I didn't notice the "metallic weight" posts. Since I can't find any reference to it in my physics textbook, and a basic google turns up nothing physics related can you cite something? Even a cloud of hydrogen gas, without metals of any sort, exerts gravity. And the higgs-boson isn't...

Let me rephrase that then... "without belief in the Abrahamic God" Since he's Jewish and still religious. Show me an elected atheist and I'll be impressed.

Nope. There's nothing interesting about Christianity. It's an old meme. Totally played out. Like those Chuck Norris jokes.

Very cool. I learned a little bit of Python so it might not be totally over my head :) First thing I thought when I looked at their strawberry plants was "Wow, those lights are waaaay to high". I wonder why they really grow in that box :P

Then take it from the military budget. Not the science budget.

Hehe, okay :) We agree to disagree. But anyway, read up on it more. It's fascinating stuff. Especially if water leads to life forms, even microscopic.

Yup. So you can blame Richard for LOLcats. :)

There is a distinction between theism and deism though. A person can reject theistic gods and still believe there is something out there. So you can end up with gnostic atheists, agnostic atheists, gnostic and agnostic theists, deists, etc. So having common ground with a theist does not...

You spent a good portion of the conversation arguing against something without having bothered to actually find out what it was you were arguing against. For an opinion to be worth equal consideration, it should be an *informed* opinion. You were provided with a link to an explanation of the...

Being called godless certainly isn't an insult to us atheists. And communism works for some people. Like most governments it can be horribly corrupted, but for small population it can work quite well. I like the concept of rational anarchy myself, but I know that it's not something that could...

Fine. You live in your world. The rest of us will live in ours. But unless you actually learn about the things you are bitching about, nobody has to give your opinion equal consideration. (Reading the Huffington Post does not qualify as learning)

Have you ever tried Google SketchUp? It's really intuitive 3D software. Not at all complicated like XSI, Maya, and stuff, and suited to things like mock-ups for landscaping and construction. You could use it to lay out a house, grow room, or even plan the layout of your hydro table.

An excellent documentary reinforcing the need to reject religion and move on: VABSoHYQr6k :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

That's cool :) What scripting are you using? And what parts? I hope you document the creation process :)

No. There's no atmosphere on the moon. Gravity is too low to hold light elements. But in an artificial environment, you would probably be able to make a kick-ass greenhouse, by filtering out the unwanted radiation, and regulating the perfect amount of natural sunlight through. Yes, you could...

Have you ever taken antibiotics for an infection? So much for 'time and place' in the natural order of things. And yes, I have heard about natural selection. It's what gave us the capability to adapt to our environment. And that adaptation has given us the capability to use technology. Would...

Can you imagine the petty little god of the bible being responsible for the creation of the universe and whatever lies beyond it? I can't.

There have been at least 3 major extinctions on the planet. If you want to think in the long term, off-world colonization is necessary to continuation of the species. But even without considering extinction events, we are burning through resources like never before. If we don't begin collecting...

They used to test theories in the old days too. Trial by water. Trial by fire. Trial by ordeal. Funny though. They can kill the scientist, but they can't kill his ideas.
