They not only lived side by side, they LIVE side by side. Birds are dinosaurs. Do a quick google search of your points before you post, that way you won't look stu....... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur Factchecking atheists is fun. And easy, too.
sho-tim, I knew that birds are evolved from dinosaurs and share a latent part of DNA with them, just like we humans share a large part of DNA with the monkeys. Is your whole "fact checking mission" about proving that we have evolved from earlier primates?
sho-tim, I hope you will answer about shared DNA between humans and monkeys when you return to ET again...
Modern Quantum mechanics suggests that the universe is orderly. My observation supports that theory looking from the subatomic world to the stars. Nature says the same, spring is followed by the summer, days turn into nights and then days again, figs grow on fig trees and apple grows on apple trees, amazingly there is never a mix-up. There is no chaos, everything is choreographed to perfection, and anarchy and randomness is our subjective reality in things we do not understand and fail to see the pattern. Does this mean the pattern is not there? When we saw heart failure and diabetes as a random disease (100 years ago) our subjective reality saw chaos, now we KNOW that it is not random but created by lifestyle and heredity.
Andreas, so what you are saying is that - before, people were saying it was the will of some god, and now they attribute the heart attacks, diabetes etc to human lifestyle choices? OK. That sounds pretty reasonable and believable.
I don't give two hoots about Albert's personal agenda. Somehow this meaningless fact is important enough for you to raise it in several past threads. But the fact you paint Albert Einstein as a Zionist several times, which is a peculiar thing for someone to bring up unless they would sympathize with Palestine, we have this little item: you say "do nothing" with the people who call themselves palestinians and are leaving in something that should not be called Palestine. Well, they have no right to vote in Israeali elections ... they are constantly attacked, and they also attack areas on the other side of the wall. Should they not be granted democratic rights? Should they not be granted the opportunity to organize themselves, or at least be part of a nation? But I think I agree with Bernie Richards who wound up putting you on ignore: "Debating can be pointless and frustrating if you want to foist your opinions upon others. " This started when I was talking to Jayford (and certainly not you who horned in) as he was trying to impress with his pedigree but could not string two thoughts together without coming across as simple... Based on your "bring it on" attitude that started this annoying several-post exchange and having seen numerous of your posts in the past, you come across mostly as a self-absorbed mensa wannabe. Well tell you what - Mensa is a bizarre organization of people who want others to know they are smart and somehow think IQ and achievement have ANYTHING to do with personal worth. I have an IQ of 158. Does that somehow mean anything? Not any more than eye color or foot size. I have seen enough that I will avail myself of ignore, like Bernie. You are too self-absorbed for interesting dialogue.
TraderZones, If I come across as a Palestinian sympathizer for saying that people should have the right to vote and participate in democratic elections, then I guess you come from a pretty warped background. Albert Einstein spoke on religion as an agnostic, and he spoke on Israel and the Jews as a Zionist and with a political agenda in support of Zionism - that is a simple fact. Also, if you took the time to research even further, you would see that I am in fact one the least likely to be seeking membership of anything as a vehicle to promote myself or identify myself. Finally, your IQ is nothing spectacular and I have beaten that score in several tests for fun. Thinking and problem solving involve much more complexity than simplistic crystallized and liquid intelligence. You are absolutely right that I don't "fear" anyone - in real life or here on EliteTrader. Have you been to Israel yourself, or know anything about the state of Israel except from FOX news etc.? I find your contributions suspect, intellectually feeble and frankly you come across as a liar.
There were atheists 100 years ago too. They thought these preventable illnesses were random. On the other side of the coin some religious people even thought it was the DEVIL in people (in case of dementia or depression) - now we know the cause and it is not random. Nothing is random.
Ahm, I think you lost me on your last claim there... I am well aware of degrees of truth and degree of belief, certainty etc. But you seem a little too certain in your assumptions... "Nothing" - not anything - is random? Really...? Care to back that up with something more formal than just three words?
BS. I have an IQ of 135 and I've seen enough of your posts to know that you are full of it, or cheated on that IQ test.
