Obviously, this is only one definition. It seems to be close to the long-standing definition regarding observation. The interesting part is this. Nowhere in the definition does it speak of things that have not been proven. It only talks about "facts."

For example. There is no scientific fact that the age of the earth is beyond about 4,500 years. There is a lot of evidence that suggests that the earth might be as old as 25,000 years. And there are interpretations that suggest that the earth is millions or billions of years old.

All the honest, capable scientists say it this way, either straight forward, or by disclaimer words like "if" and "maybe." The dishonest scientists suggest that they have proof. The fact is, there are too many evidences that the earth is a very young earth. And many of these evidences are the same ones that are used to suggest an old earth. It is mostly based on interpretation when you go beyond about 4,500 years, and all based on interpretation when you go beyond about 25,000 years.

So, why do so many school text books, so many "science" websites, multitudes of scientific papers, all suggest earth being millions or billions of years old? Because they didn't go to the trouble of saying "if" or "maybe" themselves. They simply said that they were basing their work on the work of someone who went before them. Or they suggest it is the accepted model of the universe, and they didn't check the truth of it out themselves.

This is NOT science. Not by the, above, definition. What this is, is, politics. It is propaganda. It is science in only ONE way. It is political science expressed. And it is presented in the smoothest, most cunning ways - simple, humble, straight-forward lies.

The science that is behind the engineered inventions is good and real science. In fact, it is the political propaganda science that is holding much technical progress back, progress that would have been made by engineers using good science that has been clouded by the propaganda.

Since the whole world seems to have this mixture of real science, and propaganda being touted as science, no wonder there are troubles within nations. It's time for us to wake up to this fact by examining the language of science, and then re-examining the science itself if necessary.

Personal belief doesn't make something in to a scientific reality.

Then there's the street people in the U.S. - a lot of them ex-military - and the homeless kids, and the people living in their cars because they lost their homes to a corrupt banking system, all who don't think about the Mars One project very much, because they are almost starving to death.

Science and God is a nobrainer. God created everything. Science has to do with the observation of everything. All the rest is interpretation.

Science is not interpretation. Science has to do with observation. Scientists who interpret God out of science simply haven observed enough, yet. Or else they are liars...

After 15 years, part-time, of dabbling, calculating, formulating, back-testing, etc., the Strategy in my first post, above ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=727301.msg8221050#msg8221050 ), produces the best results over the longest period of time, of anything I have seen. The key is the 10-pip Limit against the 90-pip Stop, with the multiplier added.

If you can find an honest broker who will let you do what I have listed there, you will win BIG if you don't get stupid about it.

Is that a 5k note barely peeking out of the bikini bottom of the gal on the left?

Going to Mars is always an interesting idea. And, you have to start somewhere. Personally I would rather most of the bugs were worked out before I did it.

I think that the fiat currencies will collapse, throwing the whole world into turmoil, before these people get going. But if it happens after we get some folks out there, they will probably be stranded, unless the 4 that are already out there, and the 4 replacements that are on the way, decide that they all are going to return together, once they hear of the collapse over the radio.

If we DO manage to get people on Mars, I seriously doubt that we will get a self-sustaining colony going before the collapse.

Any way, it'll be more dangerous, and harder work, than most of the group can imagine.

Especially if they are science-minded, and God-minded at the same time. They will, at least, have a chance to combine all kinds of truths that they would completely miss in a public school.

The foundation for getting a clear picture of this, has to do with understanding sound, and the nature of the universe. And the start of such understanding might be through what is written below.

All vibration is sound. Radio waves, and light waves, are sound. How can this be? It has to do with the universe being way more complex that anyone has dreamed.

Keep in mind parallel universes, side by side, in the MEGA-universe. Also, keep in mind that the words being used are so that the layman can get a picture. They are not for technical mathematics.

"Space" is an elastic solid. It is home for, possibly, an infinite number of "parallel universes, side by side," each one operating with its own "universal" vibration.

When you move something physical through a section of space, like waving your hand in the air, the individual sub-atomic particles that make up the individual atoms of your hand, are broken down and reassembled across multitudes of universes, causing reactions in all these universes. The actual sub-atomic particles are points - think of eddies in a pond, created by two or more waves crossing over each other - where the various parallel universes "touch" momentarily, all of this acting according to UNTOLD MULTITUDES of EXTREMELY COMPLEX universal laws.

Such things as light, sub-atomic particles that move through space, electromagnetic waves, are all simpler forms, similar to the complex ones listed in the previous paragraph. ALL vibrations through space - because space is an elastic solid - are, therefore, sound.

When you have a Being that is essentially, in His nature, from "outside of" our mega-universe (whatever that means), and One Who has the ability to cause vibrations in the "space" of our universe that might be compared with vibrations that people speak through the air - although the vibrations through the air are many magnitudes less complex than speaking through the elastic solid of space - you can start to see how the things of the universe were spoken into existence, as written in the first chapter of the Bible.

Oh, yeah. Forgot to mention. Bitcoin isn't the god of atheists. Atheists are their own god.

"Bitcoin" has two meanings:
1. Computer money - bit, as in byte, and money;
2. The hidden meaning - In the old days, gold was money. The way the average person tested to see if a coin was pure gold was to bite it. Gold is soft, and the teeth can make indentations in a pure gold coin. However, often a person accepting a gold coin as payment, didn't have to bite the coin. All he had to do was look at the number of bites on the coin to see how often the coin had changed hands, being there by authenticated. Hence, bit coin. The people, back then, who were at a disadvantage, often were the people who handled a lot of gunpowder routinely. Gunpowder efficacy was tested in the same way as gold coins. The difference was that gunpowder testers often lost their teeth doing gunpowder tests. This meant that they couldn't test to see if the gold coins were real. This was often why gunpowder testers would only accept well-used gold coins, ones that they didn't have to personally authenticate.

Bangladesh is a common law nation. This means that the people are the law.

You said that you are serious. Make an appointment with her when you both have 2 to 3 hours to spend together. Show her your written down list of marriage points, points that are what you expect of yourself, what you expect of her, what you will abide by according to your local Bangladesh area tradition. Make an appointment so that she can respond with her list after looking at yours.

You said August 15. This deadline has come and gone. If it is not finished already, tell her that you want to finish it at your next meeting, one way or the other. After all, you can't spend your whole life (and hers) simply waiting around. At the next meeting, both of you will set the marriage date, or you will separate forever. If you separate, make it final by finding another woman.

Besides, it seems that your goal in life is the looking. If you received other good things, you wouldn't find as much gratification in your goal of looking for them. So you won't receive these other good things, just so that you can continue to receive your goal, which is to constantly look for them.

Actually, all these things are interpretations of certain kinds of evidence. Since we don't know how the evidence was "deposited" there, because we weren't there to observe it, we don't know if we are interpreting it correctly.

While the Bible leaves some of its areas open to interpretation, it is also a book of records, where people recorded what they observed.

Examine the Bible the same way you examine all science, and you will find that the Bible outdoes everything else in all areas of accuracy.

Sorry for being unclear. The point that I was trying to make is that ALL dating beyond 4,500 years ago, or so, is base on "if" one way or another. "If" isn't fact. "If" is guesswork.

Want proof that the Bible is true? Google "proof of the bible" or some other such words. Examine the resulting sites, and you will find all kinds of evidence that outweighs all the Evolution evidence many times over.

The next thing you need to do is decide what you are going to believe, the evidence, or the political science. "Political science?" you ask. Yes. "Political science" is where people keep on saying it over and over in the face of all the evidence, until people start to believe it because they have heard it so often. "It is a reality and the proof has built up over 150 years" of political science hollering that evolution is true, and the Bible is false, even though the evidence shows the opposite.

No such thing as luck. There is only cause and effect. Fear comes through ignorance of cause and effect.

LOL. Your comments are fun.

I wish somebody would post a few of these kinds of pictures of some Asian gals who are 80 or 90 years old... without makeup (or clothes?). That way we could see that this is all in vain.
