  1. Is the US space program being stabbed in the Back? Howard Bloom thinks so and the Chinese are taking advantage it!

  3. If the ancient aliens claims drive you nuts then this might be for you!
  4. One of my favs which hasn't been mentioned is Isaac Arthur.
  5. Technological machines like trucks do not reproduce with variation. They do not descend from anything... You face it, the idea that life forms are machines is just an analogy and like all analogies it breaks down if you take it too far... The first life forms are gone, we have no examples of them, protists are not comparable to the first life forms. Protists are vastly more complex than bacteria and bacteria are extremely complex as well. I'm going to risk a neg vote here and post this for you. Watch it and get back to me when you have a minimal clue about how evolution and abiogenesis works.. #3 is the one about abiogenesis: I would like for you to show evolution is a mathematical impossibility, in fact recent calculations indicate that life is an inevitable result of the laws of physics. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-new-physics-theory-of-life/
  6. Neither but both do at some point have a common ancestor, probably back in the triassic or jurassic
  7. I apologize, I got the author wrong! It was Harry Turtledove! I love the novels by Goodkind as well, the Richard and Kahlan novels great but I saw the TV series first on those... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldwar_series
  8. I am beginning a reread of the world war series by Terry Goodkind....
  9. The evidence is in the fossil record and the genetic record. What we call complex life started less than one billion years ago. Here is a link to explain the basic domains of life. The further back in time you go the simpler organisms get and the more they resemble each other until you get to the point of a single celled organism. Beyond eukaryotes in the past evolution as we see it in complex life breaks down due to gene sharing and identifying the bacteria that is the UCA becomes impossible. One thing to remember is that what we call simple life (ie bacteria) are not really simple. Bacteria are extremely complex and bear little resemblance to what is thought to have been the first living cells. I would be careful using the assertion of "historical truth" Science does not look for truth. Methodological naturalism is based on evidence but that evidence can never be complete "truth" due to deep time. All we can do is find the most likely path evolution took. If you are truly curious I can direct you to some really great videos explaining this in detail but in a nutshell "absolute truth" cannot always be found and the further back in time you go the less absolute things become.
  10. Check the 6 string bass that girl plays! Makes cold chills run all over me!
  11. Whis is this us you speak of? Sorry I quoted the wrong person!
  12. And what is this us he speaks of?
  13. Citation please ..And you know that how? Citation please. Citation please. Seriously dude, are we supposed just take your word?
