  1. Well then I will have to add insult to injury, religion, all of them, are nothing but superstition, sometimes dressed up but a pig dressed up is still a pig... To be quite frank Yes.... Discussing it doesn't show it is flawed, in fact there is no reason to suppose no possible event can be uncaused... Under the correct conditions yes i can argue that life comes into being through natural chemical processes, those processes while not as well known at this time as the causes for the diversity of life are quite well formed and point very strongly to life being a natural byproduct of complex chemical reaction under the conditions of the early earth. As to why we have not seen other planets with life, how can we know, we haven't been to any planets like earth yet... Are you aware of any theories of the existence of the universe that do not require a starting gun? I suggest you learn to use google, google is your friend..
  2. Uh uh... sure it did... At least I know what Grok means... make a stew out of me when i die so you can grok me in fullness... Oh there must be a god and he hates me, that sounds like what our parents said!!! But then again... Oh yesssss, 1973..... cob nobbler lmao
  3. Indeed, it does have a suspiciously greasy "to good to be true" feel as though it were planned by the religious conservatives but I doubt there is that much real intelligence behind them... They don't seem to see that path leads to further and likely much more derisive competition between various religious sects, the most powerful dominate the little guys, it is a not a slippery slope, i suggest it is a cliff we are teetering on at this very moment. Modern technology almost certainly favors the powerful, religion meshed with government, banks, the military industrial complex... in our modern area will be the largest power concnetration in history of the modern world, we will bow down to big brother and the TV sets will have cameras in them.... They could now, the technology is there, just not the will to do it, but these people think they have the will of god. If I was a NAZI skin head i would still vote Democrat in the next election because the Republicans who are running are clowns, like Moe, Larry, and Curly running for president...
  4. I guess I'll have to give you two Drugstore cowboy but it alwasy meant the same thing as poser does now to us when we were young although originally it referred to a guy who dressed like a cowboy but had never ridden anything other than a stool in a drug store which way back when they had soda fountains in them. a car hop is waitress who serves food to people in their cars at driveins... We still have one here in Wilmington, NC called Merits Burger House, my wife's parents went there on dates... Then of course there was the quarter girl...
  5. he had a 4 speed in it at first but later put a quick shift auto but it keep destroying the auto...
  6. Aren't knickers still used in the UK? It's been a long time since i heard dungarees, pantaloons only in novels, the others I hear regularly... Lots of good ones there, of course some are still used but if I called my wife my old lady i might sleep alone awhile. Oh God, i remember party lines...
  7. You got one right... My uncle had a Goat with a 427, it could raise the front wheels in the air under hard acceleration... Hmmm, I still use all of those...
  8. The Christian right will not stop until they control everything.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominionism
  9. Oh come on, can you tell me what a drug store cowboy is with out looking it up? Car Hop? Soda jerk?
  10. I know I know, everyone thinks I like tearing into these threads but I really don't.. I just can't stand to see willful ignorance go unchallenged.... Ok, you are equating an apple and it's existence with what? The existence of the universe? The existence of life? Be specific because if i am to challenge your assumptions i need to know what they are... Again, define our origin... From where does this false understanding come from? What is the spark of life? What is god, much less a fragment of god, place show some evidence of either... I disagree, you must first define what IT is before you can say anything about IT and how IT is connected to you... Again, please define god and how is this god that you define connected with a circle... I have both a heritage and a legacy, if you do not I am sorry for you... Lack of a better definition? God is the point on a circle, there are an infinite number of points in a circle, which one is god? is it the god of the circle? Maybe, maybe not, you have chosen a point on a circle, out of an infinite number of points who gives you leave to call it god? No, you can see the point you have chosen for no apparent reason other the need to choose a point... So you get to choose the point of a circle and call it god because you need some sort of satisfaction? yes, i have searched and I found no god, no evidence of any god, just lots of people who claim to know god but cannot say who or what god is other than their own baseless claims... Another good reason not to believe in any god or gods...
  11. We all use slang in our language, it's part of how languages evolve, slang words become part of a language and slowly change that language. But there are also words or phrases that fall out of usage, words that no longer have meaning. Things like Drug Store Cowboy, does anyone remember what that means? Be fair, don't google it if you don't know what it means. Car hop? Soda jerk? How long before hacker become something no one knows what it means? How about sharing some of the words and phrases you remember that no long have real meaning in our society... Drug Store Cowboy Car Hop Soda Jerk Has to be more of them...
  12. Yeah, I like the duct tape thing too, even better is screaming na na na na na and holding my fingers in my ears....
  13. I think you have the context of the moon, the northern lights, the sunsets, the thickness of the atmosphere, the intensity of the northern lights, and the distance to the moon completely out of scale. Or I have no idea what you are talking about, quite possibly the latter...
  14. Maybe there is no available chemical that would facilitate absorption of all wave lengths of light.

  16. Umm, why would that light mix with the northern lights? Sunset is before dark, the aurora is after dark....
  17. I have no idea how authentic it is, just being modern day makes it suspicious due to the popularity of hoaxing but it is interesting if not a hoax. Lots of interesting stuff has been filmed or taped, no way to authenticate any of it as far as I know. Things that make you go Hmmmm....
  18. The paddlefish I have are supposed to be genetic dwarfs that occur naturally from time to time. I've had mine for almost two years and it is only 10" or so long. It's hatch mates are more than 24" long by now. They are called dinks or culls in the trade...

  19. I think that question has been answered, red and blue light power chlorophyll so the plants reflect green light. In environments where the light spectrum is significantly different other pigments have evolved but they work with chlorophyll. Chlorophyll's resemblance to other organometallic compounds commonly used by life suggests that chlorophyll came about because it was easier to modify existing compounds chemosynthesis was already based on rather than start over from scratch. I don't see why you can't see that...

  21. Earth's magnetic field is not strong enough to hover anything in the sky The moon is not stationary in respect to the earth surface, hooking the "cable" to the moon would result in the cable being wrapped around the earth like a spool of thread. Hovering sky station?
