This is the problem as I see it. (Rape: unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against the will usually of a female or with a person who is beneath a certain age or incapable of valid consent.) Men my age were raised to believe that rape was clearly…

You be quiet, Frank. Priorities. First, fling the evidence to where the killer cop can’t subvert it, then worry about being judged by out of touch pricks.

“and knowing ghosts don’t exist, yet at times still feeling that they do because imagination is real.”

I've had the experience of a white flash accompanying a loud noise for years. You're the first person to ever describe it. I had assumed I was alone in this. It's nice to know.

The argument for intervention has little to do with resource utilization. The real question is whether or not we have the right to save a predator from its prey, however indirectly. Were the situation reversed, nature would have taken its course. I'm glad the lioness was healed. I'm not sure the buffalo is as…

Outright fraud, lack of controls, a complete and perhaps willful misapprehension regarding the pertinent physical properties of the event.

"It's like the girl who says she hates a certain boy, but all she does is talk about him." Agreed. If the boy was cloned billions of times and caused the dark ages.

I love that woman.

Apparently they have targeted an area of the virus that never mutates (Rev Response Element (RRE).

For the record, it's not your views on reality that I have a problem with. It's paragraphs that are prefaced with something to the effect of "Atheists and ultra religious people both irritate me."

Yes, I'm 'too' weak minded. The bandwagon of science is just so much more comfortable than that fence post up your ass.

idk. Self righteous agnostics irritate me. The annoying third party who will equivocate on both the nature and importance of truth, while contributing absolutely nothing.

I inadvertently saw a clip of a woman tied to a chair as a man walks into frame and shoots her point blank in the head (she had been pleading to God for help.) I was completely unprepared for the reality of it. I felt heart sick for years after. Witnessing both the worst and final moments of someones life is…

I find that most people approach this discussion with the same thoughtful contempt of creationists approaching evolution. "If we evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?" Yes, we understand that time is an immutable part of 'our' existence. We all feel its presence. The question is being posed with regards…

I had considered the cyborg scenario as well. I suppose depleting your energy source without the means to recharge could be considered starvation.

My same exact fear. Of course, indefinite life extension is hardly invincibility. We would still die of starvation. Silver lining?

I firmly believe that aging is a technical problem that we will readily overcome in short order. My concerns lay more in how this knowledge will be applied, and to whose detriment.

From what I can tell, our sun is 4.6 light seconds in diameter, so the singularity at the center of the galaxy would be 4,810 suns lined end to end, or 4 157 412 870 miles wide. 4.1 millions suns would be 3 543 740 700 000 miles in diameter (472 times the diameter of the solar system.)

"and perhaps is now nearing the end...?" It could happen.
