Would you die for your beliefs?
by purplesofa indo you feel so strongly about a particular belief that you would make a stand for it through death?.
what belief is it?.

Convictions or Reasons - which come first?
by nicolaou init's obvious right?
your convictions are supported by and dependant upon your reasoning and evidence.
what kind of person would choose a conviction first and then hunt around for evidence to support it, all the time ignoring any sound refutation and evidence which countered their cherished belief?.

Some things must be accepted a priori.
That our senses accurately convey reality is a reasonable a priori. We can't prove it.
That other minds exist is a reasonable a priori that we engage in during our day to day lives as well. We can't prove it.
That human intellgence using logic and reason can solve problems and explain reality is a reasonable a priori.
Mathematics rests on a priori principles.
That the laws of the Universe always apply everywhere and at every time is an a priori assumption, and a useful one at that.
The existence of a creator of some sort is for most people a reasonable a priori.
I think this ganging up on Madame Snowbird is pretty despicable. Would you like me to give you a conviction or a reason for that assertion?

Mounting evidence for evolution.

science: more transitional fossils discoveredwed, jun 25, 2008 at 4:53:34 pm pst.
new fossil discoveries by paleontologist per ahlberg are filling in more of the gaps in our knowledge of the transition from sea creatures to land-dwelling vertebrates: fossil helps document shift from sea to land.. new fossils of an ancient, four-limbed creature help fill in the blanks of the evolutionary transition between fish and the first land-adapted vertebrates.. fossils of creatures that span the water-to-land transition of vertebrates are few and far between.

Science: More Transitional Fossils Discovered
Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 4:53:34 pm PST
New fossil discoveries by paleontologist Per Ahlberg are filling in more of the gaps in our knowledge of the transition from sea creatures to land-dwelling vertebrates: Fossil Helps Document Shift From Sea To Land.
New fossils of an ancient, four-limbed creature help fill in the blanks of the evolutionary transition between fish and the first land-adapted vertebrates.Fossils of creatures that span the water-to-land transition of vertebrates are few and far between. One of those pioneers, Ventastega curonica, was first described in 1994 but previously has been known only from fragmentary remains unearthed from 365-million-year-old rocks at a site in western Latvia. Fossils found at the site during subsequent excavations now allow scientists to more fully reconstruct the creature, says Per Ahlberg, a paleontologist at Uppsala University in Sweden.
The new remains — including most of the creature’s skull, the braincase, half of the bones in its forelimb and a quarter of its pelvic girdle — suggest that Ventastega was an evolutionary intermediate between Tiktaalik, a four-limbed fish that lived about 382 million years ago (SN: 6/17/06, p. 379), and subsequent tetrapods such as Acanthostega, which were capable of walking on land.
The size and proportions of the new fossils hint that Ventastega probably measured between 1 and 1.3 meters in length. Most features of the creature’s skull match those of Tiktaalik, which lived millions of years earlier, but the overall shape of the skull and braincase “is characteristically ‘early tetrapod,’” Ahlberg says. Likewise, the creature’s lower jawbone was shaped like that of early tetrapods but was adorned with fangs like those found in its fishy predecessors, he notes. “Ventastega was a mosaic of features.”
Ventastega lived approximately during the same era as Acanthostega, but its features were more primitive, a sign that Ventastega may have been an evolutionary holdover, Ahlberg says. Nevertheless, the size and shape of Ventastega’s limb bones, particularly those of its forelimbs, suggest that the creature’s limbs ended in digits, not fins.
From an earlier article, here’s a chart illustrating the processes that are documented in these fossils discovered by Ahlberg:

CAN OBAMA BE PRESIDENT?
by Perry ini just received this email.
i don't see this flying for this election, but if obama wins, it might open the door for changing laws in the future concerning who can be eligible for the presidency and who cannot.
old, at the time of barack obama's birth for him to have been a. natural-born citizen.

I am sorry if this was considered propaganda. I came across it today in a news outlet. I think it is legitimate.

I thought the issue was settled when Markos Moulitsas posted a copy of Obama's Certification of Live Birth but according to this piece of investigative journalism it is false:

Biggest example: who cares about solar, tidal, wind or nuclear energy? They all make ELECTRICITY! You can't put them in your car's tank, for God's sake! Do we have an electricity shortage across the country? or gasoline?
That is one of the things that most people don't seem to understand. We generate very, very, little electricity from petroleum. If I recall correctly, only about 1% or so. Petroleum is a transportation fuel, by and large. Well, throw in heating too.
