    I would love to be mate, but they saw my efforts on here and threw my application in the bin.

    There's a really good website called Metabunk

    Headed up by a guy called Mick West. He debunks the more common misbeliefs with cold science.

    Makes for good reading as there's a lot of folk out there who will believe any old ****.

    True, but science won’t try and explain something that it can’t. It will just say they have no explanation for it.

    Metabunk is good coz it just sorts out the stuff that has scientific explanations, that some people want to invent all sorts of wild theories for.

    I see this as a good thing, because it helps people to understand stuff. Where there is no reasonable explanation, I’m all up for people putting forward experimental theories.

    of course I dont poo poo the things they get right

    I just see it as the penny finally dropping for them to explain away God’s work

    Brb put a video up a few days ago about the cycle of the embryo. It was explained in the Quran over 1400 years ago, obviously not using scientific terms but the cycle was made clear using appropriate terminology to make it clear for the thinking man.

    Yeah a lot of science is a modern day explanation of ancient knowledge

    metabunk is more about things like explaining how atmospheric physics explains contrails, when loads of folk are losing their minds thinking the trails they see in the sky are planes spraying chemtrails

    My boy brought his mountain dog over the other day, I remembered I had some treats in but they were tiny little things, so I just grabbed some in my hand and they are gone in one, anyway I didn't know but one had dropped, could tell because she was sniffing towards it, was such a tiny morsel but she found it, it didn't even seem to be worth the effort for a dog her size.

    I used to have one of those flashy light up dog balls and I remember an old dog of mine not being able to find it at night, even as it was flashing away light a spaceship, until she had used her nose to locate where it was.

    I think dogs sight is really good and sharp, better focus than humans and they can see a lot further, but I think they only see in muted colours and tones ?

    I mentioned on another thread, it's only a matter of time before robots have rights and some ****er gets banged up for abusing one of them.

    My favourite Apollo astronaut, Pete Conrad (doesn't everyone have a favourite astronaut? :emoticon-0138-think) was part of the team that developed that rocket. As you say, the technology has been there for decades, but after July 1969 the impetus for the US to drive on with space domination fell off a cliff. Shame, really.

    By the way, Musk may be an entrepreneur, but he ain't the engineering designer genius some people make out - he's barely had any design input into his cars or rockets. :emoticon-0108-speec

    I mean if they really did feel pain and emotion (which we're nowhere near) that could be understandable. I would say we shouldn't even consider ever making any like that.
