The way they handle salt/pepper is that they dissolve the salt and pepper in water, and give the astronauts little bottles of that. Seasons the food in a way that doesn't have lots of little particles floating around.
I think this is a function of manned vs unmanned more than anything else. The acceptable margin of error is orders of magnitude less when there are people on board, so any little concern becomes the object of great scrutiny.
The Immaculate Conception is Mary's (Jesus' mother) conception. Catholics and Orthodox believe that she was conceived in the normal way, but God gave her a special grace to be conceived immaculately, that is without sin. Jesus' conception is known as the Incarnation, since that was God becoming Man. I know that this has nothing to do with the article, but it is so often confused and so rarely clarified, I had to speak up.
Not to mention the fact that the Shuttle doesn't have the thrust necessary to put it into Geosync... heck, it can't even make it to GTO. VERY out of reach.
Thanks - I totally embarrassed myself reading this and busing out laughing during the middle of my physics lecture. I guess that is what I get for reading/. in class...
Exploration of the next horizon is part of being human. To stop exploring would be to deny something that is fundamental to who we are. The principle of utility is a horrible metric when the objective is poorly understood....
For a long time, art made no sense to me, seemed like a waste of time, but it is an expression of human creativity and a reaching for beauty. Unless you care about seeking beauty, art doesn't make sense. Unless you care about seeking the truth of the universe, space exploration doesn't make sense.
So, the question I would pose to the grandparent is what happened to make you lose interest in exploration? Have you never been curious about what is over the next hill that you haven't seen? Because really, that is what this is all about.
Well, subjective evidence for you would be enough for me for this. On the objective level, watch for a rose on the 9th day (February 9th). I don't know how much TV you watch, or how much you listen to music, but be attentive to a desire for silence.
As a Catholic - and a strong supporter of the Church - I tell you that you have the liberty to listen to or ignore whomever you wish. However, if you limit the people you listen to to just yourself, it won't take long before the only person who listens to you is just yourself. You're free to be your own master, but no master is a master without a slave, and your quest for self-mastery will only make you a slave to yourself.
in this case, the "ist" is HUGE. Fundamental Theology is the project of showing the historicity and credibility of Jesus Christ as the fullness of the revelation of the Father in the modern world. That means he knows a lot about the Church, what she teaches and who taught her, but also, it means that he knows a great deal about the modern world.
Fundamentalist Theology amounts to Bible thumping...
how about he simply shuts up about stuff he doesn't know about? And this applies to what percentage of/. posts?
By the way, he *is* an expert in ethics. He has a complete philosophical training as well, AND he is surrounded by those who know biology better than I would bet either of us do.
There are constant rebellions in the Church. In a Church which has stated over and over again its Pro-Life stance, organizations like this exist. Groups have been breaking off since the beginning, starting with Judas and continuing through the latest schism from Rome, The Society of St. Pious X. I personally have watched people leave the Church. We do have constant rebellion, is this a sign of a free choice?
Now, you speak of manipulation. What would I manipulate people to do? I'm no deviant (though I have been called that by strangers who have seen me walking around in my collar), so that wouldn't be it. My job is to be obedient, not to the whims of some person who is out for personal gain, but to The Persons who created me.
Then again, it is entirely possible (at least in how I see you seeing things) that I have been brainwashed to be a part of one of the largest (if not the largest) and oldest not-for-profit charitable works organization in the world. I might have been assimilated into a group that I will now try to assimilate others into for the sake of... taking care of each other, or what? Show me someone who had as profoundly positive impact on the world as Blessed Mother Theresa AND didn't start with lots of their own money and some measure of a guilty conscience to get them started.
Sin is what leads to Death (not physical, but spiritual) and confirmation strengthens the Holy Spirit's gift given in Baptism. Sin, as a violation of God's law, the law of Love, always hurts me when I do it, and it hurts those around me when they do it. Confirmation (since you received the sacrament) has enabled you to be a witness to love in some way greater than you would otherwise.
If you would like to conduct a little experiment, we can. I'll pray for you over the next nine days, and all you have to do is be apathetic toward it, neither rejecting of it, nor expressly accepting it. Never know... something might happen. Anyway, I won't unless you agree. After all, this is how it might be verifiable (or deniable) for you.
Sex feels good because that is how it is made. I know you won't agree with me, and that you will say that this can't be qualified, but sex is the *best* amongst married couples who didn't start until they were married.
I don't believe in glorifying suffering either, but suffering is part of the human experience (since we're fragile, vulnerable creatures). As a step in a most glorious process, it might seem overly glorified, but "I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us." (Romans 8:18)
There aren't any women in the seminary, but we do have a religious sister (liturgy professor) who has a PhD in plant genetics and agronomy who will be joining us... I should have used more gender inclusive language because she is a part of it.
Well, as I see it, hatred or forgiveness are the only two possibilities after such a painful experience. Hatred doesn't do any good (as far as I can tell) and that only leaves forgiveness. Now, I'm not talking about wimpy forgiveness here, I am talking about recognizing the wrong, suffering through it, and all the while seeking to give of self (in as much as is possible) for the good of the one who caused the suffering.
Thank you:) Please God, I will be called Father in three and a half years. Seeing the other men in the seminary, God is calling us from all over the spectrum. Next fall, we will be getting a science club going, and in a group of about 70 men, all the major disciplines are covered, and there are more than a couple highly specialized guys, the most interesting of which is a guy who did cutting edge research in genetics a few years ago.
yeah, we do embrace suffering. It is often wrapped in the pious language of "embrace your cross", and that is exactly what it means. I have spent a great deal of time figuring out what makes me different than the people who flew planes into the World Trade Center, because like them, I am zealous, young and idealistic. The difference is that I will embrace any suffering that comes my way, and I will encourage those around me to do the same, but I won't seek to cause suffering in others to achieve my aims. Your email may or may not be telling, but to suffer and love anyway (which is what mercy is) sounds pretty revolutionary in the fallen world we live in. Neitzche's will to power is vastly different than laying one's life down for a friend.
Following in the footsteps of John Paul II, for the injustices perpetrated by members of the Church in the past, I beg forgiveness.
Our rights are whatever we can defend, or convince society to help us uphold. Nothing more, nothing less. That sounds an awful lot like Nietzsche's Will to Power, which is what caused the Holocaust.
There does not need to be an uncreated creator. Yes, there does. Your existence (and mine as well) is contingent, which means that it is based on something else. You do bring up a good point though, that an uncreated universe is just as plausible as an uncreated creator. However, in order for that to be the case, there would have to be a great deal more unity of being in the universe, AND the universe would have to be sufficient to explain itself. Last time I checked, no cosmologist of reputation is willing to talk about before the big bang. Anyway, restating my point won't convince you, but it does make me feel better. Thanks for listening.
Don't talk to me about suffering like that. You've never really suffered, have you? I dare you to go to someone who's just, say, lost a child and tell them that. When a very close friend of mine committed suicide in High School, and his death was in part the result of his father giving him a medication he *really* didn't need, I spent a great deal of time with his mother and step-father, and I urged exactly that.

no no... there is still STS-135 that will launch in... late June, maybe early July.

At least this time... earlier it was a hydrazine leak.

Poor Mexico, so far from God and so close to the United States.
Espero que la gente de los Estados Unidos no son tan mal como este :)
Just my two cents to add...

Who is man to tell God what He ought and ought not do?

Since the joke appears to be lost... Abraham is the father of the Jewish nation, and you *do* see Jews walking around New York.
