'Expelled' Explodes into Top 10 Box Office

Okay, now it's getting ugly. I hope you didn't hurt Wayne's feelings. He cries like the rest of us, ya know. Maybe he just needs someone to hold him through the night.  (34 min ago | post #1771)

Wayne is anything BUT a Christian. Maybe he's a Scientologist. They like confrontation.  (48 min ago | post #2188)

Should evolution be taught in high school?

God and Evolution are separate. Both can co-exist. But, let's be clear, like all scientific theories, Evolution is based on factual evidence, not supernatural musings. So, you are wrong. Evolution should be taught in Science class. God should be taught in Philosophy, Religion, or better yet at home by your parents.  (58 min ago | post #18217)

That's the lamest argument against Atheism. Obviously morals help a society become secure and successful which benefits all within that society. Morals help Man, not God.  (1 hr ago | post #2391)

I think you can easily say that about any person who lives outside your own personal circle of morality.  (8 hrs ago | post #2340)

What then did you hope to gain by showing me this experiment by Dr. Beauregard? What are your interpretations of the experiment? Also, I found an interesting interview with Dr. Beauregard. Here's an excerpt: Q: Are spiritual experiences delusions created by a misfiring brain? A: No. There is no God spot in the brain. Spiritual experiences are complex, like intense experiences with other human beings. There is, however, a mystical state of experience that is not quite the same thing as an emotional state. That does not prove that the mystic contacts something outside herself, but it is consistent with it. http://www.harperc ollins.com/author/ authorExtra.aspx?a uthorID=30251& displayType=interv iew  (8 hrs ago | post #2339)

Microsoft Joins the OLPC Project

We bought one of those $188 laptops, and my son doesn't really like it. I can see a use for it in poorer nations though. It's very sloooow, but would allow for communication with the outside world, as well as being a creative outlet. Not good for multimedia however.  (9 hrs ago | post #6)

Obese blamed for the world's ills

Makes sense. Fat people eat more. And their eating all our food. Case closed.  (9 hrs ago | post #4)

Ice cores give up 800,000 years of climate data

The article states: "The EPICA research uncovered evidence of rapid climate changes in the past; around 770,000 years ago, levels of both CO2 and CH4 changed drastically within just A FEW DECADES. Similar changes also took place around 40,000 years ago during the last glacial period." Interesting. If such rapid change has been shown to occur naturally, this does not bode well for those who think the warming is man-made.  (9 hrs ago | post #27)

But have any other scientists come out to SUPPORT it? If so, please name them. I don't doubt that the numbers are real. There is brain activity there, yes, I see that. The mind is very complex, and we each live in our own little reality within our own little minds. The nuns believe they have been taken over by something larger than them. Okay fine. You can say that about Buddhist monks too. I had a friend who had been practicing Transcendental Meditation for 20 years, and he often "saw" and "felt" something larger than him, but he still didn't believe in God or the afterlife. Dr. Beauregard's own paper states in the first paragraph: "The external reality of 'God' can neither be confirmed nor disconfirmed by delineating the neural correlates of RSMEs (religious/spiritu al/mystical experiences). " Even his own paper states the results are inconclusive. Science has not validated the supernatural...yet .  (9 hrs ago | post #2331)
