2 days ago: At a certain point in this thread I think there was a misspelling that may have contributed to the way the discussion turned out. Francios said "defending instead of reinterpreting them and attacking your versions of them" but I think he meant "defending instead of reinterpreting them and *attaching* your versions of them". Just a thought.

2 days ago: I think we do need to change the way children are taught. We now have the ability to cater to all the different ways to teach, so no child can truly be left behind... Also the text books need the unbiased untouched truth so we can grow as a society. Not become a product of what someone wants. Teacher are a great attribute to society, we the ppl must step up and demand more from the school districts!

5 days ago: I hope you're still around Wesley, Ted sort of slipped out of my mind for a while and I forgot about this conversation.

If you're still here and willing to continue this conversation, perhaps you would be willing to answer a few questions for me. I would be glad to extend you the same courtesy if you have any questions for me, especially if you're willing to discuss your religious experience.

I simply wanted to close the topic of origins first by stating that I'm not so sure we're in agreement. I would say 'we currently can't explain what happened before or even exactly at the big bang'. At first glance you might be tempted to agree with my position, but then if we don't know, why are you saying you do?

Anyway, i'm happy to move on to a different topic. Shall it be questions or did you want to mention something specific?

5 days ago: Alright Teru, let's look at your 'logical proof'. You should be aware that the very argument you give is often used to illustrate a logical fallacy of structure. Let's replace your statements by different statements with the same structure.
4. All living things have living tissues
4'.All chickens have feathers

5. The earth has living tissues
5'.Arrows have feathers

6. Therefore the earth is a living thing
6'.Therefore arrows are chickens

Does 6 really follow from 4 and 5? This is one of several problems with your syllogism, items 1, 3, 7 and 9 are either undemonstrated or false. I'm sorry I think you'll have to go back to work on this one, this 'logical proof' is actually not one, at all.

Nov 1 2009: It is very motivational! Although nothing new on it. Steiner, Montessori, Vigotsky, Ericksson, Neils, Anna Freud, and so many thinkers had spoken about the educational system being a academic, copycat and not a thinking space or a place where a child should explore and create. All the "liberal" schools were very criticized, but actually they built something more humanistic and more focus on creative mind. If you grew up in a "conventional" school just visit the "liberal" schools, you might find one very close to your home.

It is interesting how cognitive thinkers denied other thinkers from different epistemological believes. Finally we are getting back to the 19th century questioning emotion value again.

Oct 31 2009: wonderful ....It is a great enlightenment ..

Oct 30 2009: 2 things are going on: Melanin protects against UVA, which breaks down Vitamin B in your blood. This is bad for reproduction and survival. Your skin uses UVB&C to produce Vitamin D, also required for survival, breastfeeding and bone health. Near the equator you don't need a lot of exposure to produce Vit D, but you need lots of protection against UVA: darkly pigmented skin. Far from the equator, UV drops off and people need more exposure to produce Vit D but require far less protection against Vit B loss, so lighly pigmented skin. In between, b/c of the Earth's tilt, seasonal variations of sunlight require seasonal protection and lack of protection: olive colored skin and people who can tan.

Oct 30 2009: The earth is not a cell.

Oct 28 2009: Sweet sound to listen about it when i listen i can learn world new and how they speak and how they presentation. if you want to listen it you ca download it after you can listen you ask question by yourself because i get knowledge from it i try to download it after i will listen in my free time.

Oct 28 2009: really very informational i liked Geoff Mulgan sppech on Post-crash, investing

Oct 27 2009: ven dan,
I don't have to create god for god to exist. If there are 2 people in the only universe: both atheists and nobody else. Does god exist? What does the math look like?

Oct 27 2009: RE: Morgan Reedy

"The Earth is a biological entity."
My research direction is logical. It takes time for scientists to digest.

Compare the Earth with a PLANT cell.
Geology gives us hints.
PLUTON is a good start.

Life cycle embeded inside a CELL.
It refers to the BIOSPHERE.

Oct 26 2009: Let me tell you this way. Out of billions of years of History of Earth, human race is evolved from 10,000 years(neolithic man AKA cave man) not as perfect as Adam and Eve.
If you do math about the percentage of land and water ( high school kid says 28 :72). But the average height land creatures can reach say 10 meters and average depth of ocean is about 3000meters.. So the real ratio is 28*10(280) :72*3000(216000) out of which only about 20 % of land is occupied by human beings. that means 14:216000. and this 14 % is further devided by christians, Muslims, Hindus etc. So any religion in this world represent most insignificant part of the Earth. So insignificant part of any entity can never create a God Who is believed to be the creater of Earth

Oct 26 2009: The earth is a planet. True. It contains both living and non-living things. True. The earth is not a biological entity. True. When the sun engulfs the earth and kills all living things on it, it will still be the earth. Triple-Dog True!

Oct 26 2009: Living Earth Theory (a simple Chinese metholodology)

1. No living things can be created without any living tissue. - true
2. No living things can be created with non-living tissues only. - true
3. We can create living things with living tissues only. - true
(TRUEx1)

4. All living things have living tissues. - ture
5. The Earth has living tissues. -true
6. The Earth is a living thing. -true
(TRUEx2)

7. No living things arrived from space up to now. - true
8. There are living things on the Earth. - true
9. All living things on the Earth come from the Earth. -true
(TRUEx3)

10. (TRUEx3) As a result, the Earth created all of us (by birth).

The Earth is a biological entity. Life cycle carried out by BIOSPHERE. The CORE is similar to the CELL NUCLEUS that control cell activities.

Oct 25 2009: 1. The conditions that allowed life to come into being contained no living tissue.
2. Life sprang from these conditions.
3. WE have not as yet created any life-form.
4. All life-forms die when their cells are no longer viable.
5. The earth does not have living tissues. There are life-forms on earth.
6. The earth is not alive. The earth contains life-forms.
7. It is possible that some of the conditions which allowed life on earth arrived in/on space debris.
8. All life on earth came to be on earth.
9. The earth is the place where we were all born.
10. Golly!

Oct 25 2009: The comment made by red about clear solar panels being used in green houses is fantastic.
Even a small green house in the back garden could make a huge difference!

Oct 23 2009: [WELL]
StiLl I'm wonderin that How we take decision in a rapid way..? n why most of them r incorrect../

Oct 22 2009: RE: Francois Boisvert

"I don't want to dismiss your views simply from them being marginal, but if you want me to take you seriously, you're going to have to walk the walk and present us with rational arguments and evidence."

How about a logical proof? (Chinese Methodology)

1. No living things can be created without any living tissue.
2. No living things can be created with non-living tissues only.
3. We can create living things with living tissues only.

4. All living things have living tissues.
5. The Earth has living tissues.
6. The Earth is a living thing.

7. No living things arrived from space up to now.
8. There are living things on the Earth.
9. All living things on the Earth come from the Earth.

10. As a result, the Earth created all of us (by birth).

Oct 21 2009: Desertification is a globalized shifting force.
It is also a process "hard" to revert.

(According to my hypothesis) Desertification is a dominant force in the process of aging of the Earth. In fact, aging is an UNRECOVERABLE natural process. We have no alternatives but to slow it down. Any measure is almost useless to the problems already occurred in the natural process of aging. The eco-system is a unity. Each part is cohesive to the rests. If one of them collapse, chain effects will occur. Similar to our bodies, we cannot save any organ from being exhausted eventually.

Life must have an end. The end is exactly a physical death.

Back to the topic, precautions are required. Prevention is the only way to protect our ecosystem. I mentioned the term EXTINCTIONS a number of times because we can observe the end (DEATH - a natural process of lives) of the planets from those nearby (i.e. the Mars). "Live and Death" is an inevitable costs of LIVES - science can do.
