"Mother" knows best

by discreetslave in

when i first watched the movie "tangled" with my daughter this scene really creeped me out and made me think of the borg.

it seems with the title of a convention talk "motivate rightheartedones to love .

.their spiritual mother (proverbs 6:20)" they want to bring back the term "mother" for the next generation.

When I first came to this site, it was very common to see the organization referred to as "Mother". I personally don't remember the meme.

I find it incredibly offensive, as a mother having been raised in a most smothering atmosphere, and very consciously trying to allow my children to be autonomous.

so i'm 21, just married, and raised in my fathers image and thank god he liked sci-fi...a genre i was able to escape to new worlds in.

he even took me to a trekkie covention when i was albout 12 at the greensboro coliseum and it was packed.

we had watched every episode over and over...i thought.

Berengaria

Mmmmmmmmm Star Trek!

I loved TNG, but ST was just awesome. Great writers!! Gene you really should try it. Yes it was cheezy, but all the better because of the characters and story lines.

Leo, that was the first thing I thought, what episode?????

Simple answer, please! Scientifically explain the origin of life coming from nothing!

by Silent_Scream in

scientific method asserts nothing living can come from something non-living.

science is observable, science is reproducible.

a living thing coming from non-living matter has never been observed nor reproduced.. therefore, it takes faith in an unknown process to believe that that's exactly what happened in the beginning, with no evidence!.

Ha!! Charlie Brown!
