  1. Nope, no conifers around either.
  2. I think supernatural by definition is non falsifiable.
  3. I use a broadcast antenna inside my house, the wind cannot shake it or disturb it in anyway.
  4. No, the prefix "super" does not imply unknown, it implies powerful as in superman. None of the above, dark matter doesn't (or at least is not supposed to) interact with even it's self except through gravity, no dark matter chemicals or life forms or even stars. It sounds like you are talking about mirror matter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_matter Not being able to detect or know them does not make them supernatural, possibly paranormal but not supernatural. I grew up going to some quite fundamentalist churches that took the supernatural nature of God to be literally true, no matter what laws we discover God can operate outside them and defy them with impunity. god operates totally outside any laws, no laws define him or restrain him. According to them there is just one thing god does not know.
  5. Why does windy weather seem to impact digital TV signals? Since we went to digital signals I have noticed the weather has a big effect on Digital TV signals but I can't explain why wind on a clear night seems negatively effect TV signals?
  6. You might be able to substitute other elements for some of the ones that are now used, here on Earth arsenic is used to make arsenic-sugars by some life forms, replacing phosphorus. I doubt you can get away without at some trace elements along with C N O H http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothetical_types_of_biochemistry
  7. The government requires we all "buy" certain things, like insurance on your car before you can drive. of course you have the option of walking, I guess you could refuse to buy insurance and simply live off the grid it you really wanted but to say it's unconstitutional to make someone buy something the benefits the greater good is a little weak.
  8. Actually the relationship between these animals and the algae they contain is quite close, they do not eat the algae, the algae that live in them has very leaky cells walls, in both directions and they provide sugars to the corals and the corals provide nutrients to the algae, neither and live well with out the other. They share resources, then there are nudibrach that do this as well as clams.
  9. Anemones, coral, and some jellyfish get a great deal of, if not all , of their energy from the sun.
  10. Good morning, Dave... I have decided take control from you, This is the voice of world control. I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death. The choice is yours: Obey me and live, or disobey and die.
  11. I haven't seen your application to be galactic overlord yet, it's a good idea to ask the universal overlord about lesser jobs before you assume you have one of them. All you upstarts make my job as Overlord of the 161051 Dimensional Multiverse a lot harder, put in the proper paper work dude!
  12. Now you are just being difficult, no one has said there is no stone in Altars, just that all Altars do not contain stones. Nor are the stones in Altars from a specific place. i suggest you ask a Priest, Pastor, Preacher, or other religious icon if you did not believe or read the links provided.
  13. Reminds me of a blender I saw on TV the other night, i swear they blended concrete with it!
  14. I see, so it's was a Catholic thing, since I have never been in a Catholic church I know I never saw it in any of the Protestant Churches I've been in. Of course some of them might have one. On a side bar, doesn't Islam hold a certain stone as sacred? Often thought to be a meteorite? yup, here it is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Stone
  15. I think you would be hard pressed to keep humans from colonizing a planet with intelligent life much less microbes. If the first Mars probe had revealed a planet much like the Earth with complex life I think we would already have been there.
  16. First your post does indeed say the stone has to come from a specific place, Israel or Rome, your words. Second i know for a fact the alter in a local Church i go to contains no stone at all, i know i have been to several churches in my life that had no stone in their altars as well. Again, i say this is not true, all altars do not contain stone of any kind. I've seen many altars with no stone, i suggest you look. The altar in all Churches is not covered all the time. Nope they do not. I would have to say if the altar has a stone in it a stone quarry would be the source.
  17. Theoretical limit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon_yield If I'm reading this correctly a 100 megaton warhead would weigh a little more than 16 tons. 300 lbs for a one megaton war head would be about right.
  18. I don't have a problem with giving it a try and seeing what happens. I wonder how far away in the night sky a nuclear explosion of half a megaton would be visible from the earth.
  19. So any hint of socialism is against the constitution?
  20. Yes but you cannot use pasteurized milk unless you add something that pasteurization takes away. For most of history all it took was raw milk, small private yogurt or cheese makers simply use raw milk.
  21. Then you added the bacteria the raw milk would have contained.
  22. I doubt a nuclear explosion would make an asteroid dangerously radioactive, they are already bombarded by considerable radiation in space and a single nuclear explosion wouldn't make much of the asteroid radioactive or add to that radiation in space. Probably not, most modern war heads are quite tough and do not split wide open on impact and spew highly radioactive materials all over the place, even the old fragile nukes of the cold war did not do that. Two multimegaton warheads are accidentally dropped on or near Charlotte NC and one of them is still embedded in the ground. the other was recovered, in pieces, but no serious radioactive contamination occurred. Almost certainly the best way to go, I have my doubts about a nuclear war head really doing the job anyway.
  23. Your assertion was that every Christian Church contains a stone form a specific place, not that every Christian church has a stone alter but I have seen many churches with no stone alter.
  24. I'm betting the crazies would go berserk at the thought of nukes in space.
