(Inspired by http://german.imdb.com/title/tt0219224/ - I hope the link will work for everyone, somehow it seems suspect... if it doesn't work, look up the movie "On the beach" on www.imdb.com - specifically the 2000 version that I recently caught on German TV) So... regardless of what you...

*...wonders whether he should enter or leave again* *decides to just watch (mostly) for a while before making a decision* *but nonetheless waves hello to those who might still know him :D *

Heya, not a topic for deep thought I admit, but it just occured to me... "Creationism" is commonly understood as referring to the christian brand of the pseudoscience, as if you'd said "biblical creationism". Just for the sake of semantics, is there any (semi-)official term for the islamic...

...nothing definitive yet, but... ...it seems to me currently that my understanding of the rules of this place grows more and more different from that of the mods and admins. Maybe it's just me, maybe it's... I don't know what (and I'm not trying to assign any guilt to anyone here!). I'm...

This is aimed at those who want to claim that "Hitler was a (whatever), so (whoever happens to share that trait with hitler) is eeeeeeebil!!!". If that doesn't concern you, feel free to ignore this thread. So, for all you christians who like to claim "Hitler was an atheist so atheism is...

So, after rewatching the first "X-Men" movie (one more time), once again I wonder... and this place may be a nice one to ask the questions running through my head. If this has been dealt with already, please just point me to the thread and ignore the rest. Okay, you're still reading, so I'll...

Heya, suddenly it's all the rage over here, TV reports, written reports et al. I'm referring to the online game "Second Life". For those who don't know, it's pretty much what the name implies - you get a virtual character in a virtual world, without any plot or storyline. Want to work for...

This is directed at those who claim that homosexuality (and probably bisexuality et cetera too, though they rarely address these issues) is a conscious choice that one can make or not make. If you say that based solely on scriptural grounds, fine. Believe whatever you want to. Just note please...

I've entertained this thought for a while now, time to let others take part in the fun, so there :D There are those among the christians (and some other believers too) who say that "dressing like the opposite gender" is an offense/insult/abomination/whatever to their deity. For the context of...

Just so you know... ...something happened some time ago, made me suspect that maybe I've been banned without notice. Whenever I tried to login I got "user name unknown". Suddenly it works again. <Lennier> Understanding is not necessary </Lennier> ;)

...to those who may have wondered where to I disappeared again: 36 °C outside... I guess that's a heat record for Germany. Surely you understand that the motivation to do anything goes down a bit in these conditions... (remember, Germany used to be cool and rainy not too long ago... gee, to...

Heya, found this interesting and somewhat funny - hopefully some of you will smile too while you shake your heads :D Occasionally, when I have done all my day's work and still an hour of time until I need to catch my train, I browse forums from my workplace at the IT headquarters of an...

Hi all, if you didn't guess it already from the subject - considering that quite a few US fundamentalist christians seem to believe that the US is the only place in the world, and considering that they are commonly convinced that there's a literal christian hell somewhere below the surface of...

Heya, every so often a creationist will question how scientists can be sure that they didn't get anything wrong, after all, we are all humans and can (and eventually do) make mistakes. The same can be asked of anyone reading science-vs-dogma-threads in forums such as this one - how does one...

Heya folks, hope you all had lotsa fun at Beltane (May 1st). My beloved and I surely had, even though we had to leave the festival before it got really wild :D Just for a quick pic and some info on the place, this is the "Externsteine" ("rocks of Extern") in Northern Germany, an ancient...

Heya, while I never was one of the most important people in this forum, it is possible that someone wondered where I've been hiding since February. ;) Due to some remaining technical issues after the major upgrades (at least that was the reason as far as I could figure out) I decided that...

Heya, so, with the vast majority of postings here (as far as I can tell) revolving about digital gaming... any boardgamers here, especially friends of the ancient noble game of Go? :cool:

Heya, somehow it just popped into my mind how one might be able to define the difference between life and non-life quite neatly. It's a definition I didn't find anywhere so far, and I'm pretty sure that I don't just happen to be the first one to come up with it, so criticize me please - just...

...to read that world's largest SciFi story? ;) As far as I know it is available, or at least has been, in a number of countries outside Germany, including the US. Who knows Rhodan? Who reads it?

Hope you all have a great day celebrating the rebirth of the sun :D As for me, the drinking horn (and the mead to fill it) are ready, the meal has been prepared, and the guests will soon arrive... :yum:
