Off Topic Dark Matter and other Astronomy information.

certianly does,

is interesting that most assume monkeys is where we came from, but dismiss the mermaid theory, we could have evolved from both?

there is animals that have evolved from the water to live on land and vice a versa, they are only recently discovering things that was unknown to science.

watched a programme on the blue lagoons you can get that have the abyss in them, and they reckon we probably still have thousands of species unknown to man yet in our waters, and i havent even mention the amazon jungle that we havent properly explored yet on land.

 

Jenners, why should you have to appologise for holding a contrary view? As with you, I think that all of us who do hold some form of religious belief ask for, is a respectful hearing for our views.

 

And you should always receive it

 

Yes indeed, all life is a miracle.

I'm not any good at science or with science either, I still marvel that I touch a switch and light appears

 

That's not science- it's magic.

 

See I told you I wasn't any good with science!

 

going slightly off topic apologies, another subject i like lol.

magic has always baffled me, not in the sense of the trick ,but the fact all these people learn magic (ie basic card tricks, rabbit out the hat etc) and then suddenly they know how to create the illusion of walking on water or levitating (although i have seen theories for that one lol)

where the **** does this knowledge come from suddenly?

 

Training? Knowing how it's done?
The walking on water is just a platform underneath the water. The levitation is easy, I can do that. Some of them are very clever though.

 

You could say the same thing about cancer then.

 

platform is a possibility i suppose, you reckon they would have done that for the thames when dynamo walked on it? had a couple of canoeist that passed over where he had walked as well, so would have hit it surely as his feet wasn't that much in the water, seen it done on water fountains as well, so be hard to do a platform wouldn't it without being seen.

couple of theories about the levitating is the angle and cant see both heels,but then how did dynamo manage it when he did his rio trick?,another is to film the reaction of the crowd first then edit in afterwards, but that doesn't make sense as what was they originally in awe of, and why wasn't that used as the trick?

we need an updated version of penn and teller lol

 

Yes, as Ricky Gervais once said, God worked away in the dark until he got around to creating light.

 

Not too sure what you mean.

 

You identify for yourself that your start point is that what you are seeing is an illusion. What you believe is happening is not real and only the result of a trick. The frustration is that you do not know how the effect is achieved - and if you did then the illusion would lose its potency.

 

I appreciate it won't change the minds of you Creationist folks, but I'll ask this question anyway. Why did this God dude, if He is so omnipotent like, not just create humans and the Garden of Eden and all that on day one? Why, as all physical evidence prove, did He wait 13 billion years from creating the universe till he rustled up planet earth, and then another 4 billion until conditions were right for humans to exist? Were dinosaurs his first attempt at the divine and he thought "**** this, they're just eating each other and not building temples to me" and smote them with a **** off asteroid in the Yucatan peninsular, leaving it another 65m years until his vanity project came to fruition?

And why use all the same building blocks for life (we're 98% identical to bonobos, and 50% to sea cucumbers)? Did he pick up an economy bag of DIY genes from Jewson's or something, and decided not to waste any of it? And what's the ****ing appendix, blind spots and the basis of a tail about if we're such a ****ing miracle?

And that frigging crook in our backs just above the sacroiliac. Some say that's a residue of when we evolved to walk upright. If we were 'designed' that way - WHY? Why build a ****ing obvious weak point into an 'intelligent' design? Like calling Toure's ball control a miracle.

 

I think he created light and darkness at the same time!

 

It's alive, made of cells and replicates. Some would call that a micro-biological, chemical reaction. Up the scale and give it a 'consciousness' and it's apparently a 'miracle'.

 

Must have shares in Centrica.

 

Diseases are living organisms but not sentient beings and that's the distinction.

 

Cancer isn't really a distinct organism in or of itself. Cancer is when an a cell (or cells) of an organism (because animals other than humans develop it) goes 'rogue' (an error has crept in somewhere), and replicates without cease.

 

I may have got the wording wrong I'm not good at science. Pathological conditions that can metastasise [is that nearer the definition?] aren't sentient beings. I think DD was being flippant anyway - not about the condition which is serious - but his referring to it sarcastically as miracle.
