SamBridge Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 +1. That's going on a bumper sticker. It was a multitude of factors. It wasn't from a meteor shockwave alone, the meteor combined with many volcanic eruptions created atmospheric conditions which made many ecosystems collapse and also lessened the amount of sunlight from dust in the air. Many plants died, so food chains collapsed, taking the dinosaurs with it. Some species were more adapted to survive cold, or live underground, or store food for longer periods of time, those animals survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mellinia Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/69602-objective-of-nasa-space-programme-to-create-jobs-only/ some guy did ask a similar question before though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingToPonder Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 "why is nasa more important than feeding starving people?" I have heard this question a lot lately. (with the implication that nasa funding should spent on something elses like humanatarian aid but I have heard other variations such as sugesting the us should focus on its infustructure instead of having its head in the clouds) it is hard to try to explain that advanseing technology will help everyone... what are good argeuemtns for spending on nasa as oposed to giving it to starving people somewhere or on schools etc? In my opinion it's a lot of rubbish. The amount of money donated to charities for food for starving people combined with the programs that help starving people vastly outweighs any money nasa receives. anybody who says otherwise has not really looked at the numbers. Look how much was made at ;live aid a few years back, compare that alone to the nasa budget for the same year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krash661 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 "why is nasa more important than feeding starving people?" simple, humanities survival (expanding as population grow, evolving and partly decreasing resources)is far more important than someone who is not productive in society,finances or anything except a burden on society as a whole. nasa is very important for this to occur. some say if this is not done, humanity will not survive.it would destroy it's self. it's about humanity as a whole rather than an individual(s). once you evolve your self to higher levels of your mentality with understanding, things like this will be obvious.

Moontanman Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 It should be noted that the vast majority of money given to help the poor is filtered through religious charities which use the lions share of it to build churches, pay for vast estates for their pastors or priests and proselytizing, quite a bit of the money never filters down to the poor it was donated to... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things. First, there are many people who are considered "starving" that are also considered "productive". I'm offended you might consider these people "a burden". Not everyone has the same set of circumstances in life, but that doesn't mean they don't contribute to society as a whole. Second, I think it's very important for science-minded folks not to misuse terms like "evolve". Your first use of "evolving" was fine, your second, well, not so much. A person doesn't evolve, evolution takes place only among populations over time. Also, there are no "higher levels" of evolution. Just sayin'.

krash661 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) umm ok. and second, " A person doesn't evolve, evolution takes place only among populations over time.Also, there are no "higher levels" of evolution.", think about this. weird. " Second, I think it's very important for science-minded folks not to misuse terms like "evolve".

Phi for All Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 If you aren't referring to the process of evolution, then I misinterpreted. It just seemed like you were referring to evolution the first time, but not the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krash661 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 and also, i should have put in there " ( as it's seen by majority) ", for the offensive remark. that is not my view. I apologize for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
