    Stick with it - it soon becomes second nature (but the smell of bacon still makes me question why Im doing it, though :drool:

    My life will change very soon

    I've been following the story over here in the UK. You truly have my sympathies. BP should be prosecuted to the highest level your government can manage.

    What do you think of the Person above You's Signature?

    Gunfinger's sig makes me want to ask him why.

    Do you believe in a global flood?

    Good point, DS. What would have been the purpose of the ark, therefore? Was it two of every animal, or just two of each local species? This is when the bible annoys me - it's claimed to be the inspired word of god, but it's so blatantly full of holes that it could only have been written by...

    The Theory of Evolution is supported by the evidence.

    Humankind is certainly not 6000 years old. More like 150,000 - 200,000 years old. My post above was tongue in cheek (as I hope your answer of 6000 was...) Edit: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/the-big-question-how-old-is-humanity-and-where-did-homo-sapiens-come-from-457807.html

    For Danmac - Abiogenesis

    Danmac I've been following your understanding of evolution and abiogenesis over the last couple of days. I have a question: is the reason for your reluctance to look at the evidence solely to do with your religious beliefs, or is there another legitimate reason for your refusal? Don't let your...

    For Danmac - Abiogenesis

    It's important to note, though, that the Miller-Urey experiment wasn't representative of the early atmosphere. The experiment was too reducing in its atmosphere. Current thinking is that a less reducing atmosphere prevailed. However, it's interesting that they got organic compounds with what...

    Yes. We can.

    Kids and theism, is it natural?

    "The belief is that this child would develop without any god or religion. I find this hard to believe". Are you saying, therefore, that gods, religions etc are a product of the human imagination? If left to their own devices, humanity would naturally create deities as a way of explaining...

    Fear of potential personal power

    If entheogens are used, then yes, the alteration of reality can be fearful. The point is to learn from the experience.

    The Theory of Evolution is supported by the evidence.

    Danmac. As a biologist, I am keen to find out what you define as ' microevolution'. The number of times I've heard "Ah, but that's MICROEVOLUTION..." as if it is somehow divorced from the overall evolutionary process. Please tell me what you think microevolution is, and how it, as it appears to...

    Religions of the Future

    I think as we move into a more ecologically unstable world, the earth-based religions will come to the fore. I sense that we feel that what we are doing is wrong and imbalanced, which may be reflected in our spirituality as a way of correcting it. If we go purely by numbers of those 'born into a...

    Life After Death...

    Liked your post, DeitySlayer. Very eloquent. If one considers the number of possible combinations of sperm and egg, the fact that it's YOU sitting here reading this should give pause for thought. Death is inevitable - but life is there waiting to be grabbed by the nuts and shaken until all the...

    Do Plants Feel?

    Painted Wolf This is a fascinating area of study. I will get back to you, but it's late here in the UK (2am). I'll read the links you posted earlier in more detail tomorrow and comment on them. Sleep well (whatever the time is with you!).

    Was jesus a shaman?

    Jayhawker Soule Embarrasing? More discerning? How so? I'm genuinely interested in the title of the thread (not necessarily the content of the OP).

    Do Plants Feel?

    I don't know if your post was addressed to me, but I'll give it a go. No, an animal-like system can't be expected in plants, but no research has shown that plants possess a system that allows them to feel (the premise of the OP). If there is reputable peer-reviewed evidence to the contrary, then...

    Dairy Farm Abuse

    A lot more protein by eating meat? Just adjust your vegetable consumption and you'll get sufficient amino acids. Most people eat too much protein, which is excreted from the body anyway. And wanting to build muscle mass? Vegetarian diet being a big no-no? See above...
