yeah, but all the rest also relative values wouldn't change that much... so it wouldn't really make a difference, just for people with huge amounts of cash(which, imho is a very good thing).
but the question is : who is the robber here ? Answer : the west. we are going over there and rob their seas and soil, and then we expect them to roll over docile ?
most of it has to do with history and moral/ethical guidelines. Jesus never discusses creationism, but he spends a lot of time suggesting that we help the poor, defend the defenseless, and be true and honest in all our relationships. This is really the goal of religion: defining our everyday actions.
I act morally, without religion, & I have even seen animals behave morally... ergo : religion is superfluous.
general Christian population (of which I am a part), blatantly presuming that despite so many things in the Bible being figurative, that 6 days (& the 6000 years) is so literal?
because the bible is being used literally. and selectively for that matter.
as a human being I find people who think that science can explain everything rather arrogant.
i find it even more insulting to think that even if there is a god, why doesn't he show himself? and how do these religious people know for a fact that what they are praying to, really is that god? And even if there is a god, then why doesn't he interfere ? is he incapable ? or not willing ? in both cases he loses the right to be prayed to.
There's nothing right now that looks as promising as the great booms of the past - railroads, automobiles, electricity, radio, aviation, plastics, computing, the Internet. The smart young people I know seem to be going into either biotech or law, but neither field is really booming. I have hopes for robotics, but it's not having a boom yet.
how about power? wind, solar, but that's just a matter of investing enough money. the tech is already available...
You are wrong: if you spread windmills out all over the continent, you'll ALWAYS gonna have electricity; see this study : http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2007/december5/windfarm-120507.html , It's basically impossible for an entire continent to be wind-free (because that would mean that the sun has stopped shining + the earth has stopped turning). and for the US, 2or3 5Mwh windmills per mile highway would be enough to replace ALL current production.

remove the index2.pl in the url, that should help. use just www.slashdot.org as url.
they tried(when the world cup was in the us) to cripple soccer in the same way : 4 quarters in stead of 2 halves.
use this link for slashdot : http://slashdot.org/index.pl?usebeta=0
That would be laptop One then ?
Agree, this SUX.
the US could NEVER have won that. No army can take on guerrillas.
And if you want 1 site to be able to use javascript, but you wouldn't allow another site to use it unless hell froze over ?

a few years doesn't repair the influence of 300 years of colonialism.

I don't belief this jesus christ-person really was a son of god, if this jesus even existed.
Jolie, president --> I can find pictures. There is not a single piece of evidence for a god.
If it's not very important for you to
millions of deaths are being made in the name of religion, I think i am entitled to a proof.

... like: 13.7 Billion projected onto 6000?

the difference is that there aren't safe options for cars, there are safe alternatives for nuclear.
solar, wind, wave, tidal, geothermal, ... ?
NO. 2 very fundamental problems with nuclear : 1/not 100% safe (99.999 is NOT GOOD ENOUGH!) 2/offloading our waste onto future generations.
knocking everything down every decade
what do you guys build with ? paper ?
