    The Obesification of America

    i recently saw a program where an idea was being discussed to curb infant obesity. The porblem wuith that is alt of people still use infinate obesity as a good thing- baker hypothieses is still taken as the word of gosspel.

    Holy shit, I can't believe this is going downhill so fast, can anyone with half a brain just answer the one or two points I started this thread to discuss? We all acn't be as smart as you, you know that right mate? Go for it Einstein! Disprove Irreducible Complexity for us then.. see the bottom of post of my previous post. Thats debatable! so is the bible dude! No shit? yes mate i shit you not "actaully molecular biology seems prove his theory very well" So molecular biology has proven that we evolved from monkeys? Be sure to show me this evidence too please.. firstly on morphological basis we and (monkeys) are very similiar, on the embryology we are similar, we can see in fossil (that carbon dated) to show the progression of "apes" to humans and most intermidates inbetween. Hwta do you prepose explains this? As for darwainin evolution? I ask you to READ my previous post. We can see darwainain evolution by setting up obsticles that put natural pressure on certain phenotype, than by naturally occuring muatations, (which is consequnce of molecular biologoy) we can see how the species adapts and evoloves through time to natural pressur4es were a final species is distinct from its orginial parental gorup. Because knowledge is power! 'They' do it all the time!! after all didn't god evict us out of the agrden of eden, for eating the fruit of knowledge?

    "if complexity can emmerge from simplicity then why is a superior consciousness required? If complexity can emerge from simplicity then why cant you explain irreducible complexity? Oh I forgot.. you can't!! You can and quite easily. "we sure dont yet see anything that suggests a designer is required"[/b] Then please explain flagella of bacteria? They can be reduced. There does not necessarily have to be a creator god who designed it IMO but there must be more to that life form than what modern science can explain. I am not necessarily a believer in a creator god who created all things and I am not a member of any organised religion, I just think that modern science has hit a dead end and I like to watch them squirm! "I don't think they like re writing science books either for some reason even when they know they should." dude, whats that based on? Surely you knew what I was getting at? Lol! irreudcucible complexity is a very poor arguemnt at best. "scientists can be wrong. scientists can be wrong about things for a long time. but guess who proves them wrong. other scientists. if you are a scientist and can find a flaw in a major theory you have got one huge meal ticket. your further research will be funded, you might make professor at some prestigious school, hot scientist chicks aplenty etc" ..And then you wake up! and find that irreducbile complexity is garbage! "show me a case where a religious group's work has humiliated science." Umm.. Irreducible complexity? "Darwin was an absolute genius" Thats debatable! so is the bible dude! "he lays the foundation for the field of evolutionary biology but others have progressed his work to levels he wouldnt have been able to imagine." And still failed to prove his theory 149 years on! (lol) actaully molecular biology seems prove his theory very well, espcially when looking at muatations over genereations which can be seen relativily quickly over things like drasphila's. The effetc of natural pressure on natural systems has been shown over and over again. "Mainstream scientists regard this argument as having been largely disproved in the light of fairly recent research.[45] They point out that the basal body of the flagella has been found to be similar to the Type III secretory system (TTSS), a needle-like structure that pathogenic germs such as Salmonella and Yersinia pestis use to inject toxins into living eucaryote cells. The needle's base has many[clarify] elements in common with the flagellum, but it is missing most[clarify] of the proteins that make a flagellum work. Thus, this system seems to negate the claim that taking away any of the flagellum's parts would render it useless. This has caused Kenneth Miller to note that, "The parts of this supposedly irreducibly complex system actually have functions of their own.""

    It was basic refereal that questions asking leads to cousciouness and decision making. Sure aniamals ask questions (afterall questions are basic instinct to couscious function) but not the higher degree people do. I will admit that statement was vague, and i hope this clarifies i was refering to degrees couscinous. "How do you know that the people who made up those myths were not refering to a "divine principal" such as helios representing the force that moves the earth around the sun and Eris representing the chaos principal, etc? What makes you so sure that there was not an esoteric side to these myths that was only taught to a select few and an exoteric side that was taught to the masses?" people don't prey to natural laws, only to things that govern them, You don't prey to the axe but to the executioner. What also makes me curious is that it wasn't until galileo thought that earth rounded the sun, he was locked away. why would they hide scientific advancements? So instead of looking at basic human psychology and the advacements and progression of understanding of the understanding of the natural laws, which were obvisousily spread (in dfferent forms) through different socities, you wish to say atht people knew and just didn'tw nat others to know so they made up a stroy like sanat clause to explain to the masses? Surely that is a betetr discription of religion than science? But yet I am not sure, however the evidence supports my argument and not yours, but i guess when it comes to topic of reilgion you can bet someone will bring this scrapping the bottom of barrel for answers arguments.

    I was more talking about the cucasian races hence it should be taken with refrence to helios. I think "Boom" (The Big Bang Theory) is just as shitty as "O, God made everything"... See thats were religion and science differ. We accept ours is just a theory - not fact. I think this dude needs to eat some cacti and drink some Aya', then I want him to write about "how we know almost everything, and the more we learn the more god goes away"... did this mother fucker skip quantom physics or something?! Science is PROVING God is REAL!!! Watch the movie "What the "Bleep" do we Know?"... it's very good! Maybe this "mother fucker" (is he a mother fucker becuase he has different views to yourself?) skipped it but so did you... obviously. "basically we are God and our minds are God" what the hell (no pun intended) does that have to do QP? QP has been suggested to be glorfied mathematics when you come up with mathematical proof for couscious designer, i will fully and whole heartidly take back my comments. Are you gonna suggest next that biology proves it? such irreducible complexity? About your aya' and cacti comments. Are you saying that divination you feel is because of god coming through the plants into you? Do you take an aspirin for your headache and than feel god inside of you? Or do you just accept that there is a pharamcological basis for its action? perhaps divination is just a pharmacological consqeunce of its ingestation.

    I love the god delusion, such well crafted piece of work. I am not very well hearsed in it as i am still going through it. From his work what i gather he bases his ideas on the concept of a couscious being being our designer is not feasible. humans need answers thats what differs us from the animals. the answers lay in what we can explain. Look at the progression of relaigions through time, no body stills prays to the god of fire, noone still beilives helios flies his charity of fire across the sky. We have explanations that amke them tehrefore redundant. Thus the progression from counsciouness to phsyical interactions of natural laws that govern them. The gods served there purpose to explain and thus sastified our curious nature - we had answers and when betetr stuff comes along we replace them with other answers - yet all the time we have answers. I'll ahve more to add later.

    Relationship Troubles

    self-respect and my ego becomes large enough to blanket my emotions. the funny thing is that it will for a little while until your ego breaks which doesn't tske much. I know i went through it. After my breack up I was a fucking stud i ad 4 girls i could ring and fuck, funny thing is one by one they fell though untill your left by yourslef, than it really hurts. You not only have to deal with your breaxck up but a brokern ego as well. About the older girl thing, its fun the ebst sex i ever had was witha 40 year old. (i was 18) man she could fuck. But as older girls in relationships i find doesn't work that well. although i will amdit i love older women sexy thirtys, relationships just don't work for me at least. your in 2 genreations, they often expect to much commitment and you most of the time can't afford to buy them what there used to. and no matter what they say it does matter.

    shipping spore prints overseas

    seeing as though its an offence for both parties and after all they are willing to use slavia form a stamp to dna test you. I was merely saying i doubt they would dna trace you but they wouldn't mind sending a dirty pen letter to whoever recoves your print

    shipping spore prints overseas

    They would most porbably just ask the reciver who the sender was. And most of the time they would porbably sacrfice some unknown guy (or girl) for perhaps some smaller sentence. Seing as though you porbably recived some sort of payemnt or something the person has your details. I tjhink they'd sacrfice you and uyour hole fmaily for 100$ or one day less in prison.

    Relationship Troubles

    Just follow your heart dude, jks. I know whats its like. Just tell her I did mdma and i am sorry that it hurt you, if it makes you feel betetr i won't do it again. No matter what ppl say i still beileve that even if you love someone occasionally you wnat to get something else, or if something else presents itself you wanna try out it. At 16 you think you found the one - i know i did, I used to sing love songs out the window to her (not that she would ever here them) I don't think it really matters that she had someone else, porblems only arise if they start to develop feelings. Your porbably syaing thats not true, but when you get older you'll discover the mysterious thing called a one night stand. You'll see that you can have fun with someone for a night and the next day not have a second thought. Abouyt her not talking to you. Just find anice quite time in your room and giver her a big hug (as she lies on your arm) and stroke her hair, spooning position works great. Than just sit silently and than just tell her that you really love her and you don't want it to end, and she should tell you what bothers her so you can try and fix it or not make the smae mistakes again. If you do break up you'll be dpressed and anxious for a while. But eventaully it will go away enough for you to function. Than try someone else whilst you look back at all the things you did worng and don't make them again. It will take many many tries at relationships but eventaully you will find that one that puts up with you enough to settle down. if you give it your best and still doesn't work just tell yourself i had dman good go with her but we just weren't right time to start fishing again. Just don't loose yourself respect by chasing her.

  18. recall a story of an american plant breeder/experimenter,burbank?,developed many new plant forms including cactii with reduced spines.something about shaving off the spines to encourage it to not need them,old memory,might have the book here,dubious source ! thats lamarkian evolution, i wonder if he stated his clone was becuase of that?

    Endogenous electric shocks

    maybe When/if i remember when i get home I will look it up, because senstaion could be either dermatomic or myotomic so you could loose senstaion or movement or even both (but i doubt it) Or neither. wher eyou described it appears in an iffy spot as to whet nerve innervates. Is it on the top or the bottom of the hand? it could be inervated by the superficil branch of the radial nerve or the palamr cutaneous branch of the median nerve. looking at the cutaneous neveres it seems if you do get it servered you seem to loose very little cutanous sentasion as the nerve on the top part of the hand wraps around so it seems it suplies senatsion from the tip to the bottom but is only tll about half way between distal and the medial interphalengeal joints. as iamagine it is Although what really looks to be the case and most porbably is, damage to palamer digitail nerve, which means as there are no major muscles in the distal part of the finger and tehre is anotehr nerve that runs on the otherside that innverates the smae shit. complete serveances levaes you with complete movement and sensation. as the fingers are moved by muscles in your arm not in your hand.

    Endogenous electric shocks

    from what i gather, these lectrical sensations are form the incmplete damage to a nerve, whcih it is dmaged enough to allow full repolirsation with mechancial stimulation, if you comkplelty severe the nerve you don't have a porbelm.
