My explanation needs to go into detail. People join and pray in a church. That makes them feel good and gives them a sense of togetherness. People feel happy that they believe what their community believes, that they belong and that the group also believes in what they believe. It gives a sense of completeness.
Even if the message is completely incorrect, people feel good because of the factors mentioned above. In the end, serious answers are not made but people feel satisfied with their complete small picture. Even if it is completely incorrect, they feel good in having an answer that their group also believes in. This is the phenomenon.
The message is irrelevant to the phenomenon detailed above.
Now science is the result of investigation, and verification - of hundreds of thousands of trained individuals over centuries.
In fact biology is based on science and medicine is based on biology. Evolution and natural selection are basic tenants of biology. To deny their importance in our daily lives is to be frighteningly ignorant of these facts.
Religion is based on what that can be proven, tested and validated?
This reminds me of my observation: A government of, by and for the masses is going to be pretty damn sub standard.
We need exceptional people to lead our country. If the masses are majority either uninformed or intent in believing what they FEEL, it's going to be hard to get the government we need to stay successful.
On that note, Washington's high ranks are made up of lawyers who push policy, not scientists who can tell us things like "we're exterminating fisheries we rely on for food", "global warming will screw with weather patterns we rely on to grow our food", etc...
Seems remarkably short sighted to NOT have a top level "Department of Science"
I propose these for consideration and modification:
Life was a whole lot more sacred when there were 1000 humans on the planet.
Actually, it's worth considering that you are born stateless and need to earn your citizenship. Your worth would increase with your life's accomplishments. How to judge them is another matter.
Regarding the death penalty: If you go out of your way to become a blight upon society, you deserve to be removed from it. But to do this you had better damn well be sure that that person IS guilty.
Please remember that these are just thoughts to ponder, not absolute decrees.
Yes and I'm scared that we're approaching a Christian induced period of "believe in what makes you feel good" instead of "believe in what is correct, true and accurate."
I'd like to become a born again SCIENTIST but I never left the fold.
If any are tough enough to do it and already have a Biology degree, pick up and read Origin of the Species. Many things were not known to Darwin and his peers at the time like genetics and plate tectonics so many of his assumptions are not entirely accurate, but they are a path on the road to the understanding that we have today. Read it for reference, not to learn new concepts since many ideas posted are superseded by what we now know. And read it so that you actually can talk on an informed manner to those who claim to know that evolution is a myth.
Religion is a panacea for those of small minds who are to lazy to learn how the world really works and feel comfortable with small and easy answers - even if they are false.
I just phoned the Detroit office of the FBI who raided Ralsky's home at (313) 965-2323 and told the responding agent that I was so unbelievably happy that their office raided Alan Ralsky.
The agent was amazed and replied "uh thank you. We don't get calls like this very often."
OMG. Wow.
This is an excellent opportunity to show your support that we STRONGLY support their action and efforts!
If they know their is huge public support for this, that may help them to shut down more of these spammers!
This is AWESOME!
Just call and say thanks and this will keep things moving in the right direction.
Wow. You'd think there would be a minimum IQ test to use the internet. Or at least you'd have to master 5th grade English and get an "Internet Usage License".
These "You're a Winner" pieces of crap suck ass because 1) they are lying to you and 2) they are served up by companies who obviously aren't paying lots of attention to their ethics and often show up on webites I would like to trust; too bad their ads are lying to me.
Lying to a potential customer to try and make 2 cents is remarkable insulting to the reader.
I simply want YOUR marketing mesage OUT of my face.
Having been to the old Be office and having used the OS, I can hope the case was GOD YES. Hopefully, the disk OS folks that were recruited from Be (polite wording intended) will add some of the major goodness to Mac OS.
I believe you may have been correct yet more powerful forces were at work. Forces willing, the goodness of Be will live on in an OS that needed to be from NeXT, and Unix for matters too complex to explain.
I have an iPod mini and a set of "top of the line" Denon headphones from 1991 AH-D900 (on right now in fact).
Yes, 1991.
Oh my fucking GOD.
Currently listening to some meaty rich deep bass tracks off of ProtonRadio.com. Without the EQ on the iPod mini kicks serious ass over these headphones. The Denons have serious impact to them on the low end - rich filling impactful bass and high end crispness and clarity. Sadly, I don't know if Denon makes high end headphones anymore and I have not heard their DJ headphones but I do know these 14 year old babys sound better to me than my Sonys and even Sennheisers.
Whoa. Good mix. Chills up the spine.
ProtonRadio, Denon headphones, CAFFEINE and the iPod Mini at full blast. Simply fucking awesome.
Feel like I'm pimping for Denon but they are soo cool they are, in fact, sweet.:]
It amazes me that people actually think they are going to win.
If they were, Vegas would have gone out of business by now. It's common sense people need to pay attention to. Lack of knowledge of statistics and mathematics (in this case) is a license to rob from the ignorant and/or stupid. "facts is facts", pardon the grammar
Actually, for a short stint, I used to write gambling software. We had payout over time charts and mathemagical statistics charts that told us the amount of money that each game would return per hour and level of play.
I never play because I am not an idiot. As least not in that sense anyways.

Forgive me as I was typing from memory. The correct title of the book is not "Origin of the Species" but "Origin of Species".
If we're going to talk about it, we should at least have the correct name of what we're talking about.

Perhaps as long as it serves their needs?

Ok. Good point.
1. We need to wake up to this.
2. We need to investigate how to stop it.
3. We need to turn that plan into action.
Talking about it is a dead end unless those words lead to action.
HERESY!
It is flawed, but for those who propose ID probably don't realize that ID is seriously flawed as well.
How about DD?

Everyone always complains, No one says thanks. It's time some people did.
Thanks bro :]

No love. The PDF is down too.
This site went down so fast it didn't even make it to Mirrordot.
Time to upgrade the modem.

I'm sorry. That's just spreading false hope.

As I heard it from one of the competitors, the water was all murky and none of the teams' algorithms worked.
