  1. What are you going to do about this? http://www.news.com.au/world/asia/death-penalty-case-sydney-man-peter-gardner-to-face-guangzhou-court-over-drug-charges/story-fnh81fz8-1227327323067
  2. You should check - this is a Bi-Partisan Policy, not the ego of a big noter.
  3. Ececution about says it all. Drugs are right through our community in Australia. A few weeks ago over 500 people attended an Ice meeting in Mount Gambier, with subjects involving allegations of suppliers working the schools, and requests for a drug rehabilitation unit at the Hospital.
  4. It would be, on second thoughts stick with the cute idea that a piece of bread can turn into Jesus Christ.
  5. Since those who have read this thread all know the fraud of Christ now Marty, even you, you shouldn't be wasting your time on nonsensical minutae.
  6. Don't mess with Octave's understanding of what science means Bex, it's a dark place!
  7. So how do they stop the groundwater draining through the cracks they make in the rock?
  8. See earlier posts on these cycles vs the current one.
  9. As the temperature rises, some parts of Australia will become tropical, getting more rainfall and making millions for those who own land there, while other parts, like Melbourne will have less rainfall.
  10. He was talking about MELBOURNE, which is what I said. And the result of climate change in this area is less rain. He was not talking about areas outside of Melbourne which may be irrigated and therefore irrelevant.
  11. For the climate change deniers. Listened to a turf expert a couple of days ago explaining that virtually all of Melbourne's Rye grass lawns had been replaced by Fescue, because rye grass can't handle the ambient temperatures we have today. That's directly in line with what the Department of Primary Industry expected in 2000.
  12. Given that we found during the course of this thread, belief in God going back 30,000 years, and mankind going back a couple of hundred thousand years, sounds like someone's been asleep.
  13. What's significant about 6300 years?
  14. I regularly eat rice.
  15. Just to make it clear, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were one of the seven wonders of the world, and have nothing to do with the Bible, whether Facthunter's "Garden of Eden" or anything else.
  16. Who is jebus Bex?
  17. The Babylon gardens were elevated and well documented by historians and archaeologists, so it wasn't there, but you'd have to eliminate all the earlier civilizations around the world to get back to two people.
  18. I think you'll find the stories were written for local consumption in "their" world, so the Ark may have held a couple of camels, desert foxes, ravens, hares and horses. In New Zealand it seems to have been mainly sheep and one Moa.
  19. "Adam" and "Eves" real names (Ahmed and Salome) were suppressed to protect them from the outrage of all the other people when they realised these two had screwed it for everyone else. Courts do the same thing today.
  20. Oddly enough, the flood story is corroborated by the history of many civilizations around the world, and the Ark story in quite a few. Since we know the whole earth cannot be inundated by the volume of ice and water, it's probable that many parts of the world may have been inundated at some time in history, and it's not out of the question that people put what animals and plants they could in boats.
  21. I see the athesists are telling God what he should have done now.
  22. Probably driven to distraction by this thread, I visited an Op Shop, and found a Readers Digest book called "Great Lives Great Deeds". It's around 600 pages and covers about 70 of the world's most amazing people from Sir Charles Kingsford Smith to Voltaire to Socrates to Leonardo Da Vinci to Strauss to Ferdinand Magellan etc. Each person gets a very short biography, and two of the most outstanding are on Winston Churchill, where we see previously untold information and Napoleon Bonapart whose major activities came AFTER he escaped from prison. Sir Isaac Newton is also featured. The most we ever seemed to be taught about him were Newtons Laws. "Principia", written in Latin, was his most stunning work, and the book says that "for two centuries it was the major guide to the world's scientific thought" Then there is this little gem of information from such a brilliant brain: "He showed how to determine the mass of the Sun and the planets. He proved that the gravitational force of the moon and the sun causes tides in the oceans of the earth, that sping tides occur when moon and sun are pulling together, neap tides when the forces are opposed. Such a wonderful uniformity as he found in the planetary system must, Newton said, 'be allowed the effect of choice' by a Supreme Creator.
  23. He seems to be attacked more than he attacks, and is mostly retaliating. He also tends to pick up lazy spelling rather than belt anyone who has an obviously poor education.
  24. He's just reading a chart which recorded the financial record of the Labor Party, and it looks as if he is close to end end of the chart.
  25. Not always. I did wrote a big tender, spell checked the lot, then got someone else to proof read it. There were still about 10 mistakes - typos mainly like "and" instead of "an", and if you use an american spell check you'll have several mistakes usually. I'm curious as to why some people have been dropping the "n" off "an" when using it before a vowell (short) I caught a cold: the a is pronounced "u" However when the next word starts with a vowel an "n" is added to smooth the sentence, yet we see: I ate a apple I boiled a egg I found a igneous rock I peeled a orange I found a umpire Read it out loud and you'll see what I mean I ate an apple etc, sounds much smoother in speech, and the reader is also able to read it more fluently.
