DNA has been recovered from animals extinct for many thousands of years....

South Carolina? Surprise at anything that happens there? Until recently the age of sexual consent was about 3, you could drive an automobile before you could count. Being a judge only required you have low friends in high places, experience with the law other than breaking it was not a prerequisite. In another 100 years the state might get it's act together but even as southern states go SC is a bad joke...

Wow, thanks for resurrecting this thread but I've read through it several times and talk about ignoring the real issue! Some facts There was no world wide fireball, probably lots of fires set around the glob from reentry of debris but no world wide fireball. There were no marine dinosaurs, none, period.... All marine top predators were impacted severely, only sea turtles survived among the marine reptiles. Quite possibly because they were the only marine reptiles that ate plants and jellyfish which as seen in todays oceans seem to do well in environmental upheavals. Not a real image of course but it illustrates the problem well. Jelly fish are becoming a real problem around the world in waters both stressed by environmental pollution and removal of predators of jelly fish like sea turtles. http://www.thetechherald.com/article.php/200832/1636/Increase-in-world-jellyfish-population-bad-sign-for-planet-scientists Environmental stress always impacts top predators/consumers more than lower level creatures in the food chain, dinosaurs were the epitome of top predators/consumers. In a blizzard with no shelter a shrew would die far quicker than an elephant and an elephant or elephant sized creature could live far longer than a shrew sized animal even with the same metabolism which shrews obviously do not have. A shrew dies with in hours of not feeding, and elephant lives for days maybe weeks with no food and can recover when food becomes available, the shrews are all dead... Birds die in the winter of freezing quite often, some times falling from the sky in large numbers, small birds are more vulnerable than large birds... An amazing number and diverse species of animals survived the K/T boundary (many plants didn't make it either) All most all can be said to have been preadapted for survival, burrowing birds, hibernating reptiles and mammals, hibernation or estivation would seem to be key in the survival of species across the KT boundary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estivation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibernation

No, I look at the magnificence of what can happen when chaos is unleashed.

Today I am 147, most of the time I am 17, until i move then I feel every one of my 55 years....

So in the twin paradox both with be young? If all frame of reference are real then not only is the mass real (eventually you or a particle should collapse into a black hole if you accelerate close enough to the speed of light) Both frames of reference should be time dilated permanently, no twin paradox?

I regularly drive to see my son and the distance is 175 miles, driving 15 mph slower takes significantly less fuel. 3/4 of a tank at 80 mph 1/2 at 65.

Sulfuric acid on Venus might be connected with life on that planet as well. http://www.accessexcellence.org/WN/SUA09/venus297.php http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/V/Venuslife.html So maybe the sulfuric acid is not as big a deal as we think...

Actually i am running an experiment along those lines, i ma attempting to grow miniature Paddlefish Polydon spatula. the fist achieves 5 feet in the wild i have several i am trying to stunt

This I agree with, the give and take of the people is what makes it work. With out it we would slowly coast to a stop So the only people who should make the decisions are the ones you agree with? Everyone else is trying to destroy us? The give and take causes us to change directions, some times the driver is slow and makes wide turns but it's better than a driver that only turns one way, that results in circles... I firmly believe what worked 200 years ago just might not work quite as well now, our ability to adapt/change is what makes any people or nation great. Not being able to adapt leads to extinction for species and nations.

Titan is very interesting from a chemical point of view. i was hoping Titanides would have four legs and two arms and be 9 feet tall but I agree that microbes would be difficult to actually image and if they are different chemically than Earth life hard to detect chemically either.

So an object really doesn't become more massive as it's accelerated near the speed of light?

So going near the speed of light doesn't make a particle or space craft more massive?

I think people like Prager are more likely a source of the problems than a solution to them. America is made up of Conservative and Progressive forces, the balance between them is what makes us great, when one wins out we all loose in some way. Almost all internal crisis have been generated by a lack of balance, neither side is capable of governing competently, only by seeking a balance do we have a chance of staying great. Other countries where there is only one point of view are almost by definition less than capable of allow a person to be great, with out great people you do not get a great political system. It doesn't mean great is always right but the possibility of greatness has to be there before greatness can occur. Sometimes great is Conservative sometimes it's Progressive but it's always above the mediocre.

Agreed I disagree, depending on how tolerant your beliefs are the fear of being rejected due to some imperfection in your self is quite real, religion only gives life if you follow it "religiously" even a small discrepancy means hell fire. Religion only gives life to those who follow it and keeps all the faithful fearful of failing in some small way. I don't see it, no matter if i have cancer or am falling from a plane death will take me kicking and screaming like a cat being forced into a toilet, the lid will have to be kept down hard No they are there to make sure no one steps out of bounds, much like the sword of Damocles, step out of line and the faithful are there to slap you back into place. Still religion creates that fear and allows you to avoid it only by following certain rules just like a captor rules his hostage. You can't be serious, you only behave because of fear of punishment? Simply behaving like you would like others to behave if you were them isn't enough?

But is it real? If not then what is real? If everything depends on your perspective then is nothing real but your perspective?

So the mass is never real from all perspectives?

if accelerating an object adds mass because you have to apply energy to it, shouldn't decelerating an object also add energy to it? lets say you doubled the mass of a partical by accelerating it, wouldn't decelerating it double it again?

Have any studies done by non Muslims confirmed these benefits?

They are quite adaptable as far as water temps go and even water quality for that matter. They are not as hard to keep as i had been told but I think they are going to be rather boring, very little personality so far. The require an open tank with no decorations to speak of, i have them in bare tank with a fine sand bottom. They will require a very big tank eventually, these will probably end up at the college in alcohol after I am finished with them.

Maybe hemp is just better to make you feel good about the energy crisis, lol

A week ago i received some baby paddlefish from a breeder I know. they are very shark like and so far fairly easy to keep. here are some pics. Sorry about the focus, i can't seem to get my camera to focus on them correctly.

Lets just filter ethanol through hemp and drink it, why would hemp be any better than any other plant to grow for bio-mass?

All I can say is awesome correlation!
