Oil/Gasoline, NG, and Coal are the only fossil fuels in existence. For reasons unbeknownst to me, the powers that be have largely focused on the use of Oil/Gasoline as fuel to be the primary cause of climate change. Not so. It is coal.
For those of you with a little time, and attention span, watch this.
Ahhh, there is nothing finer than a bong loaded with the favorite bud, and a (Winston)Churchill Martini as I watch the destruction of a planet. Maybe some popcorn as well.
Where's the recall notice? HP should be recalling these items. Failure to do so immediately is willful negligence. All their recall resources are probably still being used in the HP/Compaq laptop mainboard replacement fiasco. Just had mine done.
It's pretty simple. Anyone that joins the armed forces doesn't think. Nice diss to your fellow countrymen and women who are fighting and dying because they are doing what they think is right. Show a little respect for those who are braver than you. Asshole.
I have been to the VA lately. Quite a bit, actually. I get better health care, both physical and mental, than I ever could have received on the outside. My experience is perhaps a little different than what you hear in the news?
BTW, joining the military was one of the best decisions of my life.
"It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value."
"The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?"
"My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all."
"Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?"
"God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen."
"If we find the answer [the unified theory], it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason -- for we would know the mind of God."
The above quotes are from Stephen Hawking.
To an average joe like me, Hawking makes perfect sense. I sense that extremists from both sides of this debate find some of these statements blasphemous.
It's a fact that the earth is generally spherical in shape. We can measure it. The Theory of Evolution is still a theory because, by definition, it has yet to be proven by any method.
I wonder, how many of your professors have presented theories as fact?
That, to me, is a scary thought. If all scientists believed theory to be fact, which would be dogmatic, there would be no more need at attempts in disproving theory. I believe that would make the scientific establishment's principles akin to the Catholic Church.
I don't know much about the ID "movement". My belief system is my business; unlike many who subscribe to ID, or the ToE for that matter, I don't push it on anyone.
A theory is just a theory. To push it as fact is to play the same game as those religious folks with an agenda who push their beliefs as fact.
BTW, I don't believe science and religion are mutually exclusive. No, I am not a Scientologist.
I read most of the posts in this thread. I counted only two instances of posters referring to evolution as a theory. It appears as if most of you, dare I say, regard the Theory of Evolution as the word of...God.

Yes, definitely Clowns. Clowns really creep me out. I wish they would leave me alone and go away.

Give 'em enough of it and they will end up hanging themselves. I think they are their own worst enemy. They don't bother me.

When people tout theory as fact, yes, they are dogmatic in the same way as evangelicals.

Still a theory. Subject to change. Shit, Einstein would have told you that.
Oh my, I really, really, REALLY hope you are being facetious.

It's that rebellious attitude that is keeping you down. Work on it. You might try taking a shower, as well.
Yes, but are you aware of your Fashion Feng Shui?
1. Confiscate all firearms with all people/groups not in agreement with you.
2. Confiscate or disable all cell phones with those people/groups not in agreement with you.
3. When no one complies with demands 1 and 2, throw a tantrum while hiding in a hole in the ground and shitting next to your bedroll.
Dak-Ho, would you suit up and go check that out, please?
