If this is all your own work, jonathan7, then this is fine. There may be other portrait mods but making your own portraits for a new mod is not plagiarism. Paul--Please use the report post feature (the little yellow dot beneath someone's avatar/loca...  [Read More]

So depending on how the Democrats handle this, I actually believe this could end up being a plus to the Republican Presidential hopefuls. Unfortunately, I don't see Pelosi handling this with the necessary agility. About darn time Gonzalez resigned...  [Read More]

Arsonists like watching things burn like alcoholics like to drink alcohol. They have pyromania and would get in the way of firefighters trying to do their job, and might actually make things worse by trying to set more fires if they were on the front...  [Read More]

My grandma always said, "If you can't find anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all." Why do you even need to say "Oh, that's so gay" when there are plenty of other alternatives?...  [Read More]

Arcesious, we already have two threads going on evolution--one on evolution in general (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=181232), and one on abiogenesis (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=181250) in particular, so I'm closing thi...  [Read More]

No, I'm simply holding religion to the standards that a few contributors in this thread have suggested that we use. If religion is scientific, as both you and Darth Insidious have suggested, then it's perfectly reasonable to hold them accountable to...  [Read More]

That's not self-correction, that's the creation of a schism. Would you likewise consider the revival of fundamentalism in the early 1900's a correction? Luther had no intention of leaving the Catholic church when he did that, however. He wanted ref...  [Read More]

But almost always it is another scientist or group of scientists that exposes the hoax. Science is self-correcting. Religion has no such internal mechanism. I disagree with that. Luther was searching for reform in the church (sparked by the sale of i...  [Read More]

I will agree with you that I was thinking more individuals than institutions--my mistake on the misunderstanding. Right, after it could no longer maintain a non-evolutionary doctrine without risking embarrassment (to my earlier point). Science is...  [Read More]

It seems to me that when religion comes across something it can't explain, it just chalks it up to "god" and then moves on - never investigating or seeking deeper understanding. I disagree completely that 'religion' never investigates or s...  [Read More]

Personally, I'd rather they lower the drinking age here to about 18, and completely revoke drivers licenses for being under the influence while driving. It doesn't stop people from driving--they just drive without a license....  [Read More]

But we've had testable hypothesis for nearly 100 years. Just as I've observed in a few other conversations that we've had, it would seem that you think scientists are working under some sort of time constraint. I never said nor implied a time constr...  [Read More]

Just so I'm clear, are you arguing that since we don't know how it's done, it isn't possible? That's what the last two posts have sounded like and I just want to be sure I'm understanding you correctly before I respond. I'm not saying it _can't_. I...  [Read More]

We can create RNA, DNA, amino acids, proteins and all the other building blocks. Getting them to self-replicate is the hurdle we haven't overcome yet, and simply putting them into a cell membrane is going to give us cell membranes full of protein and...  [Read More]

Jae, All you need is a few short strands of self-replicating chemicals and evolution takes care of the rest :D Here (http://youtube.com/watch?v=ozbFerzjkz4) is a short (and fun!) YouTube clip that covers the basics. If it were that easy, we'd have...  [Read More]

For the sake of argument, let's forego dueling sources and just go with your number. I will take a moment to point out that the margin of error is smaller than the difference between 95% that they "probably" feel is more accurate and the pr...  [Read More]

Why do humans share 98% of their DNA with apes? Actually, 95% (http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=129726) for chimpanzees, who are closest to us genetically. Even if you go with the 1.2% difference, it "Although this diffe...  [Read More]
