Its fractions of pennies from the average citizen. FRACTIONS OF PENNIES. <br /><br />Yet you decry it like they're picking your pocket when you know good and well that the most of our money goes into defense.<br /><br />Also, its a cop out and a lie that presupposes just because the govt spends a little on charitable help for our fellow Americans, that somehow that negates you from doing it from the "good of your heart".<br /><br />It doesn't. The few pennies taken from you for charitible govt programs in no way precludes you from donating to your "hearts" content.<br /><br />Of course we all know the truth.<br /><br />If we let our poor and needy rely on the "good hearts" of you people, then they'd starve in the streets. <br /><br />POPE WORFEUS THE INNOCENTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-86655520656878523102013-03-29T11:30:26.780-07:002013-03-29T11:30:26.780-07:00I love how everything that points out conservative...I love how everything that points out conservative flaws is an "opinion piece" with you volty.

But the new research casts serious doubts on these claims, and should give a boost to confidence in scientific predictions of climate change.<br /><br /> The paper, published on Wednesday in the journal Nature Geoscience, explores the performance of a climate forecast based on data up to 1996 by comparing it with the actual temperatures observed since. <b>The results show that scientists accurately predicted the warming experienced in the past decade, relative to the decade to 1996, to within a few hundredths of a degree</b>.<br /><br /> The forecast, published in 1999 by Myles Allen and colleagues at Oxford University, was one of the first to combine complex computer simulations of the climate system with adjustments based on historical observations to produce both a most likely global mean warming and a range of uncertainty. It predicted that the decade ending in December 2012 would be a quarter of degree warmer than the decade ending in August 1996 – and this proved almost precisely correct.</i><br /><br />"within a few hundredths of a degree" ..... think about how improbable that would be unless the basic theory is correct.<br /><br />Then think about the future that the theory predicts, if we keep heating the planets climate. <br /><br />Not good if you have children or grandchildren .......clifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01789324243613548212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-22691022836848723642013-03-26T17:58:37.216-07:002013-03-26T17:58:37.216-07:00When you start to address these questions, honestl...When you start to address these questions, honestly, your mind gives pause and you realize that regardless of what you "believe" or don't believe, there is in fact an answer, and that answer is beyond our mortal comprehension. <br /><br />This of course opens the door to the supernatural, as whatever that answer is it constitutes the supernatural given all that we can comprehend, which is why some atheist scientists like to scoff at the very questions themselves.<br /><br />Because to confront them, is to recognize that which is beyond mortal comprehension.<br /><br />And they'll have none of that.I WORFEUSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-54304127157026288122013-03-26T17:20:54.885-07:002013-03-26T17:20:54.885-07:00Maybe, that's a theory.

Nothing? Fine, ..what's a nothing, and how far does this nothing reach? What there's a wall at the edge of that nothing? <br /><br />These questions make our heads hurt. They make atheists angry and cause them to define them as "infantile" and pointless. Which is of course the same answer most parents used to give us when we asked why is the sky blue. <i>"I don't know...it just IS!"</i> was the usual retort. Of course that question's answerable as we now know in adulthood (Back in the 60's we weren't so scientifically informed on such matters). <br /><br />And so to are the questions of "how far" and the question of "how can there be anything anywhere" and "what was first and how'd it get here" answerable. <br /><br />Because there is an answer. But for some reason, our minds are created in such a way as to not be able to even fathom a remote guess.<br />WORFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-75060771491473169162013-03-25T19:33:40.837-07:002013-03-25T19:33:40.837-07:00The question that eludes mankind, that to date has...The question that eludes mankind, that to date has never even been hypothesized on is where did the first "Stuff" come from, and how'd it get there. And when that's answered of course you have a new first prior to the first you're answering. <br /><br />The fact is nothing should be here, or anywhere, but then we're left with the nature of a "nothing". <br /><br />That it "always" existed is one theory, but one that is not scientific in any respect of the word. <br /><br />How long in an "always". Why is it here. And unlike some atheist scientists and their suppositions, why is NOT a religious or philosophical question. Its cause and effect. When I say "why" I don't mean what's the purpose as in some religious or philosophical sense of the word. I mean why as in what caused it. Nothing should be here. Yet it is. <br /><br />If it was always here we need to define an "always", as right now that answer constitutes that which is supernatural by scientific definitions. <br /><br />I don't have the answer, or even a wild guess, but no man does or ever has. Throughout all recorded history no man ever has even proposed the most wild guess as to how the first "Stuff" got here, and where it came from, much less how there could have ever been a "first" anything.<br /><br />That's the question that needs to be addressed, but unfortunately its to date, unaddressable. <br />WORFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-86158961398364149762013-03-25T19:27:53.738-07:002013-03-25T19:27:53.738-07:00I'm familiar with the theory, aka the "bo...I'm familiar with the theory, aka the "bounce", however like most theories it addresses a process, not an origin.

Some atheist scientists like to dismiss the question as stupid or meaningless (because they can't answer it), but of course in reality its the single most important question there is.<br /><br />What was the original "nothing", what constitutes a nothing, where did the first "something" come from and how did it get there.<br /><br />A lateral question is what's beyond the edge of the universe, and if the answer is "nothing" then what's that nothing, how far does it go, and what's beyond that.<br /><br />Those questions a few atheist scientists like to dismiss as "religious in nature", but that of course simply points to the fact that they see the only possible answer as being somehow supernatural. <br /><br />Dr. Tyson was on a discussion like this recently and he scoffed at the idea that these questions were unimportant, pointing out that simply because we cannot answer them (or even fathom them) doesn't mean they're insignificant. <br /><br />There is an answer to them, that is what compels me to always contemplate them.
