Physics is 100% repeatable, by definition.
Jsbrads replied to Mat H Physics's topic in Science & Technology
The overall density of the craft doesn't matter. The mass of the craft does. F=ma & E=1/2mV2 It is true, aluminum foil placed flat on the table will not hurt a table, but (1) this isn't aluminum foil, it is aerospace aluminum alloy*, (2) the entire aircraft isn't formed of a thin molded sheet metal, that is just the skin (3) and when it cuts it is usually doing it edge on. (4) The structural elements are not designed for a point impact side load and can easily buckle without tearing. (5) WTC had thin pillars at its exterior and a thick core (which is the opposite of how most commercial buildings of a dozen stories are designed). (6) During a collision there is a lot of heat, and under the right conditions, a fire, once started, can be very hard to put out. Note: all the fuel wasn't at ignition temperature at the moment of collision. (7) The building is designed to sway in the wind. A high impulse collision can make the building sway too. If it wasn't the jet fuel, what caused all the smoke? As to Live footage or not, I was there, reality happened in real time. *Aerospace aluminum alloy is stronger (and a little heavier) than aluminum. -

Morals are right and wrong. It is just a word. If pornography kills off humans, it is evil. To destroy all human life is a level of evil rarely attempted by man. some people buy Fair Trade coffee, is their porn Fair?

The reality is that phytonplancton have many populations within the species, some are happier in higher ph, others in lower ph. Any change in the ocean environment like excess CO2 encourages a hungrier population to convert that excess CO2 into oxygen. We are also quiet lucky that solar output rose ending the little Ice Age. The extra energy can feed light to the phytoplankton and convert CO2 even faster. The refusal to allow people to use nuclear while at the same time complaining about CO2, gives the game away pretty quickly.

Women do become less Leftist after they marry, but I am not willing to waste a couple years of my life to try it out with any random woman.

Wait! If your payment of $5 puts you ahead of a poor farmer who got there first (and doesn't have an extra penny to spare) are you stealing the poor farmer's time?

Harm to society: Japan is replacing at .8 Distorting human mind: it isn't sex. Harm the industry causes: addicting women on cocaine and then pressuring them into unending sex work is a common technique. it seems to me, role playing with a partner is healthy.

Is Personal Happiness the Most Important Thing In Life?

Some abstract third party may not care. it is we who care for ourselves who seek what is best for ourselves. -
A nuclear WWIII will never happen. Dishonor will prevent it.
Jsbrads replied to Gnostic Bishop's topic in General Messages
Honor societies are a bit of a misnomer. because it is so hard to attain respect, requires lots of time and energy, and losing respect can be rapid and sudden, most honor societies have twisted motivations which aren't limited to cover ups, lies and murder. This of course ignores all the irrational actors, like Iran (who believe murdering others will grant themselves a great afterlife) NKorea (where lies are more common than truth and people believe falsehoods, propaganda and people in control are fairly insane) emotional actors like Pakistan, India, gamesmanship of Russia and China... -
Kane and Abel, plus cultural references. *Spoilers
Jsbrads replied to RichardY's topic in Atheism and Religion
As to Cain and Abel name origin, the Bible is in Hebrew... Hebrew is both sister language to both Arabic and Aramaic. -
Adam may have been Hermaphroditic, hence woman was not a separate creation, but the creation of woman was an act of separation of his two aspects, consistent with the description. not a bad link, tho rather silly over simplified and bad use of Hebrew language to call Adam a peoples. not sure if you had any other points other than these two.

Good question. The current level on science is fairly comfortable with the universe being created. And religion made the exact same claim first. note: the above does not talk about how the universe was created.

Point by point in reverse order: If you want to discuss a biblical story within the context of the story, then you have to accept the premise of the story if not the literality of every concept. I don't know how you are parsing the word Adam as Society or Tribe, Adam is also a congugation of two concepts A (Alpha) and Dam (blood), superego and id, spirituality and physicality (a mixture, a synthesis, and competition). I am not ignoring their eyes were opened, I am parsing that as their intellect has undergone a evolution. Prior that had one type of intelligence, and after they had acquired and additional type of intelligence. Is it possible for someone to have a purely intellectual understanding of correct and incorrect without emotionally comprehending the moral value of it? Imagine a sort of Autism, where a person can be rather intelligent in some ways but completely incapable understanding the impact they have on other's feelings, but they can calculate the exact monetary value of every action they engage in or choose not to engage in. Within the context of the Biblical story, Adam wasn't born, but carved from earth and breathed life, presumably created as an adult (in many respects Cain was the first human (born of a mother and father) I am not debating this detail with you, merely citing the story). Eve was also created, from man and presume created as an adult too. You are free to parse it as you wish, but they were in garden as adults, alone, without parents, without a prehistory. I am not against postpubescent teens marrying and making babies. Then they made atleast two babies in a relatively short time, and a third perhaps after a short pause.

Crowder abortion mock debate
Jsbrads replied to mgggb's topic in Libertarianism, Anarchism and Economics
freedom as our highest ideal, we have often said we would die fighting for freedom, enslaving a woman to bear a child for a rapist is so far from okay as to permit even the death of the child from a legal perspective. should the woman chose to bear the child and raise it in loving home, that is the actions of a saintly person. -
Tradition is that A&E were very young (very short time frame) no experience, great intelligence. The premise is that they were in Eden, how much time passed did not matter as they were not challenged in any way other than this one command. the premise is that there was no one else to see them but God. There was certainly no one more intelligent or aware than they.

I don't know this for fact, but as women grow hair (usually much less than men) a woman who has very little hair should create no negative impression from an evolutionary standpoint. There may be cultural preference, i.e. social pressure (fairly mild). Or a desire for a relatively younger looking women, less hair.

Jordan Peterson on MGTOW-related ideas
Jsbrads replied to Donnadogsoth's topic in Men's Issues, Feminism and Gender
Karen Straughan definitely pushes back on Jordan Peterson's somewhat dismissal of MGTOW despite his seeming understanding here. -
Had man (and woman) been obedient for a day, God would have guided them further. Also, there is nothing with being naked from an intellectual basis.

What if the police don't think there is evidence to jail the teacher? The teacher just loses his job and can't sell his home or support himself? would that be okay then?
