I'd agree with that. Also I would agree with what Thomas said. For the Bible fundamentalists out there, 'Pre-destination' appears mean that something is determined and then caused to happen through effort, rather than something that is observed and then declared. 'Pre' + 'Destination'...

I love my entertainments.

True its not conclusive. He definitely one-upped Leonhard Euler's proof of God. Euler's Proof of God

True, true. There's still hope though. Technological revolutions historically have been unhealthy, such as the Industrial ones. I know a little because of a book by Thomas A. Misa. Technology used to be thought of as always positive, as if it were automatic that tech would continue speeding...

Wil is talking about in the long run. He's talking about a time when pollution could completely upset the balance and destroy us all. I wasn't talking about this happening in the coming century (although it could). Lets suppose that the list of things does happen in 100 years. People have...

Just for you, Wil: Future Textiles - YouTube

The second video was awesome, but I just couldn't bring myself to endure the preacher. TITE INVERSION© : Fast Robot Hand - YouTube I think better textiles are the most important thing. Yes, the robots have a looong way to go before they are implemented for general labor, but I believe much...

Optimistically here is one path things could take: 1. New textiles will be invented that make 'Homeless' people at home anywhere. 2. Robots will replace most workers. 3. Food will be a simple matter of demand, not supply. 4. No jobs = much less transportation & consumers no longer impact fuel...

Now that I think about it, 5th Element isn't a very quote-rich movie. The first quote I remembered from it was "Chicken Good!" There are some others. Moonstruck "It costs money, because it saves money!" "I don't care! I ain't no freakin' monument to justice!" Cold Comfort Farm "Highly...

You mean that you know of, although 100% is an admirable percentage. It doesn't guarantee that you have reached the end of your journey. If you can be wrong once you can be wrong twice; and how do you know you have arrived at the end? I think you must admit that there could still be more...

Wil, did I ever tell you you're a frigg'n idealist? You're a friggin' idealist.

Did John Emmanuel Baptiste Zorg wear a plastic bowl on his head? Do rodents of unusual size (ROUS's) exist in the Fire Swamp? Is the Force strong with Luke Skywalker? In brightest Day! In darkest Night! No evil shall escape my sight! Let those who worship evil's might beware my power...

True, it was a good reply. I shouldn't detract from the main conversation.

lol :> So is Calculus.

Commercialism? I see what you mean, although I know through literature and firsthand of some exceptions. In particular a church doesn't even have to have a paid staff, and it can still go into a multi generational dispute. It can be all volunteer and still break apart. Commercialism is...

Aside: An extremely high number here in the USA but not so many in Canada, Mexico and other countries. I don't think religious freedom is the problem however. If legal religious freedom is the source of so much fragmentation then that is an extremely important finding. That would be utterly...

Sorry, I edited out the bit about backmasking while you were posting.

It will help to look at why the king of Babylon could be seen in this way. Here he is, an amazing king the most amazing ever, and he is good economically for the various countries (after conquering them). He provides a time of peace. The countries are the various stones mentioned in the...

Not mine. I do a fair amount of discussion about bible verses, so that would be inconvenient. First of all defining God is not compatible with it. The moment you have defined God as 'Extraterrestrial' you've already stepped outside of the Bible realms, since you have defined God. On the...
