And "one day with the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day."
However, assuming John was writing to first century Christians (as he explicitly states in Rev 1:4, it was to the 7 churches of Asia), it would be rather obtuse for the context to allow such an interpretation.
A key passage for interpreting Revelations is the right at the start of the book,
Rev 1:1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,
So, I am pretty sure these RFID tags have nothing to do with the "mark of the beast", as almost 2000 years must surely be a stretch for "soon". They are similar in that the mark of the beast was necessary to "buy and sell" (i.e. government approval required) -- and the RFID tag being necessary to get the "public education".
No, having said that, if the person really believes that, I don't see how the government should be able to "force the child" to carry their RFID tag, as I am pretty sure that a public education is a constitutional right in Texas. -- That's the thing about rights, they are there to protect when even when your right is not popular (yes, even if it is stupid).
Even more importantly, this ignores a previous published article on "DNA Sequence from Cretaceous Period Bone Fragments" -- Science 266 (5188) 1229-1232, here is a PDF of the article in Science. Either 80 mya (Cretaceous) is horribly wrong, the 521 year half-live of DNA is horribly wrong, Woodruff, et al were horrible deceived (or frauds) or some combination of these.
You would hope evidence would be the deciding factor, but scientists are human too, and the interpretation of evidence is often more important than the actual evidence -- it is very hard to upset to prevailing opinion (as it should be when the opinion is well founded)
Yes, you appear to be slow thinking today (It happens to everybody).
kilometers per second how fast 2 galaxies recede from each other. mega parsec is a really long distance (3.26 light years / 19 trillion miles / 31 trillion kilometers)
The further away the galaxies, the faster they recede.
E.g., if 2 galaxies are 100 MegaParsecs apart, then they should be separating from each other at about 100 * 74.3 = 7430 kilometers per second.
You are not necessarily seeing smoke because they have not changed their oil in 2 years, you might be seeing smoke because of unburned fuel (soot) in the exhaust -- Not changing your oil will lead to excessive blowby after time, but you can take a brand new diesel engine and make black smoke by dumping in extra fuel, as you will see then under load at low speeds. Done it myself many times when working on test stands at Cummins -- 90% plus opacity in the exhaust. Modern control systems reduce the overfueling.
Carbon / Sodium battery not sugar battery. Must be just like Spenda -- We processed sugar so that it is no longer sugar, so we can make a stupid claim that gets your attention because you are fooled into thinking it is somehow made of sugar.
Considering we spend about 900 billion per year on education, more than any other industrialized country -- both in total and per capita maybe spending an extra 0.5 billion per year is just pissing in the ocean. We have doubled per capita inflation adjusted dollars since 1980 -- somehow spending an additional 0.01% is not likely to be a game changer.
The US generally pays the same for fossil fuels as any other country in the world -- O you mean the US should raise taxes on fossil fuels to the levels seen in Europe, etc. so that the end-user has to pay a painfully high price. There are a number of different possible ways to reduce your carbon footprint if that is the goal. Tax policy is usually best left to the locals -- taxation without representation seems to be a bit of a sticking point here in the US.
I believe we should be reduce our carbon footprint by quite a bit, but I think the idea of taxing fossil fuels to double costs smells worse than an oil refinery and I'll tell my congressmen to vote against it. I might even use strong language.
I don't know, but it sounds that being paid to be a to do stuff like this would be pretty awesome too. Maybe I can make a career change and become a researcher too.
On the contrary, there is lots of evidence. You compare the qualities of the source material, e.g., the Bible vs. Quran, etc. -- the quality that you are looking for is complete and unerring truth. Likewise, review the testimony of witnesses to the writers of the source material, are they credible, intelligent, etc. Do they back the claims of the writers. You compare the hostile testimony, with special emphasis on the hostile testimony to those that were witnesses of the original writers. In other words, you treat the claims of religious authority just like you would that of any other subject.
You will discover find that some writers have little credibility, others have more. You may eventually conclude that none of them are credible or you may eventually conclude that one source is credible, but you should do so based on the evidence. If you don't care what the evidence shows, that is your choice. But there is evidence that would allow you to decide if you considered it carefully.

The Case Against DNA

And this is why if you have been seated for a jury in recent history you very likely were briefed that real-life is not like Hollywood. The cops do not always collect finger print , DNA, or video evidence of the crime. And that you should not acquit using "reasonable doubt" just because these "iron-clad" evidences are missing -- They are not "iron-clad" when present and not evidence of "innocence" when missing.
Legal body disposal is not terribly expensive, about 10 years ago my father was cremated and "disposed of" -- total cost 1000 USD. Per his request, there was no funeral service but we had a pizza party at Noble Romans open to friends and family. We spent about as much on pizza as we did disposing of the body.
Funerals and fancy caskets, vaults, etc. -- now you are talking real money.
Clearly you are not a lawyer. A Good Samaritan defense for use of lethal force is perfectly viable in many jurisdictions, often explicitly excluded from the definition of homicide. E.g., Mississippi code 97-3-15 paragraphs e&f.
It might even be considered the moral thing as well depending on the circumstances.
Sounds like time to plug the LFTR reactor again (maybe a 3rd gen. version). Just think, replace the Helium working fluid with dumping the heat directly into the scramjet exhaust -- what's wrong with a little radiation in your exhaust, especially at 15 km -- who is even going to notice?
Low earth orbit (LEO) is really not very far out of the earth's gravity well -- if it were, you would not have to go 7.8 km/sec to maintain orbit. And hypersonic is not very fast either.
A friction free drop from low earth orbital height would only take about 180 seconds and have a final velocity of 6,200 kph or 3,900 mph. Earth gravity average is about 9.6 meter / sec (9.8 at surface, 9.4 at LEO). Your kinetic energy is also only about 5% of that needed for LEO.
To simplify, using constant acceleration. Vfinal = a*t 180 * 9.6 = 1728 m/s = 6220 km/h (roughly mach 18 at sea level) Vavg = is 1/2 Vfinal (when starting at rest) Distance = 1/2 a t^2 = 0.5 * 9.6 * 180 * 180 = 155,520 m -- this is about the lower threshhold to be considered for LEO, a little higher is more stable (but you won't achieve even this with a scramjet).
Lets be ridiculously generous and assume a scramjet boost phase could lift you to 155 km at mach 18. You have only gained about 5% of the necessary kinetic energy needed for LEO.
However, with chemical rockets, externalizing just a small fraction of the required boost phase is a huge benefit in effective payload / launch ratios. So, the net result would quite large in terms of launch capacity.
What you would actually accomplish is replacing the disposable booster stage of a launch vehicle with a reusable one. Maybe you could with excellent engineering reduce the cost of payload from $10,000 / kg to something more affordable -- but this will never result in cheap access to LEO.
If you are correct about this being IE only, there will be plenty of people that never notice the feature in the first place -- as long as they can download their browser of choice without tripping over this feature in the first place. However, for the lazy / ignorant users of IE, Microsoft has finally decided them to punish them for their behavior, certainly this must be a good thing.
Yes, the earth is flat -- This is a reasonable accurate approximation of the earth that we use on a daily basis. With 10 km of earth surface, it is the best and most appropriate approximation of reality for relatively short distances along the surface of the earth. This is why I happily use glad use a 2-D map 99.97% of the time instead of a 3-D globe.
Really, you don't think a rapist, thief, or murderer should be punished by the government. I am a real conservative and I do think the government should do these things, the alternative being lynch mobs or other forms of private justice. I.e., I think the government should enforce these moral positions.
Drunkenness, lying, adultery, and abortion are morally wrong -- Does it make sense for the government to have and enforce laws related to them? Except in special circumstances, the answer to these is general limited to situations where the harm or potential harm to other is significant. I.e., no law against drunkenness, but laws against public intoxication and driving while intoxicated.
Abortion is morally wrong -- The question is whether the government should enforce that moral issue.
Oh no, according to the Mormons, I don't exist. In put in my name and birthyear. None of the matches had anything to do with me. Fortunately, I am not depending upon Mormon theology to save my immortal soul.
