Evolution takes place over millions of years and humans are part of that evolutionary tree. If you are interested in learning the scientific method, Thomas Kuhn's work is an excellent primer based on critical thinking. http://www.amazon.com/Structure-Scientific-Revolutions-50th-Anniversary/dp/0226458121/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1446427178&sr=1-1&keywords=thomas+kuhn

The paper in question does not state an absolute certainty, but is a summation of ongoing research.

Only persons who believe that intelligent design is responsible for human life. Modern science does not promote intelligent design, but evolutionary biology.

I read the paper published by Northwestern which has credibility. The pressures and temperatures are too great for their to be liquid water.

Research scientists did not state there is an ocean of water. The pressures are too great for there to be liquid water. Quote below is from the Northwestern site.

Actually, anyone can travel to Antarctica and hang out. However, the research stations are off limits and offer no assistance if one encounters problems.

You stated that governments want no one there. Your post makes no sense to me. What proof can you offer that the Google images are being tampered with?

You are saying governments do not want anyone on the poles? Are you making this up? There are major international research stations on Antarctica with research facilities and personnel. A very good friend of mine spent three months on Antarctica which was sponsored by the National Science Foundation.

Have waited far too long for this one!

I was thinking it might be some channeled communication which is suspect at best.

Perhaps some here wish to apply critical thinking so as to question the unfounded belief systems that are presented as fact.

Been listening to a lot of Zappa. Pure genius! His music progressed as opposed to being derivative and redundant.

The subject is in regards to the actual shape of the earth and not ancient belief systems. The shape of the earth has been carefully measured and therefor is a settled matter.

I have had much experience in life and am most likely much older than you. Furthermore, I have studied/practiced Buddhism and every other major belief system and found all belief systems (BS) wanting. Please stop the attempts to teach or cajole me into accepting your world view.

I have debated this issue with Buddhists on this forum many times. Your narrative is more in line with a condemnation with an overt preachiness. Speak for yourself, but please refrain from characterizing others as being delusional.

Must be another Buddhist in preaching mode.

If you care to speak for yourself, fine. However, to claim that all persons are delusional has no basis in fact and stands unproven. Furthermore, your condemnation is insulting to persons that think for themselves.

I see there are no answers at this time.

My response to this crazy thread.

Artistic expression.

There are no answers. The universe is phenomena and what is not phenomena.

This bunch has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the earth is flat. http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/cms/

All baby boomer families are dysfunctional? That is a ludicrous statement and you know it. I am tired of hearing how awful baby boomers are!
