Do you think science can answer all our questions? And if it can´t, are those questions meaningless? Do you think science approve any religion? Is there a mystery science will not ever solve?

 

As most of you know i trust science. But i have some questions unanswered. According to law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed: it can only be transformed from one state to another.As you know whole universe exists of many forms of energy. My mind can´t imagine a situation energy existed always without a starting point. I think that there must be a starting point of everything. But i think our brain has its limits. As Kant says our brain functions depending on space and time concepts. And we think everything has a starting point. We can´t imagine anything that doesn´t have any starting point. But according to law of conservation of energy, energy always existed. It doesn´t have a starting point. It is not created. How can we solve this dilemma?

 

Same situation is valid for the God? Is there a God? If you think there is, did he created himself or he existed always? What are your arguments?

 

 Yep, that is the 1st law of Thermodynamics.  I think you mean it can only change from one form to another, for instance, energy is contained fossil fuels (embodied energy), take coal and when it is burned in a fire the energy is released as heat and carbon is released into the atmosphere.

 

I can´t answer the question of a starting point for energy, I guess the scientists who discovered thermodynamic would have the answer.

 

I don´t believe in God, and have not done so since I was a child when no one could tell me how a God could let children die (children of my age) when they were at school in the Aberfan Disaster in 1966 - over 100 children died in the school when a coal waste slid onto the school and suffocated those children.  And then the question, well if there is a God how come no one has seen him?  No one could answer that either.  I have plenty of reason why I don´t believe in God.  I believe in evolution, and scientific reasoning.  In my view science can prove most things and as far as I am aware it has not proven there is a God.  Without science we would not be where we are today.

I just got home from alanya, and I can´t stop thinking of this guy I met there. He works as a bartender so i met him when I was having drinks with my girlfriends. He gave me roses and told me how beautiful. He was very kind and we went out that night together. Now I can´t help to wonder if this is something he sais to all tourist girls who comes to his bar.. He was just so adorable, so I hope he ment it.

 

Anyone who has experience of this??

 

 

And I bet you weren´t the only one that week either, and as soon as you have gone, he will have moved on to the next few girls.

 

If you gave him your MSN or similar, wait for the sob story asking for money.......

 

Half of this website contains stories like yours.....

Right! Forget about the diets! Just stick to some practical guidelines:

 

  • Eat slowly, it takes time for the brain to think you have eaten enough.
  • Drink water before the meal and don´t drink it when eating. Drink 1.5/2 lts of water a day and drink it along the day.
  • Eat more veggies. At least one main course should be veggies. It takes 2 hours to digest veggies compared 4 hours for meats. veggies have less calories and keep you filled longer
  • Eat fruits in small portions. Half of a banana, a small apple for example. Haha! What do you do with the other half of banana?
  • Do not eat sweets more than once or twice a week and prefer light ones like "sütlaç" "muhallebi", "kazandibi" etc.
  • Take fats moderately. 4-5 spoons of olive oil a day should be enough. Are you saying little spoon like you use for stirring you tea?
  • Don´t give up eating carbonhydrates. 60% of daily intake should be carbonhydrates. This is too much!  Carbohydrates turn to fat if not burn up!!
  • Do not eat late. You should have your dinner by 1900.

 Good advice Si with a couple of reservations..... and celery is a negative food, it uses more calories to digest that it contains

Whenever I hear Holy Ghost it makes me think of this religion-skit by Eddie Izzard

(the God, Jesus, Holy Ghost part comes at about 4:45, but the rest is funny too!)

 

 Reminds me of Ricky Gervais on Atheism....

In my view there are no martyrs...... only living people claim that someone who chose to die fighting for a cause is a martyr !

Quoting Thebirdy

destroying cemeteries, churches or other places of spiritual worshipping is nothing but cowardice and the will to eredicate someone´s cultural and historical heritage. It is not only an act of vandalism itself but also disrespect towards collective heritage, values or emotions held by certain groups or ethnicities. Those who commit such things want to deprive them of their memories. Unfortunately it happens all over the world to any dominations or religions.Pity that the places that are designed to peace are instruments of political struggle.

 

I agree, and how distressing it is for those whose loved ones graves have been damaged by mind less thugs.  I have seen stories where the graves of young children have been destroyed and any ornaments have been stolen.  I find it totally sickening.

D´oh!

Why would I try to defend Poles - I don´t know even one homeless one, let alone a homeless one in London so I wouldn´t know what they eat. Of course tabloids look for sensation and, as millions of Poles flooded the UK, they became the favourite target group of the gutter press which loves making up stories. I have never heard about Poles eating swans or mice in Poland. Why shoud they do it in the country that has a social system so easy to milk that it´s hard to imagine somebody would actually be homeless - that I don´t know. But I guess anything can happen. Would tabloids be able to tell a Polish immigrant from a Czech one? Or a Ukrainian passing for Lithuanian? I doubt it...

 

And i know Si++ wants to provoke but let´s be honest - I´m not Turkish, I don´t feel the need to defend the Polish pride in the collective national sense. I don´t eat mice, why should I take offence in what he said. Is it possible that some Poles eat mice? I have no idea so I can´t say I´m 100% sure they don´t. Seems better to me than starving.

 

 

 Sadly there are several living homeless along with other Eastern Europeans, in Peterbough when they lost their jobs and can´t get benefits.  Some have been living under tarpaulins on a roundabout.  Some of them have been repatriated but others refuse.  They are living in terrible squalid conditions.  Some are living in houses of multiple occupation in dangerous conditions and being taken advantage of by unscrupulous landlords. 

It is a very sad situation.

I am sure many countries have stuplid pointless laws that hardly anyone knows about still on the statute book.  Here is one of my favourites, feel free to add your own from your country (US has loads I know!!)

 

It is an offence for failing to report to the authorities, the siting of a grey squirrel....

 

here is another one,

 

It is an offence to be drunk in charge of a cow

İf because of an illness  you get fat its not right to throw you out like a garbage.

 

 Not many people get fat because of an illness.... most get fat because they eat to much.  I don´t know about other countries, but in the UK you could not get sacked because you are too fat to be in the airplane but you would be moved to other duties.  We have very strict employment laws, equality laws and discrimination laws - in fact we have a law for most things {#emotions_dlg.lol_fast}
