Yes it was you sorry, should have made that more clear, Well I find it kind of offensive that you lump them all into one bag, Example, me. One I don't believe in destiny, I don't believe God interferes with everything all the time. I think God gave us free will, and to quote a futurama episode I don't completely understand, "If you do your job right, people won't know if you did anything at all" SO i don't really like your stereotyping, I have doubts and confusion, but I am proud of those doubts, they tell me I'm not a robot to the way I was raised, or to the popular scientific viewpoint. And just because you have a sincere belief in god doesn't mean you can't be a world class scientist. Michael Faraday, one of my hero's growing up believed very much in a Creator , yet, made a lasting impact in both Chemistry and Physics, and creating many of the devises that make this modern world, such as the generator and an electric motor

Mylar was inventad in the early-mid 50's so that stuff from the 'crash' COULDN'T have been mylar,
And the stuff in the photo doesn't look to me like tinfoil, it looks more like mylar, but it hadn't been inventad yet
By the way this is an often related topic, do any of you think the moon landings were fake? If so I would like to have a rolliking time debating THAT!

To live is to die, to have died you must once have lived. A rock may be dead, but it has never died. ( except limestone and coal and other such 'rocks')Am I really confusing the porpose of life with its meaning? Wikipedia:
QuoteWhen the question "What is the meaning of life?" is asked, one of a variety of questions may be implied, such as: "What is the nature of life (and of the universe in which we live)?","What is the significance of life"What is the purpose of, or in, (one's) life?", and "What is valuable in life?"
1.I admit what said doesnt quite explain this aspect but...2.I think lifes significance is the very fact that it IS alive, whatever alive may be, life is just such a rare and wonderful thing 3. Life's purpose, to me, is to live. 'Nuff said. 4. I think the most valuable thing in life is to live. I think those who closter themselves off from the world in an attempt to understand life, are as foolish as man who blots out his eyes in attempt to find out more about sight. Live your life we are of this world and part of it and again alive, its wonderful bittersweet, thing to be alive, but despite all the heartace and trouble, I am so glad to be alive, it is quite an honour to be an "I"

I think the meaning of Life is to LIVE.
Think about it, this dance of complexity we call life lasts just the tinest drop in the cosmic span. But for that brief and oh so preshous less-then- moment, never to be repeted in the hisory of the cosmos, we...are ALIVE. We live,  we breathe,  we make war, and we love. And not only that, but we can know ourselvs and the universe and say Hey I am Alive, hear me Roar!We are ALIVE, that's right be proud of it! We are who we ARE! We are not all good nor all bad, we are, LIVING LOVING KNOWING BALLS OF LIFE and that is the meaning of life,  LIFE IS MEANT TO LIVE! for less then the blink of the universe, you are something totally unique and unimaginable and will never exist again. but for this time, you, are, ALIVE!

I believe in god and I don't believe in fate, just what are you implying? I guess if we invented gods, it was because we cannot stand the Silence. We cannot stand the universes indifferance to us, it drives us to search for something we can argue with, plead and beg, negotiate with. We want something to shake our fist at.

It would have been nice for you to at least source that quote, I had to google it and while it is very apt I don't think it is quite fair to assume that everyone knows or watches the same tv shows as you.

On a personal level I believe in God. It gives me a kind of comfort, is that so wrong? On a scientific level I just don't think I have enough data to decide. I believe in an ultimate truth, like though you can't say absolutely wether the earth is spinning counterclockwise or clockwise or wether it is the rest of the universe is spinning in the opposite direction or maybe its just you, but SOMETHING is still spinning. but I don't think we are at the lies-told-to-children stage yet,  let know alone enough to decide one way or the other on the issues that have been plaguing humanity since we became whatever it is we are. I dislike atheists who claim that they have it all figured out and the rest of us are just rubes, ditto with deists who claim the same. I am probably going to get flack for this but it seems to me the sometimes, like with any strong opinion, wether politicks or sports teams, or fanboyism, atheism  becomes at the very least quasi religious. but like any religion if it comforts you then well, good luck I hope you find a lifetime of happiness and fufillment, I just think otherwise. I admit I was brought up in a quite religious family, but I do have the vanity to thnk I am at least a groaper after truth.

Elfwood ain't bad, but they recently removed the rules test, so know i'm sure even more ' i doodled on my school book, lets upload!" will join. But it has a lot of beutiful work,

I would like to write, I got a story I wrote at age 12 published in the members-contribution edition of a magazine (Clubhouse by focus on the family if you must know)plus I got a few storys up on elfwood ( look up "only" and "dead soldiers") I don't have any experience with journalism of any kind but, I think writing about something I am passionate about would be a great start.

I find mandolins quite relaxing, the sound reminds me of that last cup of tea in the pot, warm and a bit cold on the lips but warms you up, with that hint of tannon to make your mouth feel all furry.
