There will come a day where people stop argueing about whether or not jesus, noah and adam/eve existed, and start listening to the values in the Bible.
Im agnostic, and stuff like love, charity and forgiveness sound fine by me. What doesnt sound fine by me is people with blind faith. They're the ones who hold back progress. Perhaps they are scared that science will make the world less "godly". I would lik to say, the more you know, the more wonderful the universe becomes.

Wind generation, along with wave and solar and many other forms of renewables does not provide electricity in the reliable and large amounts the modern society needs.
Although Nuclear reactors are expensive, i would rather pay for something that will get the job done all the time, then have my country running on the weather.
As part of my economics studies, i have been wondering about what the world will do when oil runs out.
Of course its all the rage to predict the apocalypse, that civilisation will crumble, but i have found that human society (as complacant as it is) is amazingly adapatable, and this shows in quiet a number of economic studies, such as the the relatively small effect of huge oil price rises on world output and historically, the transition of the world from coal to oil and electricity early last century/late 1800's.
I like to think that today manufacturing technology and transport efficency has led to a more adapatable world economy, one that can absorbe oil price increases, and even adapt to a lack of it.
The equation is simple, and is not only confined to oil. As supply decreases and demand increases, investment is placed into other technologies to alliviate supply problems in order to maximize revenue. As oil demand increases, money is placed into the development of alternate fuel sources.
We can see this happening as we live today: China's nuclear reactors, hybrid cars and new fuel cell technologies. All we need now is for development and thus price efficency in alternate fuel sources to reach an equlibrium with the price of oil, for businesses to begin seriously adapting to alternates.
The oil supply problems may even force industries like transport and manufacturing to invest in captial that is more energy efficent, and in turn cleaner.
Without sounding to much like a fantasy, such a transition, although possible from an economic standpoint, doesnt come without a short-term lost in productivity. It will be a while before alternates reach oil parity prices, and before that happens, transport costs will cause cost push inflation, which will in turn decrease our affluency with money.
We'll make it, as long as we have entrepenures, engineers and capable business people seeking income.
All we need now is a clean method such as fusion, fission or renewables to produce the hydrogen.
There may be some problems, such as fuel efficency and power in early designs, but transition machines are essential to enableing the clean hydrogen economy.
As gas price rises, investment in alternatives increases as consumer interest increases. It's early days, but we'll get there.
What the hell are you on about. It appears you entangled two seperate cliches, in anttempt to create something funny and new, while forgeting the basis of the english language.
The problem is that society has removed the negative effects of making a mistake or doing seomthing wrong, so theres no impulse for most people to attempt success.
In Australia, its called Occupational Health and Safty. I can see its purpose, making our lives safer through law, but the negative effects could be as large as what the article describes. A wildcard example that is very common, through law, in all workplaces now, is that kettles now have to be labled as hot. Toasters need to be labled as dangerous because of their electric contents.
Darwin described it many years ago, and called it Natural Selection. Developed society has removed the implications of being weak, and therefore made them as equal as the strong in their chances for success.
Its tough to say, but these days, to many children are stressed beyond belief at school, but in the wrong way. At school more work = smarter children, but this never happens if all that work is done incorrectly and then not corrected. To much these days children arn't told: You failed or Thats incorrect, do it again. In the current education system in Australia there is no fail. the marks on every single course range from 50 to 100.
People learn via a combination of things. 1. The rewards of succeeding, 2. Fear of failure and 3. Having initative enough to learn from mistakes.
The ultra clean environment we have made for our children is apparently weakening their immune systems. The ultra safe environment, is removeing their addaptive ability. The ultra success society, is removeing the distinction between success and failure. And the ultra information society, is removing the need for general knowlege. Sure, there are alot of good kids out there, alot of smart kids, who take the initative. But society is focused on protecting, not helping those who fail.
We have smart people, working, to pay taxes, to ensure that the people who dont work, have enough money to pay their bills for pay tv and alcohol while their kids run wild. All the same time as the smart people are having fewer and fewer children.
Another problem is that these days, the devices and tools the occupy out childrens lives cant be as easily taken apart. When i was young, i remember building a radio, playing with instructionless technic, playing with electronics, looking at motors. But now, the iPod cant be oppened, the motors in lawn mowers can only be touched by a licenced dealer, and Lego comes with specially designed pieces and themed instructions.
I hate to say it. But society needs to bring back the difference between success and failure, and therefore provide the impulse for people to learn from their mistakes, not their text books.
We need to bring back natural selection.
The best tool we have left in our stock now, is the combination of the economy and law enforcement. If the failures turn to crime, they might die or be arrested. If the failures want a job to support themselves they have to conform to that jobs regulations: pants, a tie and knowlege on a specific area. Sadly, the huge amount of welfare and the effect of liability in decreasing the law enforcement powers of the police have made these weapons weak.
SETI is the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence, they do not involve themselves often in cosmological debates, instead they focus on mapping radio signals from numorus star systems. The radio signals they recieve however have led cosmologists to discover a number of special objects in space.
NASA might have been a better choice for inclusion in your parent post, or better yet a astonomological group.
For consumers, any patch is a good thing, the sooner the better. However considered Microsoft is a business, and wishs to focus on Vista development and sales, this is the best thing for them.
What happens when a deprived person brute-forces your wireless pace-maker and sets it to extreme mode?
Of course the chances of this are slim to none and the benifits of these emerging technologies peobly outweight the risks, as long as adequate debugging measures are taken during the process of writing their firmware.
I always imagined a time in the near future, where the implimentation of technology into the human body would happen slowly, and thus allow for adaption. When someone screams out 2006 "Year of the Cyborb" one needs to remeber that hearing aids, and pace makers have been around for a very long time. Of course, now it is only a matter of time before electronic prehipherals become something of a "i do/i dont" in society.
The next generation of educational computer programs to include AI and the ability to love.
But seriously, i strongly agree with the parent poster, for the better part of modern history we have been reading, and part of that is to do with our love for the activity. Part of that love comes from shareing our experience with others and more often then not escaping into world where we can be enlightened, held in suspence, or gain knowlege. The other part of reading, which has been removed by this volly of educational software is our own ability to interpret the story.
I remeber reading the Lord of the Rings the first time many many years ago, to find myself imagining rich landscapes and environments when my mind could play out the story. When a computer program does the interpretation for, of all people, a child there is a loss of that connection.
Going into space is a huge matter, reaching escape velocity is another entirely, the earth gravitational field is immense, and it takes a huge amount of energy to escape, i forget the equation exactly, but the initial speed for escape velocity is huge.
Space might not have much friction, but the earths gravity might have a role to play.
