Quantum mechanics has broken down our notion of what matter is -- individual particles are now mere possibilities described by Heisenberg and Schrцdinger equations. Yet when make observations, the possibility of different states suddenly collapse to... [Read More]
I understand your point and I'm very frustrated by the fact that this is going to lead us (the forum, not just you and I) down a path that I've been asking for clarification on, but have yet to receive any. That's probably because we don't have a bri... [Read More]
I think JediMaster12 was referring to things in the Bible such as 'Love your neighbor as yourself' and not the oft-quoted-by-atheists 'marry your rapist!' General view in Bible circles--Christ's sacrifice meant the Law in the Old Testament (from whi... [Read More]

Jae + Dave Barry columns = Danger. Well, dangerous only if you consider getting assaulted by semi-bad humor dangerous. This tech 'adventure' (to put it nicely) was just too funny not to pass on. Note from Technical Support Hell (http://blogs.heral... [Read More]
So, oil companies make a lot of money selling oil...but lose that money when they have to buy that oil back. So, oil companies don't like high oil prices as well. They prefer "stable prices". (Too high...people won't be able to buy. Too low... [Read More]
DI, Achilles, please take the personal stuff to PMs and quit arguing with each other about who's better at reading things critically, since that has zip to do with the topic. Truth is, sometimes people take home different things out of an article and... [Read More]
I think the 2 topics are asking essentially the same question, so I'm going to merge these 2 threads. Carry on! I'm interested in an answer on how atheists determine right and wrong. It seems to me like there'd be such a sliding scale of right and wr... [Read More]

There's what, a year between ESB and RotJ? Plenty of time for them to coordinate and come up with a broad rescue plan with plenty of redundancies--you can't put all your eggs in one basket when you deal with a bunch of bounty hunters. These were nev... [Read More]
