The terrorist attack of 9/11 lies solely on the shoulders of the government. I can tell you that 100% of the people in congress had locks on their doors. Why the hell was there not a lock on the door to the plane?
There are ways to get around locks. At the very least, the terrorists could take a flight attendant hostage and force them to ask the pilots to unlock the door.
I didn't find the crude "anus" humor so funny. What made it funny to me was seeing this site after sites that let you buy property on the moon and on Mars along with the radio advertisements allowing you to name a star after someone. That combined with the "anus" humor cracked me up.
Nonetheless, I don't really think that this is the funniest site on the internet. It's called hyperbole.
if they could use color bar codes to store actual HTML code. You could scan it into your cellphone or other device and it would create a webpage from the bar code without connecting to the internet.
Then, of course, you'd have to worry about viruses. Hackers could go into stores and stick a custom-made bar code on top of the original so Grandmas would unknowingly get their phone zombified and connected to a global cellphone bot-net and their phones will start making random calls to random phones on the other side of the world...
I basically only block website adverts if they are (softcore or hardcore) porn. I don't want to look at porn, and if an advertiser is going to throw it in my face (a la facebook, myspace, fileplanet/ign with their "Girls of Gaming") then I am gonna lay the smack-down on 'em and block 'em to kingdom come.
I understand that ads bring in revenue and help keep sites alive but I'm not going to be subject to the filth that advertisers sometimes feel it necessary to use to get people to click to their website.
Which is the exact argument that was used for movie editing companies. I don't have the software/time/expertise/desire to edit a movie myself so I pay someone else to edit my copy for me and burn it to another disc for me. Plain and simple. I would not buy some of the movies that I have bought if it weren't for placed like family flix.
Sadly, this argument did not hold up in court... at least not during this first go around. I think the decision is going to be appealed.
I knew it. Microsoft is in league with the Nihilanth. They are working with Xen to take over the world. I'm waiting to hear Gates start talking about our benefactors.
They completely ignore the fact that trees and ANIMALS are found that are embedded through several layers of sediment... proving that those animals stood in the same spot for many millions of years????!!! No.
They completely ignore the fact that many of the "prehistoric" animals are found with food -- still green, undigested, and perfectly preserved -- in their stomachs. Um... obviously these creatures must have died and been preserved fairly quickly!
They would prefer to believe that somehow all of the matter (with no origin) came together by a force (with no origin), spun around and blew up (though many planets, moons, and galaxies, don't follow one of the laws of physics: that particles exploding off of a spinning object spin the same direction as that object). At that point, the earth was a big soup (molten rock). The soup came alive (for no reason), figured out how to reproduce itself, and eventually mutated (though the phenomenon has never been observed to the point of a total change of species) into all of the creatures that this earth has today.
Evolution states that all life came from a single one-celled animal that spontaneously came to life. Question: how (or more importantly: why) did cell-division reproduction "evolve" into male-female reproduction? It's a whole lot easier to just split yourself than to get a male and female gendered being together!!!
The reason I can't reasonably argue with anything you've said is because nothing you've said so far is open to logical, or indeed rational, discussion.
I believe the above (re)posting of several statements proves you wrong!
Your justification for your "facts" is that they're mentioned in the Bible.
All of the facts that I (re)listed above STILL make your theory look silly! The truth is, the above statements are facts, whether the Bible gives an answer for them or not. The Bible's explanation for these facts is purely a secondary matter. These facts still exist, whether or not you believe the Bible is true!
I am done, for now. I am tired of messing with you guys. You can't do anything more than insult me and insult what I say about God and the Bible. You have no proof. You can't argue with anything I've said. I'm done posting about this here. I'll be back, though. Maybe by then you can come up with some decent replies!
1. The Bible is just a big book of stories. None of them are true.
The Bible is not true?! I beg to differ! Many of the Proverbs are provable. Example:
Prov. 30:33 -Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
Prov. 26:17 -He that passeth by, [and] meddleth with strife [belonging] not to him, [is like] one that taketh a dog by the ears .
Prov. 27:14 -He that passeth by, [and] meddleth with strife [belonging] not to him, [is like] one that taketh a dog by the ears .
Okay, I know that's not what you meant. However, you did leave yourself wide open for that one and I got you for it!;P
More seriously, you have no proof that it (the part you want not to be true) is not true. While in the meantime, the rest of the Bible has several things in it that are true. Not just practical advice like I posted above, either! The people in the New Testament are made reference to by Flavius Josephus in his book.
There is also scientific proof.
The Bible mentions (as shown in a previous post) underwater fountains. Science did not discover these until 1977!!!
Leviticus 17:11 states that the "life of the flesh is in the blood." Scientists at one point thought that disease was caused by bad blood, while the Bible had the truth long before!
Isaiah 40:22 states "It is He who sits above the circle of the earth." It took science thousands of years to figure out that the Earth was not flat, but spherical just as the Bible stated.
These are only some examples of the Bible's correctness. The examples in previous posts were mostly of Evolution's incorrectness.
2. Please don't ever reproduce.
Why?! Because you just can't seem to come up with a decent argument?! You guys really (and I mean really) make me laugh!
Also, btw. I don't think I clarified that the animals found preserved with green food in their stomachs were found frozen! This gives more validity to the canopy theory. The water-vapor canopy would have had several effects. Among these, it would have equalized temperature around the earth. When it fell, the temperature would have dropped quickly freezing a mammoth in water that it was in.
Another proof of the water-vapor canopy is found in fossils. Palm tree fossils have been found in Alaska! According to the current dating methods the fossils are only 10,000 years old so they couldn't have moved there from "tectonic plate movement"!
Also, in the antarctic scientists have found unfossilized frozen tropical forests. In the New Siberian Islands they found 90-ft plum trees frozen. More evidence supporting the theory!
So you've reduced the ultimate spiritual being to some sort of galactic magician who makes water appear and disappear in order to teach a few people a rather obscure lesson?
You are really pathetic, do you know that? You can't reasonably argue with anything that I've said, so you make really stupid insults based on a single example of what the ultimate spiritual being did!
To be more precise: I have done nothing of the sort. That was simply an instance of something that he did. God is not some "galactic magician," he is a Spirit being that wants to have a personal relationship with the highest and best of his creation: you! I didn't "reduce" God, I simply gave an instance of what he did. Another example of what he did: He spoke the Universe into existence!
And btw, since I know somebody will probably try to say this, it is much easier to believe that an all-powerful being created the universe and everything in it than to believe that everything, from the laws of physics to the intricate detail of the human eye to the amazing process of reproduction, came from a gigantic cosmic belch!!!
Several "facts"... uh-huh...
I have yet to hear you come up with a different explanation for the evidence I have provided.
Here's another one fun evolution-busting fact:
Evolution states that all life came from a single one-celled animal that spontaneously came to life.
Question: how (or more importantly: why) did cell-division reproduction "evolve" into male-female reproduction? It's a whole lot easier to just split yourself than to get a male and female gendered being together!!!
It's good to read everything in someone's post before making an argument.
As for animals embedded in sediment, what do you think would happen to a dead animal? The geological stratum somehow expands to surround the skeleton? Of course not - successive layers of sediment would collect in and around the skeleton, which (surprise surprise) is exactly what we find to happen.
You forgot that I stated that the animals were standing up! They died naturally, but continued standing up?!
Another thing you forgot was the fact that I mentioned that other animals were found with preserved, green, plants undigested in their stomachs. They must have died very quickly and been preserved very quickly as well, as even after an animal dies it's stomach acids still work for some time afterwards!
OK, suppose there was a world-wide flood (i.e. a flood of water in large enough volume to cover the major land areas in water) - how would it run off? Unless you're suggesting a rainstorm that somehow produced water from absolutely nothing and dumped it in the space of a few days or months, after which the water once again disappeared back where it came from.
Quote from Genesis 7:11-12:
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. {windows: or, floodgates} 12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
Well, I have to say that we Christians don't know it all, but we have a few theories based on the Bible. As just stated in the Bible, the fountains of the deep were broken up. We have the underwater geysers and things like that that we know about now (they were actually mentioned in the Bible long before scientists discovered them), so I'm going to guess that the ground broke up and all the water underneath came gushing up (because God told it too. It wasn't a spontaneous thing, like the "big-bang." God did cause some of it to happen). As for the "windows of heaven", there is a theory based on the following Scripture:
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which [were] under the firmament from the waters which [were] above the firmament: and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it was so. - Genesis 1:7-9
the theory states that God placed a water-vapor canopy over the earth on this day of creation. That is what is referred to by the "waters above the firmament (sky)", and later by the "windows of heaven."
As for where the water went, well most of it went back down into the cracks in the deep that God emptied.
And as for your last point, you seem to be so limited in your view of God that you can't comprehend the possibility of the Universe coming into existence as the result of Divine Will, with everything else occurring thereafter being the result of the physical conditions within that Universe
I am "limited in [my] view of God"??? Only because I believe the Bible and what it says.
I suppose you are suggesting that God caused the big-bang. That isn't what the Bible says. I believe in the God in the Bible. If that limits my view of God, well then I am enjoying my limitation in it's fullest, because my theory agrees with 1)the Bible and 2)the evidence.
In the end, I really can't prove my theory is true, but neither can you. And you have much more trouble doing it! The only major differences between our theories is that:
1) Mine is backed by the Bible while yours isn't.
2) Yours is government funded, while mine isn't.
Before you start trying to criticise theories, at least learn to reason logically, OK?
How has my reasoning been illogical?! Mostly, I just posed several facts! I didn't really do too much reasoning.
(Sorry about that last post. Accidentally pressed "submit" instead of "preview". Is there a way to edit your posts?! I can't see it!)
Not to mention that you can't stop the Lord's work.
Face it people we are at His mercy.
Accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior.
Naaaaawww. Most slashdotters would never do that. They wouldn't dare to actually consider the fact that a lot of their "scientific evidence" is incorrect or could be looked at at... *gasp!*...another way.
They all just kind of pressume that the earth has always developed at the same rate. Water has always flowed at the same rate, therefore the Grand Canyon took millions of years to form.
They leave out the possibility of a disaster like a world-wide flood (OMGoodness! Just like the Bible talks about).
If there was a world-wide flood, the water run-off could carve out a good portion of the Grand Canyon or Niagra Falls in a few hours.
They completely ignore the fact that trees and ANIMALS are found that are embedded through several layers of sediment... proving that those animals stood in the same spot for many millions of years????!!! No.

At that point, the earth was a big soup (molten rock).

That's much more intelligent!
Um... ok. So we just know that radioactive isotopes decay at the exact same rate under all circumstances and conditions and at all points in the universe. Sorry, you cannot prove that.
Yes. It's where you come from. I come from a country that actually takes a look at ALL possible options... not just ONE SINGLE possibility that some scientists force on everybody.;D
I also like to thing logically. Example:
How did cell-division evolve into male-female reproduction? Ummm... seems to me that splitting yourself would be easier.
How come the Big-Bang cannot be emulated on a small scale at all? (Have you ever blown something up and gotten complete and perfect order?)
All the dust in the universe came together into a dot that spun really fast and exploded. 1)Where did the dust come from? 2)Why did it come together? 3)Where did the energy to spin come from? 4)If something spins and blows apart, it's particles all spin in the same direction. Why then do moons, planets, even galaxies spin in opposite directions?
1)The earth is moving away from the sun. 2)That means the earth used to be... closer to the sun! 3)Millions of years ago, the earth would have been burnt to a crisp by the sun. How did the dinosaurs survive?
1)The moon is moving away from the earth. 2)That means the moon used to be... closer to the earth. 3)At some point in history, earth would have flooded twice a day. Most dinosaurs could only drown comfortably once a day. How did the dinosaurs survive in boiling water?
I bet that you won't here very much about the results of the pictures they take. They would HATE to reveal any evidence that disproves the big-bang theory and evolution.;D Though I guess they could probably find some way of twisting things around to try and support the big-bang. Like the idea of a "Red Shift" for which there are several other possible explanations. And the Hubble and the so-called "Hubble Constant" that changes all the time (should be called the "Hubble Variable").
Wow. I just got that virus this morning (and I'm on a dial-up modem!!!). I had no idea what was going on, but I figured it was a virus. I saw a new program in the "Tasks" window, so I closed the window, found and deleted the file, and destroyed the Registery Key that it had made for reference in MSCONFIG.EXE. That was all there was to it! I'm glad that the creator of the virus was either a dork or a "nice" virus creator and made the virus very easy to get rid of.
Dude!!! If I go to a store and buy a painting, and take it home, it is MY painting! I can do what I want with it! If I decide that I would prefer it to have the upper-left corner ripped off and the lower-left corner painted over with a vomit-yellow...... that is MY decision. I have a right to change the painting how I see fit.
If I then meet a friend who really like the painting I bought, and likes it done the way that I have done it, then he can buy another painting just like mine, bring it over, and let me do it up the same way!!!!!! That is HIS decision!!!
And I certainly don't think that the painter of the original work would get all upset and sue us because we payed him the full amount for his painting and then changed it to our liking! I think he would be glad to sell us a few more copies at full price and let us do whatever we want to it!
The deal is, is that Hollywood is made up of a bunch of creeps who have nothing better to do than to fill your minds with a bunch of polluted and trashy filth.
And no, I'm not your momma! I am an 18-year-old male, so that can just go to dispell the idea that every teenage male wants to watch filth!!!
I highly commend RCA for their efforts... and what's more, I hope that they eventually make a filter that works on ALL DVDs.

Interesting since, according to Etymonline, "inhumane" comes from "inhuman" which is "from in- "not" + humanus "human."

Then, of course, you'd have to worry about viruses.

Well, I have to say that we Christians don't know it all, but we have a few theories based on the Bible. As just stated in the Bible, the fountains of the deep were broken up.

1)The earth is moving away from the sun. 2)That means the earth used to be... closer to the sun! 3)Millions of years ago, the earth would have been burnt to a crisp by the sun. How did the dinosaurs survive?
1)The moon is moving away from the earth. 2)That means the moon used to be... closer to the earth. 3)At some point in history, earth would have flooded twice a day. Most dinosaurs could only drown comfortably once a day. How did the dinosaurs survive in boiling water?
etc... etc... etc...
I bet that you won't here very much about the results of the pictures they take. They would HATE to reveal any evidence that disproves the big-bang theory and evolution. ;D Though I guess they could probably find some way of twisting things around to try and support the big-bang. Like the idea of a "Red Shift" for which there are several other possible explanations. And the Hubble and the so-called "Hubble Constant" that changes all the time (should be called the "Hubble Variable").
Wow. I just got that virus this morning (and I'm on a dial-up modem!!!). I had no idea what was going on, but I figured it was a virus. I saw a new program in the "Tasks" window, so I closed the window, found and deleted the file, and destroyed the Registery Key that it had made for reference in MSCONFIG.EXE. That was all there was to it! I'm glad that the creator of the virus was either a dork or a "nice" virus creator and made the virus very easy to get rid of.
Dude!!! If I go to a store and buy a painting, and take it home, it is MY painting! I can do what I want with it! If I decide that I would prefer it to have the upper-left corner ripped off and the lower-left corner painted over with a vomit-yellow...... that is MY decision. I have a right to change the painting how I see fit.
If I then meet a friend who really like the painting I bought, and likes it done the way that I have done it, then he can buy another painting just like mine, bring it over, and let me do it up the same way!!!!!! That is HIS decision!!!
And I certainly don't think that the painter of the original work would get all upset and sue us because we payed him the full amount for his painting and then changed it to our liking! I think he would be glad to sell us a few more copies at full price and let us do whatever we want to it!
The deal is, is that Hollywood is made up of a bunch of creeps who have nothing better to do than to fill your minds with a bunch of polluted and trashy filth.
And no, I'm not your momma! I am an 18-year-old male, so that can just go to dispell the idea that every teenage male wants to watch filth!!!
I highly commend RCA for their efforts... and what's more, I hope that they eventually make a filter that works on ALL DVDs.
