So what you are clumsily trying to assert is that the idea that there can be a true reality is based on the even more erroneous assumption that there is a God, or presumably a God's eye view. You never fail to amuse. On a percentage scale, around about where do you stand Chaz on the likelihood of t...

To know there is a god ,,??? can we know something that has no proof , should that be described as "believe" or "want" so Atto feels nicer believing that god is real , than not believing , NOTHING TO DO WITH REALITY , Atto feels nicer , thats all that matters ,Atto can sleep eas...

A bit of irony there, considering leaders have used religion to enslave, to fight wars, and even to commit genocide. Believe what you want. I just find it hard to argue intelligently with someone whose position is, "Trust me, I'm sure I'm right" It is ironic. Mans foolishness to follow su...

Yes there are lots of ways....but time is running out. What do you mean by this? There are vast reserves of hydrocarbons in the world, its that they are currently to expensive to consider ways to extract them compared to what we've currently got. With the speed at which fossil fuel is running out i...

n-fusion? Yeah so in tune with nature!!!! The suns natural! So is fossil fuels - what is your point? I'm looking around and don't see any naturally occurring nuclear reactions in my neighbourhood. That fossil fuel is running out. Alternative energy such as n-fusion will provide 'limitless' reserves...

why pump money into renewables ,,?? when ,,quote , "population has no way to sustain itself without the use of fossil fuels" Perhaps i should have stated 'currently' there are lots of ways we can sustain ourselves/ provide our energy requirements without fossil fuels , solar energy can co...

Many years ago i watched a BBC documentary called 'Prisoners of the Sun' ...at least i think that was its name. Some time ago i tried hunting it down on the web for a friend that was commisioned to write an enviro book, but couldn't find it. Anyway it makes it very clear how we humans, our populatio...

Well, explaining what has left him no doubt is a bit much to ask. But, I would be happy just for clarification of the heaven/hell thing. This boggles my mind. How would a benevolent god sentence someone to eternal torment for the actions he performed in the 100 or so years (or less), on earth? I kn...

Another seniors moment perhaps?

I think it a fairly established fact that a state-of-mind called 'lucid dreaming' exists. One of the ways I've heard is to fall asleep with the intention or injunction to look at ones hands in the dream then realise that one is dreaming. Get a good idea of what ones hands look like first mind. I'd ...

Adjective.

Thankyou...perhaps it takes such an irregularity to be truly wise.

look to Hiroshima and Nagasaki to see what the Soviets could have done to your little Island during the cold war had it heated up. Only a gun-ho country like the US with a self presumption of superiority and righteousness would do an act like that... I do this thing with words...take the 's' out of...
