Noteworthy re: Drake's equation is I didn't qualify that it had to A) evolve to intelligence much less B) try to communicate. :)

Perhaps now you will have some empathy for the Christians you like to trash.

Trash? Nope.

The Drake equation has never been proven or disproven, It is a theory that requires faith to believe in it's validity. It is as useful as a Next Generation re-run.-MM

To quote from my link in # 137:

New findings, however, according to the authors of "Rare Earth," show that the Drake Equation is riddled with hidden optimistic assumptions.

Noted, but Chocktaw tribes on Vega will most likely be little of our concern, God or no (unless we get on hell of a telescope or find a way to circumvent the physical distance between here and there).

I know. I just wanted to point out that what little we know is hardly enough to go by one way or the other, and as I pointed out in my last to DD, other civilizations don't prove or disprove God. Why would He tell us something we don't need to know when we have so much trouble getting the stuff we do need to know?

"Kirok" is the god of the Choctaw tribes on Vega. (And who wouldn't worship Shatner?)

The point is everyone has faith and a God/god. Some people refuse to admit it.-MM

other civilizations don't prove or disprove God.

Who whoa whoa. I never said they did, either. That goes back to the "humans are the highest intelligence in the universe" assertion to which I only replied that there are probably other intelligences out there. Never made God conditional on that.

My point is we all have some kind of faith and some kind of God. Some have more intrapersonal intelligence.-MM

"The humans are the highest intellegence in the universe argument" was used to demonstrate that athiests are either egoists or idol worshipers. Your demonstration of faith in unproven scientific theory helped prove my point.-MM

"Executions by stoning are not mentioned in the koran, islamic legal scholar Tarik Abdul-Rahman wrote, but they are part of the hadith (collections of sayings and acts of mohammed)."

I thought mohammed wrote the koran, or quran, or whatever, on the fly...adjusting it as necessary to rationalize his brutality.

What makes the hadith any different...both are works of mohammed, are they not?

I just don't understand these sick animals. All muslim cretins please get involved so we can attempt to understand your grotesque and deviant behavior.

Your use of the term "unproven scientific theory" is proof that you don't really understand science.

"And lo! the Kirok spoke, and his voice was heard to ring from the mountaintops. And he said, 'I am...the Kirok, your...soverign master, and I will give unto you......great joy!"

Can you prove the theory that there is life on other planets or disprove it for that matter. You give me no conclusive evidence and say I know nothing of science? How many other things do you think you know that are only products of your faith?-MM
