    Where would you choose to be born?

    I wish I had been born in India, so I could have become a Sadhu. Here in the US anybody following a life path similar to a sadhu would just be considered a bum or hobo and looked down upon.

    Why is it in Horror Films?

    Because it would be very boring if everybody just ran away at full speed and there wasn't any action to entertain the crowd.

    Battle of the Sci-Fi Mega Franchises

    I agree, Rodney was my favorite character of the whole franchise too.

    Liberals Who Own Guns.

    I would say that my political views are more like the classical liberal leaning more to the left. I wasn't really raised around guns much growing up except for hunting rifles. When I was in the navy I realized that I really liked shooting pistols and was rather good at it, so I...

    Is a prostitute and one-night stand the same?

    I don't think they are the same thing. From the perspective of the male (assuming that the prostitute is the female, which is more common) the situation probably doesn't seem that different between a one night stand and paying for sex with a prostitute. From the woman's perspective...

    Battle of the Sci-Fi Mega Franchises

    I think stargate has been my favorite franchise so far. The battlestar galactica remake was a pretty good series, but Caprica was meh, so as a franchise I don't think it compares much to stargate which has been good in all its reincarnations.

    Commander Shepard: Atheist?

    I would have to say that with my experience around other young people in my generation, mid-twenties and younger, that there are far more atheists or agnostics. Especially compared to our parent's generation. I would say that the rest that are religious are far less religious than earlier...

    The 3rd Testament - when?

    I think it is because verifying that something is "the word of god", or "divinely inspired" is very hard to prove these days. Instead of the "because we said so" argument that was accepted back then through faith, or by the tip of a sword.

    Ideal age to get married

    I think the answer to this question is that it is all relative to the individuals involved. My wife and I were together for 4 years prior to getting married at the age of 20, and we've been married now for 5 years. We were much more mature than many of our friends at the time, but probably...

    Flower grown from prehistoric seeds.

    I thought this was very interesting. I actually work in a lab where we do plant tissue culture and micropropagation so when I first saw this article awhile back it stood out. Plants can be amazing organisms.

    Neanderthal genomes in modern humans

    I read an article a few years ago that talked about a genetic study of Homo sapein's skeletons from around the time that we coexisted with neanderthals and it suggested that inter-breeding was common and there were several instances of neanderthal genes being found in humans. They said that...

    Peeps

    We always got a package of peeps in our Easter basket when I was growing up. I once saw a Peepmobile while driving down the interstate. It was a van with peeps decals all over it and a row of large peeps on the top.

    Worst Morning Ever

    Wow, I bet that was annoying. Car alarms used to go off at all times of the night for some reason at my old apartment. There was once when an alarm kept going for what seemed like forever, I didn't sleep very well that night.

    Scientists regenerate a plant -- 30,000 years on

    This is very interesting. I myself am a plant scientist and work with tissue culture and micropropagation. This was probably the technique they used to regenerate the plant from 30,000 fruit tissue. It would be interesting if this plant species still exists today, and to do a genetic...

    Assuming Evolution is True......

    I think we were probably getting smarter throughout the generations up until the point that being smart no longer gave us more advantage and made us more fit for survival and pass on our genes. For the early generations of humans being smart ensured that you would most likely live longer...

    Would your beliefs be affected if...

    I'm not assuming that anyone's beliefs would be changed, but I just noticed that it was a major theme that religious beliefs of some characters were affected in books and movies when aliens showed up. My personal beliefs would not be changed either, I'm glad that others feel the same way.

    Would your beliefs be affected if...

    What if tomorrow a big alien spaceship landed in a populated area and the presence of extraterrestrial life was confirmed. How would this affect your religious beliefs?

    Good vs Evil

    I think what is good and evil is completely subjective and relative to the culture and times we live in. For example some of the actions of religious figures during the Spanish inquisition would have been looked at as good to them and morally sanctioned by god, but today the same people would...

    At what point did humans become Human?

    I don't think you can point to a single point and say this is when human beings began. In a million years, will our descendants who may be vastly different from us and consider themselves human look back at us and consider us to be inferior precursors that weren't human.
