Christian Greece didn't obliterate their Ancient Greek heritage. Imagine how fucked their tourism industry would be if they had done so

They are definitely placing this concept of NATO getting 'dragged in' front and centre in the minds of the public: Ukraine: Three ways this war could escalate and drag Nato in https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61051307 A perfect cover story. "Well we didn't want to go to war, but we had no choice." Same old shit, repackaged. And of course, the sheep will accept it, like they accept everything else.

Well, at least she has Robert Pattinson's blessing, and that's what really matters most.

He doesn't seem too stressed about it years later...

@alexa if you like that beautiful sky, may I suggest the following book. It's a great read: https://www.harpercollins.com.au/9780008156091/aurora-in-search-of-the-northern-lights/

I'm curious, why did you single out these parts as your favourites?

No probs. My mistake then.

I'm not sure, that's for you to answer. It just seems that way. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, I believe you are referring to Schumann resonances ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumann_resonances ), which are variable, being affected by a variety of factors ( https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/sunearth/news/gallery/schumann-resonance.html ). There are some scientific investigations of these resonances and their potential effects on biology of higher life forms ( here is one example - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2656447/ - from the journal Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy ). Edit: Will just add this one as well, @Morpheus: Studying Earth’s Double Electrical Heartbeat Charged by thunderstorms and other weather phenomena, the global electrical circuit connects the entire planet. https://eos.org/features/studying-earths-double-electrical-heartbeat

It's what happens when the points you've made hit a nerve.

@Mitochondrial Eve Just some additional info. That LA times article that I included (above), here is the original full text science paper to which the article was referring: Molecular evidence from retroposons that whales form a clade within even-toed ungulates https://www.nature.com/articles/41759

Zelensky reminds me of one of these dodgy gangsters in Taken 1:

If Putin wanted Zelensky dead, he'd be dead.

Spot on mate. This shit doesn't doesn't add up.

Sorry @Mitochondrial Eve , I had a browser timeout during this post. Hope the links all still work... First of all, 'macroevolution' ( defined here in more detail: https://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/macroevolution-examples-from-the-primate-world-96679683/ and here: https://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolution-101/macroevolution/what-is-macroevolution/ ) is often used as a red herring by creationists. In reality, there is only microevolution, at the mechanistic level. What we can then observe on the broader scale is what could be called macro, because you're looking at a wider perspective ('zooming out', if you will). If you're expecting to see magical fast jumps from one species to another, you won't, and you wouldn't expect to. You have a lot of small changes over time that result - over a long period of time - in what observed as 'macro' if you want to call it that. It's a term often misused ( here is a discussion on the matter: https://evolution-outreach.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12052-020-00124-w ). As for the DNA evidence ( https://evolutionforskeptics.wordpress.com/2014/07/20/molecular-phylogenetics-whales-are-hoofed-mammals/comment-page-1/ ) I'm obviously not a DNA expert, but there are plenty of scientific papers now that confirm the link. These, if I'm not mistaken, have been building as a weight of evidence since the 1990s; or at least the late 1990s - example - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9159931/ - example: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-aug-31-mn-27505-story.html ). There are of course, like there should be, debates within then peer reviewed process of all the finer details. The evidence is not 'perfect' but the overall evidence seems to strongly lean in that direction. In 2008, the National Academies wrote that: "The fossil evidence accords with recent genetic findings that whales, dolphins and porpoises descended from a group of terrestrial mammals known as Artiodactyls." ( https://nap.nationalacademies.org/read/11876/chapter/3?term=whales#32 ). As far as I know, since 2008, this fact hasn't been disputed in the peer reviewed literature on a fundamental basis? Please correct me if I'm wrong and I'll be happy to retract that. Now as for the embedded videos, I don't think a summary is the best idea. A list of time codes / time stamps is much better. Maybe next time I can do that for you, to save some time and aide in more specific discussion. PS. Check out the book, Speciation by Jerry Coyne & Allen Orr ( https://www.nature.com/articles/431399a ). It's not specifically about whales, but a good overview nonetheless.

Yes, sound frequencies can affect physical objects, obviously. Think of sound weapons as an example, or how a sonic boom from an aircraft can screw you up or smash windows if too close. But what does it have to with objective evidence for intelligent design? It's a measurable effect from nature. But how are you extrapolating intelligent design proof from it exactly?

RE: Petrified wood example ( https://forum.davidicke.com/index.php?/topic/5907-fake-moon-landings/&do=findComment&comment=394781 ). Nice try.

@Mitochondrial Eve Check out some of Hans Thewissen's work on the evolution of whales: EDIT: This post should also provide some valuable supplementary reading on the subject: https://evolutionforskeptics.wordpress.com/2014/05/18/transitional-fossils-3-through-11-from-land-mammals-to-the-ancestor-of-whales/

BoJo looks utterly terrified. All those bombs raining down. All those fighter jets whizzing overhead. All the brutal house to house shootouts.
