Nevlach Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Whoops, you're right. I mistakenly attributed the views of the Q&A author to the author (s)he quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 At one point my parents did. They never told me otherwise until after I figured out. It just seems to me that atheists and skeptics don't like to admit to believing anything that can't be proven even though they do have beliefs that can't be proven. Ya know what I mean? Like it's ok to say "I don't know, but I don't believe it to be the case." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevlach Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 And did they continue to claim that one exists and try to provide evidence for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 It's a fairly safe bet. The Earth has survived the rise and fall of the vast majority of it's other species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 None of which, that we know of, have successfully negotiated space travel. Oh, sure, mushrooms and spiders may have COME here from space but they haven't been able to leave again. If push came to shove, and it might, we could be fully space based in 50 years I'd wager. Not all of us, mind you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 You asked me what was the point of me wanting to excel in life if there was not a creator . and i believe it is the act of TRYING to excel that brings a certain satisfaction , it is in the striving that the sense of achievment is felt .

theminister Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 And what's the status of space travel now? Completely gutted. The only thing we send into space now is more satellites. If push came to shove I doubt we'd be able to be space based before whatever cataclysmic event came about to destroy us. The Earth is 4 billion years old. We're about 200,000. Assuming we aren't wiped out, we'll have evolved into some weird new creature before the Earth is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Up in the air?!? Actually, I'm pretty interested in Curiousity and am one of the few I know that thinks exploring the asteroid belt is completely worthwhile. Planets do die, sometimes naturally, sometimes not. Sometimes they just do themselves in. We may do it without necessity but for, I don't know, something to do. Sitting on top of 50,000 litres of rocket fuel? Pretty much. It requires a lot of faith that those spaces nerds know as much about physics as they do about Stargate SG1. That's a leap of faith if you ask me. Or that they remembered to convert imperial to metric this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Then by all means stop by the Curiosity thread for all things related, in order to satisfy your curiosity. Ugh, that was bad. And what's this about not converting to the international standard to metric from heathen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 It's unfortunate. Ray can't even compete with Aron. Too bad he's as badly brainwashed as he is. He seems like a nice guy other wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
