OK petflora, then that great for me ^^
Like evolution, creation, the structure of an atom, electricity, outer space.but I'm having a hard time believing in something that can't be proven.
Evolution is quite well proven. Read for example: http://www.evolutionfaq.com/articles/five-proofs-evolutionLike evolution, creation, the structure of an atom, electricity, outer space.
None of these things are "proven", yet, they are accepted as such. Just sayin'....
...this just reminds me of bible Folks knocking at my door and telling me "look at the sunset -there must be a higher force, its so beautiful and romantic". -Of course they didnt know why exactly the sunset looks like that and why beauty and romance makes sense from an evolutionary angle. After I told them my view on things, they were like "oh interesting i never thought about it like that -ok next "holy" Topic...I thought...ARGZ Ingnorance! No offense, but I think a viewpoint on things like that is just "lazy", imo. Well i guess we should stop right there. NVMLike evolution, creation, the structure of an atom, electricity, outer space, None of these things are "proven"
What we need to understand about evolution, is not that a plant suddenly started to produce THC, but that it most likely happened over time.I have to...
Many (most?) Christians also believe in "science," lax123, you'll find people like that at every extreme.
JMD: There's actually a lot of controversy in the scientific community on evolution, its mechanism(s), and fossil dating discrepancies. I'm no anthro/paleontologist, but Intelligent Design seems just as plausible as hitting the random button and ending up with marijuana plants or the human brain.
As far as I remember, it is known - but I don't have a source for my claim. Will see if I can find itAlso check the wikipedia page on the speed of electricity (electric drift). It's odd, electrons flow through conductors at approximately the rate of flowing honey and we can't explain that. Electricity is a phenomena that we don't fully comprehend.
We begin to understand the fundamentals, but we still know very very little about the universe as a whole.In Its totality, The Universe is so fucking crazy, how can someone even begin to say that they understand it? Attempting to understand It in the manner that we're discussing has many implications/presumptions attached to the notion which have been discussed in depth for ages (such as assuming reality is even real at all). The Universe/Existence is what it is and we do what we can. That's about all that I feel can be said. And with that being said...
There are different approaches to an idea, and the one used with Merkaba shape is what troubles me.I've never seen a paper on the effects of a Merkaba LED layout over plants. Until we do, how can one prove/disprove a hypothesis without ever making an observation?
Damn that scientific method!
It's also a possibility that the center of our galaxy emits an undertone of energy that shapes/molds matter over time via string theory frequency modulation and for whatever reason "wanted" marijuana plants to exist. That could take any amount of time. Think of our supermassive black hole as Yo-Yo Ma playing a cello in a dark empty room. Or not.What we need to understand about evolution, is not that a plant suddenly started to produce THC, but that it most likely happened over time.
Imagine the scenario where the marijuana plant didn't have THC at first, and the plants were tasty for all the animals around. A plant then had a mutation that made it taste bad (THC), and that plant survived and spread seeds. Over time more and more of these spread, while the other non-mutated got eaten.
This might not be what happened with marijuana, but it's a possibility.
Please do. Wouldn't mind reading that.As far as I remember, it is known - but I don't have a source for my claim. Will see if I can find it
I'm saying the fundamentals imply presumptions that not every one agrees on. Otherwise, hard not to agree with that statement.We begin to understand the fundamentals, but we still know very very little about the universe as a whole.
Well it seems like magic to me that a plant can take a photon of light, excite electrons into a higher state, send that electrical energy to break apart a different molecular chain whose byproducts then go through more energy conversion reactions in order to produce chemical energy! I also find it curious that I get a scrape on my knee and within moments blood vessels swell to restrict blood flow, platelets rush to the torn blood vessels and stick/clump together to plug the leak, clotting proteins then make a fibrous net to hold the platelets in place, once bleeding has stopped the blood vessels dilate to allow white blood cells easier access to the site in order to kill bacteria/germs, then fibroblasts gather and begin to produce collagen that fills in under the scab and produce new capillaries, then skin at the edges of the wound grows thicker and stretches towards the center of the scab to form scar tissue, and all this is being performed by billions of single celled living organisms that share my DNA who I think very little of, all of whom will be dead in most likely less than seven years.There are different approaches to an idea, and the one used with Merkaba shape is what troubles me.
Scientific approach: "I think this might work, or work better, because........ at least that's the theory."
Merkaba approach: "This works because it's magic."
Indeed it's possible, but we can only act upon what we know so far - and evolution is well documented and well accepted. I don't deny the possibility of any other theory, that would just make science my religion, which goes against what I believe in.It's also a possibility that the center of our galaxy emits an undertone of energy that shapes/molds matter over time via string theory frequency modulation and for whatever reason "wanted" marijuana plants to exist. That could take any amount of time. Think of our supermassive black hole as Yo-Yo Ma playing a cello in a dark empty room. Or not.
Of course But without presumptions we would get nowhere. Without well defined assumptions something like gravity assisted maneuvers would never be possible.I'm saying the fundamentals imply presumptions that not every one agrees on. Otherwise, hard not to agree with that statement.
Many things do indeed seem like magic, but science have solved the mystery and we now quite well what's going on. We know so much that we are able to direct medicine to specific parts of the body - I'd say that qualifies as a very good understanding of how the body works. Do we know all yet? Not even close, we have only scratched the surface.Well it seems like magic to me that a plant can take a photon of light, excite electrons into a higher state, send that electrical energy to break apart a different molecular chain whose byproducts then go through more energy conversion reactions in order to produce chemical energy!

Idk, there's a lot of things that seem like magic to me. Do I think a bunch of Warm White LED's in a Merkaba shape -as opposed to any other- will increase photosynthetic activity? No, not really. But that's not the point, nor does it mean it's the case.
