I mean what else could be the cause of medicineman and ZenMaster arguing on the same side of an issue?!?! | Even in the fray of politics there is some common ground. Example: If some foriegn entity invaded our country, I'm pretty sure every man that owned a gun would be willing to defend his country, kind of like the Iraqis are doing.

If you want or need to belong to a church or religion thats great. Just remember that the church/religion came about to control the masses. You can't fault any ones religious views because they are in most cases taught form birth and A child will trust there parents for a good long time. long enough to have their brains programed to belive in something. So on goes the war who is the all mighty. To me it sounds like a case of my winkie is bigger then your winkie. |

Do you believe in string theory? How would we be able to make this prediction since its an infinitesimally small entities. Its pretty wild if you ask me, but I have never actually ventured into the subatomic cosmos so I don't have the faintest clue.  To imagine that we are all quintessentially just oscillating 'string' at various frequencies is pretty wild stuff.
They say gravity might be a 'closed loop string' and capable of effecting things in parallel universes because of the closed loop. Thats why gravity is so weak relative to the other forces-because it only partially interacts with our universe......  Idk, its kinda intense stuff.  |

I have no idea - arguably, it isn't really science right now since we can't test any predictions that it makes - but that will change. To be honest, I have a hard time wrapping my head around big bang - string theory is way beyond my comprehension.
If the predictions it makes are observed to be true, that will only be one piece of evidence. If it is false, we'll have to scrap it and come up with something different. |

This whole creation v. evolution thing is STILL pretty silly. It was absurd 30 years ago when I was in college and nothing has changed.
There are NO complete fossil records of any animal on earth. There are always "missing links" in the chain of developments. Also, there are many other unresolved issues, as well.
However, examples of accelerated development do exist in some cases. For example the development of superior staff strains in super-clean hospitals or the development of rattlesnakes without rattlers.
So this is a conundrum with no conclusion. Sort of a modern day argument about which came first, chickens or eggs. In other words, both creationists and evolutionists are correct and wrong. Both at the same time. |
