Applying Science to Past Events

Quote of the day: Awesome! Yes some of them do, as do some scientists, but not this one. If I am wrong it may not mean I am lying. Please don't resort to name calling, it's stupid.My point is humans seem to need some kind of faith.
Whether religous or other.Maybe once you find God, you will feel differently.
Peace.

What species have we witnessed forst hand to change?And how does evolution attempt to explain how intelligent life came from non-intelligent life. Please don't repeat the theory.

I couldn't agree more.
Just curious, how is it that you looked for 20 years and found nothing?
What religion? Not that it matters a whole lot, because you don't need a religion to find him, but a religion could keep you from him.

You don't have to curse at me, we are just conversing.
My common sense goes a long way. This whole common sense thing got way out of hand, and I learned some things by the way everyone has reacted.Even the story about the catwalks, just proves my point. No matter how much engineering, or science you put in to it, there is something you could miss. My common sense, gained from years of practical experience is sometimes more valuble that what you learn on paper.If I had a nickel for every idiot that came out of refrigeration school, and thought he was a mechanic based on what was taught to him, I'd retire.

Yea, but when did we start thinking for ourselves, separate of using our brain for normal body functions, and a desire to eat?

Because faith is more than a word to me. It is a feeling. Faith is believing in something that is not proven. I have stated many times there are different levels of faith, or how you achieve that faith might be different, but its still the basic feeling of faith.It seems to me that we all need to have some kind of faith in one thing or another. I haven't meet someone who does not have faith in something. Justifying faith with evidence doesn't say much, when in light of new evidence an outcome can change, then everything you had faith in would have to change also. People commit suicide over things like that, religious and non-religious. Think of how many people had faith that they would never loose there fortune in the stock market, then during a crash jump off a roof. They lost all their faith in themselves, amoung other problems.

I agree with you.
But that still doesn't stop engineering disasters from happening.

Thats my field, and I am qualified to tell whos a jerk in it or not.
What I'm saying is sometimes (maybe even most of the time) all the training in the world, cannot make you smart, or give you common sense.On the other hand, those who do pocess good common sense, and increase it with knowledge, can get smarter.Wouldn't an IQ test be a better test of how smart a person is? Or his/her potential. I'll take one for the group, lol.This message has been edited by riVeRraT, 09-24-2004 08:44 PM

I cannot give a qualified answer to that.

Your going to have to believe me, when I say, I DO NOT put myself above others. I have never done that before I got saved, and I certainly wouldn't do it now. All I have is yours, or anyone who wants it from me.I will take the test, next free chance.
