71 And then the Romans laid hands on Jesus to lead him away. 72 But Peter said unto them, "This is not the Jew you are looking for." 73 And then the centurion said unto them, "This is not the Jew we are looking for."
Just a thought, but is it any less likely that the world was created in 6 days than an entire universe being created in just a few minutes (adding on a little bit of time for significant expansion)?
"likely" hasn't got anything to do with it. The proper question is, what do the facts support.
My personal epiphany was the observation that religion and place of birth are highly correlated.
Yeah, the social nature of religion is glaringly obvious.
For some reason the whole world hasn't abandoned all the false religions for the one true religion, whichever one that is.
It takes incredible arrogance - or incredible lack of thought - to believe that you just happened to be born where the right gods were worshipped the right way.
hilter and the nazi germany is the 'legitimate,legal whatever you wanna call" of the western culture and their hardcore philosophies of modern and post-modern ages ! stop lying to yourselves ! the only difference between hitler and chrchil or bush junior for example is that hilter did it "here to us not there to the "others" " !!
I'm sorry, but as I remember it, both the French and the Russians died in larger numbers than the British, and neither country's troops were under his command.

religion has nothing to do with analytical thinking
You got that much right.

If you're right, perhaps you could persuade the people who disagree with you by talking to them and using reason.
I'm having a little trouble coming up with any anecdotes that support that notion.

It doe's not.
At least we can all join hands and agree that the proper plural for nazi is nazii.
Ridicule and parody are really the most powerful weapons we have against tyranny, hatred, violence, and terror.
So just publish it under its original title, Wehn Kopf.

The mere fact that a book written by someone nearly 70 years ago is still under copyright is ridiculous
Count on Slashdot to turn a story about naziism into an anti-copyright rant.
The B.O.L.D. program hinges on detecting oxygen exchange
What if the life form on Mars uses N2 instead?
Nitrogen is a bit on the inert side to be useful as life's energy source.
Looks more like an all-caps plan to me.
you can't godwin a story that godwin's itself. nice try
People always talk about "grammar nazis"... are there "godwin nazis" too?
Afaik there's an exception for legitimate nazi comparisons and discussions involving the actual thing.
But how often does someone need to say that NAZIs are like NAZIs?
If a German politician wants to end a discussion quickly he will just mention that the Nazis did it that way.
That works on the internet, too.
Silly execs. They should have unloaded it on eBay.
genetic engineering leads to the monster of the week or the some thing in a syfy channel B moive.
That would actually be a pretty sophisticated plot, by SyFy standards.

Wow, you're really old.
It's a position based on the belief that the soul joins with the body at conception.
That's why identical twins share a single soul between them, and chimeras have more than one soul.
Time travel won't happen. If it could, where are all the time travellers?
How do you know you're not the only person in this era who *isn't* a time traveller?
And this is the kind of reason why IBM sold of the POS division that was doomed to irrelevancy and thin profit margins.
It may have been doomed to irrelevancy and thin profit margins, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it a POS.
I don't get the part about testing the waters with women. I didn't know they were any good for that.
You just throw them in and see what happens. They squeal if it's too cold, scream if there are too many sharks, etc.
But, once in a while the results from science is a black swan events.
Such as?
Hmmm.... Idea - hydrophobic beer bottles.
Would that even work?
No, 'cause then *all* of it would squirt out when you pop the top.
Yes, thanks.
How come A/Cs never seem to get the joke?
