  1. I was listeing to NPR today. THey had a spot about Pope Benedictine the XVI, he is going against relativism. Relativism is: You have your beleifs, i have mine, just because they are different doesnt mean that either of them are wrong. If This Pope is against Relativism then he needs to be thrown out of the window. relativisim takes a step towards world peace and understanding. Its foolish when one group thinks they have the absolute truth, when just around the corner someone else has their version of it. Sorry for posting so many in such a short time
  2. 1 reason BUsh won is because the baby boomers that were born. its one contributing factor. soon their numbers will drop and our goverment will evolve as it should, this was just a set back hopefully.
  3. The US was suppoer to be a Constitutional Semi Republic. The people don't have a vote. Whats your opinions on this form of gov?
  4. My step father is a republican and a athiest also. Hes a nice guy , we just have diffrent pespectives, he wants smaller gov, i like the idea of a bigger gov. Will an athiest ever become president? Hard question, I think it will take another century. Look it up in the bible, im sure its when rapture jesus and hell comes. Christians sure do change the metaphors of the bible around alot.
  5. Here is a great link that gets underneather the meaning and outlook of democracy. Parascience.org Democracy, what a great idea!!!
  6. Sorry Ceweked! i was reading through post and had yuour name mixed up sith another!
  7. I do not like the republican version of democracy - Small. If we have a small goverment then it can have outside influences, like oil tycoons or really any top business with enough money to get away with whatever they want. if they have influence then the people lose that much power. is it really the peoples goverment anymore? No. we need to keep it big. Look what roosevelt did with his growing goverment, he built airports and highways. Ceweked, I will complain as much as i want to strive for a perfect society the best i can. You can call me a fool but, Do you really think keeping silent when your goverement fails you is being a patriot?
  8. Isle of Man has the oldest continuous democracy: Iceland had a break for fifty years or so back in the last century of the first millennium (er, the tenth century, then). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A mere technicality
  9. Didn't democracy kill Socreates? I have a tough time beleiveing some peoples vote is worth more then others, when people get all there news from a television box. i wonder if they have a mind still after frying it from a tv for so many hours a week. passive learning is the worse type. We need better education systesm throughout the world Speaking of oligarchi Kaftan, The US is becoming one! a coprarete military theologocal oligarchi, its so very scarey. iceland is the purest form of democracy we have right now, it is the oldest.
  10. These new consoles comming out are going to be powerful... still need a computer though
  11. Guns don't killpeople, its the sound that does. BANG!
  12. I am not a religious man. The metaphor about the mustard seeds symbolizes that very unity in a perspective doesn't it? Matthew 13:31-32 He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. 32 Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches." (NIV) Just though it to be intresting.
  13. Isn't it intresting how mystries will get realted to God's always? There might be a god. maybe that god is what unifies us. the universe that does unify us. maybe that particle IS the god. its us, its everything. does it points fingers? i don't think so. its neutral. its always been nuetral. With all of these great machines that we have to show us truth we still go to traditional methods. I can see how the traditional methods can be beneficial to many people. whats more important, happiness or reason? its a tough call...
  14. collection of ideas of what happened before the big bang. Ideas of what might have happened before.
  15. M Theory is the current idea of what happened before the big bang. i dont see a begining though... this one has to do with string theory and deminsions. string theory is basically small strings that vibrate, they make up everything, they unify everything. M Theory
  16. "the origin of the universe is only a bigger form of the same experiment using the energy stored in the curved gravitational field (casismir effect i think!) of the primordial universe..as the driving spring." can't tell if source is realiable.
  17. It seems as thought my description of a vacuum is currently wrong. a vacuum is not empty, there is still energey inside a vacuum. its called the casimir force.
  18. this is not a theory, its a guess. just like saying there is a god.
  19. The big bang is really called a super cooled higgs feild. it sems possible to me
  20. The Vacuum Genesis That theory is based on the Uncertainty Principle which says that every particle can, but the chance for it is very low, appear from the vacuum. According to the theory there are two options: A. All the universe appeared in one moment. The chance that that kind of thing happened is VERY low, almost zero, but it is possible. B. Many particles appaered and they were the base of the big bang. The chance is still very small but it's also possible. Its more a philosophy of physics since there is no way to experiment this thought. atleast yet. and perfect vacuums in laboratories are impossible to make. also a vacuum means an area with no matter at all. So give me comments, im intrested to hear them, this is all new to me!
  21. Anybody see that movie with Ben Aflack and Jenny from the block? G'IGLE i cried it was so funny! terrible terrible movie, i want my life back!
  22. Becoming content would be the problem.
  23. I think that is the best interpretation of death i have ever heard.
  24. What do you think got the ball rolling. i mean why is the universe here, not a reaon but how. what got everyting started, i know that there might be a creator, but that beigns to be paradox, because where did the creator come from? so what got the ball rolling?
  25. That sounds right to me Steve.
