Creating Water from Thin Air
Iphtashu Fitz writes "In order to provide the U.S. Military with water in places like Iraq, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency gave millions of dollars in research funding to companies like LexCarb and Sciperio to try to extract water from the air. Amazingly, a company that DARPA didn't fund, Aqua Sciences, beat them all to the punch by developing a machine that can extract up to 600 gallons of water a day from thin air even in locations like arid deserts. The 20 foot machine does this without using or producing toxic materials or byproducts. The CEO of Aqua Sciences declined to elaborate on how the machine works, but said it is based on the natural process by which salt absorbs water."
It's good that our soldiers are out in the middle east doing their jobs
I and millons of others do not agree with that statement. Our troops should not be in Iraq.

Especially not that one. A tsunami wouldn't part the sea.

You mean `utterly disproves the medieval nonsense`? I guess it does.
Now you Christians are trying to pretend that the whole Bible is scientific, removing the aspects of magic? First intelligent design and now this. What a pain.
I prefer the practice of claiming more and more is figurative. It seemed like eventually the whole thing would be almost completely empty of anything literal.
Christians: The world and all the lifeforms were created in 6 days.
science: No. Here's the proof.
Christians: OMG We were just kidding. Duh! LOLOLOLOLERZ
I'm suprised those morons can read at all.
