Let's see... Scattered topics... check. Miscellaneous references to macro vs. micro... check. Notes about the nature of science vs. religion... check. Signs of flame-war breaking out... check. Yep, so far it's a typical thread on this topic. Next up: Scriptures fly, Christians debate the Hebrew &qu...

Macro evolution has to happen if micro evolution happens. Macro evolution is micro evolution, just over a much larger time frame. If micro evolution happens to one organism over and over and over it will be something different. The key factor here is time. If traits that define an organism are rout...

Here's another... Two blind pilots both are wearing dark glasses, one is using a guide dog, and the other is tapping his way along the aisle with a cane. Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin, but the men enter the cockpit, the door closes, and the engines start up. The passengers begin glancin...

Spaceboy

Lol, that was really random.

Faith doesn't come from nowhere, Spaceboy. It's not the conscious choice to believe something there is no proof for (that would be insanity). It is a choice to accept things you have not entirely tested/understood, based on judged trustworthiness of the source. It is very unscientific for you to ta...

Here's an interesting video to watch about evolution:

http://www.wellcometreeoflife.org/video/

It's all speculation of course, but still interesting to think about.

Spaceboy

Awesome!

I always thought that Fallout 3 would be epic instead of just amazing if it had online capabilities.

Lets see if this matches up to Fallout 3! If the online is any good and the game is like Fallout 3, we have a winner.

.."where does God come from?" argument (and let me point out that the Bible has been around longer than that argument).. Lol. Of course the argument came after. How could the argument possibly have come before? For other gods it is the exact same thing... What if it's true? What does that...

I believe in micro evolution because it makes sense. Living things adapt to their environment. But macro evolution, the idea that single-cell organisms turn into fish and fish turn into alligators and alligators turn into primates and primates turn into humans... that doesn't make sense. I'm not sa...

Trying to answer the origin of the universe or life itself with intelligent design makes no sense to me. I'm not saying that it is impossible, but if you're going to answer those questions with intelligent design... Where the heck did the designer come from? How did his life start, or his universe? ...

Double post

Spaceboy

Why do we (as humans) always look for a single explanation to everything. I think it's perfectly acceptable that evolution is a part of what happens, but that does not eliminate a creator from the mix, nor does having a creator eliminate evolution. Ah, but the origin of my existence doesn't have an...

Bacteria evolved into....bacteria???? That is evolution? :roll: No one's children look exactly like them or have the same immune system as their parents. That is not evolution. -.- A trait that was once very rare in bacteria is now dominant throughout bacteria. Survival of the fittest, that's what ...

...Oh, you mean like the "evidence" of all the 'missing links?' haha Now it's clear you haven't taken evolution seriously. It doesn't have to be missing links connecting species to today, we can see many different examples in the fossil record. However, the real evidence is in genetics. I...

So, first, let's assume that spaceship A is fixed. Spaceship B is moving -1 MPH away from SS-A Spacerock is moving -(C-1) MPH away from SS-A SS-A is moving +1 MPH away from SS-B (Exactly 1 MPH, as defined in the previous scenario) SR is moving ~-(C-2) away from SS-B (It would always be approximate,...

Spaceboy

heh "Evolution" just got pwned. :D It didn't, but I believe the word you're looking for is thwart ed. :P But don’t you know the “theory” of evolution, evolved into “fact” years ago. I stole that from a cartoon posted over on .com It isn't fact , there is just an overwhelming amount of evi...

Spaceboy

One of the reasons evolution is such a hot debated topic is because it is not science. It is a religious belief. I made that point in another forum which is strangely blocked by this site?? Real science doesn't require faith (i.e. "believe" in evolution). Science is proven by experimentat...

How ironic would that be if a joke turned into a heated political debate?

All I have to say is that Spaceboy's and dissent's avatars are too similar. I keep reading one and thinking it's the other. ;) Ahh! You're right. *Changes later today* actually they are ancestors. DBB history tells us that Spaceboy came from the Oceans of space and after many years EVOLVED into wha...

Oh.
I used the search bar but I only got a random topic on the first page.

Thanks.

Spaceboy

How is it possible people still think evolution is 100% false?

I thought it was a small amount of people that thought that, so I dismissed it; there's actually serious debate going on about it!

This is baffling to me.

I agree that he should die for the terrible things he did, but we don't need to celebrate it.

Spaceboy

Well, that's what I'm saying, how A and B appear to eachother appear different than what C can see. Bah I have trouble wording stuff like this. but, given what C can see, what are A and B experiencing? so we're shifting to the A and B reference from the C reference. With that I'm asking, we have the...

Spaceboy

I don't believe it's impossible to calculate or measure...relativity isn't random.
B does see A doing something, but what?

Spaceboy

I love that stuff, it tastes delicious.

Spaceboy

Wow, those guys really will do anything.

Spaceboy

Geez, you people aren't much better. <.<

Spaceboy

That's kindof beside the point.

Imagine they're at a great distance with a really big light source. You could see them then.

Spaceboy

From C's reference frame: A is travelling at (speed of light - 1mph) B is travelling at (speed of light - 2mph) Thus the speed of light in C's reference frame is (A's speed + 1mph). In B's reference frame: A is travelling at 1mph Since the speed of light is constant in every frame of reference, isn...

Spaceboy

If it was 1mph from reference point A and B, AND 1mph from reference point C, the speed of light would not always appear to be traveling the speed of light. If what you're saying is true, it seems assuming A is going c - 2, and B is going c - 1 From Reference point C that if B was only going 1mph mo...

Spaceboy

Yes, which means it applies to any speed.

Spaceboy

Well, that's what I'm saying. It does happen for any speed ... I haven't taken physics, I'm mostly just thinking about this stuff but I just talked to someone who's gotten a physics degree, I was saying the equation was (x-c)\\c when the equation is (gamma) = 1\\(Square root(1 - (v^2\\c^2)) v = the ...

Spaceboy

More like... the difference between the speed of light and an obj A divided by the speed of light = the percentage of time obj A is experiencing relative to a stationary object. You could also flip it around saying the speed of light divided by the difference in the speed of light and obj A = the am...

Spaceboy

Meh, it's a bit more complicated than that, but I'm not really entitled to a legitimate opinion since I haven't researched much on the subject. We definitely are effecting the climate to some degree, there's no doubt about that. The problem with climate is it's very unpredictable with many factors t...

Spaceboy

If you're saying it would only increase 1mph from the pov of spaceship A, spaceship B would appear to have gotten longer with slower clocks as much as anything that just accelerated 1mph would, which would be practically nothing. This point I might have posted on the board earlier, but I can't find ...

Spaceboy

it would appear to spaceship a that spaceship b has accelerated 1 mph faster. That can't be though... It would only appear that way from an outside observer. If you're going 2mph under the speed of light yet from your perspective light is still going the speed of light, that means time has slowed e...

Spaceboy

Since the speed of light is always the speed of light, what happens when you have two spaceships traveling side by side, both going 2mph under the speed of light, then spaceship B accelerates to only 1mph below the speed of light? Even though spaceship B only accelerated 1mph, does it appear to have...

Spaceboy

We just don't know , with any level of accuracy. You missed my point. I was speaking from the 1940's time frame. In retrospect you can argue whether it was right or wrong all you want which is what you're saying, I agree, ...but from Truman's point of view in the 1940s, those were the options prese...
