  • Dark Matter: PseudoScientific American Blinks

    The new issue of the "Scientific American" contains an article which appears to amount to hedging its bets on the question of "dark matter", and at least recognizing the potential which the idea (dark matter) has for making scientists look stupid. In the universe at large, things which appear roundish or which lack any particular shape are dominated by gravitational forces, while things which appear orderly such as spiral galaxies, are necessarily controlled by something vastly stronger, such as electromagnetic forces. In some cases, this is glaringly obvious. A good example is the spiral galaxy shown above. The arms, particularly...

  • Reasons to Reject Evolutionism

    The primary science focus on Bearfabrique is renegade science and catastrophism; evolution is a sort of a second topic. Nonetheless, there's a reason for the evolution page. Evolutionism poisons religion, ethics, and science in equal measure. There is a fabulous new world of science waiting in the wings to be born once the dead hand of evolution and the evolutionists can be removed from the picture. There are several overwhelming arguments against evolution in any form which arise from catastrophism in fact; it would be good for Christians, in particular, to become aware of those arguments. One such argument arises...

    Talk.Origins:Deception by Omission Jorge A. Fernandez© 2002 by Jorge A. Fernandez.  All Rights Reserved.  [Last Modified:  13 June 2002] The Talk.Origins (TO) website (http://www.Talk.Origins.org) is promoted, among other things, as an educational site, a place for obtaining information on evolution and answers to the numerous criticisms to this theory. Although TO states that it is a "forum for discussion"-presumably unbiased-much evidence testifies to the contrary. I've been observing the TO site from the sidelines for quite some time and have until now restrained myself from responding to the materialistic worldview that this organization pushes on the unsuspecting. It is particularly distressing...
  • Bullets, spray moly, and sculpey

    This is a sort of a better way of doing things which occurred to me. Spraycan molycoating has to be the simplest and cheapest way to molycoat bullets but the instruction show users standing bullets on their bases in a row and spraying them, and that gets most of the moly towards the front of the bullet where it isn't needed. The idea is to go to your neighborhood yuppie arts/crafts store and buy about $10 worth of sculpey, the latest version of childrens polymer modeling clay which cooks hard in an oven in 20 minutes or so or in...
  • National Emergency Mobilization for Palestine May 13, 14

    D.C. Area Freepers take note, the following is from www.focusonpalestine.org: NATIONAL EMERGENCY MOBILIZATION ON PALESTINE May 13 and 14, 2002 Hosted by the Arab American Institute & the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination CommitteeIn the next few weeks it is imperative for U.S. citizens concerned about the current situation in Palestine to join together. We must speak out against congressional bills and letters that are aimed at undermining U.S. relations with the Palestinian leadership and Arab countries and support legislation that advocates a balanced approach to the crisis. We must also encourage the U.S. government to support humanitarian efforts in Palestine. Speakers include:...
  • Condit article on front page of Globe tabloid

    The Globe | 05/11/02
    I never know how much of what I see in tabloids is real... they make up a lot of stuff but, then, nobody has the imagination to make up everything you see in tabloids. Who knows. That said, the front page of the edition of the Globe which is now in supermarkets is interesting to say the least. The cover reads: CHANDRA BOMBSHELL TWO of Condits political pals ordered her execution One is a GOVERNOR One ran for PRESIDENT That's what it says, and approximately the way it says it, and that's all I know.

    The following little discourse comes with two large caveats: One is that, while I and others believe the thesis to be correct, we view it as a theory and nobody is jumping up and down demanding that any of this be taught as a fact in public schools at public expense (like evolutionism); the time machine you'd need to PROVE any sort of a thesis like this one does not exist. The second caveat is for the benefit of certain kinds of simple-minded individuals (democrats, evolutionists etc. etc.) who would no sooner read about such a thesis, than think to...
  • Help talk John Warner into retirement

    John Warner, at 202 224-2023, needs to hear from a lot of people that there is no better time than right now for him to retire from public life. Lots of reasons, including gun issue stands and his sabatague of Ollie North's run for the senate, but the major thing which I cannot forgive was Kosovo. Having somebody who thinks it's cool to bomb christians for the benefit of muslims in charge of that senate armed forces committee is too much like having somebody drunk or on drugs driving an eighteen-wheeler down the highway of life. There figures to be...
  • SSSCA = Democrat Kick-Me sign

    Various ^ | 3/5/02 | Vince Freeman
    Numerous articles on RedHat, Slash-Dot, and similar geek sites tell of a major kind of a $#!T storm called SSSCA brewing. There is nothing sadder than seeing the democrap party walking around with a kick-me sign on it and nobody lining up to kick it. The whole world ought to be lining up to kick the dems over SSSCA; what they're talking about would be a nightmare of collosal proportions; the first thing I'd want to do would be to go out and immediately purshase several thousand dollars worth of present tech disk drives and CDROM drives. Imagine a black...

    DS Arms ^ | 02/27/02 | self
    At least one company has been advertising an aircraft aluminum FAL rifle receiver in trade journals recently and on the off chance anybody on FR might be tempted to ever try to build anything like that, I thought I'd mention this. DS Arms has a graphical and well-illustrated description of what happens after a couple of hundred shots. People on the bang_list probably ought to take a look at this one.

    Sixty years ago, the kinds of people who purpetrated 9/11 did not have the financial wherewithal to be doing anything like that; they mostly rode around the desert on camels and lived in tents. Given the nature of what we are faced with and the clear fact that the problem mainly arises from our dependency on foreign oil, you'd think it would be national policy to see that we used as little of the stuff as possible. The fact that no such policy has existed in the past does not prevent us from devising such a policy. One obvious way ...

    The problem with out political system is not difficult to comprehend. One of our two political parties has basically gone rogue. Coming out of the Roosevelt era, the democrats have simply never learned how to represent people who are basically getting by and succeeding on their own in life, and are finding it increasingly difficult to parlay their skills at representing victims into any sort of a winning program. They no longer represent anybody who could support a major party either in terms of votes or money; we thus find them trying to raise money in every nation on Earth ...

    Prophesy in Our Own Age? You would assume that Islam was a newer kind of religion than Christianity, since it post dates Christianity by about 600 years. Nonetheless, it turns out that Islam is actually an example of an older kind of religion, which had largely died out during the first two or three centuries of Christianity. Unlike Judaeism and normal kinds of Christianity, Islam involves a claim of prophesy in our own age. Now, when I say "our own age" here, I do not mean the last century versus the previous 10, or the last two centuries versus the ...

    I've got an idea for the next government of Afghanistan: George W. Bush should appoint one William J. (Slick) Clinton to be president-4-life of Afghanistan. Everybody wins. The Push-toons get a new government which, while wretched by American standards, would be miles ahead of anything they've had. Klinton gets an endless supply of women to whom the roughest sex he could come up with would seem like chivalry and gallantry compared to what they were used to, and the United States gets the benefit of having the sorry lunatic 12,000 miles from our shores until his final breath. In fact, ...

    It is not obvious to me that we have any sort of a moral duty to expend much more effort on Afghanistan than we already have. One possible approach: Mine every inch of ground for a couple of miles around all approaches to the mountain areas in which BinLaden and his al Quaeda band are thought to be hiding, set satellites and larger numbers of the armed predator drones above the place to watch for movement, keep one carrier group poised within range to attck anything which the drones and sattelites pick up moving in the whole country, and free ...

    Somebody might want to translate the following simple phrase into the most common language one encounters in Afghanistan and pass it along to any of our soldiers likely to encounter Afghani civilians: You know, buddy, only an A$$HOLE would make a woman walk around with something like that over her head; take if off this instant or I'll break both your ####ing arms.

    We read that the attack of Sept 11 cost at least $500,000 to organize. When I was a kid, these kinds of people didn't have that kind of money. The money to do that kind of thing, as well as to provide fundamentalist/lunatic regimes with modern weaponry comes from oil. The less we all use, and the more of what we do use we produce here, the safer we all are. You don't need to park the van or SUV permanently; just when you're not doing anything which REQUIRES a van or an SUV. Secondary vehicles for commuting, cruising, or ...
