Quantum analogy:
If you fire a cannonball into the vacuum of open space with no planets or mass in its path, it will travel a long distance in a straight line. If you fire a cannonball on earth into a column of water, the cannonball will drop towards earth and be deflected by the column of water. The cannonball is the particle you are trying to measure the position of, and the column of water are the photons you are viewing bouncing off the particle. The earth and the water both influence the tragectory of the cannonball. Your physical presence in the room with the quantum sized particle has an influence on its position. Your human body next to the particle you are trying to measure deflects its position.

A New Theory of the Universe
by BurnTheShips inrobert lanza has literally written the book on stem cell science and delves into the issue of consciousness, reality, and a biocentric view of the universe.. .
while i was sitting one night with a poet friend watching a great opera performed in a tent under arc lights, the poet took my arm and pointed silently.
why does the universe exist?

Caedes,
I think the point being made with the arrow is that if you have a still frame picture of the arrow, you have no information about its trajectory. It may have been dropped from above for example. It may have been fired backwards with the feathers pointing towards its destination. -

Einstein came to an understanding of things that are not intuitive to most people.
I think the minds that take things to new levels in the future will not be created in the usual way, humans procreating.
Think of the rare occurance of individuals with savant abilities. Understanding how to tap into that potential through drugs and technology,
that is a whole new area of research that needs to be explored. Imagine if you could recall absolutely everything you have ever been exposed to
with extreme clarity, and actually think of 20 topics all at the same time, and mix the reults of all 20 thought experiments into a useful final
answer.
Tapping into the potential of the human mind. We are still in the infant stage of our thinking abilities. The question is whether natural evolution and
education should be used to progress, or should a biological/technological modification be used to go to the next level. -

the TRUTH about DISFELLOWSHIPPING and SHUNNING from JESUS view
by Terry inloving and forgiving are a huge component of jesus' message to his disciples.. in answer to the question as to how many times forgiveness should be offered to an offender, jesus gave the reply, "seventy (times) seven.
" (variously interpreted as either 77 times or a multiple of 70 times 7).. an example is given of a man who owed a considerable sum of money whose debt was forgiven.
this man failed to forgive a much smaller debt owed to him.

Burn,
If you want to seduce a person into shifting their opinion, sometimes you must use the "wolf in sheeps clothing" approach.
You despise Dawkins because he is a wolf in wolves clothing. You don't like Terry when he puts on his sheep suit.
This applies to people who stay in the org to try to plant seeds of doubt. Wolves in sheeps clothing. This also applies
to individuals who go door to door and choose not to use as an opening line "Jesus inspected our religion in 1918 and found
us to be the one true religion and you will die at armageddon if you do not join us". Wolves in sheeps clothing. -

Word order #1:
Let us sacrifice a virgin to our gods.
Word order #2:
Our God was born of a virgin, and was then sacrificed.
Virginity is an obsession with humans. So is sacrifice.
Athiests are not obsessed with virginity or sacrifice. -

Richard Dawkins Gets "Expelled" by Ben Stein!
by Perry ini just got back from seeing the new movie release "expelled" which is a documentary exposing the militant culture of supression regarding intelligent design in the scientific community.
in a "million years", i never would have imagined that ben stein could get the author of "the god delusion", richard dawkins to speak favorably about i.d.
(intellignet design).

Like many, Perry is chosing to believe the Jewish version of the origin of our species.
Adam and Eve, the flood, the tower of babel. -

You got to love these emails going around JW land.
by whereami infriends,.
a co in the w...... congregation said that the reason so many of our brothers are dis-fellowshipped isn't because of wrong doing, it's because the new system isn't a reality.
read this all the way thru, it is truly a dose of what is yet to come.

A Kinder, Gentler Armageddon?
by undercover inin another thread it was mentioned that a newer wt or awake stated that "god's battle is directed against those humans whom god judges to be incorrigibly wicked.
his war will be selective in destruction.
" which gives a somewhat less violent picture than what has been presented for years and years.. is this new light a change in the perception of how armageddon will be brought about or is it just pandering to the ignorant masses so as to not reveal the true belief that they're all doomed to destruction?.

The chances of Armageddon coming are about as good as the chances that there was a great flood that destroyed all things that walked or crawled about 4500 yrs or so ago, and that ark that saved the kangeroos from extinction.
