    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    No, common descent is a conclusion based on available evidence, there could well be multiple ancestors to today's species, but the most parsimonious phylogenys only indicate one. Also, how did you prove this? what is your evidence that the current conclusion is wrong? Where can we see it so...

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    He is only known for one theory, descent with modification and selection, otherwise known as evolution. Your claim without some more support seems rather grandiose.

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    @IamYourYahaweh OK, so it was Darwin, what did you disprove and how? Enquiring minds are enquiring.

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    The teacher shut up, nodded his head and rolled his eyes and walked away. Obvious evidence of an invincible argument.

    How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?

    There is a reason humans were able to build pyramids and it is because thinking like this was already in decline.

    If science is so great why hasn't it solved all of humanitys problems ?

    Getting to the moon in terms of basic physics was figured out by Newton nearly 500 years ago, but making useful satellites like our modern GPS and weather satellites came out of research from NASA, Likewise computer reliability technology and other electronics that we use daily and numerous...

    How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?

    You are mixing concepts and conversations again which seems to be a characteristic of yours, \ Apples and Kumquats, the discussion was whether ramps were needed at all levels, though I will agree that they would probably be a better solution for the very large base stones. Good bye.

    How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?

    Besides not understanding ramps, you seem to be claiming that water flows uphill to provide your ballast/counterweight or are you next going to argue for an aquaduct to supply the water or had they invented windmills to wind the rope to pull the weights? Maybe 19th century egyptologists were...

    How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?

    And where did you get the water to act as the counter balance? You haven't solved anything only demonstrated that you actually do understand physics sufficiently well to understand that fledgling swallows are irrelevant to the point. You are not presenting any evidence just your personal...

    How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?

    Ok, this is not the post I was going to respond to, but yes, it is basic physics though some here seem to want to rewrite them with swallows. Two people can move a half ton up a moderate ramp with the ability to leg press 250 pounds. For more, you don't get bigger people but more of them. The...

    If science is so great why hasn't it solved all of humanitys problems ?

    All I can think of is this is some sort of self justification because ad hominem. I'm excused because intelligent people aren't perfect or something like that.

    How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?

    There is no proof here, only absurd assertions. Do you actually even understand what a funicular is. Never mind that is rhetorical. A Funicular is a counter balanced system that relays on conterbalanced weights to move the cars up and down so that the only motive energy required is to move the...

    How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?

    Yeah Right and since it all based on Swallows, you can actually answer this one.

    How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?

    Or use the old fashion method using the sides of the pyramid as the ramp. The ramp does not need to be smooth, just support the load being slid/dragged up it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone-boat Here is one typically used for sliding 1000 lb loads up stairsteps up to 40 degrees or so...

    How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?

    Bag the all caps, you are arguing your personal beliefs in words while not even using them correctly. A funicular is a ramp with a few added simple machines but it is a ramp. If it was vertical then it would be an elevator or a crane and they are not ramps though they use some of the methods of...

    If science is so great why hasn't it solved all of humanitys problems ?

    Yup they are all acts of human beings and thus related as such, none of them have to do with the practice of science as a method of discovering new knowledge. A scientist can practice any of those behaviours just as any other human can, but they are not science.

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    Just a thought, you should take your questions about Mary etc. to the Scriptural debate board, There are many beliefs and interpretations there, even in catholicism let alone other Chriistian sects. It isn't even a matter of science, something like only 85% of Catholics believe in the virgin...

    How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?

    Pulley noun a wheel with a grooved rim around which a cord passes. It acts to change the direction of a force applied to the cord and is chiefly used (typically in combination) to raise heavy weights.

    How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?

    A crane is just a system of pulleys and counterforces mounted on a tall structure, it is still just a combination of simple machines. Somebody didn't understand basic physics from the ancient world.
