Politics / Re: We Have No Money To Fix Power Sector – Jebba Power Chief by MadMax1(f): 4:45pm On Jun 23, 2010
How does oil-less Ghana do it? There's constant electricity. The place is so different they might be on separate continents. And the revenue from electricity consumers nko, abi it's free? Why don't they privatise it, like some countries in Europe? Like the cell phone communication providers took over from NITEL, have multiple electricity providers take over from PHCN.

WENTWORTH MILLER

Some women almost died. Never did fancy him. No match for someone's blue steel. Of course he's gay, he's too bleeping beautiful to not be gay. English born Princeton graduate, he's charismatic, well spoken, very smart. An incalculable loss to the world of women, but our loss is your Gayin.

CYNTHIA NIXON

You know her as Miranda from Sex and the City. Another opportunity to vent: I can't stand Big. All the others had better taste, even the one who maried the rotund Jewish hairball. How do gay people stand straight sex scenes and straight people gay sex scenes in movies? The torment Heath and Jake went through in Brokeback. "No £*%*&*$ retakes!". Hilarious. Cynthia's gay.

kunleoshob, go and learn more about the theory on your own, and prayerfully consider it in tandem with your beliefs. It's just a scientific theory, nothing more, and it's the only one that explains many things science has been finding out so far in a lot of fields. You'll find that the more of science you investigate, the deeper your faith. It's been true for many people, including scientists. Albert Einstein wasn't a Christian, for which some fundamentalist Christians disgracefully harrassed him, but he believed in God, as did many great scientists. Hear one of the greatest scientific minds that ever walked this earth:

"I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangements of the books, but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God."
Religion / Re: The Evolution Myth And The ‘God Question' by MadMax1(f): 8:59pm On Jun 21, 2010
Is there anything in the theory of evolution that validates atheism, or disproves the existence of God? Does the theory have anything to say about 'intelligence' or 'God', or merely how organisms adapt over long periods of time? Is it a religious theory, or a scientific one? Why is it so hard for a few of you to stop treating evolution like some atheism credo, when it's not? Many atheists know better. They know exactly why they're atheists, and don't try to use anything in science as a lame crutch, because Science has little foundation to offer atheism, or any other religion.  Hinduism, Buddhism has accepted evolution as a theory, as has Catholic Christians and many other major religions. Do you see them abandoning God because evolution somehow 'proved' there's no God or no intent behind it? Do you know how far some physicists are going, in a bid to contain the statistical near-impossibility of our being here by 'chance'? Isn't religious belief on the increase, in spite of the acceptance of evolution? Have scientists cleared all the muddle in evolution, or discovered our origins? There are believers and atheists in science, whose fields are evolutionary biology, who don't draw fantastic extrapolations from evolution, or go beyond their facts. On what basis do you? Listen to yourself.

SIR IAN MCKELLEN

Yes, he of the mesmerizing screen presence. You've seen him as Gandalf in the LOTR trilogy, and Magneto in the X Men franchise. So strong is his screen presence LOTR producers cast long and hard for someone who could carry off the role of Eomer and not be overwhelmed by Mckellen. He's sublimely urbane, veddy English, very lovely, very gay.

Religion / Re: Obama's Unbiblical Declaration by MadMax1(f): 12:29pm On Jun 20, 2010
There isn't a 'Christian heaven' anymore than there is a 'Chrisbenogor heaven'. Even if Chrisbenogor believes in his heaven very hard for several minutes a day and is certain all those who don't have 'Chris' in their names are going to 'Chrisbenogor hell'. What's true for some may not be true for others, but what's true for God remains true always, and it's what has always counted, not our ideas of 'rational' atheism or our exclusive religious clubs.  It's a perfectly free world though, so everyone's free to think as he wishes. Just don't impose your beliefs and wishes on others, or cause them heartache because you want to play God and model all men in your own religious or non-religious image.
Religion / Re: Obama's Unbiblical Declaration by MadMax1(f): 11:22am On Jun 20, 2010
Deists arrive at their knowledge of God by pure reason, and don't accept the supernatural or miraculous as any kind of evidence. They believe God set up the laws that made and guide the universe and then retreated from it all. They aren't atheists because the word happens to rhyme with 'atheist'. There have always been atheists, even in the mythology rich and deeply superstitious ancient Greece of thousands of years ago. That great men believed in God from pure logic and reason alone, while atheists would claim 'reason' and 'rationality' as their exclusive property, does not make atheists their religious brothers in arms.  Bottomline: Deists believe in God, which meant America's founding fathers believed in God. But they weren't st.upid men and did not seek to impose religion on secular affairs that involved others that didn't share their beliefs. They kept their religion out of their politics, as the best political leaders do. 

Would it that the atheists who committed horrific atrocities, the mass murder of millions and forced  renounciations of God in mental hospitals in the name of eradicating religion and imposing atheism and communism had learnt from them. Mao may have killed as many as a 100 million of his countrymen in his pursuit of atheist communist utopia. Stalin didn't even bother with rhetoric, he just murdered non-atheists by the hundreds  of thousands and threw them in mass graves. One grave found in 1989 in mines near Chelyabinsk yielded the remains of 300,000 people. A grave in Volhynia found in October 1997 holds 15,000 bodies. Children were told in school to report any action that suggested a parent was religious. It was illegal to preach religion. All children were taught only atheism. Churches and temples were torn down or turned into stables or dance halls or museums. All books about religion were banned or burned. But never mind, atheism is inherently 'moral', 'rational', 'tolerant', 'superior' and 'humane'. Absolute nonsense. Atheism is a belief like any other, with its zealots and intolerants and psychopaths like any other, with its history of mass murderers and forced religious conversions like any other.

But the religious mindset that believes others must walk, talk and believe as he/she does, or such people are 'demonic'/ 'hellbound' is just disgraceful. Holier than thou religious police, Christ sees into all hearts and knows our motivations. He knows his own across all religions and all creeds, all of which are man-made any way. You'll get a shock when you find more humane and mankind-loving agnostics, atheists, buddhists and other non-Christians in heaven with God than the smug, intolerant, hate-propagating, self-righteous lot who think playing God and giving other people grief is what gets them there.
Religion / Re: Why Aren’t Christians Better Off Than Non-christians? by MadMax1(f): 9:53am On Jun 20, 2010
I've studied it. It raises more questions than it answers. It answers a few, but so do other holy books. I've learned as much from the Buddisht holy writing as from Christian writing. Interesting how many intersections there are between both, and with other religions too. But it's all just people writing what they think. Even the much-fiddled-with NT of my faith I've issues with. I find the virgin birth implausible. It's so pointless and adds nothing to who He is as a spirit being. Holy books are valuable because one can sometimes relate as a fellow human being and profit by others's insight and wisdom, not because  they're divine in any way and all life's answers are there.
Family / Re: Whats Ur Opinion On Adoption? by MadMax1(f): 8:45am On Jun 20, 2010
Why do you 'need' to adopt? We have two boys, the older is adopted, the biological one we had last year. We adopted because we fell in love and knew he was our son. We've been together for over a decade but married less than two years and plan on adopting wherever and whenever we meet our kids. Please know yourself enough to know exactly why you want to adopt. It's not just about you and what others will think (who gives a rat's tail) but about the child. You've been asked what'll happen when your own kids start coming. It's important you know the answer to that.
Fashion / Re: Product Reviews: Stop Wasting Money! Beauty Products That Actually Work by MadMax1(f): 8:24am On Jun 20, 2010
I use Bare Escentuals mineral foundation in medium beige, but only on very formal occasions. My face is sans make up most of the time. There are lots of good concealers. Even a light translucent powder in your skin tone should cover them. Don't worry about name brands. Just try on several at a cosmetic store and see which works best. Don't fret: Skin heals itself. The rashes'll clear off by itself since you've eliminated the acne source.
Fashion / Re: Product Reviews: Stop Wasting Money! Beauty Products That Actually Work by MadMax1(f): 7:25pm On Jun 19, 2010
Poor baby. Sorry about the rashes, but what's causing it? If your acne's stopped, where are the rashes coming from? Are you using too many products for your face, and your skin is breaking out? Skin needs just basic things and no stress. Clean, moistuize, protect with suncreen. That's all. Everything else over that doesn't do much, and may harm your skin even. Maybe you should reduce the things you use, and let your skin breathe as much as possible.Maybe it simply needs a little time. It should clear off by itself once the root cause is eliminated and your acne has stopped.

Religion / Re: The Evolution Myth And The ‘God Question' by MadMax1(f): 2:27pm On Jun 19, 2010
I hear what you're saying, Deep Sight. That the possibility of intelligent life is high and aliens may have developed means of inter-stellar travel we haven't, and are here. There's nothing wrong with that view. The problem remains that the evidence is scanty. There's no intelligent life in our solar system. Nothing travels faster than light in the universe. Light is 186000 miles per second. It's just not speed, but a measure of distance.I was reminding you of that, of the incredible distances involved here. Space is wrapped in time, and can't be separated from it. They're one single fabric. Time exists only because space does. If a civilization is I million light years away each trip from their planet to this place will take them a million years. And that, ONLY if they're travelling at the speed of light. They can't. It's not as if physicists sat down and decided that no one may travel at the speed of light. It's simply impossible in our physical universe.

Another thing is, during the cold war the US Military were secretly using weather balloons as spycraft, outfitted with cosmic ray deflectors and other things. They said these balloons were for weather measurements, which gave them an excuse to send them everywhere, but they secretly fitted them with high resolution cameras and signal intelligence devices. Notice in some of the UFOs you listed sighted, they were over the homes or offices of foreign diplomats? Some of the names they gave their 'weather balloon' spycraft was Skyhook, Grandson, Moby dd.ick, Genetrix, etc.  It's what a lot of people were calling alien UFOs, among two dozen other things.

How likely is it that aliens come here, manage to escape the detection of every satellite in space, every telescope in every home and observatory on the planet, and are then 'caught' by ordinary pedestrians looking up?

Here's why I don't think the abduction scenarios are external. Because it's been happening for a VERY VERY long time. Almost since writing began there have been stories of being abducted by strange beings and taken somewhere. The girls sometimes reported being sexually abused. Four hundred years ago a girl named Anne Jeffries reported being abducted by 'six little men' who carried her off to a 'castle in the air'. They had sex with her. It's one of many stories like this going back a long time, so it's hard to dismiss. But the scenarios changes depending on the cultural milieu. In the past it was castles or dungeons, now that we're in the space age, it's UFO aircraft they're taken to. It strongly suggests something internal, perceived by the senses, not physical, but perhaps 'real' in some sense. There's an intriguing passage in Genesis where the 'sons of God' looked down on the daughters of men and saw that they were fair, and came down and slept with them. I think Genesis 5:1. I'm not saying it's an alien abduction scenario, but even as at then they entertained notions of non-human creatures sleeping with women.  I don't think they're being physically abducted by biological creatures. They're either hallucinating, have been prey to suggestion or something else is going on. But it's not physical. If there's solid evidence of biological aliens here it'll blow my mind. But there simply isn't any.
Religion / Re: The Evolution Myth And The ‘God Question' by MadMax1(f): 6:43am On Jun 18, 2010
Isn't the physical body real too? The brain and its processes are real. RCC and a few other Christian denominations have a concept of 'soul', which is merely what the brain does. I know what you mean though. The spirit (which is not the 'soul') is real, and completely distinct from the physical body. But animals feel and do the things we do (our human emotions are in our brains). Our lust, anger, spatial sense, playfulness, parental investment, war, r.ape, fear, hope, happiness,etc. They have dreams when they sleep, just like we do. We're not the only highly intelligent species. Dolphins and Blue whales are very smart. But humans are the only species that are acutely self-aware and spiritual, and its brain and intelligence is unique among all the biological creatures on the planet.

The number of species that have actually gone extinct is 99.99%. If  a few species of 0.01% have high intelligence, then highly intelligent species,
perhaps smarter than we, may have existed in the billions of years of evolution on this planet, and vanished.  It's a hint that there's nothing inevitable or permanent about our biological presence here.

People tend to think the whole process was leading to us, that we're the high point of evolution but we aren't. The Nearnderthals were thought to be slow, bent, hulking silly hominids. It came as a huge shock to paleo-anthropologists to discover Neanderthals were smarter than us. We're in the same hominid family and come from pre-existing material, but we (homo sapiens) have smaller brains (1.4), than Neanderthals [1. 8.] They were the ones who discovered fire and made tools. We just borrowed their technology. Their line is extinct, but then in those times, 30 years was considered extreme old age. Probably why our hormones kick in in our teens. Reproduce before you die and all that.

They all agree somewhat that while humans and the hominid family originated in Africa and spread everywhere, the first Homo Sapiens (us) came from the Mediterranean, in modern day Israel. grin Biblical literalists might have a field day with that, but homo sapiens aren't the first breed of humans and not the smartest, and they evolved like everything else. New things may emerge and change what they know. It's always changing and they know little for sure. For now, they know we evolved biologically but haven't the faintest clue as to our origins. One hopes they make quick progress on that. They thought our origins were Devonian because one man claimed to have found our ancient fish ancestor, with five phalanges
from which evolved our five fingers. He refused to let anyone examine it for fifty years. The man died in 1998. When they brought out the fish, it had 8 phalanges, not five. It wasn't our ancestor. Everyone was in confusion again. Not only had the guy lied, he'd delayed progress in that line of inquiry for fifty years. They'll sort it out. They'll find it all out. But it all takes so much time and they bicker and disagree on findings so much before reaching consensus.
Religion / Re: The Evolution Myth And The ‘God Question' by MadMax1(f): 7:27pm On Jun 17, 2010
A wikipedia list of supposed 'UFO' sightings by a UFOlogist answers what exactly? I mentioned University students flew a weather ballon over a crowded park and those people flooded the media with reports of seeing UFOs. Anything they can't explain in the sky,from balloons to cloud formations, they report as a UFO. A car coming down hilly road at night was reported from a distance as a UFO. A farmer's silo was reported as a UFO. The sighter called scientists and everyone was excited till the farmer showed up, wondering what was going on. There are over 100 countries in the world. Is there a single country on your list of 22 that is not either North American or exposed to the American media? Of all the countries on the African continent, only South Africa, with a great deal of exposure to American news media, reports one sighting. All stories, no single physical evidence.

And this is a list of so-called 'UFO sightings', not alien abductions. American news media have staff and offices in every country on earth. If countries unexposed to their media and UFO ulture are experiencing alien abductions or seeing UFOs they'd make the connection. Every so-called alien UFO photograph have been scrutinized and found to be fake, usually household items photographed very close. Maybe if you compared the number of UFO sightings and alien abduction stories from North America, which are almost a million, with the reports from other countries, you might actually say something that makes sense for a change. You're tiresome.
Religion / Re: The Evolution Myth And The ‘God Question' by MadMax1(f): 6:04pm On Jun 17, 2010
I don't think any biological alien beings are visiting this place. Whatever is happening, if anything is, it's taking place in their heads. It might be real or not, since the workings of the brain isn't fully understood and I know there are non-physical beings and dimensions. But it doesn't seem physical, and some suggestion/ auto-suggestion is involved. Some Americans, with no prior alien abduction experience whatsoever are hypnotized by a psychologist or pyschiatrist and have the idea of alien abduction merely hinted to them. These people start spinning a detailed account of being abducted by aliens, and are sometimes so terrified their doctors bring them out of hypnosis. The terror and the emotions are real, but the incident never happened. Their brains cooked it up under a tiny suggestion from a psychiatrist. Imagine the suggestion possibilities from exposure to hundreds of abduction stories from the media and the whole UFO culture.

It's interesting that most of the abductions happen when they're in a sleep state or driving along a road at night (driving lulls one to sleep), the perfect brain scenario for autosuggestion. And in not ONE abduction has there ever been an independent witness to testify that, yes I looked out my window and saw Imogen floating in the air towards a spaceship. Not one single witness. Some claimed devices were inserted in their nostrils to track their lives or something. A few finally allowed theirs to be examined. They proved be made of everyday metals from this place, not a single metal or isotope alien to earth, as would be the case if it were technology from another planet. For every one story you get elsewhere (always exposed to American alien stories), you'll get countless thousands in America. 'Within reach of its media' means places where they receive American TV channels and other news media, and so are exposed to the alien abduction stories from America. The Americans know its their phenomenon, even if you don't.

As for your Elijah bible claims and the rest, I've confessed I'm not up to the challenge. You need braver souls for that.
Religion / Re: The Evolution Myth And The ‘God Question' by MadMax1(f): 4:53pm On Jun 17, 2010
I apologise for my annoying habits but you make far less sense than you give yourself credit for. You might make more sense if you reasoned more and ranted less. The bible is part of your evidence for the alien abduction stories restricted to America and the reach of its media. And in spite of these aliens' super-advanced technology they find only Americans interesting, since America has comparatively earth-bound, antiquated technology,(perhaps the aliens want to steal it), never mind that the Japanese can give Americans a run for their money technology-wise anyday. And you want to go head to head on this. That's quite all right. I'm sure you'll find someone to take up the challenge.
Religion / Re: The Evolution Myth And The ‘God Question' by MadMax1(f): 2:42pm On Jun 17, 2010
Deep Sight:

I am amazed that you imagine travelling at the speed of light is the only possible means of transportation between distant parts of the universe. Science is already exploring the possibility of such things as worm holes through which connections could be made. The simple fact is that in view of such staggering possibilities you must acknowledge that any beings who have had a head-start on us by millions of years would necessarily have developed more robust mechanisms of traversing the universe some of which may not even involve mechanical movement along a trajectory at all, talk less of travelling at any speed of light.

The possibilities regarding interstellar travel are legion: and the discovery of holes through which vast distances may be traversed in a millisecond is a significant possibility. Scientists talk about bending the fabric of space-time (i personally do not subscribe to that) to create wormholes. In view of these and other new lines of thought your submissions are out dated and altogether irrelevant.

This affirms to me that you are thinking in a box.

I am surprised that you dare limit or restrict with present possibilities what may be possible with another 200 years of scientific advancement.

Not to speak of millions of years of scientific advancement.

I tell you: what we know is a drop in the ocean compared to what is still unknown. For this reason i urge you to refrain from imagining that a being with a head-start of millions of years cannot complete a cross-universal journey. We have not been around long enough to state that in the least - we simply know too little.

Science is 'exploring' wormholes as a means of travel? No, they are not. They've never even seen a wormhole. They merely hypothetisize about it. And wormholess say nothing about speed. Nothing on our level travels faster than light. Do you have any idea of the distances involved in the universe? You'll get a headache just thinking about it. Some scientists are convinced, no matter what developments may occur, we will never travel beyond our solar system. Ever. Our solar system doesn't end at Pluto, but far beyond the Oort clouds two light years away.   

The speed of light is 186000 miles per second.One light minute is 186000 X 60. Imagine the distance in a light year. One thousand light years. One million light years. One billion light years. Some distances are computed in trillions of light years. And that's just for the visible universe, a tiny fraction of the entire universe itself. The edge of the visible universe is 900 billion trillion Light Years away. The universe is enormous beyond computing and incredible distances separate everything.

Mind you, most physicists are sure there's intelligent biological life in the universe. Drake's equation states the possibility of millions of civilizations in the Milky Way alone. Each would have evolved to find its planet uniquely suitable for life. The building blocks of life are abundant in the universe, needig only clement conditions and lots of time to spring to life. 

Here you are stating tha not only are aliens visiting this planet, you 'dashed' them advanced technology to plug any loopholes. You've never even seen an alien or an alien craft. There's no shred of evidence that biological aliens come here. But you've invented an alien being and given it a head start of millions of years. All from thin air. Science may not not know much, but even the wildest scientist knows not to go that far.

Why would aliens come to a planet that is poisonous to them, in which they would most certainly die? All there is are stories of alien abductions. Why is it that alien abduction stories are NEVER reported anywhere outside of North America or the reach of its media? They're telling themselves they believe in aliens and UFOs. It's not Unidentified Flying God or Unidentified Flying Religion. It's Unidentified Flying OBJECT. Where's the hard evidence?
Religion / Re: The Evolution Myth And The ‘God Question' by MadMax1(f): 2:58pm On Jun 16, 2010
Wirinet, you were miffed at something that wasn't meant for you at all. Are you a scientist? It would be great to have one here. What's your field? Atheist scientists come in two groups: the rational ones who dislike religion and all its man-made trappings but respect others' right to belief, as long as no one is being harmed.  Then there are the smug, superior ones who think they know everything, and are out to destroy religion under the assumption that science and religion are incompatible, and religion must be destroyed for science to flourish. They've fallen for the religious trap we all fall for: that what we believe must be what is true, and the other fellow is chasing shadows. You find people who believe feeling sorry for atheists, and atheists feeling sorry for those who believe. But belief is personal, whatever its basis, and science itself is religiously neutral. So for these scientists to propagate their beliefs in the name of science is very, very wrong.

We can't do without science. Scientists investigate the universe and tell us what they see. They build on the work of scientists before them, and scientific knowledge is increasing. But how very little science actually knows is shocking. And it's from this know-nothing standpoint that a few scientists go beyond their facts and take it upon themselves to decide for the entire universe that God does not exist. Belief, and its reasons, should be personal.

So you see, the cap does not fit. If I say 'atheist' it doesn't mean I'm referring to a particular atheist here, just like an atheist saying 'Christian' doesn't mean, of all the Christians in the world, I'm the one being referred to.

Lol. So females are science-challenged? If you have daughters you won't encourage their interest in science because they may not have the 'masculine brain' required for it? I don't have the patience for minute details and years dedicated to studying one worm or the other. Scientists are publication-mad. They write books and share scientific ideas. Everything they know are in books for anyone to pick up and read. The world wide web developed as an unintended bonus of a physics project. From cosmology to quantum mechanics to geology to evolutionary psychology to biology, it's incredibly exciting and makes you see the world and the universe in a whole new way.
