every vein of gold that was found was mined, and still is. My dramatic title has too much ego in it, as your facile reply. you need to appreciate the point of the the argument, not score points.

FISHERIES POLICY IS DESIGNED TO CAUSE A COLLAPSE IN FISH STOCKS. The use of net sizes to control fish stocks is catastrophic. At the moment the system forces you to throw small fish back and keep the big ones. This is absolutely disastrous. A full size Cod (6 feet long) can produce...

The idea that we can halt the use of oil is naive. Oil companies are not going to wipe 50% off of their asset value, especially as prices rise and oil gets scarcer. Furthermore, who are we to deny developing countries the ability to develop as we have, when there is no alternative: that is if...

My God this is depressing. What do you think your made of Mr PetriFB. Take some DNA (made from a few basic ingredients) stick it a cell give it the right chemicals at the right time and the right place (originally derived by plants from dust and air and water) and hey presto you've got man or...

Up till now, the Earth has been a pretty good environment for us to live in. As we burn up fossil fuels it is excepted that we are creating a change in the weather systems through global warming that could destroy this environment and therefore ourselves, along with most of the other...

Mr essential lifelong learning? If you don't ask the questions you wont get any answers

Mmmm, bit of weak argument. There are billions of objects out there that are not visible to us. Not everything emits radiation in the visible spectrum. Black holes aren't visible but we know they are there. For our galaxy to hold itself together, using the dark matter model, 9 times the...

dark energy +dark matter = dark ignorance The basis of science is to challenge current thinking and see if it can be refuted, there's a name for this kind of phylisophical approach - but I can't remember it. Some bright spark (who makes an effort to think about something) comes up with a...

Dear oh Dear, ES has explained it to you already. To explain why galaxies are held together, science has invented Dark Matter. It must account for 90 % of the matter in a universe and it must be omnipresent within a galaxy. It is all around us, and within us. To explain why the universe...

I wasn't telling you I was telling him

Oh for God's sake, I know she's American and they're not exactly famous for their irony, but she' being sarcastic, don't take it all so literally.

I think most of you guys need to start another thread, entitled: religion versus science and flail around in there for a while till your egos have exhausted themselves. As for MW; well, as usual you're just taking the piss. Pick the lid off the story and look at whats inside. I know you've...

You need to take a view of the whole picture rather than the detail. God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he put forth his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever...” 3:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from...

Jesus said; “"All nature, all formed things, all creatures exist in and with one another and will again be resolved into their own roots, because the nature of matter is dissolved into the roots of its nature alone.” Quite radical for the time! And "There is no sin, but it is you who make...

In my opinion the story of Genesis is an analogy for the creation of the Universe and the development of human life on this planet. Adam and Eve are usually taken to be the names of two individuals. Adam was the old Hebrew word for first man and Havah meant first woman. There are vague...

yes, do you? doesn't seem like any body else is too bothered though.

How do you know? It's a possibility, that's all. Does "Universe" cover what the universe exists in, and all it contains, the astrophysics, chemistry, nature, us and everything else. I think most people conjure up an image of the Universe as a bubble containing all the other stuff. Find me...

you know you exist, but the reasons for your existence are beyond your comprehension. Why do I have to define something to comprehend it? But if you must; God is the life, the planet, the Universe and everything in it, out of it, and any other universes that may or may not exist. If...

God is beyond any mans' comprehension. Our ability to comprehend the universe and everything in it and outside of it is limited. Our ability to understand why we are are here, and how, is limited. Genesis is, as is the rest of the bible, a collection of analogies - parables. Stories for...
