There are 8.7 million species of ANIMALS ALONE, did Noah fit all 17.4 million animals up his ass? Not to mention the other four kingdoms Plantae, Fungi, Protoctista, and Prokaryota/Monera

Not to mention the 300 species of dogs that have evolved since noah's time.  How does the weak minded bitchick explain those?

It gets even better, since we're doing such a great job of killing the planet the extinction rate is much higher than previously thought, so 4-5000 years ago there was even greater biodiversity.

What do you mean about no proof that the flood happened?  The fact that trees only date back 4000 years proves something must have caused all the trees to die at that point?  It is estimated that the Flood began approximately 4,359 years ago in the year 1656 AM or 2348 BC.  The fact that there are no trees older than this brings great validity to a world wide flood.  Also, there are over 200 (I have even heard over 300) flood stories from different cultures around the world.  Here is a link to read more: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/flood-myths.html  The fact that there are stories with similarities in all these cultures that did not speak to each other should cause at least someone to think that there is validity to it. Also, there are fossils of sea creatures in the middle of Kansas and in the Himilayas. How would sea creatures be at these locations without a flood?  Also, if we look at the number of people on the earth there had to be a catastrophic event that happened about 4000 to 4500 years ago too because the population of the earth at the rate of growth per year coincides with this time.

Ah, we have another brainwashed idiot who spreads the opinion of her priest instead of her own.   Roll Eyes

Look forward to dealing with this fool in the future like I've dealt with her fellow cult members.  

Jesus tap dancing christ...I didn't think anyone actually still believed in the flood...

Used Windows then 'evolved' into using free software so I switched to Linux - tryed many of mainstream distribution as OpenSuse, Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, but ended with great Linux mint - mainly because Gnome 3 sucks for desktops and they were first to develop something similiar to Gnome 2 - called Mate. I recommend this distribution to everyone.

I've been on mint with cinnamon for 3 months now and I'm never going back to windows. even the gf is using mint with mate on her laptop and she's about as computer illiterate as they come

everything just works right away and installing programs is as simple as googling "skype linux" and typing a few commands

Lets all freak the fuck out, you should see the comments on cbc and the national post calling for muslim internment camps, imprisonment on suspicion alone. The media is doing its best to sir the pot. Toronto sun has already declared them "homegrown terrorists" with no details release yet.

I feel pretty secure if our terrorists have to resort to hit and run with a car and a rifle.

I use a safety razor.  I use hot water (no shaving cream, soap, gel or foam).  Thanks to Jeffrey Tucker's rant against the great shaving cream scam I am free from that awful product.  http://mises.org/daily/4043/The-Sh aving-Cream-Racket 

Thanks for the link.

I personally stay away from foam - I've been using soap instead but will at some point try and use only water.

I've heard of people shaving with cold water (the soldiers who fought in WWI had no choice) without issue so it must be possible.


Hair conditioner works really well, it doesnt lather.

What I find the most ironic is that in absolute terms would you chose the human body as the plateform for integration with silicon? Personally velocy raptor or some kind of squid... I mean not a human body... uncreative fools. Organic matter is quite performing, but lack in durability compared to inorganic matter...

There's so much we can accomplish with the aid of wearable technology, I can know the year Germany became independent within seconds and without needing my hands or feet (Google Voice).

There is a massive difference between wearable technology, of which an iphone in your pocket can be classified as, and implanting id/tracking/access keys.

I was pulled over on my bicycle riding to work once for no reason. I had front/rear lights, reflectors, helmet, riding in the bike lane with no traffic. The cop wanted my drivers license. He pulled me over solely to check my ID. I threw a fit and told him I don't need a license to ride a bike and I don't live in a country that requires me to carry id.

Let me reiterate, he didn't ask me to identify myself, he wanted my drivers license explicitly. He didn't ask any other questions, like where am I going, what am I doing. He just kept saying it was 'funny' to be riding  bike at 6am on a saturday. The packed lunch and work paper weren't evidence enough as if I am even required to justify my presence on a public road

I can just imagine them driving around and plotting my position based on the rfid chip in my ass.

Usually I get a a few shaving kits ever christmas and just rotate. I'm using a shick hydro 5 right now, its much smoother than a more expensive gillete. I just use soap maybe every other day and I leave my blades in alcohol, they last a lot longer. I probably go through 1 blade a month with the gf also sharing it.

I will quote some math from that page; below are some axioms, both mathematical and philosophical.

Please say nice things or ask good questions; otherwise you Let the crucifixion of the messengers cointinue.

Quote from: Osho
[K]nowledge that is not your own is dangerous, more dangerous than ignorance, because it is a hidden ignorance, and you will not be able to see that you are deceiving yourself. You are carrying false coins and thinking that you are a rich man. Sooner or later your poverty will be revealed. Then you will be shocked.

Quote from: Osho
I never suspect for a single moment their good intentions. Whatever these people are doing, they are doing with good intentions; but the questions is not of good intentions, the question is: What is the result?
"You may murder me with good intentions, but your good intentions cannot justify my murder.

Quote from: Osho
They have no awareness of a different dimension of knowing, so whatever they are doing is done in deep sleep."

Quote from: Osho
First: knowledge is borrowed, realise this. The very realisation becomes a dropping of it.... Learning means being responsive to whatsoever is around you.... This is a great learning, but not knowledge.

Become the truth
There is no way to find truth — except through finding it. There is simply no way unless you are without any mind within you — because mind is like a breeze, continuously flowing, and the flame goes on wavering. When mind is not there, the breeze stops, and the flame becomes unmoving. When your consciousness is an unmoving flame, you know the truth. You have to learn how not to follow the mind.

Nobody can give you the truth, nobody, not even a Buddha, a Jesus, a Krishna.... It is beautiful that truth is not transferable in any way. Unless you reach it, you cannot reach. Unless you become it, you never have it.

Quote from: Kurt Gödel
"A set is a unity of which its elements are the constituents. It is a fundamental property of the mind to comprehend multitudes into unities. Sets are multitudes which are also unities. A multitude is the opposite of a unity. How can anything be both a multitude and a unity? Yet a set is just that. It is a seemingly contradictory fact that sets exist."

"To arrive at the totality of integers involves a jump. Overviewing it presupposes an infinite intuition. What is given is a psychological analysis. The point is whether it produces objective conviction."

"We do not analyze intuition to see a proof but by intuition we see something without a proof."

"Reason and understanding concern two levels of concept. Dialectics and feelings are involved in reason."

This is not math, or axioms.

Quote
noun
plural noun: axioms

    A statement or proposition that is regarded as being established, accepted, or self-evidently true. A statement or proposition on which an abstractly defined structure is based.

None of those statements are self evidently true, and I see no proof structure based on these quotes. These are not even quasi-statements, the truth value can never be determined.

Huh? The mathematical proof of God is the math that predicted the Higgs Boson. Now that we have found this elusive, little particle, just ask Steven Hawking what he calls it. The God particle. It'll be an interesting day if they ever find two of them at the same time. There probably is only ONE in the whole universe.

I don't see why wars would be any harder to start without a state. All it would need is the people with the most wealth and control over society to push others in that direction. Just like now.

I wasn't picking sides, just presenting another point of view.

That said, consider the magnitude of wars fought with state backing. I doubt there could have been a private funding or collaboration for the Manhattan project, icbm's, or other tools of global extinction. Only recently have private citizens been successful at launching spacecraft, based on 80+ years of state funded r&d.

Historically large advances in military hardware have required the backing of a state or city state. Standing armies have also historically been either state funded or a form of slavery. There are instances or private armies challenging state powers, of which they became the state themselves. The war of the roses for example.

I think the most central issue these days is fiat funded, unending wars. Eventually a private army would run out of money, this isn't an issue for a state with a central bank, or particularly the world reserve currency.

No math  Sad you fail as well.
Get on your feet; it's time to do some math!

Quotes from a brilliant mathematician, and related:

Quote from: Kurt Gödel
This blindness (or prejudice, or whatever you may call it) of logicians is indeed surprising. But I think the explanation is not hard to find. It lies in a widespread lack, at that time, of the required epistemological attitude toward metamathematics and toward non-finitary reasoning. …

[M]y objectivistic conception of mathematics and metamathematics in general, and of transfinite reasoning in particular, was fundamental also to my other work in logic.

How indeed could one think of expressing metamathematics in the mathematical systems themselves, if the latter are considered to consist of meaningless symbols which acquire some substitute of meaning only through metamathematics? [emphasis his] [8–9]

How can one expect to solve mathematical problems by mere analysis of the concepts occurring, if our analysis so far does not even suffice to set up the axioms? [110]

What I call the theological worldview is the idea that the world and everything in it has meaning and reason, and in particular a good and indubitable meaning. It follows immediately that our worldly existence, since it has in itself at most a very dubious meaning, can only be means to the end of another existence. The idea that everything in the world has a meaning [reason] is an exact analogue of the principle that everything has a cause, on which rests all of science. [217]
http://kevincarmody.com/math/goedel.html

I don't see a single equation, axiom, definition, or proof in this quote or the website linked.

Quote
Philosophy as an exact theory should do for metaphysics as much as Newton did for physics. I think it is perfectly possible that the development of such a philosophical theory will take place within the next hundred years or even sooner [7.3.6; portion misquoted, corrected p. 288, 332]

Newtonian physics is wrong, this quote has turned out to be wrong.

Quote
I don’t think the brain came in the Darwinian manner. In fact, it is disprovable. Simple mechanism can’t yield the brain. I think the basic elements of the universe are simple. Life force is a primitive element of the universe and it obeys certain laws of action. These laws are not simple, and they are not mechanical. [6.2.12]

Most of his musings have turned out to be false with the passage of time and advancement in the physical sciences.

Here is one the OP should take to heart.
Quote
Intuition is not proof; it is the opposite of proof. We do not analyze intuition to see a proof but by intuition we see something without a proof. [9.2.46]

And again, this page has no math whatsoever. Quotes from a mathematician, who was wrong about a great many predictions, are not math.
