  1. *cough* They don't keep aborting children to get the cells for most of the research. That's just flat out incorrect.

     

    When IVF happens, they create multiple embryos because it's still an inexact science, so they create a bunch and then try to implant a couple to see if they'll 'take' (which leads to fun stuff as multiples when more than one 'takes'.) When that happens, there are excess embryos which are then either 'put on ice' or discarded.

     

    Why can't we take stem cells from those that are, for all intents and purposes, dead anyway?

    Show evidence please...

  2. you're gonna have to learn to live with it. Universe ain't fair. If it was, I'd be rich.

    And I'd be the planetary ruler of some garden planet that also has the best technology in the galaxy. I'd make sure you're welcome there any time you want, and have run of the place...

  3. These "Christians" that think they know when the end is coming, obviously either didn't read their Bible, or don't really believe it... It says in there that nobody will know when the end is, and that it will come when no one expects it. If you expect it, it's a guarantee that it won't end then.

  4. Cell: He didn't reply. Dunno why, he hasn't explained.

    Email: That was how we solved the problem. Told him to get Trillian and he did.

    Skype: Neither of us use it.

    ICQ: Same as above.

    AIM: Again, same as above.

    Yahoo: Same as above.

    IRL: He lives in Australia, I in Norway. While we plan on meeting next year, it's not happening yet.

    Get IRC.

  5. That's good then I guess, I know of a lot of creationists that would disagree with you though. It being "un-natural" along with stem cell research etc.

    Stem cell research isn't bad either, it's just that they keep aborting children to get the cells for most of the research. They can easily get stem cells of similar quality from the placenta/etc that comes during birth anyways, or even better ones from adult humans, all without killing anyone.

     

    That, and they keep lying to you that fetal stem cells are "the best/only ones that can provide us with the right kind of stem cells".

  6. Also, Bullseye, if you're still reading this, I want you to know that "Rational Anarchist" is a contradiction in terms. You're trying to combine reason i.e. the primary tool of man's survival with Anarchy i.e. a system where the defining principle is the use of force, which is the polar opposite of reason.

    First off, Rational Anarchy is a title coined by Robert Heinlein. Read the article, not just the title.

     

    Second, Anarchy is defined as "lack of government". Anything beyond that single fact is not covered in the term "Anarchy".

  7. Somebody go watch Star Trek... (not the "Enterprise" series) That's how I see the problem of time travel/communications.

     

     

    What is causing the Pioneer Anomaly?

    Could be aliens... We may never know.

     

    What will happen to the current system of particle observation if there are observable components of matter or anti-matter smaller than the angstrom?

    Nothing should happen.

     

    Why aren't bladeless turbines implemented more often?

    Because they aren't really understood very well.

     

    What is the cause of consciousness?

    Unknown at this time. Some think it's the impressive collection of mini-processors (currently called neurons) combined with a massive memory storage area that causes it.
