  1. -accidently post in wrong thread-
  2. http://www.explorato...ideas/bang.html As a partial quote in the above website. "How do we know the Big Bang happened? Astrophysicists have uncovered a great deal of compelling evidence over the past hundred years to support the Big Bang theory. Among this evidence is the observation that the universe is expanding. By looking at light emitted by distant galaxies, scientists have found that these galaxies are rapidly moving away from our galaxy, the Milky Way. An explosion like the Big Bang, which sent matter flying outward from a point, explains this observation. Another critical discovery was the observation of low levels of microwaves throughout space. Astronomers believe these microwaves, whose temperature is about -270 degrees Celsius, are the remnants of the extremely high-temperature radiation produced by the Big Bang. Interestingly, astronomers can get an idea of how hot the universe used to be by looking at very distant clouds of gas through high-power telescopes. Because light from these clouds can take billions of years to reach our telescopes, we see such bodies as they appeared eons ago. Lo and behold, these ancient clouds of gas seem to be hotter than younger clouds. Scientists have also been able to uphold the Big Bang theory by measuring the relative amounts of different elements in the universe. They've found that the universe contains about 74 percent hydrogen and 26 percent helium by mass, the two lightest elements. All the other heavier elements -- including elements common on earth, such as carbon and oxygen -- make up just a tiny trace of all matter. So how does this prove anything about the Big Bang? Scientists have shown, using theoretical calculations, that these abundances could only have been made in a universe that began in a very hot, dense state, and then quickly cooled and expanded. This is exactly the kind of universe that the Big Bang theory predicts." Betsy's question has now been answered.
  3. I failed to see the significant of the post. Haven't you been doing that in your previous post that doesn't make sense? Its been given numerous times and you rejected it because it contradict your religious belief. So you're accepting it now I'm guessing. You have no idea what a scientific theory is.
  4. Your getting carried away, not us. You haven't really been debating, but rather dancing around the topic. Again you seem to have no idea what a scientific assumption is. Well there is more to the basic principle of science than simply 'observation' and 'testing'.
  5. Yes, read the article I posted.
  6. Wyly has a point, why would Alberta or Yukon cares if the maritime provinces merges?
  7. The commercial looks more stupid than provocative.
  8. lol...no one seriously in their sane mind believes that a zombie apocalypse can occur.
  9. I failed to see how mentioning disability has to do with anything.
  10. United Maritime as a de facto name
  11. Conservative Senators from Atlantic Canada are mounting a renewed push for a Maritime Union, proposing the merger of the three East Coast provinces into a single political entity to rescue the region’s stumbling economy. Stephen Greene of Nova Scotia, John Wallace of New Brunswick and Mike Duffy of Prince Edward Island have put together a detailed proposal for a union of their three provinces to be unveiled this weekend, including an idea for the name of the new province and the mechanics of power and representation. Mr. Greene is set to deliver a written proposal and speech in Halifax this weekend. “We’re hoping to move the ball forward and have the people in the Atlantic region, those who are thoughtful, talk about this. We need the public to demand that the political operatives here, the elected governments, start to co-operate,” said Mr. Duffy in an interview. He compared it to retail economics — big-box stores can offer lower prices because they buy in large volume. “In this highly competitive world, if we’re going to make headway, we have to be able to think big and see what we can do together, to ask, how can we put our small differences aside in order to help build a better Maritimes for our kids and their kids. “For 1.8 million people we are terribly over-governed. But the bigger part of this is working in concert, together, to try to create economic development. “How do we make our region more competitive, more attractive and more interesting? Stephen Greene is really going to lead this off,” said Mr. Duffy. Check out the rest of the article below: http://news.national...erge-provinces/
  12. Is 'Yulfuor' the right spelling? I tried googling it, but google keeps recognizing it as 'sulfur'
  13. Well you wouldn't be hiding...just looking the other way.
  14. Click on your profile in the top right of the screen, click on setting. To your right, click on 'Ignore' Preferences. And, voila.
  15. Just put them on your ignore option, do you know how to do that?
  16. Its one thing to reason such logic, but to actually show it - wow what can I say?
  17. Yes, scientists had observed a big bang that came from 'nothing' in an experimental study. http://www.ndtv.com/article/world/big-bang-experiment-successful-18757
  18. I think its time for a new topic since betsy has no grasp in science. Also because if we stop feeding the troll they will slowly wither and become reduced to nothing. What part of the bible, do people find to be the most contradictory to what we know now? (Dragons and demons don't count)
  19. Watch the video.
  20. Yeah she doesn't understand how science work if she doesn't know what scientific assumption means.
  21. Try a gift card, that never fails lol
  22. Not much of a holiday decoration *image from wikipeida - festivus*
  23. "Yule was midwinter festival, celebrated by the Norse people as the day of merrymaking. It was commemorated with the Yule cake and giving out gifts." "On the night of Yule, children usually placed socks filled with hay outside their doors to feed Sleipnir." "The Christians has adopted many of the pagan customs of Yule in the day of Christmas (December 25), such as giving out gifts to children, the decoration of the fir trees. Saint Nicholas, or Santa Claus as he was popularly known today, and his reindeers replaced Odin and Sleipnir of the Wild Hunt." http://www.timelessm.../norse/way.html I'm so gonna celebrate Yule this year as a change of scenery!
  24. Or maybe she wasn't able to view them on whatever she was accessing this room from.
