Nah, nothing "nefarious", nothing PC, no new science "form", no there there. Was it an odd choice? Yup. "Science" doesn't have anything to do with this incident.
Do you think bright people shouldn't make stupid mistakes? If...
Original mormons were not hung up about alcohol the way they are today.
Joseph Smith drank alcohol for pleasure on a number of occassions as documented in the History of the Church.
On Wednesday May 3, 1843, Joseph "... drank a glass of wine with Sister Jenetta Richards, made by her mother...
Absolutely, you can't rely on reason, you must appeal to emotion for this to work.
What trips me out about a guy like you DeepShadow is how I imagine that you don't imagine the similarity between your spiritual confirmation and that of say a Baptist. You know, I get it, I really do get how...
Well, it probably isn't something that either of us can 'prove', but my heavily biased opinion is that there are much more compelling reasons for the church not to present the meat before the milk (as they like to say). I am taking a more practical view based on the unbelievers perspective. In...
I would frubal you this second if I could but apparently I went a little crazy with the dispensing of the frubals yesterday and I've been put in 'time out'. lol

Hi Gene,
From the first link the summary includes:
The US Bureau of Reclamation has recently developed a Desalination and Water Purification Technology Roadmap to serve as a strategic research pathway for desalination technologies.
I found this link but it still isn't clear to me who is...
pretty cool...
"The worlds desalination capacity is expected to double in size over the next twenty years, resulting in an installed capacity of over 10.5 billion gallons per day. Historically, most of the installed seawater desalination capacity has been produced through thermal distillation...
I am sympathetic with the questions raised but I don't get on board with the suggested conclusions. Plus, I think it is a limit of imagination to suggest that evolution will only impart the ability to survive - come on, that just made me laugh out loud.
What these discussions never address is...
Hey Jay, dig the mini-rant - confirmation bias blows, I get it. I want to recommend a book that will give you a more nuanced view of what you are encountering. Amazon.com: The Thinker's Toolkit: 14 Powerful Techniques for Problem Solving: Books: Morgan D. Jones Even if you just read the...
"No part", you would have "no part" of any of those groups of people? Wow! Ya see, I find that almost pathetic that you would have "no part" of any of those people. We are talking about people ya know. You can call their group/belief a cult but they are made up of people and many of these people...
Was post #11 a response to post #10? I would think it fairly obvious, but ya know, I don't want to assume. Plus, there is a little disconnect since post #10 doesn't "pontificate" on anything and yet that is the thrust of your beef with post #10.
The other thing that is problematic with post...
