liquid water is a requirement for life on earth.
but in other, much colder worlds, life might exist beyond the bounds of water-based chemistry.
cornell chemical engineers and astronomers offer a template for life that could thrive in a harsh, cold world specifically titan, the giant moon of saturn.
As an aside, i am also a bit of a tesla "fan boy". i think he was a genuis and generally unappreciated in his time for his legitimate comtributions to science.....
he was also a world class bullsh*** artist and made some outrageous and outlandish claims. Just my .02 on that.
as for methane based life forms.. Im open to the possiblity. Carbon is abundant and the makes sense to us but that our bias and our only frame of referance. Id love to see it determined and the science worked through.
i don't quite understand why mr. nethanyahu is so fearful if iran or other nations have nuclear weapons.
as the nra espouses, the more people are armed and the more weapons on the street, then the safer we should feel.
we all should have the right to protect ourselves.

I let the track record speak for itself when it comes to determining "upstanding" or not. Nobody outside the fundamentalist islamic religion would call iran upstanding or responsible or moral, even many iranians themselves as is evidanced by their attempts overthrow the current 'government'.
Im not appoligizing for the USA or any other country or justifying any wars recently fought in that region, im simply commenting on your original post regarding the concept of arming oneself for self defense vis a v the NRA et all.

While i understand your being sarcastic, i would counter your point as follows:
i believe its the NRA's position that more lawabiding ethical and moral people being able to own guns is good, not criminals.
iran is far from law abiding, moral or ethical. They are an outlaw group at best. Disarming them and ensuring upstanding countries can protect themselves is exactly in like with the NRA's position.
hey put a good video out about the evil toys on the market and the possibility of making jehovah very very sad by having these things in your house and demons start to party on your sofa.
then wait a couple of weeks and offer a entire line of acceptable toys and charge the hypnotized families a stiff price/suggested contribution.
could make a few million and help pay off some of these child molestation lawsuits.. i can just see tony morris singing 'rubber ducky' and offering the latest marketing scam of a toy that don't make jehovah so sad.
my wife called me at work saying she is scared after reading today's daily text.
i don't read it anymore, therefore i went online and found this.. tuesday, march 3 .
those days will be cut short.matt.
I dont mean to sound arrogant but I can tell you exactly what she wants to hear....
"Babe, dont sweat it. we're going to be fine. I got you."
The cult may be fanning the flames but in the end we all have moments of insecurity. Our wifes want us to be their rocks in times of trouble, same way we want them to tell us they still love us and believe in us when we screw up or feel inadequate.
Let her know its all good, come what may. Set the cult crap aside on this one unless she brings up the specifics in which case you can just leave it as 'we will deal with it when we get there. Until then were moving forward' (she dosent need to know forward is away from the cult)
does a type of buddhism exist that doesn't include the metaphysical aspects of traditional buddhism?

the public talk on sunday was about evolution.. my son pointed out flaws in the speakers arguments during and after the meeting... mostly about how animals aren't able to communicate etc.
he even brought up coco the ape that is able to communicate via sign.. i told him that i heard a ton of inconsistencies but i am afraid to say anything because your mom will get angry :).
im glad he is paying attention.. and the school system must be doing something right..
i spoke to a very reliable source at bethel and got an update on the happy song that they did.
apparently it was for family night, which is kind of like a talent show they do once a year at bethel.
people make videos, songs etc....
humans have produced many movies on extraterrestrials.
yet all of them are shown in ugly form.
why cant we depict an et more beautiful/handsome than humans.
I think thats more than reasonable
