What religion do you follow?

i don't follow any. I was raised Pentecostal christian though.

I'm of the opinion that none are right about everything, but all have a piece of the truth; I think the truth's been so stretched out to suit the beliefs of certain men, who had a certain importance in the pivotal places in which these beliefs where formed. I personally believe that in the best interest of humanity, all these Theologians, scholars, and scientists should get together to find the truth, for the sake of humanity before some irreversible horror occurs worldwide.

I believe that we, as a race, can find a balance with the truth (when the truth is rediscovered) and science, and that will be for the betterment of the human race.

Excellent points my man. The way I see it is, there are only two sides, good and evil. I believe in God and I believe in the devil, those are the only real sides. There isnt enough time for me right now to go into detail about everything because I can go on for a long time, but the real truth is that we waste too much times being divided into group and sections when in reality we are all the same. The devil uses tactics to divide us amongst eachother which is why there have been religion wars going on since back in the Egyptian Pharaoh days. Its all part of one big plan, one big even that is upon us, but we just need to open up our eyes and wake up and stand up against it because time is running out and its a lot closer to happening that people think, and when this "event" does happen, the smart people will know what to do, and the blinded will be lost.

New monkey found in Myanmar near China dam project
OSLO, Oct. 27, 2010 (Reuters) — A new type of snub-nosed monkey has been found in a remote forested region of northern Myanmar which is under threat from logging and a Chinese dam project, scientists said on Wednesday.

Looks like a mix between Michael Jackson and a monkey.

Scientists Report Early Success In Growing Mini Liver In Lab

Scientists who created functioning miniature livers say their success is an early, but important, advance in the quest to grow replacement human livers in the laboratory.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. With the way replacements for things like amputations have been progressing (using Cadavers), full Organ replacement without the need for another human is around the corner too.

Habitable Hotspots on Mars? Volcano Vents May Be Signs

This story was updated at 2:29 p.m. ET.

The residue of hydrothermal vents on the flanks of a volcano on Mars could be signs of one of the most recent habitable environments on the Red Planet, researchers suggest.

Scientists investigated data gathered on the Martian volcanoes in the Syrtis Major region of the Red Planet using a powerful spectrometer on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. They focused specifically on deposits near the relatively young Nili Patera volcanic cone, which date back some 3.7 billion years to the Early Hesperian epoch, the beginning of the middle era of Mars' history.

When hot water flows through rock, it dissolves minerals, enriching the water with silica, or silicon oxide. When this water cools off and is exposed to air, a material called hydrated silica crystallizes, which is what the investigators unexpectedly detected in the deposits near Nili Patera.

The discovery suggests that the vents once served as tiny habitable pockets on Mars where primitive forms of life on Mars, if any ever existed, could have found refuge. To date, however, no definitive proof that Mars has ever supported any form of life has been found.

"When you have water and heat, as you have at this site, you have the opportunity for habitability — a place where conditions for life, if it was there, could have been supported," study co-author John Mustard, a geology professor at Brown University at Providence, R.I., told SPACE.com.

The fan shape of the deposits and their location in and around a volcanic cone also suggest they came from a hydrothermal system, he added.

"If you go to Hawaii or Iceland and you walk among the volcanic cones, you can see steaming vents and hydrated silica around them," Mustard said.

This isn't the first time hydrated silica deposits in Martian vents have been discovered, but it is the most intact set of deposits yet seen, researchers said. NASA's Mars rover Spirit also discovered a nearly pure deposit in 2007, they added.

On Earth, scientists think hydrothermal environments with silica deposits have significant potential for preserving microbial fossils.

In the future, the researchers hope to better understand how habitable this site might have been — how hot or acidic it was, for instance.

"We could also explore analogous environments on Earth, such as fumaroles on Hawaii or places in Iceland — --see if we can detect similar sets of chemical signatures from orbit and see what kind of biological communities are associated with them," Mustard said.

The study was headed up by lead author John Skok at Brown University. Along with Mustard, Skok and the pair's colleagues detailed their findings online Oct. 31 in the journal Nature Geosciences.

Wow thats pretty awesome find Mags.

But I have been reading and watching clips that suggest there are sturctures on Mars that life was there or maybe life is still there.Buzz Aldrin a famous astronaut believes there is a huge building on the moon of Mars.

These guys are offering free saucer rides.

Here's what Buzz Aldrin said and what he's talking about

'There's a monolith there - a very unusual structure on this little potato shaped object that goes around Mars once every seven hours.

'When people find out about that they are going to say, "Who put that there? Who put that there?" Well the universe put it there, or if you choose God put it there.'

Pretty interesting to hear a lot of former astronauts talk above UFO's and stuff. Edgar Mitchel has a lot to say. Really makes you question things.

Curious about those video's too Revolver...At work, so can't check them out till I get home

The Chinese video is over the top.

The Second one is a good find. Could be a coincidence but i've seen way to many coincidences over the years.

Funny stuff.


but, remember, there's so much stuff that gets written. 20 seasons, maybe 500 simpson episodes, and how many political spy drama shows have there been in the last 20 years? Thousands? Maybe over ten thousand?

It'd perhaps be even more improbable that none of them predicted anything than it is that a few of them predict something.

The twin towers (always shown on the left (jersey side photo) never on the right (brooklyn side photo) is a common place to put them in a skyline, and $9 is a common "cheap" number to use, so the Simpsons 9-11 kinda makes sense. If you were to design a NYC bus brochure to use on the simpsons, the 911 design they used isn't that uncommon or shocking an idea.

It's a cool vid, but I think, meaningless.


11-6-10?

why not, 10-11-6 (oh wait, that wouldn't work)

or 10-6-11



but, we'll see. 11-6-10 is almost here. I'd wager we don't see a nuke go off that day.

Since this thread is still alive I thought I'd post this:

We're about to collide heavy nuclei for the first time at the Large Hadron Collider (where I am now).
That was my focus when I was in NY at RHIC (Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider) on Long Island.

^Great post. The results won't likely be made public for Weeks, and the benefits for Months. But I'm excited still!

It has been indeed reported that Obama is going to India and all over Asia for 10 days. However, i'm hearing from alot of other unidentified "sources" that he is going with his family, 3,000 people, and war ships??

I haven't found that to be true except that Obama is going to Asia for 10 days. Found nothing on him going with 3,000 people.

It is, i do find it odd that they'd ban it though (not that Americans need anymore there brains warped anymore than they are.

I don't know, its seems awfully specific to me.
