  1. Celestial Qigong/Neigong DVDs

    I would like some verification also. I am considering buying the first DVD.
  2. "Mutations" and "Natural Selection"

    The only people that cite his work are creationists on the creationwiki site.

  4. "Mutations" and "Natural Selection"

    The scientific method will not allow just any hypothesis to be made to fit as you believe. That is the purpose of research, debate and peer review. Evolutionary theory is a set of proven hypotheses and nothing is being made to fit as you so erroneously believe. http://wilstar.com/theories.htm
  5. "Mutations" and "Natural Selection"

    I can't accept as fact these YouTube clips as reasonable arguments against established science. I seriously doubt any of the interviewed scientists have published their findings in any peer reviewed journals.
  6. "Mutations" and "Natural Selection"

    I would need to go to the library and look that up. However, what you fail to realize, is that science is not perfect and will never state findings in terms of absolutes. Science is an ongoing process. To pick out continuing research as you are doing, in an attempt to debunk ongoing processes indicates to me, that you may not have an education in basic science and how to think about it. Am I correct? Have you had any courses in basic science and math? Advanced college courses?
  7. "Mutations" and "Natural Selection"

    Please site the references to the journal Science. Obviously, your understanding of genetics is limited at best. I have enough of a science background to know when arguments don't make sense and are re-framed to reflect a certain bias as your arguments are. Scientific theory is based on fact. Your pseudoscience is not based on fact.
  8. "Mutations" and "Natural Selection"

    Exactly, what are their names? Published papers in reputable scientific journals? You are unable to even defend your own arguments. BTW, I have a B.S. in Horticultural science with a good background in science and 50 hrs. math. I obviously require more than the pseudo science rant you are so invested in.
  9. "Mutations" and "Natural Selection"

    The clips you posted offer no credibility, whatsoever. In fact it is impossible to even know who these so called highly qualified scientists are. Professor Simonte? Who is that? The unknown scientist supposedly refuting dating of volcanic ash knows nothing and his argument is completely bogus. Who conducted these tests and where are the journals with the data from these tests? No scientist in their right mind will obtain samples that may have deteriorated from ocean water. Dry land would be the most obvious choice.
  10. "Mutations" and "Natural Selection"

    What are you trying to prove? Your arguments are for intelligent design, which is not a theory and further, is not science! What you advocate here is creationism.
  11. What Books are by Your Bed?

    Just started my 6th reading of 'Radix.' Probably will read again all his other books this year.
  12. What Books are by Your Bed?

    Haven't heard that one for some time. It was mentioned in a Michael Douglas movie "The Game."
  13. The Genius of Charles Darwin

    The use of the term "monkeys" in the modern day sense does not in any way describe our origin. The fossil records show that we descended from a type of simian that I believe was four legged. When I find the link, I will post it. The book referred to in the above quote, is not science.
  14. Exactly why do you both believe that should happen? Allowing religion to influence science with it's subjective biases is irrational. The major problem with religion is that the purveyors of, frame their debate in absolutes. Science does not. Here is a link to a Nova special on intelligent design and the move to integrate intelligent design into the public schools. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-404729062613200911#
  15. @Non, There is nothing wrong with being more yin. Look at these musicians. Most male musicians are. These guys are babe magnets. Take a look at the music threads from a few weeks back and you will see what I mean. Robert Plant is very yin and still is. I saw him two years ago live. Absolutely incredible! The third link is actually a better version. However, it won't imbed properly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flcF4vNa61U http://www.guitar-tube.com/watch/led-zeppelin-since-been-loving-you
  16. Dr. Michio Kaku discusses the severity of the Fukushima disaster.
  17. Energy Vortexes on the Earth?

    Indeed it is a big tourist trap. We usually eat at the UFO diner.
  18. OK Mr. Falwell, what are your views?
  19. That storage concept is brought to you by GE and many of the old reactors here in the U.S. have waste stored on the roof under a corrugated roof. How stupid can humans be! According to this report, the disaster is worse than Chernobyl! http://www.democracynow.org/2011/4/12/nuclear_catastrophe_in_japan_not_equal
  20. I saw that this morning. Truly a horrible tragedy out of control.
  21. Lighten up man! There is no right or wrong way. Quit listening to the ego bashers, as if they know anything.
  22. Women can make life very difficult!
  23. One of Ken Wilbur's buddies has written some books on maleness and I don't remember his name. Anyone know who it is? I found it. I don't agree with everything he has to say. However, his book "Way of the Superior Man" has some excellent points that I use all the time. http://www.deida.info/books-and-audio-david-deida
  24. If you think for one minute that everything is just love and light, then think again. The universe doesn't work that way and life isn't fair in anyway shape or form. Don't take my word for it. Just observe the workings of nature and draw your own conclusions without prejudice. Women are biologically hard wired for procreation and no matter what radical feminists, spiritual teachers or whomever tells you, that is the way it is. Any text on evolutionary biology will confirm that fact. The drive to reproduce will generally override all other rationality in humans and the choice in mates always appears irrational. Always, there are many hurt feelings in this process. That is just life!
