It's true. You can send the brain any kind of perceptible signal and if there's a pattern to it, the brain will catch on and start figuring out what it means. If, somehow, your brain were re-wired so you'd control your arm with the section that once controlled your eye, you'd start to get the hang of moving the arm with the new circuitry.
We do have to learn to use our own eyes after birth, in any case. The only disadvantage previously-blind people would have is a relative lack of skills to use it.
Thanks for being the first person on this board to list facts instead telling everyone else to fetch them for him.
Problem with this form of dating is that it's measuring years in carbon and geological layers. You understand that the only conclusions reached by this are assumptions, as the link between time and layers of land is abstract. I'm a big fan of theories, but the idea of humanity evolving from the first Earthly life forms is stacked on way too many assumptions for me.
Also I'm not trying to defend the 6-day creation idea. My favored theory is that life though our galaxy - and a few others - has been organized for quite a long time now, and because of evolutionary factors, we've able to move between star systems by default. I think the life forms on the planets involved get a 'boost' now and then when the timing seems right - a 'boost' being when advancements from this group of star systems are circulated - and that humans and a lot of the current species are either the result of DNA toying, or were once foreign to Earth entirely.
This involves a lot of evolution on a much greater scale, but since it doesn't involve Earth life starting on its own, it's technically creationism.
It's pretty elaborate, yeah, but I could bore you with page upon page of actual thinking that goes into this. And of course it's all just theory.
Existence exists because that's what it does. People only say 'nobody will ever know' when they don't want to accept their shortcoming as an individual.
I really hate those end-of-line comments. I prefer comments I can erase easily after reading, and don't add unnecessary whitespaces. Getting rid of those takes too much clicking around for me.
I'd complain about the religious nut jobs inciting the investigation of this unchurchly act, but this is the police. Anyone can appreciate the irony when the government's hit-men are put in their place by their own kind.
You just proved that theory wrong. See, if you were to say "the overall light given off by the ball is between X and Y wavelengths" then a simple lab experiment would show that it's right or wrong.
Well, it's already common knowledge that evolutionism effects dating systems. A few people set up an elaborate timeline displaying years with a bunch of zeroes added to the end, saying "here's the fish and here's the monkeys and here's the humans" and that's used as a map for dating. X form of carbon deterioration goes on year B of the made-up timeline, and so forth.
The whole thing is not necessarily untrue, but appallingly unlikely. Were it not heavily enforced by the school system, I'd wonder why in the world anyone would give it much credit at all.
Just a matter of politics, really. A hundred years ago they enforced creationism, and now they enforce evolutionism. It all depends who's pulling the strings and controlling the school system. They could be telling people 1+1=12 and this/. article would say "the pseudo-science of 1+1=2".
Also, everything false can be disproved. I'm just saying. To think anything can't be proven or disproved is to say reality has no basis to be figured out.
I, myself, like Darwin's ideas, but I'm thinking they'd apply better in the context of the universe and life forms preceding those of Earth, as opposed to just Earth. The painful fact - that some don't want to accept - is that we have spirits, and that they're all over the place. Does it intrigue anyone else that our essence is something capable of survival in space and extremely fast speeds? That we're based in something ideal for jumping from one celestial body to another? Not many people want to think this through all the way.
I would think the the actual birthplace of life would be near a star, perhaps, where matter goes through a million times more patterns in a second than on a slow-moving planet like Earth. I'd think the trial-and-error methods Darwin observed would meet success way faster in such an environment. It only makes sense. My overall theory on the path of intelligence is that life started as quirky and inefficient gassy form somewhere, then evolved into the fast and more efficient spirits we have today, which in turn invented (or maybe just spawned) the carbon-hydrogen bodies we're controlling right now.
Just an idea from this little gnostic. No theism or atheism involved.
Yeah, but the evolutionist todo list will surely be solved in a million years or so, since it pretty much works by constructing nonsensical ideas and adding billions of years to prove whatever some guy makes up.
you'll have to wait almost ten years before an FDA approval and a commercial introduction of products based on this discovery
On a related note, the FDA discovered a new brain malfunction in children, called Conformance Deficit Disorder (CDD), yesterday. Approval and sales of drugs treating this are expected to go through tomorrow.
lol, this company needs some real catch-phrases - "SMARTGUARD: Because it's not psychotic mind-control when parents do it!" "SMARTGUARD: Now you can be Nazi-style parent without leaving your chair!" "SMARTGUARD: Because -- oh no! Your kid got out of his cage!"
The Bible isn't really an astronomy book; it doesn't mention much of anything outside the middle-east. I'm fairly certain there are other ancient texts that would mention life on other planets, since I've seen some texts that described star systems that can't be seen with the naked eye and were only discovered by mainstream astronomers recently.
Usually there's somebody we haven't been told about, who already knew a crucial piece of information centuries or millenniums ago, but circumstances and information control kept it from becoming a world-renowned discovery. There may have been a guy in deep Africa who harnessed electricity in 1000 BC and we never heard about it.
But you can imagine how the standard attention-whore researcher would react to and ancient text about beings on another planet. It's not something we'd hear about from the school system.
Either way, I personally haven't seen the Bible mention Mars life anywhere. Personally, I'm certain that life came here from elsewhere and that the original script by Moses would have mentioned the details, but I think Genesis was torn to pieces by the church in order to fit the standard belief. You can see censorship written all over it.
I'm so inspired I think I'll go bomb an abortion clinic, sacrifice a virgin, kill anyone involved in helping the human race with medical science and exterminate people who masturbate and kill thousands of living beings with a napkin.
The problem is that computers allow people to find out about things and, even worse, allow them to toy with games and programs that distract and keep them from misery and obedience to corporations. Very bad for the school system. You don't learn to obey your authority effectively when you're not dedicating your life and soul to their work.

I think the view would be of a bunch of meteors about to slam into you..

Reality doesn't have much regard for chance. It's either right or wrong
Frankly, you're a moron if you're not aware of the evolutionist-created timeline. There's no way to reason with you and your dogma.
What you're saying is that science is too dumb to figure anything out. I really don't buy that
Still don't like your dogma. Come up with something better
And 'we' refers to you and who else?

What you're saying is that you have to be religious to be right. Dunno if I like your dogma here.
"Theory: This ball is red."
You just proved that theory wrong. See, if you were to say "the overall light given off by the ball is between X and Y wavelengths" then a simple lab experiment would show that it's right or wrong.

By that logic, nothing can be proven, which makes no sense. Evolutionism is unproven because it's flawed, not because nothing can be proven.
Yeah, but the evolutionist todo list will surely be solved in a million years or so, since it pretty much works by constructing nonsensical ideas and adding billions of years to prove whatever some guy makes up.
Meh. Same thing happened to Galileo. The cult of pseudo-science just happens to enforce evolutionism these days.
Heh. The definition of 'republic' should be updated to "a despotism with revolving dictators"

I'll now get off my soap box and let the trolling continue.
You mean by someone else?

Wow, a new excuse to drug kids has sprung. I wonder how much they're making on PDD pills? Do they have any drug-induced suicides under their belt yet?
