Agreed. Scientists should be willing and eager to be proven wrong, but this is not and never has been the case. Ego gets in the way nearly every time. It is extremely hard for anyone to admit that an idea that you pioneered, or just something that you took for granted to be true for many years could be wrong.
When you start off with religion, and it doesn't matter which one, as your frame of reference for what is good and evil you have already failed. You may end up with a decent moral answer for some things, but you will end up perpetuating the hate of those who came before you.
I highly suspect that the reason you think the atheists you know are terrible stems directly from you knowing that they are atheist and nothing to do with how they actually behave. Or is it just that your set of morals, which were beaten into your head as a child, are as fucked up as the way they were taught to you.
Since you mentioned it in your previous post, good and evil are just opinions. The idea of what is good and what is evil is nothing more than a sliding scale comparing one action against another. There is no list delivered by some supreme being laying out any absolute morality, to think that such a thing exists is the height of ignorance, and to think that you know for certain what is moral and what is not is the height of arrogance.
Agreed. Personally I still haven't figured out if 'cold fjord' is a paid shill or just incredibly stupid. Regardless, he/she is exactly the type of person oppressive governments love and use to increase their power.
Nuclear power is prohibitively expensive only when you factor in all the international laws designed to keep poor countries targets which cannot defend themselves. When you take away these laws nuclear power becomes quite cheap. You open up many new types of reactors which are much more efficient. The amount of radioactive waste drops to less than 1% of the current requirements. Reactors can be built in a much safer manner, ect., ect...
I agree with you. The big bang theory is nothing more than a religious myth that was thrust into science by a preacher or a priest (can't remember which one he was). I am assuming your "monoblock" is referring to the singularity?
There will not only be denial. There will be a well organized cover up at the highest levels of both corporations and government. Think the Ood situation with monkeys or dogs. However, we will not have to worry about this with cats, they will readily tell us to fuck off as soon as they know how.
You lying sack of shit! Unless your boat is currently running on ultra-quiet you are lucky as hell if you get 5 of that 12 off!
You are failing to account for:
* Drills, which can last up to 12 hours a day(and fuck you if that happens to cover the entire time you have to sleep for an entire week)
* Division training which somehow always falls during your allotted 6 hour sleep time
* Maintenance, which is what usually occupies the first 6 of that 12 hours
* More god damn drills
* Department training
* All hands training
* Field Day(translation to normal english: extended period of cleaning lasting at least two hours) If you are lucky this only happens once per week
* Broken equipment. Oh, I'm sorry you have only gotten 6 hours of sleep in the past 3 days, but something blew on the motor generator and all of electrical division must help to fix it.

But seriously, I have gone to sea on Monday and returned on Friday with less than 5 hours of sleep on multiple occasions. Then there was that two month period in the shipyard which I would rather not go into detail about, besides nobody would believe it.
I would feel much safer in Hell's Kitchen at 1:00AM than in a tour of Congress.
Most of the criminals in the ghetto are criminals out of desperation, in Congress they are evil at their very core.
The problem is that it receives next to no scrutiny at all. Even worse, any time anyone suggests that it may be flawed they are immediately attacked in the scientific circles. There will be articles condemning this one or "debunking" it within days.
Also yes, I will always doubt the findings of a religious scientist if their discovery seems to mirror their religion like the theory of the big bang does.
There is also another possible source of the CBGR. Large electrical discharges give off the same radiation claimed to be the CBGR. You should look into the Electric Universe, it makes way more sense than our current model and actually has lab tests to support many of its claims. Some of their ideas are a bit out there, but most of them are not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
I fully agree. The vast majority of scientific studies having to deal with nutrition and diet recommendations is industry funded with predetermined outcomes. The cholesterol and fat scare which went on for decades is a prime example. A corporation of corn farms had just figured out a way to make vegetable oil into a butter-like substance which we now call margarine. Since people did not trust this new garbage which had been put on the market the sales were basically non-existent. In order to convince people to buy their product they commissioned a study on cholesterol and heart problems. The study itself found no correlation between cholesterol level and heart failure, but the summary spoke of nothing else. It also set a limit on how high your cholesterol should be and claimed that blood cholesterol was directly related to consuming food with cholesterol and fat in it, which is also now known to be complete bullshit.
You may be on to something there. I wonder if anyone has tried this, because it may work. Even better, along with this we could push the more artistic side of making programs by teaching some graphics and how to use existing graphics tools like Blender and Gimp.

If you think that religion is a good basis for doing the right thing you seriously need removed from the gene pool.

I would trust the scientist far more on morality than a priest or a preacher.
I propose bear stew.
If the cops thought that everyone was likely to have a gun police violence would practically disappear overnight.

It happened about 2000 years ago when Christianity was born. When women became property.
I find it very interesting how everyone looks at this as a bad thing.
Why are people so concerned with continuing the species at all costs?
Holy shit, I've bought cars for less than that!
Only if this death penalty includes all persons with enough/the right shares to be able to vote on company policy.

It's like looking at a whole different comic when you look at the earlier artwork.
Another possibility for redshift has already been found: http://vixra.org/pdf/1105.0010...

Which is why it should receive a lot more scrutiny than it does.
By their own definition our military is in direct support of terrorism along with our government for arming and training the terrorists.
They already took care of that threat. That is why we have been invading the middle east.
You have forgotten about how they use the fine as a tax write-off, thereby losing nothing.
