You want foam...

for each individual to define and worship-- or not-- as they see fit.

I caught gore trolling for suckers on a new thread last night (with platypus bait) and ignoring our pings. Anyway,

. . . because they [slime molds] provide a comparatively simple and easily manipulated system for understanding how cells interact to generate a multicellular organism.

We can add another fascinatingly primitive multicellular, the green algae Volvox.

If, as many people have told me, "God" is an all-powerful, all-knowing entity whose motives we must not question, and whose very existence humans are pitifully ill-equipped to comprehend, then each person who believes in that entity must do so on his or her own terms. Since the whole of this entity is beyond the abilities of mere mortal man, the concept must be simplified, watered down, and broken up into easily digestible chunks, from which one must pick and choose those bits that one can handle.

If there is no such entity, then by definition the concept of a god must be individually constructed and maintained. What, for example, are the defining characteristics of a dragon? Everyone knows what a dragon is. Everyone knows approximately how they are put together. And everyone is going to give you slightly (or in some cases-- the Chinese come to mind-- drastically) different versions of how dragons look and behave.

That being said, precisely which species of snake are you talking about, and how did it evolve, and can I have my bag back when you are done with it?

Maybe... he seems to be somewhat more lucid this morning. Or perhaps better able to form complete thoughts. Frankly, it's kind of fascinating...

Evolution is a stink-sink poisoned water hole...you bottle--distribute--condense it!

11.5.2. Maintenance of Adequate Electrode Contact

a) Adequate contact between stimulus electrodes and the scalp should be assured. Scalp areas in contact with stimulus electrodes should be cleansed and gently abraded.

b) The contact area of the stimulus electrodes should be coated with a conducting gel, paste, or solution prior to each use.

c) When stimulus electrodes are placed over an area covered by hair, a conducting medium, such as a saline solution, should be applied; alternatively, the underlying hair may be clipped. Hair beneath the electrodes should be parted prior to application of the stimulus electrodes.

d) Stimulus electrodes should be applied with sufficient pressure to assure good contact during stimulus delivery.

e) Conducting gel or solution should be confined to the area under the stimulus electrodes, and should not spread across the hair or scalp between stimulus electrodes.

f) A means of assuring the electrical continuity of the stimulus path is encouraged (see Section 11.4.1.(g)).

Talking about clues--you wrote this?

Since the whole of this entity is beyond the abilities of mere mortal man, the concept must be simplified, watered down, and broken up into easily digestible chunks, from which one must pick and choose those bits that one can handle.

Got any more famous lost words of your "wisdom"?

Are you claiming an infallible and complete understanding of the mind of God?
