I used to have one on my Jeep that said, "If I had wanted a Hummer I'd have asked your sister"

Just how dead were they? Road kill from three weeks ago or resuscitated after a few seconds of not breathing?

Whoa! Oil spills, maybe i should a collected those pamphlets so I'd know when it's time to party like it's 1999 or maybe 2012

Sadly scholars are not the people in pulpits asserting the end times as described in the bible are coming true, I've heard many of the things in revelations being claimed as proof of our us living in The End Times. The assertion of The End Times is one of the most often repeated threats used to keep the flock into line, little kids seem to be most terrified by these claims. There used to be a large series of small pamphlets that were passed out by fundamentalist religious groups making claims about the end of the world being near as described in Revelations but the idea of global warming being aligned with Revelations of 16:8 doesn't seem to be as popular as the rest of Revelations semi quoted in the little pamphlets often left in restrooms across the country, the idea of our civilization being destroyed by revelations 16:8 doesn't seem to come up while other somewhat less obvious ones often do...

Is Revelations 16:8 a prediction by the Bible of global warming?

I genuinely hope that you can understand that if you have a friend who is gay the best thing you can do for him is be his friend. Being gay cannot be fixed, be his friend treat him like you would any other friend, support him when everyone else is rejecting him and to put it simply "Be a friend", not a judge of his behavior. Being gay cannot be fixed any more than being heterosexual can be fixed but you can hurt him terribly by trying to fix him....

What do you mean animals only? Animals evolved form simpler organisms, why the perceived disconnect?

I think about loosing weight a lot, usually while I'm drinking a beer and eating chips.... But this might help... http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2001/JacquelineLing.shtml http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2001/JacquelineLing.shtml Hey! Why can't i use brackets any more?

Here in the South Eastern USA I see a lot of cars that would almost fall apart with out their stickers, a couple of my favs KILL YOUR TELEVISION! and of course "My kid just kicked the crap out of your honor student"

I am rereading "Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert M. Pirsig. I had forgotten how much liked it, it's one of my favs for sure..

I think it's more like knowledge is spreading rather than intelligence. I think in some limited ways animals can get ideas for tools from watching us, I don't expect to see a non tool using animal suddenly show up with a birch bark canoe but in the wild elephants will break off limbs and use them that way. I saw it on a nature show is the best I can do as proof.... but it seems quite reasonable so using a stick is not unnatural fro an elephant... Yes there are many extinct species that used tools, some of them were quite advanced as stone age tools go but they are all hominids. I think it's possible that some bits of knowledge by mimicry might cross over but only to the ability of the animal to use this, far too little time has passed for animals to do much more than use the brains the have now, growing bigger ones seems unlikely on a wide scale for sure....

No, the brain surgeon should be more knowledgeable about the brain and how to fix it but the Car mechanic should be more knowledgeable about cars and how to repair them. I see no reason one should be more intelligent than the other...

I think the idea that society expects you to raise your children responsively is a joke, The West Burro Baptist Church is a prime example, as are most illicit drug control laws. This is just another attempt to appear to be responsible while actually doing nothing....

The reality of this is that the further you go outside any scientists area of expertise the further you get away from their opinion being any better than anyone else who has no special knowledge of that particular subject. So it makes sense that 65% of all scientists might disagree with evolution but scientists who's expertise actually include the subject of evolution go closer to 99% It's like asking a brain surgeon what the funny noise is under the hood of my car and thinking his opinion is as good as the opinion of the mechanic who specializes in that particular car.... BTW anyone who thinks that creationists are less than respected here should go to a creationist site and try to assert science... good luck with that....

Ummm because no one alive knows what Muhammad looked like? No one is allowed to even speculate so no shower curtain mold Muhammad's?

Atoms have seven layers? The earth has seven layers? Or does the earth have seven major layers? The earth could have many distinct layers like an onion. Your whole perception of reality is going to change if one more layer is found? This makes no more sense than any other religion that tries to assert reality by cherry picking science data. How about the Earth's atmosphere? The atmosphere is distinctly part of the earth and consists of several layers as well, the layers are just arbitrary measurements for convenience. Where do the 7 layers of heaven come in? Seven is not some sort of magical number and I am sure that Mohammad was just using the mystical symbols he was familiar with.... Oh yeah, how about the inner inner core? And then there is the Mohorovic disconuity....

The creatures with the largest genome also happen to the be creatures who are under the most attack by viruses. The amoeba are under constant attack by viruses and continuously take in and emit large amounts of viral material. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091230113210.htm

I think it's interesting to think of what ifs like this, so what if there was a planet with complex life orbiting both stars? Can you imagine the incentive we would have for space travel if a habitable planet existed no further away than Saturn? The Centauri system is very interesting both from real and imaginary stand points...

Well then I hope for 68 and I won't have owe her one....

Are you talking about the 7 deadly sins or the ten commandments? I'm not sure I know them all in order....

Not exactly... Probably closer to 6 and 9 if I remember correctly....

I was rather hoping to die while committing a sin, actually a rather specific sin but that's not important....

Because we have no logical alternative? What other alternatives also also allow what we see in nature to be true? Again I'll ask what other alternative is there? What evidence do you have for this alternative? Can you give any reason to suppose there is recent origin for any species? What species would that be and what is your evidence for this recent origin?

Here is a u-tube video of my paddlefish I think I need some help here guys and gals....

Have you ever been at the beach when seagulls were feeding and flying all around? If you listen, you can often hear words, even short phrases, in the almost white noise of their squawking. It's just your brain hooking random noises together into something familar....
