It may be true that there are some interesting products coming out of the closed source market and that open source software library has a lot of older practices applied but considering the rate of open source advancement vs. closed source advancement, open source gave closed source a ten year handicap and that was in part caused by Bill Gates yelling Piracy.
The argument that one way is right and the other wrong, is misguided. Its not about right or wrong but making things better and more right.
Open source is a step up from closed source in many ways and the only thing supporting closed source continuation is that of economic system that provide a mechanism of reward for closed source practices.
But these both are just stepping stones in an industry the is still yet young.
What the next step? We have actually been thru that cycle before when we converted over to better mathematical systems to eventually have the hindu arabic decimal system we have today, that does NOT require mathematician status to use.
The next step in computer programming is to go beyond the open/closed source babel by following through with the core purpose of programming, that of automating some level of complexity to provide the users of that complexity with a simplified interface that they may use and incorporated the complexity into their programing. And being a recursive act, this of course leads to Auto-coding.
At some point we will reach auto-coding simplicity of such a degree that programming will be as easy to use as a calculator capable of processing abstraction beyond the but including the math based abstractions we use today. And this is the degree of ease that you can see for your self by testing how well you can do math by hand in comparison to using a calculator. A lot of people can not do by hand, math they do with a calculator.
.... getting a focus and keeping it on core knowledge.
Core knowledge is that when is honest and open and can be considered the foundation or core of all other knowledge that can be extracted and/or extrapolated from it.
Such example are the primary colors of light and paint. With them you can create all the colors of the rainbow, but as soon as you lose touch with these and put some colors that are not primary as the starting point of creation, you will discover increasing limitations in what you can color.
The computer industry has long lost touch with the core knowledge of computing and as such has lost the ability to innovate as well as it could, Such sore knowledge may not seem very exciting or important anymore than how exciting we find the primary colors to be as themselves, but it is what they enable the building of that is of importance.
Computers, from their fundamental transistor switching to the high level of abstraction we use to program them today, does contain core knowledge, inherently, but its human focus and recognition and intentional use of the core knowledge that enables innovation.
Abstraction Physics presents such core knowledge and system user interface needs.
Media tactic, competitive tactics, licensing manipulation tactics, etc..
As both projects are open source, as are many others, they all can use the best of any of these. But in open source it all really comes down to a sum of humanities produced value. Selecting "ubuntu" as a lable for a linux distribution is in recognition of this. And of course it doesn't make Ubuntu the best by just naming it this way, but it does point out a recognition of what makes things "best".
There are so many tactic that work outside of open source, but open source is doesn't fix in supporting those tactics. However, because of this non-fit, you can always identify an outsiders attempt to apply such tactics.
The different distributions of linux, the value is no so much in competition of the same general user system but in specialization. Its good we have an overall target of improving desktop and server systems, but the time has come when this flushes out that such system are similiar enough that there is little difference if any thing more than a distro name.
When the magazine industry first started there was a target of general interest publication and at some point when this was filled competition lead to the beginnings of specialization. Today we have magazines that specialize in more things that only a few are aware of them all. The same is beginning to happen with open source OS packages. Multimedia distros like dynebolic, artistx, studio64 etc.. and there are others. What the specialization provides is better integration of specialized packages, kernel tuning, etc...
Specialization is where open source competition is and also where there are fewer competing, if more than one.
Why run application off the internet or even store data online unless its directly an online internet all accessible use thing like in web pages, blogs, message boards, etc.? Its not like any company today can't have their own inhouse server for inhouse control and security and online limited access.
With todays desktop system power and terabyte drives isn't it more likely that what's online now can become offline accessible. In other words, its more likely that we move data from online to offline than vise versa. I've recently put together a localhost LAMP/desktop system just because I found wordpress on firefox to be versatile and simple enough for my aging mother to write her autobiography on while dealing with some eye sight problems (ctrl-+/- zooms) with easy pictures addin. And just because its on a system not connected to the internet the export/import function of wordpress allows the data to be put online should she so chose (she could send me a cd for me to import to a family site I set up - but by her choice, not due some leaky internet). So even internet applications can be moved to the internet disconnected desktop, where there is security and performance in not being connected,.
Certainly any businesss applications no more needs the additional possible failures and security breaches of internet connection, ISP problems and weakest link connection than does home applications with slower or no internet connections.
Sorry Google, but really, your search engine suffers more and more from ad based listings rather than what I'm looking for (i.e. looking for specification information on an old Dell Latitude xp 450c laptop results in endless finding for batteries, power adaptors, etc sellers.... and virtually no links I could find of any use to me.... I can only wonder who all these sellers are selling to.)
Wikipedia should not hold proofs but only allow offsite links to the proofs.
wikipedia is a hearsay site, requiring references to what is posted. By doing this wikipedia avoids being held responsible for its contents as it does not have the resources or the lawyers, and never will, to properly research subject matter or to keep it verified.
By referencing offsite information, it is up to the offsite location to maintain the verified information. For proofs this is a plus because an offsite link can prevent editing of the proof, where wikipedia is intended to be open to edit.
Constantly and growing is wikipedia being used for propaganda, as yet another article on slashdot mentions. Propaganda, I'm sure, was never the intent of wikipedia, but people will do what they do.
... you are shopping in a grocery store and as you go down the aisle you pass by another and after you pass you hear them say something. You turn to ask them what it was they said to you and see their hands are either free or have some package from the shelf in them. They glance at you and continue on. You did not notice the blinking blue light near their ear.
You are standing in line to buy something and another comes up behind you in line and starts talking, you turn around an see they are on a cell phone. This doesn't stop them from standing behind you a foot away and talking really loud directed at the back you your head. All you hear is half a conversation. You mention it to them how annoying it is and they respond by saying they are not bothered by this act of theirs.
You are in city traffic the car in front of you misses a green light but you have a meeting to be at. At the next light you are cut off and again miss the light, getting out of teh city you seem to be constantly stuck behind a car driving 10-15miles an hour slower than the speed limit while traffic in the lanes next to you is speeding by faster than you are able to change lanes. and during all of this you notice in every case the person causing teh traffic interference is on a cell phone.
Now imagine walking down the city sidewalk and the person in front of you suddenly stops and you walk into them. Imagine walking down the sidewalk and you hear what sounds like someone talking to you and you turn to answer them and someone else walks into you. Imagine commercials where there are sirens, like the telephone or door bell commercials that fool you into answering the door or phone. Imagine having your car top down in the city and hearing such sounds.
Are there any other ways to cause stress in our every day lives?
That is the restroom end regarding health issues and how to improve restroom conditions to promote better care by the patrons.
Being hungry has more influence than anything they can inject into the environment. Same goes for the restroom, but both environments can influence how patrons make use of the....
get information from consumers, claim rights to it and sell it back to them....seems to be what this article is promoting while using MS as a media to say it.
What happens when programming is done right and consumers can use an easier to use interface to create programs with, for themselves?
Trillions of dollars are transfered via electronic means, perhaps even more than that if you define a time line.
The only difference here is the anonymity of the voter, who they voted for. Where security dealing with verifying a qualified voter before they vote and that they only vote once, should be no more an issue as when it was when it was all paper.
The fact that this electronic voting problem exist at all, but also full scope across all machines tested really does identify just how manipulative corrupt the political system really is.
that this isp is not very concerned with privacy of its clients.
Say you have a friend over or someone you don't know using your open wireless, now all of the sudden there is this message they see giving them information about you. I honestly cannot believe they haven't considered this possibility. If they haven I highly recommend that if you are a customer you need to change isps right away.
This also should show that ISPs can indeed spy on you and your web surfing and sell that information about you or leak it out or have it stolen, etc...
I found out that bellsouth/at&t can even see my passwords that should by default have been encrypted to where they cannot see it.
at any rate, all of this rises the question of how much traffic would you really get if all this ability to manipulate, censor, inject, extract, etc... your web site data?
Like I said, I didn't read the article before I made the original post. now that I have and see it was 3 points scored for redundant, it only shows how smart I am.
The article is a lot shorter than what all I know that contributes to changing genetically.
I don't have sheep skins like he does...... I don't need them to know.
Only I've known this for years. From Julian Jaynes "Origin of Consciousness through the break down of the bi-cameral mind" There are reported instances of this need to adapt from the tower of babel to the spread of the world wide internet where we all now know had bad the war time propaganda was, peopl of russia are just like us and only a small fraction of 1% of the worlds population promotes war.
Sure population growth changes a lot of things, bringing on everything from the need to work together for the benefits it brings in greater survival, to being forced to solve social issues that did not exits earlier.
Redundant?
I didn't read the article but also know we are all like a computer, fully capable of being programmed at the gene level too.
There should be a difference between freedom of speech and dishonesty speaking.
Do you know how stupid it sounds that one random person speaks up against their government and then is executed for organ harvesting for someone important? Whats the odds of a genetic enough match?
China worked with americans to get starving people out of north korea. Why? Because Americans don't look korean enough to do it themselves.
Tienanmen square. What was worse than that? What happened in Mexico the year the Olympics was there. It was suppressed, more students were killed, but that would be bad press for such an event.
Freedom of speech, which part? The true part? the true part that supports an illusion? The dishonest part? How about fully integrated honesty.
If you are going to support patriotism, as your web page link points to, perhaps you should really support trade sanctions against China, if you so really believe what you do.
When was the last time you read the declaration of independence? Maybe its time you read it again! You know, to understand the honest meaning of patriotism.
"Freedom of speech" is not freedom of speech if its conditional. And its still illegal to commit libel and wrong to lie.
To support genuine freedom of speech is to support anonymous remailers where such genuine information can be communicated with safety. But such systems are then attacked by those who abuse such systems with spam, libel and other dishonest intents.
Everyone wants to limit spam, including China.
So who is really to blame for suppression here?
Those who are not honest and won't shut up with their dishonesty but often pursue massive amounts of publishing it?
So how honest is this opinion piece article?
Freedom does not mean you get to impose upon the freedoms of others. And this means freedom does not include wasting peoples time and shared resources with babeling spam, libel, etc...
What is it that I support? Honesty, fully integrated honesty. Do I think Dishonesty should be suppressed? Only with and identifying stamp "Dishonesty" placed on it.
Someone started an article on me. It was wrong but stayed for over a year I think.
I found it and added some references to information that others might see past the usenet troll and flamer bias that was indirectly referenced in the article. I then started up another article to further clarify the subject matter for which the bias in the article on myself was centered around.
It went up for deletion and realizing the negativity bias of Wikipedia I called upon the usenet trolls and flamers against me to contribute to the discussion with the bias of removing both articles. Both articles were deleted. I'd decided I'd rather not be mentioned, nor do I need such unfairly biased publicity by being listed in Wikipedia.
I recently discovered even more unfair bias towards someone who is no longer alive to defend themselves. The article contains half truths and outright lies. This persons certainly has more public status than I, but I will not mention who they are but rather collect up references not found on the internet that expose the unfair bias of wikipedia and share it with real people in real time, so that they can see how cleverly corrupt wikipedia really is.
Wikipedia is built upon hearsay, upon what they call as "references". That's its rules and done so in order to remove RESPONSIBILITY. Put the blame on the reference, and we all know how much crap is on the internet. This is where the references must be found and be kinda be accessible, as wikipedia does not verify all references regularly and many become broken. They pick and chose which things they reference off the internet and tend to bias on the negative by the weakness of facts the nature of the machine the internet is and likewise wikipedia is.
So they find the opinions of others written somewhere on the internet and they have their references. Hearsay is not allowed in court, facts are.
Wikipedia is not based on facts, its based on hearsay and THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PROPER RESOURCES TO DO UNBIASED RESEARCH and they never will.
I expect Wikipedia to be very capable of writing the next bible.
Wikipedia needs a "in your face" disclaimer on every article and every page.
flat dry lake bed. you can see its really flat, except for these rocks that slide over the flat.
If the lake bed is dry and flat then where did these rocks come from? Did they float up out of the flat dry lake bed?
Or did they come from one of the surrounding hills. Like down the hill with momentum onto the lake bed and triggered off by triggered by rain creating something like a mud slide for rocks?
Why would it have to happen "for" Moses? Perhaps Moses just took advantage of a natural happening.
There is history before before this, back to king Nebuchadnezzar having dreams needing to be interpreted, as to how this whole matter came to exist and eventually nature provided some tools and reasons. The Jews were welcomed into the land and given the better land to live on and probably what help save them from the first born plague.
Its not at all like it happened "for" Moses. If there had not been volcanic activity then things would have been different, very possibly there would not have been a desire for the exodus. You see the Jews made bricks for the Egyptian lead construction. They made the bricks from grass. The Egyptians were collecting up the grass for the Jews (team work) to make the bricks but then this stopped and the Jews were told to collect up the grass themselves while still making as many bricks. However what do you suppose was happening to the availability of grass as a result of the volcanic activity?
Taking advantage of the parting of the sea was a hindsight act on Moses part, as he had passed that location leading people, only to back track when he came to realize the timing of the steam -- like old faithful in yellowstone park.
The natural events did not happen for Moses, rather the Exodus happened as a result of the natural events.
I wonder what ever happened about the Egyptian lawsuit against the Jews for the theft that they claimed happened by the Jews during the Exodus.
Walking on water - Jesus was a carpenter and of that time the general carpentry employment was of boat building. I believe the authorities agree about this. As a boat builder you learn to understand the relationship between water and wood. and you work in the environment of the combination. It doesn't take long for one to learn about surf and wood and surfing. Now if you take a large enough plank of wood that floats fairly even with the water surface and stand at one end you wil begin to sink as the wood shifts against the resistance of the water. But if you keep moving across the plank you will not sink as your weight is being shifted so is the resistance point of teh wood against the water.
With this you should be able to figure the rest of the story out. You can even try it out for yourself if you are that interested in finding out.
Now people of that time did not have the technology of eye glasses for improved vision and people of that time may have had some degree of better eye sight then people of today but like today there is a spectrum between blind and better than 20/20 vision. So someone at the shore witnessing this "walking on water" and writing a story he wanter others to read.... maybe needed glasses to better see the wood plank under the surface of the water and at a distance.
Do you really believe everything you hear on tv news or read in the paper?
Water to Wine - its really quite simple, the empty wine container was probably the same container that the wine was made in and probably made of wood too. As such there is residue left soaked into the wood and collected inside. Put some water into teh container and shake it up to break up and dilute and there you have water to wine. However there is more, It was a wedding this was done at and a wedding is typically the kind of event you do not need to get drunk to enjoy and be in heightened good spirits. Drink did not need to contain alcohol! Its also likely that Jesus learned this trick from his early years carpenter co-workers during after work gatherings.
The exodus is perhaps the most wonderous event of all to explain. From Moses brother the sales person that could sell ice to Eskimos, until the buyer had a good night sleep, to the river of red clay blood and the sequence of natural events all surrounding volcanic activity including the food of fish from the sky. Following a column of smoke by day and a light of fire by nite... Even the parting of the sea was a natural result of volcanic activity and the pressure of steam.
There is another story about an axe head lost into the river and then appearing to float. The story describes enough to know exactly what happened, though Jesus wasn't around on that one, It was called a miracle but really only the act of using a branch fork from a cut down tree to hook the axe head under water and with teh current cause it to ski to the surface.
The way these stories are told in the christian bible is distorted and you'll do better by reading variations of the stories including the version in the Jewish Torah.
Upon my explaining such so called miracles to a woman who was/is a devout christian she responded that she did not believe god would break his own rules of physics to create miracles, as that would be a double standard on man by god. Jesus was a teacher, that is clear. What was he teaching?
Father physics and mother nature...? This is not to say there are not energy forces we have yet to recognize. We don't really understand gravity but have workable theories...
the Creationism vs. Evolution is fabricated arguement made by trying to split something that is symbiotic. This same "create a problem that does not exist" technique has been applied elsewhere as well. Such as teh right to life vs. freedom of choice. If you really want to know the truth, ask a starving child if they have either.
Actually he just gave the hungry people a way to eat and share the food they had brought with them, but hidden, and without exposure of what they had with them to those around them.
Or do people really believe the people of that time were so foolish to follow someone teaching a better way of life than the dog eat dog world they were living in, without taking food with them and protecting it?
As to the cell design issue, we do have the knowledge and ability to genetically design and create life today. Its only a matter of time before we come to understand gravity enough to create a universe and work it to generate another life cycle that will then repeat the process.
Why? The fundamental, more fundamental than sex or pro-creation efforts, but that of survival.
If you are all that exist, the only way to know you are alive, not dying, is to grow. So the big picture plan is to expand what all exist in existence and by way of creating consciousness and all that can exist in consciousness that allows further expansion of what exist in existence.
And you don't need religion to know this, but only your own built in survival instinct and self consciousness enough to learn how to create things far beyond what other animals are capable of.
So you think genetic scientist need someone like Bush to tell them no before they find...
Do you really think genetic scientist are so stupid to not have found such out anyways?\
you talk about facts but don't really present any.
All that I have present can be verified by anyone who wants to look for the information.
Do I care what you think? What difference does it make, your certainly not any sort of anomoly, but rather typical of misguided americans, excluding such americans as myself, the dixie chicks, and plenty more who have protested against such blunderings due a lack of openness.

...Abstractions.
And that Sage is not enough capable of handling above the subset it is intended for, to prove software is mathematical algorithms, as so many argue.
However, that doesn't mean algorithmic proof is not possible. Only that abstraction must be considered in the calculation proofs.
.... calculate the slashdot effect.
... there are those who keep saying programs are mathematical algorithms, as argument against software patents.
So it only makes perfect sense that a mathematical program capable of so much would be done as open source.
Perhaps it will get powerful enough to prove all programs are mathematical algorithms, by being capable of generating program code.
Every equation has at least two sides. Its now just a matter of figuring out the mathematical equations needed to produce any program code.
To be clear, I do not condone software patents. But if such a belief is true that "programs are mathematical algorithms" it should be provable.
And what mathematical software would likely be used to produce such proof? Sage?
There should be a difference between freedom of speech and dishonesty speaking.
Do you know how stupid it sounds that one random person speaks up against their government and then is executed for organ harvesting for someone important?

Why was there not one but two attacks on the world trade center many years apart?
follow the money http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/transcripts/2704stockmarket.html and know the CIA has identified indonesia as 88% muslim.
Freedom of speech, which part? The true part? the true part that supports an illusion? The dishonest part?
How about fully integrated honesty.
If you are going to support patriotism, as your web page link points to, perhaps you should really support trade sanctions against China, if you so really believe what you do.
When was the last time you read the declaration of independence? Maybe its time you read it again! You know, to understand the honest meaning of patriotism.
"Freedom of speech" is not freedom of speech if its conditional. And its still illegal to commit libel and wrong to lie.
To support genuine freedom of speech is to support anonymous remailers where such genuine information can be communicated with safety.
But such systems are then attacked by those who abuse such systems with spam, libel and other dishonest intents.
Everyone wants to limit spam, including China.
So who is really to blame for suppression here?
Those who are not honest and won't shut up with their dishonesty but often pursue massive amounts of publishing it?
So how honest is this opinion piece article?
Freedom does not mean you get to impose upon the freedoms of others. And this means freedom does not include wasting peoples time and shared resources with babeling spam, libel, etc...
What is it that I support? Honesty, fully integrated honesty.
Do I think Dishonesty should be suppressed? Only with and identifying stamp "Dishonesty" placed on it.
Easier said than done.... and thats Honest.
Someone started an article on me. It was wrong but stayed for over a year I think.
I found it and added some references to information that others might see past the usenet troll and flamer bias that was indirectly referenced in the article.
I then started up another article to further clarify the subject matter for which the bias in the article on myself was centered around.
It went up for deletion and realizing the negativity bias of Wikipedia I called upon the usenet trolls and flamers against me to contribute to the discussion with the bias of removing both articles.
Both articles were deleted. I'd decided I'd rather not be mentioned, nor do I need such unfairly biased publicity by being listed in Wikipedia.
I recently discovered even more unfair bias towards someone who is no longer alive to defend themselves. The article contains half truths and outright lies.
This persons certainly has more public status than I, but I will not mention who they are but rather collect up references not found on the internet that expose the unfair bias of wikipedia and share it with real people in real time, so that they can see how cleverly corrupt wikipedia really is.
Wikipedia is built upon hearsay, upon what they call as "references". That's its rules and done so in order to remove RESPONSIBILITY. Put the blame on the reference,
and we all know how much crap is on the internet. This is where the references must be found and be kinda be accessible, as wikipedia does not verify all references regularly and many become broken.
They pick and chose which things they reference off the internet and tend to bias on the negative by the weakness of facts the nature of the machine the internet is and likewise wikipedia is.
So they find the opinions of others written somewhere on the internet and they have their references. Hearsay is not allowed in court, facts are.
Wikipedia is not based on facts, its based on hearsay and THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PROPER RESOURCES TO DO UNBIASED RESEARCH and they never will.
I expect Wikipedia to be very capable of writing the next bible.
Wikipedia needs a "in your face" disclaimer on every article and every page.
flat dry lake bed. you can see its really flat, except for these rocks that slide over the flat.
If the lake bed is dry and flat then where did these rocks come from? Did they float up out of the flat dry lake bed?
Or did they come from one of the surrounding hills. Like down the hill with momentum onto the lake bed and triggered off by triggered by rain creating something like a mud slide for rocks?
Why would it have to happen "for" Moses?
Perhaps Moses just took advantage of a natural happening.
There is history before before this, back to king Nebuchadnezzar having dreams needing to be interpreted, as to how this whole matter came to exist and eventually nature provided some tools and reasons. The Jews were welcomed into the land and given the better land to live on and probably what help save them from the first born plague.
Its not at all like it happened "for" Moses. If there had not been volcanic activity then things would have been different, very possibly there would not have been a desire for the exodus. You see the Jews made bricks for the Egyptian lead construction. They made the bricks from grass. The Egyptians were collecting up the grass for the Jews (team work) to make the bricks but then this stopped and the Jews were told to collect up the grass themselves while still making as many bricks. However what do you suppose was happening to the availability of grass as a result of the volcanic activity?
Taking advantage of the parting of the sea was a hindsight act on Moses part, as he had passed that location leading people, only to back track when he came to realize the timing of the steam -- like old faithful in yellowstone park.
The natural events did not happen for Moses, rather the Exodus happened as a result of the natural events.
I wonder what ever happened about the Egyptian lawsuit against the Jews for the theft that they claimed happened by the Jews during the Exodus.
"Who cares what "really happened"?"
.... maybe needed glasses to better see the wood plank under the surface of the water and at a distance.
not you?
Here is more explanations for you:
Walking on water - Jesus was a carpenter and of that time the general carpentry employment was of boat building. I believe the authorities agree about this.
As a boat builder you learn to understand the relationship between water and wood. and you work in the environment of the combination.
It doesn't take long for one to learn about surf and wood and surfing. Now if you take a large enough plank of wood that floats fairly even with the water surface and stand at one end you wil begin to sink as the wood shifts against the resistance of the water. But if you keep moving across the plank you will not sink as your weight is being shifted so is the resistance point of teh wood against the water.
With this you should be able to figure the rest of the story out. You can even try it out for yourself if you are that interested in finding out.
Now people of that time did not have the technology of eye glasses for improved vision and people of that time may have had some degree of better eye sight then people of today but like today there is a spectrum between blind and better than 20/20 vision. So someone at the shore witnessing this "walking on water" and writing a story he wanter others to read
Do you really believe everything you hear on tv news or read in the paper?
Water to Wine - its really quite simple, the empty wine container was probably the same container that the wine was made in and probably made of wood too. As such there is residue left soaked into the wood and collected inside. Put some water into teh container and shake it up to break up and dilute and there you have water to wine. However there is more, It was a wedding this was done at and a wedding is typically the kind of event you do not need to get drunk to enjoy and be in heightened good spirits. Drink did not need to contain alcohol! Its also likely that Jesus learned this trick from his early years carpenter co-workers during after work gatherings.
The exodus is perhaps the most wonderous event of all to explain. From Moses brother the sales person that could sell ice to Eskimos, until the buyer had a good night sleep, to the river of red clay blood and the sequence of natural events all surrounding volcanic activity including the food of fish from the sky. Following a column of smoke by day and a light of fire by nite... Even the parting of the sea was a natural result of volcanic activity and the pressure of steam.
There is another story about an axe head lost into the river and then appearing to float. The story describes enough to know exactly what happened, though Jesus wasn't around on that one, It was called a miracle but really only the act of using a branch fork from a cut down tree to hook the axe head under water and with teh current cause it to ski to the surface.
The way these stories are told in the christian bible is distorted and you'll do better by reading variations of the stories including the version in the Jewish Torah.
Upon my explaining such so called miracles to a woman who was/is a devout christian she responded that she did not believe god would break his own rules of physics to create miracles, as that would be a double standard on man by god. Jesus was a teacher, that is clear. What was he teaching?
Father physics and mother nature...? This is not to say there are not energy forces we have yet to recognize. We don't really understand gravity but have workable theories...
the Creationism vs. Evolution is fabricated arguement made by trying to split something that is symbiotic. This same "create a problem that does not exist" technique has been applied elsewhere as well. Such as teh right to life vs. freedom of choice. If you really want to know the truth, ask a starving child if they have either.
... there were no more what if stories?
Actually he just gave the hungry people a way to eat and share the food they had brought with them, but hidden, and without exposure of what they had with them to those around them.
Or do people really believe the people of that time were so foolish to follow someone teaching a better way of life than the dog eat dog world they were living in, without taking food with them and protecting it?
As to the cell design issue, we do have the knowledge and ability to genetically design and create life today. Its only a matter of time before we come to understand gravity enough to create a universe and work it to generate another life cycle that will then repeat the process.
Why? The fundamental, more fundamental than sex or pro-creation efforts, but that of survival.
If you are all that exist, the only way to know you are alive, not dying, is to grow. So the big picture plan is to expand what all exist in existence and by way of creating consciousness and all that can exist in consciousness that allows further expansion of what exist in existence.
And you don't need religion to know this, but only your own built in survival instinct and self consciousness enough to learn how to create things far beyond what other animals are capable of.
So you think genetic scientist need someone like Bush to tell them no before they find...
Do you really think genetic scientist are so stupid to not have found such out anyways?\
you talk about facts but don't really present any.
All that I have present can be verified by anyone who wants to look for the information.
Do I care what you think? What difference does it make, your certainly not any sort of anomoly, but rather typical of misguided americans, excluding such americans as myself, the dixie chicks, and plenty more who have protested against such blunderings due a lack of openness.
