Depends on your definition of "planet"...

My definition is, if it has a diameter of over 500mi, has a definite solar orbit, (not planetary/lunar) is not in an obvious 'belt' of some kind, and is within 5 billion miles of the sun at Aphelion, then it is a planet.

The IAU definition is different however... IAU's definition of "planet"

Why is that in my quote? I did not write that, lol.

Bad edit on HIS part, not mine... lol

My parents are away on a retreat, so I now have the house all to myself for the entire weekend... Party anyone?

Let's bring out the beer and snacks and the dancing girls in cages.

No room for the cages, but the girls sound good...

For the "end of the worlders", that date you got in your head for the end of the world? Can I enter into a legally-binding contract with you stating that, effective the day after this date, that I then own your stuff, whether it's cars, money in the bank, house, etc?

Most of us non-Mayan-calender-nuts would like a few of those contracts as well...

In the immortal words of Inigo Montoya and your use of the word "evolution":

 

"I do not think it means what you think it means."

 

So, define 'evolution'. In your own words.

Not in mine, but in the words of the teachers in 99.9% of the public schools in America.

Try to understand, it's not about the theory itself, it's about what is taught in the schools, and when it's taught to the children.

Sure. Here's an abridged list:

• Uranium-lead
  
• Samarium-neodymium
  
• Potassium-argon
  
• Rubidium-strontium
  
• Uranium-thorium
  
• Fission track
  
• Chlorine-36
  
• Argon-argon
  
• Iodine-xenon
  
• Lead-lead

 

And so on.

And how often do they actually use those? I personally know of the methods, but have yet to see anyone use them for fossil dating.

Ah, I see. So, any flood is Biblical.

Are you trying to miss the meaning of what I post?

Okay, I'll fix the poll again

And I allow re-voting.

Thanks, and it looks good now.

You do all realize that each Cuda Core in GeForce cards is equivalent to 4 Stream Processors in the Radeons right?

That means that the GTX480's 480 Cuda Cores is equivalent to 1920 Stream Processors. However the GTX5XX series has better performance in the Cudas, and makes it perform at almost 5x...

Ok, so I might torrent it...

he's playing through Half-Life without the HD pack

Wait, there's and HD pack for HL1?!? Where? I want!

Evolution != Speciation

 

Define your terms.

What?

The mere fact that carbon dating isn't the ONLY form of dating shows that your complaint is debunked.

And what other methods are those? The rock surrounding the fossils is dated by the fossils in said rock, so you can't use that one...

So. No evidence of the Biblical flood.

If you take the biblical flood as a literal story... But for most people in the past: world = everything they knew. (usually that meant about as far as they could see from the top of the nearest Date tree)

Activision dumped this title in the long long ago so I am not sure how copywrite goes.

If it's not being supported and it's over 7 years old, it's likely abandonware.

Abandonware Definition

My evidence is in the post you quoted. If you're not exactly the same as your parents, then that's evolution.

So every generation is a different species? If not, then how does this prove evolution?

Your complaint about carbon dating has been summarily debunked by thousands of scientists. Carbon dating is only one of MANY methods of radiometic dating.

Where/when/how was it debunked? There have been several independent studies broadcast on the Discovery and History channels, and there was something in Popular Science about the inaccuracies of C14 dating. (not inaccurate by a few days or even months, but by a varying percentage as high as 99% inaccurate)

What evidence do you have of the Biblical flood?

http://www.nationalgeographic.com/blacksea/

I have provided evidence. Look at my post.

Saying there is evidence doesn't show me any evidence.

Also, can you repeat for me your evidence? There's so much that has been posted here that I don't even know where to begin. Can you provide me with a beginning?

Post #1 in this thread.

You better allow revoting, since when you changed the votes mine ended up stuck on the Gluon Gun.

Oh, and it's Tau Cannon, not gun...

There are literal truckloads of evidence for evolution but not a single shred of evidence for creationism. Want evidence for evolution?

 

Look in a mirror. Then look at your parents. Are you exactly the same as them? No? Then that "proves" evolution.

Show me your evidence, and show me how the evidence I provided doesn't exist.

You look a bit like James Hetfield there, you know?

Never been compared to him before... lol

Rocking goatee, dude. Although the mustache looks kinda silly. I'd grow it some more, but that's just me.

Thanks. The Mustache is actually fairly thick and long, but nearly invisible close to the roots... Hard to see it in pictures.

How about that thing about some idiots wanting to make Pluto not a planet?

The shit. Hit. The fan.

You shat while dreaming?

I had a nice dream last night... I was in charge of a revolution of sorts, and started building an immense underground tunnel network. We had just built a couple dozen small groups of rooms for housing the few thousand of us that were active fighters, but we were in the process of designing a massive underground complex that would house a couple million people. The designs were very complex, I doubt if I could duplicate them in under a year, but the tech exists, and could work today. (yes I checked on it immediately after waking up, yes I know I'm a nerd)

I then jumped ahead to walking through the place, and everything was different from the designs, including a couple of waterfalls that fell up instead of down, and some loops in the walkways that would require the ability to manipulate gravity to walk down... (in the dream I could affect gravity in that way apparently)

And now it's on my Christmas list.

Only costs about $15000 on the black market, and will kill you if you aren't careful...

I still have yet to see any transitioning fossils from anything, to anything else... I've looked quite hard to find a decent one, but they are all faked from what I've seen.

I'm depressed most of the time.

As I said in another thread, I'm just too depressed to bother with suicide... It's too depressing.

You know what picks me up? Being able to sit and do nothing for 3 days, without consequences. Works without fail.

the topic title could probably do with a change to reflect the new poll options.

Edited. And made it be a maximum of 3 votes. (choose your top 3) I'm going to add a couple other movie series' as well later on, after I decide there is or was a following big enough to warrant it.

I'm not putting a "none of the above" option in the poll... Unless you want it at the top where it mean zilch...

My parents are away on a retreat, so I now have the house all to myself for the entire weekend... Party anyone?

Those "genres" are also in WMP, but they still aren't genres...

And why would anyone use iTunes in the first place? It sucks...

I'd like to say this is spam, which it is

How is it spam?
