    Conspiracy theorists speak up: Are the moon landings a hoax?

    I do not really buy this moon landing fakeness. But it might be plausible (but not likely) that they faked the first one. It was afterall an intense contest with Russia and America was already behind in the space race. So while I might consider the option that they faked the first one I think...

    How Did We All Get Here?

    The "and that's it" part is hard to accept for some people. So they rather spend the only life they have for certain praying, to reassure them they do get a life after this one, sadly wasting this life in the process. - Ectezus

    Having a Blast On the Moon

    So to sum up the difference: A fan tries to use air to create an effect, but since there is no air, there is no effect. But an explosion doesn't use the non-present air, it creates its own effect by expanding the gases in the explosion device itself which can propagate without air and thus still...

    Ex Nihilo and Thermodynamics

    That's the idea yeah. Atoms, greek for uncuttable, are also made out of subatomic particles/quarks and those are made out of energy and such. It really isn't all that weird when you think about it. Everything is energy. Little vibrating strands of energy. Its not really that much different...

    Having a Blast On the Moon

    Most explosions we see are as far as I know; rapidly expanding gases. Many explosions require oxygen so that might be a problem on the moon, however I think certain explosive substances also have their own component that adds ogygen to the process when ignited as to help it burn better. Sort...

    Micro to Macro

    I had the same, I stared at it for 10 minutes or so :) I could have sworn that it was impossible to make it appear to go counter-clockwise. Then after staring at the shadowfoot I now do see it counter-clockwise and I can't get it back!!! Aaagghh! Edit: and just when I posted this picture I...

    Hope i'm around to see the NASA moonbase

    Haha sorry couldn't resist. YouTube - Again stupid Bush I'm still puzzled why you guys elected him twice. :doh: Anyway Greatcloud, would you be so kind to provide some articles on that moonbase? Never heard of any concrete plans tbh.

    What can we all agree on?

    If you seriously want serious answers then don't give your answer in the very same first post where you ask your question to others. Basic stuff really. As for common grounds or some kind of connection as you've put it, I believe that everyone acts 'selfish' all the time. Selfish as in: 'you...

    Ex Nihilo and Thermodynamics

    And how could you tell the difference? You couldn't. So it would look like ex nihilo to us humans while in fact it might just be ex materia. (Psst, that's the whole point....) While a mutual interaction does seem most logical, that by no means automatically excludes the other possibilities...

    Ex Nihilo and Thermodynamics

    Gotta love these polls... Is water wet or dry, please vote. *sigh* The concept of Ex nihilo creation has never been proven, observed or has any working theory. The law of conservation of energy on the other hand is rock solid. As for the poll question, I voted for "No, not necessarily"...

    Obama Hopes To Persuade All Americans To Accept Homosexuality

    Asking for equality?!? Blasphemy!

    Ex Nihilo Creation, the Big Bang Theory, and the First Law of Thermodynamics

    Fair enough. If you know any passages by heart I'd gladly hear them in a PM. Or maybe create your own topic about it? Since you love Ex Nihilo so much. :) Thing is, I've yet to see that the bible talks really about Ex Nihilo for certain, but like I said before, I don't know the book inside...

    Ex Nihilo Creation, the Big Bang Theory, and the First Law of Thermodynamics

    AV you didn't fully answer my question, you talk about Ex Nihilo creation and I was hoping that you would provide some passages that clearly talk about Ex Nihilo creation. Genesis 1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" for example doesn't really say anything about Ex Nihilo...

    FOX News... I've never seen so much propaganda in my life...

    Wow, that video is hilarious. Americans that still think they are #1 = funneh.

    Ex Nihilo Creation, the Big Bang Theory, and the First Law of Thermodynamics

    I'd gladly hear them. Besides, there's nothing other to discuss other than AV's unlikely and non-falsifyable conclusion. AV, let's say your god and particle x always existed. And he created the heavens and the earth out of that pre-existing particle x. Please show us some lines that clearly...

    Nasa blasts off for mission to the Moon

    AV, it's simple question, yes or no answer: Do you think it's was bad of the Catholic Church to give Galileo house arrest? - Ectezus

    Nasa blasts off for mission to the Moon

    Once again you fail to get the point, it isn't about 'not instantly accepting the new theory'. It's giving a brilliant scientist house arrest and thus hindering progress. If the Catholic Churc wanted to keep believing in an Earth-centered universe theory that's fine with me, but the moment...

    Nasa blasts off for mission to the Moon

    Not fair?!? We're not talking about simply not accepting the new idea that the sun is the center of our solar system instead of the Earth. We're talking about trying to prevent the idea from spreading, giving Galileo house arrest because his idea's went against scripture. There's a big...
