"I also don't think hurting chests are cured by smokin' anything, but then again I knew a kid who'd cough until you gave him a menthol." That's how I am, and it is terrible. I wake up every morning hacking my lungs up until I get that first Newport.

Gravel and Paul would also change the marijuana laws. Not to mention the LP - I cannot recall a Libertarian candidate who did not advocate legalizing marijuana.

Correction on the statement regarding Buddhism in the first post: Self and thought are not two different things. Thought is a tool of the self (this is very similar to what Schopenhauer was talking about when he said that intellect is a tool of the will). Buddhists also introduce a third thing...

"could we just change the word "God" to "Aliens"? if one believes in god then they must also believe in aliens." I dont think so. See, with aliens you can calculate the probability of planets hosting intellegent life. In fact, Stephen Hawking discussed this in one of his books (either "The...

Chill kids, religion and spirituality can be a touchy subject - let's not get personal.

"thats exagtly it 2 manifestations of the same thing, and considering that most "real" science evolved from metaphisics...However, didnt Einstine already prouved that energy and matter are one and the same? I mean you can easily transform one into another, much like the chicken and the egg..."...

"Who is demanding there is no God? I'm demanding that there is no evidence whatsoever proving the existence of God. Of course there is always the possiblity that God exist, but I'm not going to believe it just because it is possible and cannot be disproven." Nor should you believe in God...

"and now the conclusion: the chicken and the egg are the same thing!" No, not really. They are two different "things" (chicken and egg), similar in that they are composed of the same "thing" (energy/matter) but due to the varying composition we can accurately call them two different things...

I think therefore I am, Descartes. Haven't we trivialized him enough over the past 400 years?

"and if you believe that god created man using evolution, it's possible YOU'RE reaching from some sort of compromise between religion and logic." Just as the non-existence of reality is possible. Really, I see no difficulty with such a claim, that God, being responsible for existence of...

Rather, the chicken and the egg are concepts we apply to particular arrangements of energy and matter for two reasons: 1) convenience 2) to denote particular relationships between the two arrangements of matter and energy. :blsmoke:

Thank you, and dont worry about it, I get a few of those every time I join a forum with this name.

I think a clarified version of the question would go something like: Which came first: a) adult chicken b) chicken egg A clarification that only seems to reinforce that the egg came first, unless an adult chicken could somehow develop from something other than a chicken egg.

That sounds like bogus. There are many different cannabanoids in marijuana, which is why there are different types of high. The varying presence of these cannabanoids in different strains is the cause of the differences between the highs you get. This is why synthetic THC is so different than...

The question, while witty, is too vague. "Chicken" brings up some difficulties, most notably, what would distinguish the earliest chickens from their evolutionary predecessor? Evolution is generally a slow process - very slow, occurring over tens of thousands of years at the swiftest pace. In...

Evolution is the accepted scientific theory for the development of all species, just as gravity is the accepted scientific theory for the way in which bodies of mass interact. As for God's involvement, it depends on your conception of God, even then, science generally does not attempt to...
