Actually, I once heard about 50% of faecal mass is actually of bacteria.
Bacteria break down the contents in our guts and reproduce. The make cell walls, membranes, DNA, organelles etc. with the energy taken from food inside our gut. They generate heat (obviously) and create new molecules. Many of these bacteria will end up being flushed down the toilet with undigested food, breakdown products of haemoglobin, fibre, etc.
but your lifestyle of sitting in a chair all day at the office, then going home and sitting on a different chair until bed while eating a whopper probably made a huge difference.
That's it. I'm turning off Google Latitude. I'm sick of you stalking me!
Do you believe in Buddha too? And the Ghost of Christmas Past? The Easter Bunny? What about Thor? And how could I forget, Him, and his noodly appendage, The Flying Spaghetti Monster!
Because your "argument" applies equally to them.
I don't care about Julius Caesar, I don't care about the evidence of that. It never really interested me. I'm not going to argue about evidence for his existence. But your mind seems twisted. I assume it must be to believe in this "God" of yours.
My girlfriend was doing promo work for Blackberry during a large sporting event (Rugby World Cup). I don't know what blackberry targeted that audience, but no-one knew what a Blackberry was, and everyone said "oh, it's like an iPhone". She wasn't allowed to mention the iPhone to explain what it was.
I'm not sure how many times people will have to tell you this, but atheists believe in what there is evidence for. If there was any evidence of a god, then I'd believe in him. I believe in electromagnetic radiation, I'm sure we don't understand it completely (i.e. what it's 'made' of, we know a lot about how it works), but there's evidence for it.
I even give others the benefit of the doubt. There's not that much evidence that Jesus existed, but I give Christians the benefit of the doubt, and feel he may have existed.
There is absolutely zero evidence that gods exists. Nothing. Nothing at all that even suggests this. Most of the data about what God is meant to do (save lives, help people win reality TV shows, cure the sick, watch us masturbate, make the world in 6 days) indicates that he doesn't do any of these things. So what's the fucking point in believing in a god that does absolutely nothing?! And when looked at objectively doesn't even exist!?
Take the blinders off. Life will be a lot better if you stopped believing in that nasty iron-age fairy tale. And that very least it means you'll be able to stop sounding like an idiot trying to justify DNA similarities, fossils, cosmic background radiation, astronomy, etc, etc etc.
It's possible to imagine that. It's also possible to imagine a magical bearded man camed and planted them, and Noah saved them on a boat. It's possible to imagine an alien species with the same sort of DNA as us, and same mitochondria.
It's just one FUCK of a lot more likely that they evolved here on earth!!
Some DNA codes for proteins. Some DNA doesn't code for proteins, but regulates expression of other parts of the DNA. Some DNA has other functions, (e.g to do with mitosis, RNAs etc.) Some DNA has no function, and is just there because there is no selection pressure to remove it - this can be called junk DNA.
Sorry to tell you this. But Jesus doesn't exist. He might have existed once, but he was never the son of God.
When you die, you'll be in the same boat as us atheists. You'll have no awareness, and your corpse will eventually disintegrate. There is no heaven. There is no hell.
The thing is, it most likely was a virus initially. The runny nose, cough, fever, that's the virus.
It might well have turned into a bacterial pneumonia after that. It might also have just been a viral pneumonia.
The important thing is actually how well the child is. If they've got a patch of small pneumonia which might have showed up on x-ray, and they get better by themselves there's no harm done. More harm if they had the (albeit low) radiation from a CXR and then strong antibiotics.
If the kids still feeding well, and they're not short-of-breath and breathing at really rapid rate with indrawing, let them be. If they get worse, take them back and get treated.
BTW the best way to check for pneumonia in the 3rd world is actually just having a clock and counting the number of breaths per second.
Bullshit. You don't know how space-time works, and no one on this planet knows how space-time works. We humans don't even understand how gravity works.
I know right. And then there's those fucking magnets...!!

I don't get it either. Are you able to explain?
"Plus all the ice above the water..."
How is that funny?
True. I wonder what the obesity levels are like in Mexico.
It might just be snobbery.

Obviously the bacteria turn the energy into heat and chemical bonds.
Bacteria need to live and reproduce. That reproduction (and mere living) uses energy. Where do you think they get this energy from? Magic?

Everyone I know (excluding nerds) prefers Windows to Linux. I quite like Windows 7 myself.
I haven't used linux in years.
People can say whatever they want. It doesn't need to be meaningful. Who the hell are you to dictate what people are allowed to say?

Are you Chris Brown?
Sadly, the guy downloading a copy of Rihanna's songs gets more punishment than the guy who beat the shit out of her.
It's possible to imagine that. It's also possible to imagine a magical bearded man camed and planted them, and Noah saved them on a boat. It's possible to imagine an alien species with the same sort of DNA as us, and same mitochondria.

And then they get "sync'd"?
Now imagine that with 14 million women and poor sanitation.
No, the phone does do that, but not as well. Just like Siri does respond to voice commands as depicted, but not as well.
"I thought you said you'd make me come all night with your 8 incher?"
"I came once, and it's 3 inches. I did what I said I would, but not as well."
You can say that all the evidence points to FTL being impossible.

Gates is a good guy when it comes to charity. What the hell have you done? Posted nasty comments on Slashdot?
Gates deserves much more credit than that greedy turtle-necked scumbag Steve Jobs.

FTL is not possible. Period.
There were once a lot of really smart people that said sailing around the earth was impossible too, and they proved it -- because the earth was flat.
They were not smart people. They were religious people.
