Under your view it is fine to hose blacks who are conducting a peaceful protest march. Sure they get hosed, but that is the cost of free speech. Its a bitch, but too bad. C'mon.
My comment did not pertain to replies that express contrary viewpoints. I am talking about people using moderation as a technique to oppress others views. Furthermore, I am not condemning moderation as an evil oppressor. It is a tool that can be effective at times for profitable discourse. It should be used respectfully and without malice. Thank you for responding.
Got to call the line somewhere... Besides.. we kill our cells all the time in daily activities. I think the idea is that embryonic stem cells are the embryo's, and not the parents..
In any case, this is great news. Adult stem cells do not get rejected by the body, unlike the other stem cells that come from a genetically different embryo.
If this technology pans out, then this would both alleviates moral questions, and make for better treatments in one punch.
Omnipotent does not mean every trick has to be stunning. I guess what I am saying is this scenario: God created the Universe, and that Universe created our flesh. He didn't create our flesh again, because by creating the Universe he did so already. Then, once the Universe created something suitable to his purposes, he endowed us with spirit.
Also, if you know that a certain desired result will happen by some process given sufficient time, and you start that process so that you get that result, then you are creating it. As we melt lead, and cast it.. We know the general end result, but we don't command each molecule along its journey. Complete control is not needed to create from existing materials. Surely, an all powerful creator could do it otherwise, but if such a creator exists, who am I, with my limited intelligence and knowledge, to judge the reasons for what that creator did?
Hell, I'm already afraid that by disagreeing with such an ancient slashdotter, I'm going to get modded to hell and back. Fear. Punishment. Mono-culture.
Disagreement is quite different than punishment. Disagree with my statement then. Write. Free-speech isn't done with a club though, its done through speech.
You make quite drastic un-substantiated claims about me. Why so rude? Is it because you are/. drone #1352?
Well??
If you want to, shall we look at the way/. culture tends to normalize rather than diversify? Have you noticed that the majority smothers the minorities? What chance would a Christian have on slashdot? What chance would an outspoken republican have here?
Face it. If it was free speech, then there wouldn't be moderation. Why is it that when I want to speak my mind, I first have to consider whether I will get modded down? A couple of bad mods in a row, and your account gets frozen for half a month. Sure I can get another account, or post anomalously but surely we shouldn't be afraid to post.
Its sad when we are both afraid to post because of the Whitehouse spies, and from the Slashdot moderators.
Furthermore, I see that you have been here on a slashdot since the beginning. Don't let your loyalty to/. blind you to its faults.
Definite difference between Bible, and church doctrine on how to interpret the Bible. If I've ever seen a book where interpretation is needed, its the bible.
I don't believe the man implied a direction in evolution. However, given an all knowing creator, a particular result of evolution would be known to that creator. In fact, his position does not contradict evolutionary theory. Its more like this:
A long living scientist has a box full of evolving lifeforms, and represents the whole eco-system. Evolution takes place as usual, eg. interspecies competition, inter-sexual and intra-sexual competition, etc.. the whole bit.
Now the scientist, in one corner of the box, has an escape hatch that leads to a different box. However, a life form has to have certain rare qualities which would allow it to go through the hatch. The choice of these rare qualities are at the scientists discretion. The life forms smell no food, or have any other desire or impulse to go through the hatch because it has nothing to offer them, and they can't get through anyway. Also the hatch doesn't play a role in fitness, or resources.. Its just there.
Evolution proceeds in its fashion within that ecosystem for eons, and one day a creature chances on those particular traits that allow it through the hatch. Purely random. Again, the qualities needed to get through the hatch were selected for by the eco-system, and not the hatch.
This creature moves into the new box, and the old scientist smiles, and says, "You are special. For I didn't design you, and yet you fit my design. Let me bestow upon you gifts most extraordinary."
God Creates the Universe-->Universe creates planets-->then Life-->then us. If God knows its going to happen, He doesn't have to be in on the final step. That's the logic of the argument. No, its not science.
Crackpots don't usually own companies. Let them test. You guys act like the inquisition, revolutionary ideas in science always face inquisitions of one sort or another. Sure, they can be wrong, but they are aware of the scientific process.
Sure there are those types.. But you know what I think.. There are alot more Walmart shopper. Their kids are going to run over to the video game section. They'll try the Wii and love it. The parents will look at the price tags and compare. $170 to $600..Now tell me whose gonna win.
I like to re-interpret the message of Magical Mystery Tour with each listen. Yeah. There is something to be said about albums as a whole artistic unit. Perhaps, the market can decide. $7.50 for the whole 10 song album, or the normal $1 per song rate.

How many failed missions is it now?
Now that's a Bad Human.
Ha Ha..The sometimes stupid spell-checker encounters my sometimes poor spelling.. Yeah, that would be strange.

I believe thy accept evolution, but not for humans.
I forgive you.
I also went off the handle a bit.
Oh hell, I'm funny!

I was hoping someone would cover my omissions.. Thanks.

But the Wii started production in July.

$0.99 for a whole album? Revolutionary!
