The Current hypothesis is that the big bang was a super Cooled Higgs field. -

Actually I disagree on there is no evidence of intelligent design. Think on this. We have a moon that had propelled us to seek a way to reach it, to motivate us to see what is there. On that moon there just happens to be ice, water that we can use for it is necessary for our survival. Next we have Mars, which just happens to be terraformable and also has a source of water. By the time we get to Mars we will need large amount of metals and ore to continue and Earth is a long ways away. We now have the asteroid belt to get raw materials from. Now by this time we need a more fuel and even more water to do deep space missions. Where do we go? Jupiter and its moons, which one of them has tons of water just happen to be available and the gas giant itself is a good source of fuel if we can collect it. Now is this all coincidence that this happened? Maybe, but I don't believe in coincidence. A Vacuous truth i believe. That is a logical fallacy. Right? -

uh, technically evolution is a theory. as i said, many (if not most) aspects of evolution are indeed fact, or at least testable (observable as well). though as a whole, it is a theory. i also noted that there are few scientific theories that ever make it into the realm of law or "fact." that's just the nature of science i guess. taks A Scientific Theory and a generic English definition of a theory are different. Evolution is a fact. Its not absolute, there are none in the scientific realm of reality, at least that we can ever prove beyond a doubt. Evolution is a fact of statistics, in every theory or even law there are straggling new discoveries being found being added and examined, gravity, plate tectonics, and evolution included. Their facts, until proven otherwise. Science is self correcting, gotta love it. -

Whats harder to believe. That the universe was created by a complex intelligent designer(scientology beings or Abrahamic god) Where did those being come from then? Or that The universe always existed, partivles always collided and crashed discovering random compatibility with eachother by trial and error? We have a mechanism called evolution that works. To say ______ (<---put a gods name in the space) created the universe, makes us erase an entire mechanism (evolution) that works. There is no evidence for intelligent design, there is no theory of how it works except that its "complex" Its taking a step in the axial model, why not go back to Plato's Forms instead of the second rate philosophy of today. -

ok gods great, god persues everyone.... lots of great stuff thrown around, but WHERES THE PROOF! Gimme the evidence, lets critically think. If you have no empirical evidence gimme your logical and ill counter it. -

uh, given your previous statement did you intend to say "... do teach as fact"? if so, then perhaps the lines are blurred from your high school perspective on what constitutes the differences between fact and theory? not meant to be a criticism, but i'm just saying that maybe hindsight, after you're well out of school, will allow you to see your teachings in a different light. it is, after all, referred to as "the theory of evolution" by most mainstream scientists. many (if not most) aspects of evolution are indeed fact, as they have been observed, though some of the mechanisms are in question or at least debatable. no, btw, i'm not in high school, though i am in school yet again. fortunately, i'm done with my classwork focusing on research at this point. taks Tak are you saying its incorrect to call evolution a fact? I think you might be playing semantics if you are implying so. -

Noahs Ark found? Critically think this through and you will find that a negative period. You can think what you want though. I wont attack you, but your ideas have not been critically examined by yourself. To look at a piece of desert that has a ridge and claim that as Noah's ark just because of its shape sounds rather hilarious. Can you give some real evidence so we can continue this debate? Please you can go into irreducible complexity, 2nd law of thermodynamics, entropy, the idea that DNA mutation doesn't add new information rather it just adds more of the same. how about fossil records and the DIFFERENT kinds of fossil dating methods their are and how accurate they are. How about statistics. Its takes extraordinary evidence to prove extraordinary claims. Lets have it. EDIT: I only see one post by this guy is he coming back? -
You've sparked my interest, Ill check it out definately at the library, or book store. Thanks!

nice Metaphor! I actually have a Peaches CD The Teaches of Peaches. Haha shes a freak, kinds fugly too, but her illicit lyrics rock.

It just shocks me that when a goverment worker is doing a poor job the people can't fire him. I'm 25 and haven't paid much attention until right before Clinton left office, so politically I'm inexperienced and have a thing or two to learn for sure. I don't think its my emotions that are showing from my posts, i think its actually my ignorance of politics, and how backwards the system is. Every week I find something completely new to me to explore in politics which leads to new ideas, and then i have to relate the ideas to what reality, and then to pop politics. tit for tat... thats new to me! Clinton's impeachment was the revenge for Nixon and Reagan? You can lie to the American people but you can't lie to congress/under oath. Hell 8 years ago i didn't know how to distinguish liberals, conservatives, democrats or republicans. Gotta love the information age though! So many resources and people to talk to on the net, you can find a whole lot of anything here on the internets! I really do love talking to you guys about politics religion and philosophy, i appreciate the dialog we share, if not by learning new facts then by learning new points of view that we all exchange with each other.

Ikoru (to live) A Japanese existential film in black and white. I thought it was going to be anime but I find this film interesting none the less. I like it.

How about we impeach the president for waiting 7 minutes while our country was under attack. Bush Administration also threatened to attack Iran, violation of the US charter, charters are treaties, and artical 6 of our constitution says treaties are the supreme law of our land. its illegal to threaten them. Iran has no ability to attack us, and they have no intention to attack the US. Wire tapping Americans without warrants. btw, your argument on Bush not being under oath is reasonable. Although to speculate on the future of Iraq is on shaky grounds I believe. So I can't stand by that reasoning. As for bush being a dictator for seizing the peoples rights to defend themselves. dictator

He took habeas Corpus out, that in effect made this country a dictatorship, if I am wrong can you explain? Whats the point, though because Bush is the law. Chaney is his own goverment and the white house administration doesn't have to answer to anyone. They don't have to answer to subpoenas, they get their own out of Jail, they can veto what they want, and hide, burn shred, erase emails and documents all they want. And why the heck haven't the democrats ended the war yet? Do they want it to go on also?! None the less there, are lies we've caught them on tape during interviews talking about "irrefutable evidence of WMD's", "the smoking gun", "Bullet Proof Evidence" Links to Al Queda, etc... Were these not hard facts? Did they say their was evidence for these, Yes they did - we have the administration on tapes. Why can't we get them on these lies? They got Clinton telling lies about his P#%1S, why can't they get bush On selling a sham that cost lives to the American, and Iraqis? You can make anything you want out of Information ([as Bush Administration did] ie: Joe Wilson). They even stated Zarqowi was in Iraq plotting terror. To start a "pre-emptive war" without evidence though... come on. Shame on Bush and his administration.
-
Military intelligence is not a lie, its just information. Hell Clinton got impeached for you know what. Its Bush, Chaney, and Rumsfelds "IRREFUTABLE CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER scare tactic to get the American public to think there was actually a "Smoking gun" that was found. But there was never a smoking gun found. There was never a link of Al Queda to Iraq until after we invaded. Zarqowie was only there to go to the hospital, that was made clear. Even after this was all grounded in reason they still clung to their false lies. The war is obviously a sham. The president sold it to us, and we bought the lies of Iraq and are paying the price everyday, and years to come... The president and Vice president do not deserve to run this country after creating a tragedy. What else could go wrong right??? his approval ratings collectively are @##$ I wouldn't trust them to take a poop in my toilet, they'd flood it! Why should we continue to trust them with the peoples goverment after all these tragedies that have happened while they have been in office?! This one is a great tragedy... Have you ever read General Taguba's Report (Edit: fired for doing his job correctly)Barely anyone there was from Al Queda, only a few, some were just common petty criminals caught from the street brought there. Not all issues are black and white. Bush stripped Habeas Corpus making this country a Dictatorship. It might have changed since then but the fact remains he treated out constitution as toilet paper for his own petty war. These prisons still exist. He lied to us about wire tapping invading our privacy. He even wanted to check our libraries, 1984 style. Bush and Chaney still believe this war is a good thing. That we Stopped Saddam Hussein, blah blah blah... ignoring the acid that being spilled the shiites, with the sunni shiite conflict, the civil war. The bombings their are daily, soldiers and civilians are dying left and right. And I'm suppose to keep the leader in charge who led us into that mess? It can get worse, the american people deserve better. I don't need an answer to all of this. but the disaster would not be impeaching Bush and Chaney, it would be the CURE! Flatly, do you believe we should keep Bush and Chaney in office after everything that has happened while they have been in office? Should we let politicians run amok like this? I believe not.

... Impeach bush. The Case for Impeachment: The Legal Argument for Removing President George W. Bush from Office : Clicky!!!! We can't trust Bush and Cheney, We don't need a revolution to get rid of a bad leader. Bush administration cares nothing for our constitution, they've repeatedly proved this. Impeachment is the cure not the disease. Shouldn't we protect our constitution? Clicky!!!

Well the pigs names aren't those, but i can see it symbolically for sure. The disagreement trick that led up to the windmill was an interesting twist, that i did not expect.

Super Size me (Documentary) It had me entertained, i liked it. The guy is crazy, we all knew it was going to end up like that. Did anyone see the bonus matierial called "the smoking fry"? The fry Mc'D fries stayed in a jar FOR MONTHS and did not decompose a bit!!! They looked the same as the day he bought them! Jesus Camp (Documentary) This disturbed me... The lady running the evangelical Jesus Camp was a pastor who wanted her kids to be as passionate about Christ as the Muslim kids are holding guns and grenades. She wanted to prepare the next generation to combat islam and prepare for the apocalypse that christians will be responsible for making it come true. Howl's Moving Castle (anime), i "finished" before I started this movie and ended dozing off 45 minutes into it. Ehh, can't say much about this one. Next on the list is Frida.

Animal Farm by George Orwell depressing little read. I had no idea what the book was about but after just a few pages i knew what was going to happen.

I know! My second time getting half way through and eventual beating Oblivion/knioghts of the nine/ shivering isles was a walk in the park! If you set your character up correctly, you just plow through, or sneak right by inviso.
