Voyager, drifting un-impeded through the empty stretches of space, might actually outlive our solar system.

Are you pushing your own short comings on us and safely hating them from a distance?

Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?

Young Earth Creationists take offense at the idea that we have a common heritage with other animals. Why is being the descendant of a mud golem any better?

I saw an interview with Jimmy Carter on Jon Stewart this week where he talks about his foundation's work trying to eradicate Guinea Worm Disease. This disease has been around for thousands of years. Apparently these worms lay their eggs in the drinking water and people unwittingly drink them. About 12 months after infection, a flat white worm, about two or three feet long, begins to emerge through the skin (usually the feet), emitting toxins that cause burning blisters. It takes as long as three months for the worms to come out, apparently an excruciatingly painful process.

To prevent infection, Carter's people had to convince the people to filter their water, sometimes difficult because of beliefs that a particular body of water is sacred.

This a great humanitarian effort aided, of course, by a scientific understanding of the life cycle of the Guinea Worm.

where was it, Johnson?

i looked at the video. it ended with 3D imaging that was a graphical depiction of what was believed to be a swarm of Atoms.
i dont think they were able to filter enough "noise" out.
And how can we be certain that what is being seen is not noise to a degree we do not know as of yet?

Ill look at it again. it seems though that you sorta mislead us here.
