Stanley Tarrant Long term,, well i guess we are starting to see genetic degridation as a result of medical science already. So that will quickly increase. I would guess that after another 5 or 6 generations at least half the population in developed countries will be unable to stay alive without medical intervention. That will continue to increase with all the old attributes no longer required for survival such as intelligence, athletisism, ability to prod

No, I am not fat..... yet. I am getting there however Gotta hit the gym and play less DA... you know how it is. My point was, from an evolutionary stand point being fat is just "different" from being thin. One is not really superior to the other. The fat person can more easily survive a plague that destroys alot of food or in environments with scarce food because a naturally fat person s

Maybe someone already made a mod for this? You should check it out in the library section. Do you know of a better planet invasion mod?

dystopic, So what is your stance? Medical technology good or bad? Should we shun all medical technology and live like cavemen to evolve naturally?

You think because you see us Americans getting fatter and fatter and more of us getting cancer that this is the result of "genetic degridation"? Americans are getting fatter because we are getting lazier. Not because of genetics. I bet if all Americans truly wanted to lose weight through excercise, only a very few of us with ulta-energy effi

For the love of God, will someone please do something about ground combat animation? Atari soldiers that look the same across all races firing the exact same lasers against the crane tanks and Happy Meal super tanks gets really, really old.

size is the 4th dimension not time. You lost me on this one. Time is the fourth dimension in this universe. Matematics seems to show more dimensional universes exist alongside our universe. STRICT MATHEMATICS AND LOGIC SHOW THIS. Might these other dimensions be God and the afterlife? When talking about other universes, you can talk about the 4th spacial dimension.

Did you close your eyes? The computer you were looking at during that post was made up of trillions of atoms! Several parts in the bible have a certain person "see", or "hear" god. So if he does exist and the bible is right, I should be able to see him. Oh really? Why is that? because scientists tell me that if I used a powerful, electron microscope, I could then see the atoms that are impossible to see with the naked eye? Sorry, but when I l

Jamius, is this a joke? Are you actively trolling, or do you seriously believe that something glorifying thugs, psychopaths, and mass murderers is acceptable? I don't mean this post as a personal attack, just please think through the ramifications of what you are proposing and the perceptions you create by doing so. How is this different from the Drengin? They are a race of murders, etc., etc. Shoot the whole premise of this game is making the galaxy

I would rather watch my entire family gassed to death in slow motion in a Nazi theater than to be in Heaven assumming I made it, and forced to live forever with the knowledge that God has forsaken them to Hell for all eternity. Shoot, why not make a Nazi themed civiliazation? In the game Alpha Centari, you had the faction, the Lord's beleivers.

Your arguments on evolution are correct in the short term but incorrect for the long term. What are we talking about when we talk long term? A million years? A thousand years? I don't even want to guess where we will be in a thousand years. A million years is just unfathomable when you think about the advancements made on an almost daily basis. It is infintely more likely are awesome technology will end up vaporizing us as in atomic war than us dyin

what i was trying to say is that our universe is governed by laws. we may not know them all yet, but we can reasonably assume that a force we don't know yet will also be ruled by a law. agreed? I agree with this.

ShadowWorrior: no justifications needed! the bible is such a random assortment of texts, and was assembled only in 325 at the council of nicea, when a bunch of guys voted on which texts to include and which to leave out. and they left out some pretty interesting ones at that! like the gospel of judas. yep, that's right! judas has his own version of the story, and it goes much like in "the last temptation of christ"(1988),a great film to watch if you h

any universal force, currently measurable or not, must follow a universal law. What about possible universal forces from other dimensions or other universes that are currently impossible for us to measure or observe? Aren't there many scientists who acknowledge that at the birth of our universe, there used to be a perfect 10 dimensional universe that split into the 4 dimensional universe we see now? And the other 6 dimensions?? Many aethesist scientis

What makes a champion athlete? If all other factors can be matched by your opponents, at the end of the day, only one thing counts - genetics. Genetics is the only thing your sporting opponents cannot match, therefore it is genetics that makes champions. Why wouldn't gentically super strong athletes emerge nowadays? See, you are living in a fantasy world where apparently all the healthy and strong kids are abstaining from sex and all the sickos are the o

Also medical science is hard at work developing 'super bugs' (as you mentioned) for future generations to enjoy as well. Super bugs are nature's response to our awesome medical technology. Our medical technology has enabled us to go from 1.5 billion humans in 1900 to over 6 billion humans now. As a matter of fact, approx. 5% of all the humans that have ever, ever lived (since we began as a species 1 million years ago or 6,000 years ago (whether you ar

Has anyone seen that episode of Red Dwarf where Lister turns the news on and the news anchor says that archeologists found the first page to the bible with "All characters in this book are fictional and should not be taken literally" written on it! Have to agree with you there. The Bible makes God out to be an paradoxial, pure evil, multiple personalty disordered bastard. That is if the entire Bible is taken litterally and is true.

Anyways, Antibody you are right on the spot with the website. The author should have been more careful with his words. At this time, God cannot be proven to exist anymore that he can be proven to not exist. Anyone that claims 100% proof of existence or non-existence is incorrect. I just look at all the evidence. I reason in my mind. In my mind, having looked at all the evidence I conclude that near death experiences are a true afterlife experience. Can I prove they are? Of course I can't
