Antarctic Lake Actually Two in One
Scoria writes "USA Today reports: Scientists have discovered that Lake Vostok, a liquid freshwater lake which has been isolated from the world beneath 4 km of ice for approximately 500,000 years, contains two separate basins. They believe that the basins, which are divided by a ridge that limits water exchange, may host individual ecosystems that are home to ancient microbes."

ADOLF HITLER & MICHAEL MOORE
Both born in April (Hitler: 20th - Moore: 23rd)
Both went to France and won awards (Moore: The Palm d'Or - Hitler: The Iron Cross)
Both had editorial control over extremist newspapers
Exploitation of where they grew up (Moore: Flynt, Michigan - Hitler: All of Austria)
The advocation of gun control
Self proclaimed "champions of the working class"
The understanding of yellow journalistic propaganda and the power of extorting fear through violence
A good pounding on any podium
Labeling anyone who opposes them as simply "mad" or "crazy"
Public verbal abuses and tirades
Putting any and all blame on the government or others for society's ills, but never themselves
Their followers and believers becoming violent if even so much as slightly criticized
Use of racial theories as means of propaganda
Amassing fortunes by exploiting the pain and suffering of others
Bush: "Vostok represents a clear and present danger to the United States of America. We must wipe out any forign alien bacteria in Vostok because they may be plotting against us! I call for congress to give me thirty billion dollars to fund operation Infinite Justice^2 so we can launch a crusade an wipe out the Weapons of Microbial Destruction in Vostok!"
In nature, there are neither rewards or punishments, there are only consequences.
creation science is an oxymoron
I'm a chainsmokin' alcoholic sociopath, so-ci-o-path
Thank you for your opinion.
I happen to believe that the term "evolutionary science" is the oxymoron since its theories are often laced with opinion, conjecture and plain bad science. At least creation science is anchored in SOMETHING, albeit the bible which not everybody believes in.
Certain people want to kill/refute/get rid of God so badly that they will embrase any theory no matter how silly in the sight of empherical science.
It's pretty pathetic that you need a documentary to explain Fox's bias. Why don't you quit smoking crack, stop sucking michael "propagandist" moore's cock and just go crawl in a hole to die.
This will be more evironmentally freindly than using valuable oxygen.
God forbid you should have to do your thinking for yourself.
In reading the comments for this story, I came up with a brilliant idea. Scientists are current working on ways to come in contact with the water under europa's surface. Seems like if we started a rumor that it was filled with a colony of little boys, we could watch the catholic church launch an expedition with Michael Jackson as captain. Then we, as humans, are guaranteed to come in contact with it and be able to have them take samples.
However, I would be kind of scared to let them go, because, what if they meet up with some aliens? What if the aliens are cute and 4 feet tall? I guess it serves them right for giving US anal probes for the last few thousand years.

Creationism isn't a scientific theory because God is another theory. A theory without proof to confirm that He exists.
God doesn't exists... That's a story that your parents, grands-parents (,etc.) told you to respect some values or to be easily manipulated by the elites(Church, Republican leaders, etc.).

Since the heat requirements grows exponentially to melt a larger volume of ice
why do people abuse the word "exponential"? if you take an argument based on the radius, the amount of energy needed to melt it grows cubically.
