Do you think we are alone in the universe?
Are we alone in the universe? There is an enormous amount of room in outer space, so what is the probability that humans are the only form of intelligent life in the whole universe? Many people have reported seeing aliens and some have told their stories of how they were abducted by aliens. Some may argue that it was their imagination, they seen a weather balloon or maybe it is true.
Now if there is such thing as an alien, what would make it an alien? Let’s keep the definition simple for what an alien is. Let’s consider them to be any living being that are capable of creating tools and machines. These beings should have the ability to one day (or already) be able to achieve some form of space travel.
Some may wonder if they are already out there watching everything that humans do. Perhaps there is no such thing, and earth is the only place in the universe that supports life. Maybe there are aliens out there, but just are unable to travel the vast distance to visit us.
What are your thoughts and reasons behind why you do or do not think there are aliens out there?
Global warming debate. Are people making it sound worse than it really is?

Are things bad with the environment or is it blown out of proportion?
Here we are pumping out enormous amounts of pollution from our factories, vehicles and power plants. Due to the carbon dioxide levels the human race is creating, we are being told that these gasses are causing the planet to heat up. The heating up of the planet is causing the melting of the ice caps, and changes weather patterns.
Now we are not talking about 15 degrees a year increases, but the increases are measurable. Some people say this is nothing to worry about and it is just a fluctuation which the planet cycles through. As for the Ice caps, they have been melting for a long time, well before man had factories and cars.
On the other hand we are being told if we do not change our habits now, we will not have a habitable planet in a couple of decades. We will have food shortages, un-breathable air that he been polluted and no way to correct the problem once the damage is done.
So the question is this, are scientists making global warming into a bigger deal than it really is? Perhaps they are crying Chicken Little, or perhaps they really do know what is best.
Creation vs Evolution debate. Is there a higher power that created us?
Posted by admin in Creation Vs. Evolution on May 19th, 2009
How did we come to be?
Where did we come from? How did we get here? Is human existence due to random acts of nature or was man created by a higher power.
Well these questions have been around for eons and the problems is that we are no were close to understanding the truth. The worst part is it will be many lifetimes before that truth is absolutely know to all.
There is the belief that a higher power is responsible for creating mankind. Then you have the almost exact opposite belief that the universe in its infinity and randomness was the reason for Life on earth. We then evolved from single celled organisms to what we are today.
One side refuses to believe that there is something more powerful that created mankind and they believe we evolved and are all related to other life forms on the planet. Connected in such a way that if traced back you can see where the evolutionary splits happened.
On the other side people refuse that we are related to primates and that we were created in god’s image. We were put here for a reason and that we should continue to pray to a higher power. They abide by written words passed down by higher beings.
Both sides try to refute the other, and both sides cannot be right. Evolutionists will try to prove through science how we evolved, and worshipers have bibles and faith as all the reason needed. The overall question is this; did a higher power create Man?
