  1. I think you should learn to type proper English and how to explain your concepts a bit better. For instance: what the hell is full dive besides fully immersing yourself in water?
  2. Evolution like the universe doesn't have a sense since it is not conscious. It just happens.
  3. Look at the sun. Converts mass into light all the time.
  4. Why? You think mixing them will be toxic? It will only taste vile, that's all.
  5. http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/82701-news-frank-baker-survives-spontaneous-human-combustion/?hl=%2Bfrank+%2Bbaker Haven't we dealt with this issue already?
  6. Perhaps glucose pentaacetate isn the only product that forms. This reaction is called a condensation reaction. Perhaps you have no idea what you were doing. You might want to figure that out first.
  7. What you calculate with this (the rocket equation) is called the ΔV or change in velocity. Do not confuse this with acceleration as the latter is a change in velocity per time unit. I can directly add any quantity of ΔV to the velocity I already have, turning this in an addition of vectors. For example: I have a rocket with a ΔV of 1000 m/s. If I start at 0 m/s and burn all my fuel in one go in a single direction, I will end up going 1000 m/s. I can also burn my rocket for 500 m/s in one direction. Starting at 750 m/s, I will be going at 1250 m/s after this burn, then 500 m/s in the opposite direction to end back up traveling the same initial speed of 750 m/s. I can also make this a bit more complicated by burning at a certain angle from my initial velocity vector. If I am going at 500 m/s in the x direction, then burn 500 m/s in the y-direction, I will end up going 707 m/s in a direction 45 ° from my initial velocity vector.
  8. Neither. It's just that we all have some machinery in common like our senses, respiratory and digestive system. We also have the same general body shape.
  9. Study some basic physics and chemistry and see your tin-foil hat vanish into thin air.
  10. They are still school problems, are they not? Ergo. they are homework.
  11. Separate? Yes, but the oil wouldn't neccesarily form a single layer. It can just as easily remain suspended as droplets in the water.
  12. Do you also take into account the effect of all other orbital bodies? What you are calculating is definitely not a 2-body system.
  13. Point is that many people see evolution as some switch you flip and then magic happens. Obviously, that is not how it works...
  14. Where else would you like to pivot it on?
  15. If you had perpetual electricity like that, why not use that to directly feed the engine?
  16. And even monochromatic light is not really monochromatic. It's always a Gaussian centered around the most intense wavelength of the light emitted.
  17. Well the general structure of an aminoacid is H2N-CHR-COOH where R can be whatever you like and it would still be classed as an amino acid. So to answer your question in that regard: infinite.
  18. How anti-vaccination is California? Might be related... And let's not forget that our own body makes formaldehyde out of methanol which can easily be ingested from eating an apple.
  19. Imo, we are looking at the same thing from different angles. Science doesn't need belief or faith for it to 'work'. It does however need falsifiable theories and reproducible results. On the other hand, it doesn't forbid anyone to have their own way of explaining the world to themselves or others. Either side however should expect their viewpoints are challenged. In this case, don't be surprised if your entire repetoire on ID or creationism gets shredded to bits if you post it on a science forum. The moot point here is that it's hard for people from certain etnic groups to seperate themselves from their viewpoints and percieve attacks on those points as attacks on their person.
  20. Eh no, not really. You impose a consciousness to nature that isn't there nor does it force, invent or steer anything. Mutations just happen and those that increase your survivability long enough to get laid are passed on. If you are killed before you got laid, your mutation won't be passed on and as such wasn't 'fit' enough to survive. That's all what survival of the fittest really is. Survive long enough to get laid.
  21. Science neither need nor care for your faith in order to work. There is tangible, reproducible evidence out there; you were refered to several papers and even a movie (though the latter is not scientific evidence per se) which shows that irriducible complexity has been refuted several times and is therefore a faulty theory. That has nothing to do with the scope of this topic nor evolution. You are pulling something called a red herring here.
  22. Molecules to man has nothing to do with evolution. That's abiogenesis. Evolution has been observed in bacteria and virusses (one of the reasons why you can still get flu and why HIV is so damn hard to get rid of), "yes but those are microevolutions!" I hear you say. Sadly for you, that distinction doesn't exist. Just give it enough time, few dozens of million years will do the trick. Probably because neither side know what they are talking about.
  23. Thank you for wasting everyone else's. FYI, one can follow a discussion without actively participating in it. What I have seen from you, however, is soapboxing, playing the martyr and thinking you have the one and only truth. Ironically, that is quite a religious stance.
