    Do you accept evolution as fact? Yes/No?

    You know, upon thinking about this, I'm not entirely sure that abiogenesis IS taught widely, as some claim. Ask the average middle school student what evolution is, and then ask them what abiogenesis is. From what I can recall from my own primary education, I think most teachers just sort of...

    Chicken or the Egg?

    I read an interesting article that talked about a possible evolutionary course for humans. It talked about how brain function and eyesight would become more important as we became more technical and relied more on computers and such with time, so it's possible that larger brains and larger...

    Chicken or the Egg?

    Not an inflamatory question at all. And you're exactly right. That's why caucasians and asians have lighter skin than africans. once man left africa, high amounts of melanin were not necessary, as they weren't living in the equatorial plains of africa. therefore children born with less of...

    Do you accept evolution as fact? Yes/No?

    I just suppose I'll never understand why anyone would choose to believe in a God that hates everything you do if it's not specifically to please him. First, what 'allegorical position' is the result of recent scientific theories? Are you insinuating that young earth creationism is...

    Do you accept evolution as fact? Yes/No?

    For one, I wasn't talkinga about man in general. I was specifically asking you about your wicked and deceitful heart. I don't know about you, but I lead a decent life because I like it. I don't not commit crime because it's against the law, I don't commit crime because I have no desire to. I...

    Do you accept evolution as fact? Yes/No?

    So, without complete and literal faith in the Bible, you're saying you would fall to the wicked and deceitful desires of your heart? Just curious, but what exactly are those wicked desires? Do you know what they are, or is it just that Catholicism has told you that your heart is wicked?

    Do you accept evolution as fact? Yes/No?

    Very interesting links. Thanks. I always did find it a bit odd that the creation story was told...and then immediately told again.

    Chicken or the Egg?

    In speciation, genetic changes eventually lead to the creation of a new species from an existing one. The first 'chicken' was hatched from an egg laid by its parent. Its parent was a chicken-like animal, but just on the other side of the species line. that's a really simplistic look at it...

    Chicken or the Egg?

    If you're religious, then it was the chicken that came first, as God created the chicken, and then that chicken laid the first chicken egg. If you're not religious, then it was the egg that came first, as the first modern chicken was born from an egg that was laid by a slightly less evolved...

    Kyoto

    We're on the same side of the fence here. I'm just stating facts. I'm not saying America should have signed it. I'm not saying Kyoto is the only reason other countries think America 'sucks'. I also don't think that America should have signed it "just because". All I'm saying is exactly what...

    Kyoto

    The governments may have changed their opinions, but the general public still sees America as the evil polluting giant that doesn't give two shits about the environment, all because we rejected Kyoto. Don't get me wrong, I disagree with the way Kyoto tries to achieve its goals, I'm just stating...

    Kyoto

    You should have stated you were referring to 'further' talks in your previous post. But nothing I've said is incorrect. Everyone thinks we're jerks for not signing the Kyoto Treaty, regardless of whether anyone wants to continue it past 2012 or not.

    The Elemental Phase Deconstructor.

    to echo bob and cirthix, the amount of energy required to overcome the strong nuclear force that holds the subatomic particles together is so large the whole process becomes pointless.

    Do you accept evolution as fact? Yes/No?

    Well, if we're taking the Bible literally: As far as I know, when Genesis speaks of a 'day', there is no reference as to whether that is one of God's days or one of Earth's days. If one day on Earth can be 1000 years to the Lord, and a day to the Lord can be 1000 years on earth, isn't it...

    Sens. Clinton and Kerry Push for Voting Holiday

    Revolutionary? I've been complaining about the need for an election holiday since the '00 elections... I think it's exactly what we need to help get people to the polls. the only downside is that it's possible will just take monday off as well and use the four day weekend as a vacation...

    Kyoto

    Um, what in the sam hell are you talking about? What has the world united behind the US on? Most countries still think we're a bunch of jackoffs for not ratifying Kyoto. We're the world's largest producer of greenhouse gases. We produce more emissions than all of Europe and Africa combined...

    Marriage in the March of Time

    Well, I might as well jump on the bandwagon here and criticize your post :D First off, like just about every other person against gay marriage, you can't see past the physical act of lovemaking. You're so transfixed on what two men might do in the privacy of their own bedroom, you can't see...

    Seven NAMBLA Members Busted in Sex Sting

    He never insinuated that the article did say that. The article clearly states that 20% of child abusers are the father of the child. If you go with the stat that 27% of women were abused as children, then 20% of 27% of fathers abuse their children. So about 5.4% of fathers are child...

    Kyoto

    About Canada, if you look at the NYTimes graphic, the actual reduction required is about 15-20%. But the environment doesn't give a damn about percentages. It only cares about raw tonnage. Canada produced about 200 million tons in 2002 and needs to reduce its emissions to what looks to be...

    Kyoto

    Well, the original nytimes.com link I posted is now unavailable. Luckily, I downloaded the graphic before then, so I rehosted it. So you'll need to check out my original posts for the graphic, not anything that's quoted (can't edit the quotes :D).

    Kyoto

    I'd like to point out that Australia has higher 'per-capita' emissions than the US, by more than one ton of gas per person. /just sayin' On another note, people like to automatically claim anyone against Kyoto is some neocon who's in bed with industry. Remember that it was voted against...

    also a good point. It's not the countries themselves that are polluting, it's the industries in said countries. And industry can always pick up and move.

    Here is some more information I got from the graphic after some measurements in photoshop: link again: http://www.space-for-a-name.net/Assets/kyoto.gif Taking into consideration all the countries on the graphic, the countries that are emitting more than in 1990 would need to reduce...

    I see a lot of misunderstanding of the Kyoto Treaty. here's a useful graphic: http://www.space-for-a-name.net/Assets/kyoto.gif Here's what it shows: - China and India, the 2nd and 3rd largest polluters on the planet, don't have to do a thing because they are labeled as 'developing'...

    Report: Global warming approaching critical point

    Exactly. I've said this earlier in this thread. Or perhaps not...I forget with all the climate based threads I've been in as of late. I'm not saying anything about Bush's accountability. I'll be the first to say that things have been shady. But I don't see what that has to do with...

    Seven NAMBLA Members Busted in Sex Sting

    And I've never murdered anyone, know anyone who's been murdered or know anyone who's murdered someone else, but it's obvious that it does happen. A lot. And most straight males aren't sick pedophiles. My guess is that the percentage of men who've abused a child is much less than the...

    Seven NAMBLA Members Busted in Sex Sting

    First, your causation is backwards. Women that have been sexually abused as children likely have a higher rate of psychological problems. Either way, what difference does it make to the study? They didn't survey only women with psychological problems. Why are you trying so hard to reject...

    Seven NAMBLA Members Busted in Sex Sting

    I gotta side with aidanjm on this one. Sexual abuse of children is much more widespread than you believe it to be. You can find this out easily by doing a bit of internet research. Again, you'll see 30% is pretty accurate according to aidanjm's last post. 27% of women reported being...

    USB Flash Drive for transferring between Mac & PC??

    I'm looking to get a USB flash drive to transfer files between my Powerbook and my desktop PC, but from some of the related threads I found here it seems like Windows will format the flash drive when I use it. If this is the case, will I then be able to use it on my powerbook? Or inversely, if...

    Can God (if there is one) make something so.......

    You're absolutely right. The problem comes when one tries to constrain a divine being by the laws of logic. When you take a step back from logic, the answer is pretty simple. God is omnipotent, meaning God can do anything, thus: Can God create a mountain so heavy he cannot lift it? YES...

    Chromosome challenge

    That's an interesting point, and I hadn't looked at it that way. If God did create everything, and taking into account that his 'code' would have been DNA, it would make sense even from a Creation standpoint that a chimpanzee's DNA would be so similar to a human's.

    Now you're assuming. Did I say anything of his post? No. Just because he was insulting or belittling in his post doesn't prevent me from pointing it out in your post. Ignorance about the origins of life on this planet and ignorance as to the meaning of someone's post are two different...

    Wow. Never before have I seen someone take another's post SO out of context in an attempt to belittle his position. 1. You know damn well that he means there was never a 'great flood' that covered the earth during Noah's lifetime. Geology can prove this, because when water covers land...
