did it?

No sense of humor dude? I apologize if my attempt at humor was obtuse... oh and no the - rep didn't cause my panties to get into a knot...

If I remember correctly Darwin was troubled by the lack of transitional fossils but he did predict there would be such fossils and today we do have a plethora of transitional fossils. While Darwin was right about many things he didn't know at the time just how right he really was. There was no knowledge of DNA which meant that the mechanism of heredity was a mystery at the time and only the effects of heredity could be seen. I think it's amazing how close to right he really was considering the available information of the time.

Many people seem to think The Bible contains or is a work of genius due to things like prophecies that appear to come true. i think the real genius is in how people twist what the bible says to make it appear to be predicting the future. One particular supposed prophecy was and or is the rebirth of Israel, I remember this being used to scare people into believing the Apocalypse was near because the bible said that so many generations after the establishment of Israel the world would end and that it was imminent. There was a lot of fear and apprehension involved and I was a small child, it was very terrifying. It turned out that to make the prediction appear to be true they had redefined what a human generation meant among other things. This was accompanied by rumors that a couple of the revival leaders claimed that hitch hikers had been pickled up by several people only to suddenly claim in a loud voice that Jesus was coming soon and vanish out of the back seat of the cars. They had people whipped up into a real frenzy. It was almost 50 years ago now and I don't remember the details very clearly but I found out years later that the people in the revival movement at the time had lied just to torque the minds of the people who came to the tent revivals who really didn't understand what was being asserted.

For some odd reason a potential Zombie attack seems to be a big worry in recent times and Hyundai is ahead of the curve with it's new car! http://www.gizmag.com/hyundai-zombie-survival-machine/23064/

yet another wonderful change in education...

suck up...

There is more, you have been watching too much Star Trek, I love Star Trek, it is literally my favorite TV show but independent evolution on another planet, or even this one, will never produce human beings again. I think it's possible that intelligence might be vaguely human shaped but there will be no human alien hybrids and you know I am not talking about aliens in the sense of someone from another country. Again, you know that is not the context we are using alien here. It's so tempting to post a you tube video of a song that describes you perfectly but the Empress of everything says we need to be nice so i will... There is more, you obviously do not have a clue as to what heredity via common decent means. Humans cannot evolve independently on another planet... Now will you show a tiny bit of decorum and actually discuss this issue or are you going to pop off again like a 12 year old? and there is some question about why we have a reputation system...

At least NC isn't the only stupid state... Louisiana seems to be right in there as well...

The operational word here MrAndrew1337 is "if" there is no evidence of any gods or gods much less the one who supposedly inspired this stuff.

In Matthew 27 and no place else, in the bible or other historical records. 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 27:53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. Zombies are coming!

Again, looks, no matter how similar, are not evidence of reproductive compatibility. This is just insulting, when i was young I was really into the whole ancient astronauts thing, suggesting i only see one side is an assumption you made about me, it doesn't make it true. You come across like a religious zealot assuming anyone who disagrees cannot have really looked at what you believe. I was first made aware of the starchild skull many years ago, it was interesting, but later evidence shows it to be a hydrocephalic human infant and DNA confirms this. I'm not sure what your point here is, your rabid belief in this most closely resembles the belief in magic under wear than science... Lot of things are possible, some things that may be possible are so improbable as to be realistically impossible. No being who evolved on a planet other than Earth has any chance what so ever to successfully reproduce with a human... It's possible they might resemble us closely, the idea behind this being that intelligence is more likely in a certain shape much like an ichthyosaur and a dolphin. but reproduction is just not realistic. it's possible that aliens obtained specimens of human beings and bred and trained them for use in communicating with humans but I think it's more likely that humans anthropomorphized their idea of gods to resemble humans because they invented them. I do how ever think it's not only possible that aliens influenced humans in ancient times (the idea of humans being in league with aliens is possible even today) I think some of the art and writing of the ancients and even to the middle ages suggest aliens were interacting with humans in some way. "If" this is true some questions must be answered. Where did they come from How did they get here What are they doing here (i think it's important to consider how long they must have been here for these interactions to have taken place over such a huge time span) But it make my point clear, no human alien hybrids are possible and building megalithic structures would logically involve a huge effort, machines, and things like encampments for the aliens. No trace of anything alien has ever been found leading to the idea that they must have been neat freaks to not to have at least left behind their garbage and such. I think i can answer those questions and give a way to falsify the presence of aliens in our solar system....

I've had many discussions with people about homeopathy and deep into the discussion i realized they had no clue as to what homeopathy meant. I think there is wide spread confusion about what homeopathy is and to some extent i would be willing to bet it's intentional. Most people I've talked to seem to think it means natural or organic or some other less than accurate term. When I see homeopathic I read horse feathers...

I have to ask, why the obsession with rep points? I honestly can't remember when I looked to see what mine are, I looked at a certain person's rep recently when I noticed him begging for + rep points, because it struck me as an odd thing to do not because i was worried about his rep points. The quality of his arguments reflected his rep points fairly accurately. I am one of those people who are here to learn more than teach since my formal knowledge base is fairly small I expect little in return as far as rep points are concerned. Some of my stances are odd to say the least and I have learned why those stances are odd and some of those stances had to be abandoned others have been shored up by the criticisms I've received. I've learned quite a bit and I am not the same person i was when i signed up for this forum. All in all i am a better person or at least better at making a point due to this and another forum. I was a mod on yet another short lived forum about a body of knowledge i actually do know something about so i do have a small understanding of how little mods are often appreciated. All in all the rep points are at best a guide to understanding your own flaws and at worst an annoying reminder that i know very little about a whole lot of "stuff" and if not for spell check I'd be thought an idiot for sure. I have yet to be able to predict rep points on my posts, some posts i put a large amount of time, energy and passion into were ignored as far as rep points were concerend and a few posts i thought of as just off hand remarks garnered several + rep points... go figure

I don't worry too much about - rep unless i get more than one on the same post, get four or five and you've said something stupid....

Well it cures boredom for sure.... one way or another...

This looks interesting. http://www.universetoday.com/95991/new-flying-tea-kettle-could-get-us-to-mars-in-weeks-not-months/#more-95991
