Well I would like to think that science is based on evidence and not just theories. Would it still be science if it relied only on theories ? Because theories can be wrong.

Take physics for example, that is a science, there is proof things work a certain way, they can be replicated. Chemistry, same thing, there is proof that some chemicals cause a specific reaction. In medicine, same, science based on evidence is what we have seen.......Some might consider space exploration as science, though the lines blur when you hear stuff like the big bang theory, supposed life on other planets, how long something existed, like this star X has been around 6 billion years - this is theory.

As far as God, well this can be a long debate - it's all about faith - one can believe in something that they have not ever seen - the same way we do not see the oxygen that we breath yet it's there - Look at Near Death Experiences, this is another hot potato - Is it evidence of life after death ? Hardly - science has evidence against it though not PROOF.

Take life for example, do we really exist ? We could be in a simulation - there could be ONE person experiencing the perception of others (theory). The air is full of invisible things we have PROOF of, such as radio waves, UV, rays, etc, when something has no PROOF, it becomes FAITH. When reading scriptures, it is easy to see the exact things are happening in real life today - NOW even if one might assume the scriptures were written by humans, these were written a very VERY long time ago - so it's amazing how humans would have predicted with such amazing accuracy all events to come thousands of years later - so this is what is called compelling evidence, THOUGH not PROOF by definition - SO this is why it all comes down to faith - one could also debate for a long time proof - though reading enough of the scripture one can draw conclusions that there is indeed proof - it's just that right now there is so much evil overpowering ALL good, so for some it is hard to believe in God, and this is one thing that is also documented in scripture, how a large number of people will lose faith once evil really takes over, and it's happening today.

It's hard to debate about God - if a person is not of faith, it is their privilege and free will - it's very unlikely that a person would change their mind - there are cases of non believers that became believers after unusual events, and the other way around is true too.

There was a science documentary alleging that science has compelling evidence that we have a "God" region in our brain that makes us believe in a God. It is claimed that we have this region in order to help with our lives, NOW, this is a theory, now if it is true, then who created us then ? The aliens ? And then who created the aliens ? and then who created God ? You see it is impossible to know the right answer - so the easiest way to solve this equation is that NOTHING exists NOWHERE, reality is an illusion, consciousness is an illusion, we are just in a dream both awake and sleep - BUT there comes another tricky part - who created this illusion and simulation. SO as self comfort one might wonder, is it better to believe in God or just believe that all this shit we go through in life is for nothing.

Science knows we have a physical body and senses, so from there, everything we touch, see, smell, hear is processed by the brain - without it, there is NOTHING - so does that object we touch really exist ? or is our brain converting just pure energy into the sense of something physical.

These are debates NOBODY can win

Small guy, slim, short blond hair, very nice to talk with, sounded female, laughed like a female, and walked like a female. Then one day after I had worked midnights I was ask to pull a double in the wing he worked. I said yes and at lunch time, being very glad the shift was over, I noticed a heavy set woman with a little boy. She walked past me and up to the nurses station. Turns out, it was the 'queers' wife and son. I went back to the nurses station and sat down at the same table they were at. I was doing some charts. She was as nice as him and the little boy was cute as a button.

Moral of the story, don't place bets.
I would have lost.

BIG TIME Yeah I agree 100%, one can easily be fooled - it's called stereotypes - some people may show signs of being gay, but are far from it - signs like how they walk, talk, sound, look, etc, because people have made a mental image of what "gay" is supposed to look like, walk a certain way, talk a certain way, etc............. There are guys with high pitched voices, that lisp like there is no tomorrow, AND YET they are straight, but because it is unusual for guys to be like that, they are automatically labelled - YET you have some guys with deep male voices and exhibit no signs, and they are gay, you would never think they were - Problem is, a straight guy who has a gay voice and lisps, is going to have a mighty hard time to convince others he is straight - There are also guys who move their hands up an d down when they talk and lisp, you know \/\/\ and yet straight - Personally could give two Fs less what orientation people are as long as they don't harm others or try to convert people. Some guys are naturally effeminate it doesn't make them any less a straight guy. THE SAME that there are some women who ride motorcycles, drink beer, burp and like picking their teeth in public, and cuss like sailors, it doesn't mean they are not straight.............and well we see more and more of that today - Once upon a time, the male was labelled as BAD and female as being GOOD.............Today wowwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeee! times have change a lot

Quote:
You know a lot of girls would be labeled tom boys if they liked to climb trees, catch frogs, etc.
Boys on the other hand, if they did anything labeled as female, they were automatically called a queer.

Yeah exactly - some guys are born with higher pitched voice and naturally lisp - but they have a wife and 24 kids........one can easily be fooled.

Today you have females into streaming and videogames, something that was once thought to be a GUY thing

valerie wrote: Barker had no control over The Price Is Right when he was ask to host the show. A lot of people think Bob Barker was the creator and first host of TPIR. He wasn't. He had no to little control over the show. He was simply the host. So if they gave away fur coats, he had no say in that.

I know he wasn't the first host nor did he control the show - They DID eventually make him an executive producer in 1988 after the death of the original producer (that is quite a promotion going from host to executive producer). He started in 1972..... However if he was animal activist he could have refused to give a fur coat and quit, or if he knew ahead of time the actual prizes, he could have refused the job although I must admit that maybe in those days having a job offer of that type was a HUGE thing Now to me I always believed Bob Barker would work till he dropped dead on the show - meaning never retire - I still wonder till this day if his "retirement" was more of a forced one - There were documentaries about conflicts on the show, and how he did not see eye to eye with producers, and then the allegations from former models came to haunt him and CBS, one of those cases was dropped, but allegedly he did settle an undisclosed amount for another case - SO sometimes I wonder MAYBE CBS wanted to target a younger audience, maybe they wanted to change the format of the show - so he made Bob an offer he could not refuse - OR it could be the opposite, Les Monves BEGGED him to stay a little longer and Bob said "Nope my time has come" - They wanted him to dye his hair, to which he refused, apparently having hints of grey / white in your hair was frowned upon on TV............Guess times have changed

One thing for sure, Drew Carey is not the right fit for the show now - I mean even Ellen would have done a better job Rumour has it that Rosie O'Donnell wanted the gig......... She would have done a better job too !

Quote:
I don't know when Barker actually took over the show and could hire who he wanted, fire who he wanted, and allow the prices he wanted, and have his say about the pet population and having pets (usually dogs) as guests.

Bill Cullen was the very first host.

He took over as executive producer when Frank Wayne passed away, in 1988. Whilst technically Bob could call the shots, he was not the only one - there were many people involved in making the show, I'm pretty sure it is a group decision thing, there were many executive producers, not just one, Mark Goodson, remember him, who can forget the iconic "A Mark Goodson Television production" at the end of every show. I'm pretty sure Goodson had the last word. As far as the making of the show, prizes, etc, there are MANY people involved, no one person can take all these decisions alone. Bob Barker was a God send for CBS - So I'm sure they gave Bob a lot of flexibility and decision making powers......... He categorically refused prizes conflicting with his animal rights convictions and of course every other producer had to cave in, in the end the one person that called the shots was Les Monves, and he loved Bob Barker - I mean sure, he made CBS a shit ton of money Game shows and reality TV are inexpensive to produce, unlike scripted shows that costs several MILLIONS of $ per episode, so yeah - from what I know about Networks, any changes or decisions about the actual show had to go through CBS (Les Monves at the time) - any changes to a show can be a deal breaker for a TV network - so a network exec has to sign off on those changes. Les Monves and Bob were good friends, so yeah I'm sure Les trusted Bob a lot, if Bob wanted something, he usually got it - MONEY TALKS I dunno if Drew Carey has the same power, probably not - at times he appears fake, he is nowhere even close to Bob.

Anyhow let's hope Bob at least repented for his alleged sins - he might now be in the good place, if.......the price is right

The issue I have with science is scientist making theories. The Big Bang Theory......is just that, a theory. Theories can be good because they lead to speculation and sometimes proof. That's what scientist do, theorize.

Well there is no way to EVER get proof about the big bang, it's impossible - NOW if we can somehow prove it, then what did create that 1 shiny thing that exploded, impossible to answer - so it suggests more of a theory that everything has been and that things "evolve" - the universe expands (or contracts) there are many things science can prove, but when they say stuff like " a billion of years ago this happened " it would be impossible to come up with an exact figure as I'm pretty sure nobody was there billions of years ago.

God exists in a place we call Heaven. That would bring us to another question, Where is Heaven? No one knows. Heaven could be on another planet. Heaven could be on the far side of the universe. Heaven could be in another dimension.

Well we know where hell is at, it's the inner core of the earth, and above it, purgatory Now whether heaven is a physical place is debatable - it could be a state not a place - or it could be at the far reach of the universe, more likely another dimension OUTSIDE the Universe itself.

Well we do have undeniable evidence the Devil intervenes in people's lives, SO if there is the Devil there must be a God right, OR some theories suggest that only the Devil exists and he created life that is flawed and plain evil for his enjoyment and once we die he wants his souls back

It's kinda of weird, humans want to be treated equally, YET they accept individual labels, I dunno, but everyone has the right to do what they want or believe in what they want - do they have to advertise it in front of the world ? It only makes matters worse. Oh it's actually LGBTQ+ The + stands for OTHER, yes because it covers new ones too .........

It's not a question of fair - there are lot of things in life that are unfair or plain wrong - Did our creator mean for people to have sex for reasons other than to procreate ? (That's debatable) - Is ANYTHING unfair in life, God gave FREE WILL, what's RIGHT and w hat is WRONG is subjective to many people - Some people think being straight is not normal.

Here is an example - I believe that inanimate objects have a soul and are conscious, they are considered life and have rights like humans - Am I " NORMAL " ? Now what if I went out in public and advertised this, hey let's have an objects are people parade - it only focuses attention and opens the door to all sorts of remarks - Now if I were to not advertise and just keep my beliefs to myself, nobody would know unless someone sees me talk to a door knob I mean sure people are PROUD of their convictions, their beliefs, AND at the same time they want to be respected - WELL, they are on the wrong planet

Wait I think there is actual a case of that, in one of those weird YouTube videos, there was this person in court who wanted to be referred to as "Sponge Bob". Oh yeah, sure why not - it's mental health at its finest

As far as the Pokemon one it's not just about looking, but he claimed to actually BE one which is different.

Even more amusing are parents who name their kids after Pokemon characters............

"Pikachu - please report to the Principal's office - Pikachu, principal's office!!!"

Wow talk about a one of a kind topic we have here - it sounds like a conversation a group of stoned people would have in front of a camp fire

Let's see now - yeah as people age they might perceive time as passing by too quickly, and yet some claim otherwise, that it takes longer. If you live in a nursing a home (also referred to as a slaughter house for humans), that 1 year seems like 10 - if you are smart and/or lucky to still live in your home, then it's likely you see time fly. Now let's talk about the creation of everything - TIME does not exist outside human life, so it is a man made thing - if something always existed, that void containing all, then there cannot be time. Who made the rules about time, not God, who made the rules that there is 24 hours in one day, 7 days a week, 12 months in a year - it's human free will, a gift from God (well look how that turned out) BUT he knew most people would make the wrong decisions but gave the opportunity to repent, but as to time, if a year lasts 3 months it means you would age faster, but someone who is for example 80 years old and claims a year lasts 36 months, in English it means "Die already come and take me now waddaya waiting for ?" On the contrary if you think a year is 3 months it means "hey old your horses I'm not ready to depart just yet......." whichever way you see it.

Humans can now change their gender, their skin colour (ask MJ ) so maybe one day you'll be able to change your birth date too sure why not - might as well right ? We have religions (5000 of them) and sects (just as much) so why not change time, calendars, etc, let's also add more days to the week, so 40 days in a month....... One thing I would really vouch for, is more hours in a day, who wouldn't, instead of 24, let's add an extra 6 hours to make it 30.........Anything is possible, I mean we already mangle with time to some extent, every bloody year when we move the clocks backwards and forward (in most countries anyway).

At least Americans can be reassured their tax dollars are put to good use "Hey we cannot even send a human to the moon, but let's continue spending trillions of $ exploring other planets trillions of light years away even though there is no chance in hell we could even live there...." Yep makes sense - Let's leave our humans on earth to starve and live in misery why we keep the existence of aliens a secret and continue exploring space for other planets!!!

Oh we are not far apart, here's mine:

Today $0.00
Yesterday $0.00
Month $0.00
Last Month $2.29
Year $312.82
Last Year $551.98

What I bloody earn in one year I used to earn in one bloody month under ClixSense.

I bet you NASA spent a fortune to make up the bullshit that man landed on the moon - all this money invested to build one of man kind's biggest and most convincing hoax

Come on you consider +1C/+2C freezing, here if we had those temps in the winter time, it would be considered summer I wouldn't mind +1C/+2C all year long to be honest, at least you can sleep at night - that computer tower is a space heater on its own so it keeps room warm anyway

It's called body mutilation - Of course people are free to do what they want with their body, but it does not make it right - your creator made you a specific way and gave you life, it may not be ideal for everyone, so is it to mutilate body and go against what nature intended, this is highly debatable. If people who make those choices want to be treated EQUALLY, then why do they put themselves into special groups ? To get attention ? This is a personal choice people make, is it necessary for people to make it public ? Of course this opens the door to discrimination, hate, hurtful comments, etc, so I think these kinds of things should be discrete - except of course if you meet someone you should be honest, for example if a HE is now a SHE and meets a HE, I would hope that SHE, who used to be a HE would tell HE that SHE was once a HE, does it make sense ?

Where does this end ? Pretty soon there will be new genders and pronouns, some people might want to be considered alien and not human, sure why not, or MONSTER or muppet, why not - It is no coincidence what gender we become when we are born - if everyone was born the same gender, then it would not be possible to procreate - SO our creator made it so statistically there would be both males and females - it would be nice if before being born we were given a choice though, example "OK there are enough slots for males and female, neither is off quota, which one would you choose ?" SO for example, if I had a choice I would definitely want to be born as a male - but once you are given life, you don't get to mangle and mutilate your body - but since our creator gave us free will, those who take the decision should be respected, they will deal with the consequences on judgment day maybe, it's their body their decision, nobody can tell them what to do - if they want to hold a parade and brag about it, that is again their decision - nobody has the right to interfere - as long as they don't bother anybody, I say everyone has free choice - do I support this, NO, I do not believe in sex change, gender change - science and human creation = you are either a MALE or a FEMALE, that's it, that's how things work on planet earth !

I heard some stories of people wanting to be identified as Pokemon

Bloody hell ! and God forbid if you make a mistake and use wrong pronouns on someone, even if you were not aware, it's a crime.

Imagine the discussions with your kids later on - when they grow up and find out you are not who you are

Yes you heard it here exclusively - hot off the press - Winter is cancelled. Australia is going through one of its hottest winters ever - All the snow and cold is moving to Canada instead, where El Nino or whatever ino is going to be super active forecasting a terrible winter full of hellish snow and cold weather.

Yes he was an animal rights activist even before he began on Price Is Right. His wife Dorothy and also his mother, loved animals and were animal rights people. He hosted 'Truth or Consequences for something like nine years before TPIR.

So he was an activist even before TPIR, that's strange, considering all the prizes he gave on the show that go against his beliefs. Didn't he give a fur coat as his first prize ? Of course way later in his career he forced production to ban such prizes.

No I did not know that, I guess we learn something new here every day Yeah if they live one year, it means nothing because they are reproducing much faster than the ones dying, so their population is exploding - so much that they have nowhere to go and share common space with humans - I mean pretty soon rats will be everywhere and common, in some US states it's like that, rats in subway stations, everywhere, also with the ban on rat poison it is not helping matters, you even see them inside subway trains, walking even crawling on people, in some cities it is really bad they are literally everywhere and they are good jumpers too

Ideally all humans should have no gender and no reproductive organs - if they wanted a baby they would need to sign up, get tested (like driving lessons) and obtain a certificate of competency, then they would go to the lab and order their baby.

So much troubles would be resolved, no more sexual crimes, no more sex predators and pedophiles, no more inequality..........

Hmm there is a difference between identifying as a SHE and identifying as a HE but acting like a SHE, being effeminate to some degree. If he identified as she, then he is transgender or virtually so (means he still got the male body parts )

Now some people would so "Oh he is probably gay" - well, not all men that exhibit effeminate traits are gay, there are very straight men who have higher pitched voice and lisp, and some have a very high pitch, ask Barry Gibb and he certainly was not gay, quite unusual voice he had, it's hard not to smile, but he was straight, and had a wife. Besides unless you are online to meet someone for a date or "other", the gender portion is totally irrelevant - people should just cut the bullshit and be who they are accept the body an gender they were given at birth, by their creator, I mean today people are allowed so many things that would be frowned upon in old days - people can now change their genders, pronouns, colour, the only thing that is left is date of birth and I bet you that one day it will be allowed, so yeah, why can't people accept who they are.

You may say that but I can say you are wrong. I can say that because I see the evidence from the Bible.

A woman is pregnant. She cannot see the baby. She does not know what the baby looks like. She may not even know if the baby is male or female. The woman loves the baby even though she has not seen it. The baby cannot provide for itself. Both the woman and the baby have faith each others love and existence.

OK maybe that example is a bad one - a women does know the existence of a baby inside of her, it certainly ain't a rock moving about and kicking

Mhm? guess it didn't turn so well after all innit

So let's see now, it is quite amazing that humans would write the scriptures with frightening detail and accuracy, so long before the actual events occur, I mean who the hell would have thought that someone could murder their own flesh - brother against brother, kids killing their parents, the VICIOUS and CRUEL crimes committed today - so for something that is alleged to be created by human, they sure had amazing insight ahead of time. It all comes down to faith, those are free to believe and not believe, and yes many believers do commit crimes, as do many non believers, but certainly not most or all believers - We were given free will, we can all live our life at its fullest, yes humans have in fact mangled and changed some religions to suit their agendas, we can't really discuss or go much into that - but if it is true that humans created all this to allow it to live in a prosper world, they sure did a lousy arse job

Quote:

That all comes down to faith - there are lot of things you do not need to see to have proof. Can you see the oxygen that you breath ? Nope. Can you see all the radio waves, nope, our eyes and mind in a physical body are limited in scope, there are many things that exist outside what our senses CAN perceive, and just because we cannot see them or hear them does not mean they do not exist - as to existence of God it's all about faith, as to Demons and evil, well it's everywhere all around you, you don't need to see a physical figure, it's all over and is it created by humans, I personally do not believe so - you have otherwise peaceful people with no priors all of a sudden turning to vicious, cruel and violent crimes - there is the work of the Devil and it is ALL AROUND - it is overshadowing that of God, which is why all that is happening today is swaying people away from God - and I do remember a passage stating this, so everyone is free to have their beliefs - in my opinion it is better to believe in something, no harm done, but not believing and realising after the fact, it would be too late, too much to lose, you know like the ones who decided to murder themselves thinking they were gong to heaven and greeted by 19 virgins - well I bet you know they are very disappointed !

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust.

There is nothing about exceptions in death and burial. If there was, everyone would be buried in a cave behind a boulder.

But if you knowingly ask for Cremation isn't that like accepting body mutilation and burn instead of the conventional process of dying ? There is one religion I know of that forbids Cremation, as it is considered as a sin and disrespect to the human body, you are not allowed even to witness it, and their God is the same as ours, only difference is who they recognize as their Prophet. As far as Vatican according to new guidelines, they do allow cremation as long as it is not a
way to deny resurrection - but apparently you must not keep ashes in urns or scatter them:

https://www.cnn.com/2016/10/25/europe/cremation-vatican-scattering/index.html

Since 1963 (?) the Church allow sit although it strongly encourages the traditional burial methods, so cremation is frowned upon in general - one religion absolutely does not approve it, whilst many others frown upon it. I mean who wants to be burned ? People who get cremated do so mainly for financial considerations. So sometimes one wonders, if accepting cremation is a one way ticket to hell or not.... You are only a sinner if you knowingly do something that you know is one - so technically a person could be pardoned if they had no advance knowledge, now the Bible is full of symbolic references, some people can interpret passages that could mean a lot of things. The dust to dust ashes to ashes does not suggest cremation is encouraged. And in that other religion cremation is a sin, BUT if you were to be in an accident and your body is burned, you would not be a sinner because you did not accept the act or do the act.

Now it can be tricky - if we still choose cremation despite affording a traditional burial, would that get held against us, well...........that's why the Church strongly encourages people to dispose the body through proper methods and burial.
The Church was under a lot of pressure to even allow it.

As far as Christian shows on TV, ministries, etc, yeah I don't watch any of that, it's come to light that many of those were run by con artists, including some big names people trusted all this time - they are money grabbing thieves preying on people's vulnerabilities, as far as speaking to the dead, etc, again scammers, there are some known people who claim to be able to speak to the dead, I forgot his name, but him and others were featured on Oprah and other shows, all charlatans of course, then you have Peter Poppof, he sure fooled a lot of people with his crap. However, there are true life stories depicting actual haunting, etc. and apparently Exorcism and some other movies like Insurgence were based on true stories - I mean sure it's all about the Devil - with all that is happening today it is hard not to believe evil is real. I even heard a conversation once where a non God believer said he believed in Satan, but does not believe in God, he claims that Lucifer runs EVERYTHING and that he created everything and that there is no God...........

Yes I did read that passage, scary, because now everything in that passage has come to pass and is happening today - fire and brimstone falling from the sky - look at all the forest fires everywhere, volcanoes erupting, watch video footage in Maui, it looks like the fire apocalypse - but some things have yet to pass and they will be huge, nothing like what we have today, so yeah I did read about Revelations and Tribulations, though I do not remember fully, I did read those passages at work at the time in my free time.

That's not a good way to get elected - when the economy is run mostly by public run companies, there is no way this is happening - NOBODY can interfere with companies wanting to make profits, and since greed is not a crime and not illegal, nobody can dictate nothing - Biden tried asking oil companies to limit the increases and he was told where to go and what to do The moment a government interferes with this, it's no longer a democracy - What CAN be done is preventing companies from abusing hikes beyond actual inflation - BUT again, is it unlawful to charge a lot of money on something ? Nope - instead politicians (competent ones) should focus on avoiding measures that increase inflation, and keeping inflation under control - and do something about supply chain issues - with today's high inflation, companies are under pressure to increase wages, making things even worse, because this means these high prices are the new normal - the only that can be done now is help bring inflation down - this will not bring prices down though, for majority of items especially food - maybe some commodities yes.

So the Federal Reserve tried to tackle inflation but surprisingly economy remains resilient - and latest data shows inflation has ticked up, it's stagnant inflation and this is bad - it looks now the only way to the goal is through a moderate recession - which should have happened but hasn't - NOW if they keep raising rates like that, they will put banks at risks, and the last thing we need is another financial crisis like 2008 or worse. So for starters the best thing for Americans to do is vote for a Republican in 2024, and for the GOP to win midterms and put an end to this madness and abusing spending, they should start first with the spending outside - it's one thing to help others but you have to also help your own too, and you cannot help everyone with money you don't have.
