A lot of the time the experiments have so many resultant numbers it would take anything but a supercomputer generations to extrapolate results. Even computers like the Roadrunner are primitive due to the limitations of how it stores memories.

      Take a human brain and study how it stores memories. Apply that to a computer. Then your cooking with gas... and you have a nice little Skynet.

    Skynet....lol.

    I DON'T KNOW.  Read what i've written.  I'm not going around making up stories to try and explain it.  I am fine with not knowing.  You make up some imaginary god and pretend like that is the answer.  Delusional.

    You say: So what...as i've said ever so often, why do we have the law? probably nothing wrong with adultery or murder is there? Oh wait the law actually has taken hints from religion itself mt friend...

    Of course there is something wrong with murder.  Are you sick in the head? As to adultery, don't Muslims believe in killing people over that? Hmmm.... sick in the head religion.   As to the law:  religion was born from the imagination of people.  The law comes from the same place.  Funny how they share the same origin...

     

    As to the rest of what you have said, it is meaningless gibberish.  Religion is a Bad Thing[tm], whether it is Christianity, Islam, or whatever made up thing you want to believe in.

    Uhm, yea you don't know so don't CARE then. Stop bashing other people way of lives just because you can...its pathetic. Go Saudi Arabia, it's a f-ing third world country yet you'll see how low the crime rate is! The Islamic laws are strict but when the Muslims pay proper attention to the fundamentalism of our religion...does it go wrong  no. You are ignorant and know nothing about religion in the concept of itself. But we can go on about this forever so I have one question for you...

     

    What do you say about the fact that the Qur'aan has sentences which hint at details scientific knowlege in regards to the Earth, I don't want to go into great detail, read it up yourself. I'm not an idiot, I think blindly following what scriptures say is stupid but that is proof. They didnt have microscopes about 1000 years ago did they and do say crap about the Qur'aan being altered or misinterpretation because non-muslims have translated the text also.

    The purpose of the above paragraph is to prove that Islam wasn't created by IMAGINATION.

    To answer your question:  The idea that an ancient book written by scared old men in the desert holds scientific knowledge is laughable.  It is the same thing as trying to say that Nostradamus is actually foretelling the future.  Here is the formula:  One part vague passage + common event every decade = prophecy being foretold.  It is that simple.  Give us an example.  Just one.  I'll bet it fits into that formula very nicely.  You said it yourself, it 'hints' at it.  Trust me, Bible freaks try to pull the same thing, but it would be abundantly clear to you when they try it... the only difference is, you have Islamic blinders on instead of Christobrandblinders[tm].  Of course, just once I would like to see this scientific information brought forth from a religious text and used before science has to do all the leg work and actually create it.  Yeah, hinting at knowledge.  REAL HELPFUL.  pfft.

     

    As to Saudi Arabia, it has a barbaric system of punishment.  If you're seriously proud of it, good for you.  Chopping off heads and right hands is a symptom of stupendous idiocy.  If that has lowered crime, which apparently it has, I say it has come at an even higher cost.    Of course, Saudi Arabia is the same place where women aren't allowed to drive, alcohol is forbidden, and other ridiculousness.  And let's not forget:  Being gay or adultery is an offense worthy of death.  Please, keep your low crime rate and I'll keep my freedom.  The only thing making Saudi Arabia relevant at all is its oil supply.  Lose that and you've got a dried up patch of sand with a lot of people hating others for having it better.

    Islam, and every other religion, was created by pure imagination.  I'm sorry if that hurts, but it is absolutely true.   Every good that it has produced can be reproduced without religion.  I know, because I've seen, and done, a lot of good.  Of course, you support killing people for adultery, so what do you know of good? Barbaric.

    There you go, have fun, mix and match your own will. Islamic Law has to be altered to match the modern society, I was on about the principles. You decided to add your nice little social aspect which I had to respond to. Remember I was taling about fundamentalism which has no implication of any of this, alcohol cause so much more problems than good so don't even dare bring that up. Women have equal right to men, that is a clear fundamental, it doesn't matter what the Muslims do, you can't blame the religion, I am enjoying this debate but its not nice to be so damn harsh! I suppose I haven't either been nice....

    Gameloading...you have a point but nevertheless, I don't give a damn, I still find how the events happened ridiculous and how easily Alqaeda had fingers pointed at them (no I am not a supporter of them), the American government is infamous as i've said, you want evidence? click on that link and have fun aswell.

     

    Most people can easily determine there is a God through the number or miraculous occurrences.  Most atheist/agnostic believe there is a logical explanation for these phenomena, but there is TOO much phenomena for all to be coincidence.  They also refuse to examine any phenomena that has to do with supernatural because they've already got their minds made up.

    The NDE is my favorite God phenomena because 2 close members of my family went through the experience.  And the change in them was like somthing unreal had happened.

    Religion has warped the image of God around and this is why we have people that claim he doesnt exist.

    Near Death Experiences don't hold a lot of weight with me.  No one knows what your mind actually goes through when you're in the dying process, perhaps you start reliving old memories or your have random images flash through your mind....or maybe you just see what you've been told to see your whole life.  People claim god doesn't exist because he doesn't.

    SHAWNEE, Kan. -- A suburban Kansas City man accidentally fired a 2.5-inch nail into the top of his head, but says he now feels fine after a doctor used a claw hammer to remove it.

    The mishap occurred Friday while George Chandler, of Shawnee, and a friend were working on a backyard project.

    The nail gun hose became tangled, causing the powerful tool to fire once. Chandler said Monday he told his friend he didn't know where the nail went, but he felt a sting on the top of his head.

    Soon they discovered that the nail was driven into Chandler's skull, so they called an ambulance. He was rushed to a hospital, where a doctor used a common claw hammer to remove the nail, Chandler said.

     

    Chandler said he feels "very lucky, very, very lucky" to have escaped serious injury.
