Satyr's awesome. All cloven-hoofy and everything.
Relevance please?
Seriously, we've detailed this before, haven't we?
1) I don't believe in god(s).
2) The earth was a dead rock.
3) The earth is now not a dead rock.
4) Rocks are made of elements.
Of course it's serious. I want to hear a libertarians answer to the supermarket connundrum.
P.S. Did I accidentally kill your favorite pooch or something? :confused:
Ha. So predictable. Thanks for making me smile. :)
The difference is that the possibility is demonstrated. It's not a fuzzy belief. There are solid biochemical reasons to think that abiogenesis occurrs. Research the evidence for yourself and see.
SOME life. As we indicated, we have only one example of a life-bearing planet. Our "gut" feeling is that life systems vastly different from ours are unlikely, that's all.
Yes, imagine. The...
Uh, Ron. Old buddy. It's a bit of fun. ToR and the Planckster and I are friends. It's ok. Settle down.
FR,
A question then. In your practical example of the supermarket going up outside my bedroom window, what would you counsel an individual to do (assuming a fully entrenched libertarian...
I'm tellin' ya, ToR was up late last night, swillin' the juice.
Well then, I suppose I forgot to explain the part about the theory one is proposing having clear testable boundaries. My mistake. This isn't about god anyway. As I've been told many times, god is...
Ahhh FR. You are indeed the voice of reason. Nifty post.
Most educated people don't do this.
That's not one of the non-coolest sentences I haven't not seen in a while.
Ok, look. "Evidence" is just a pile of things or observations you can point...
Didn't you mean far too long?
I just about run over a couple of cows every month. Cows are big and would seriously damage my car.
Plus, this is a really dumb thread. I liked spuriousmonkey's response. Eat it, tee-totaler.
Up late last night I see?
I tend to agree with that. My "gut" feeling is the same. I'd be really suprised to find life systems greatly different from our own. But you know, this is one of those things that may be 99% for...
Harrumph. :mad:
I know these things about cats as I have two of the lovable, freeloading little darlings. Dogs are also very aware of your personal situation and will behave in a similar manner. ...
As an interesting side note, when interferometric telescopes can finally take decent spectra of extrasolar planets, the presence of a strong oxygen line will almost certainly indicate the presence of...
Yes. And for ToR, organisms basically were killing themselves (inadvertently of course) with their own waste products (O<sub>2</sub>). Many lifeforms adapted to use this toxic waste to their...
Ok then.
I choose to believe that dogs get as much, if not more, from the partnership we've both established over millenia. Cats, on the other hand are, by your logic, freeloading, egocentric,...
I agree. I live on a small piece of farmland. Our Patrol Cat<sup>TM</sup> definitely keeps the rat/mouse population under control.
No prob leo. Of course you'll notice that I'm never narrowminded. ;)
