But in the quote I gave Luther is making an argument against the Copernican model based entirely on scripture. So this is absolutely an example of biblical-inerrancy induced idiocy. The Bible is an abysmal source when trying to figure out how nature works, and anyone who uses it as such is being foolish.
Catholicism rejects biblical literalism. That church's idiocy at the time of Galileo was born of making the religion a dominating political power and an addiction to ponderous doctrine that was linked to the outdated teachings of Aristotle.
Ironic, as for years the Galileo affair was a classic incident that Protestants held as demonstrating the abusive and backward position of the Catholic church.
"People gave ear to an upstart astrologer who strove to show that the earth revolves, not the heavens or the firmament, the sun and the moon. Whoever wishes to appear clever must devise some new system, which of all systems is of course the very best. This fool wishes to reverse the entire science of astronomy; but sacred Scripture tells us that Joshua commanded the sun to stand still, and not the earth."
-Martin Luther
The Protestants were no better. They just didn't happen to have the political power to enforce their biblical-inerrancy induced idiocy at the time.
Oh OK. For a minute I thought that the dying off of cultures and civilizations was the result of supernatural causes, and thus could be thought of as immoral.
Wait a minute. What the fuck are you trying to say?
Even though there are times when a woman may want a man to approach her but he does not on some particular occasion, it is more than likely that some other night another man she wants to approach her actually will. Sorry, but I don't see this as much of a hardship.
Women go through all sorts of uncertainty, pressure, competition, stress, heartbreak, and rejection as well. If you don't know that, you either need to get to know some women who trust you enough to talk about those sorts of issues with you, or (more likely for the average/.er) read what they post on social networking sites.
I'm certain that women go through those same emotions. But when it comes to obtaining a new romantic relationship (including sex) they don't have nearly as difficult a time as men do seeing as how they tend to be the approached in this situation and not the approacher. (And for a guy who lacks confidence this process is sheer anguish and disappointment experienced over and over and over and over and over again). Women mostly experience the uncertainty, pressure and such when trying to turn a romantic relationship into a committed one which results in marriage.
I agree that sex is probably the greatest joy that life has to offer. The things one has to go through to get it - what with the constant uncertainty, pressure, competition, stress, heart-break and rejection - is some of the greatest hell life has to offer as well. Unless you happen to be a woman or a confident guy, that is.
From our own history the native populations were responsible for wiping out nearly every large land animal in prehistoric times including driving the Nenaderthals into extinction. The only reason the Indians had any horses to ride in North America was because the Spanish reintroduced them.
The reason large animals were quickly wiped out by man in these areas is that when humans came the animals had not had time to evolve a healthy fear of our ancestors. See here.
Errrr... the line you quote from the page does nothing to cast doubt on the accepted mass-having, non-light speed-traveling nature of the neutrino. I remember reading that they discovered neutrinos had mass years ago, and I haven't heard from any scientific publication claiming otherwise since.
In the sense that nothing can be proven in science, yes, the case is not closed. But in the usual usage of the phrase the case is closed, nailed shut and buried six feet under the ground.
Anything that moves at the speed of light does not experience a passage of time and has no "internal clock" to speak of.
This is how people figured out that neutrinos had a rest mass when at first the Standard Model assumed that they didn't. It was discovered that neutrinos could oscillate between different lepton flavors. But for that to happen they would have to experience the passage of time. And since particles without a rest mass always travel at the speed of light, they had to have mass.
You must be pretty young if you don't remember what a pieces of shit those private industry services were compared to the Internet. It was such of joy to see those fuckers put out of their misery by a much more foresighted vision than what the fee market is capable of.
Actually the term "towel-head" would most accurately refer to the Sikhs and they do not hate our guts AFAIK. And anyone hating our guts should not be a concern anyhow unless it leads to violent action.
I do understand this. The reason I replied is that you said "The probability of losing both rounds is now 0.26" after mentioning losing the first. So I thought that you were implying that the outcome of the first result affects the probability of the second, which (of course) isn't the case. The probability of losing two rounds in a row is always 0.26. The probability of losing any one round is always 0.51. Sorry if I misunderstood what you were saying. Thanks for not being a dick about it or anything...
In a game like roulette, if you place a bet on red, for example, then there are 18 winning positions and 19 losing ones, so your probability of losing in the first round is just over 0.51. Bet $1 and if you lose, you double your bet. The probability of losing both rounds is now 0.26. If you lose, double again, but the probability of losing 3 times in a row is only 0.14. After ten rounds, the probability is down to 0.0013, but the stake will be $512, so if you lose your total loss will be $1023, but if you win then your total winnings will be $1.
Errrr, no. In the first round your probability to lose is 0.51. If you happen to lose that, in the next round the probability for losing is 0.51. If you happen to lose the next one, same situation. If you were unlucky enough to lose one million times in a row, your probability for losing the next round still stands at 0.51.
As far as probability is concerned, there is no such thing as a memory.
I'm guessing you had a sigmoidoscopy and not a colonoscopy? Because the colonoscopy is a more extensive procedure, right beforehand they inject you with The Most Amazing Drugs Known To Man. It's almost worth the prep work you have to go through beforehand.
Coccotti: Sicilians are great liars. The best in the world. I'm a Sicilian. And my old man was the world heavyweight champion of Sicilian liars. And from growin' up with him I learned the pantomime. Now there are seventeen different things a guy can do when he lies to give him away. A guy has seventeen pantomimes. A woman's got twenty, but a guy's got seventeen. And if you know 'em like ya know your own face, they beat lie detectors to hell. What we got here is a little game of show and tell. You don't wanna show me nothin'. But you're tellin' me everything. Now I know you know where they are. So tell me, before I do some damage you won't walk away from.
Cliff: Could I have one of those Chesterfields now?
Coccotti: Sure.
Cliff: Got a match? Oh, don't bother. I got one. So you're a Sicilian, huh?
Coccotti: Uh-huh.
Cliff: You know I read a lot. Especially things that have to do with history. I find that shit fascinating. In fact, I don't know if you know this or not, Sicilians were spawned by niggers.
Coccotti: Come again?
Cliff: It's a fact. Sicilians have nigger blood pumpin' through their hearts. If you don't believe me, look it up. You see, hundreds and hundreds of years ago the Moors conquered Sicily. And Moors are niggers. Way back then, Sicilians were like the wops in northern Italy. Blond hair, blue eyes. But, once the Moors moved in there, they changed the whole country. They did so much fuckin' with the Sicilian women, they changed the blood-line for ever, from blond hair and blue eyes to black hair and dark skin. I find it absolutely amazing to think that to this day, hundreds of years later, Sicilians still carry that nigger gene. I'm just quotin' history. It's a fact. It's written. Your ancestors were niggers. Your great, great, great, great, great-grandmother was fucked by a nigger, and had a half-nigger kid. That is a fact. Now tell me, am I lyin'?

See here. It states in part that combining hydrocodone with other substances changes it from a Schedule II substance to a less restrictive Schedule III substance. The two example drugs they cite for this are Lortab and Vicodin - both containing acetaminophen.

Yowch! Judging by how my sigmoidoscopi felt without drugs I can only imagine how the colonoscopy sans chemical assistance must have felt.
Sorry dude.
