if we are created beings and not a product of a natural evolution of something....and since we are told that we are created beings...... does this make us an artificial life form?.
and what exactly would an artificial life form be intended for by its creator?.
Yes, we are "meatbots" and we are programmed from the start. Occasionally a meatbot goes defective and starts to deprogram and then self program. It is very rare though.
"Negative, I am a meat popsicle." 500 points for the where the quote comes from.

Radio shack used to have electronics kits, not sure if they still do.
now that they have merged how do you like it.
having been a dj back in the late 70's early 80's, i loved to listen to the 70's on 7 on xm.
the morning dj john clay was excellent.
I had free Sirius too, and I was unimpressed with the sound quality as well.
wow.
i'm only 15 minutes in, but i'm already feeling smothered.
the marching matrons of the town singing "that old time religion" sends chills up my spine.. has anyone seen this?
Geez, what would Ozzie and Harriet have thought of such a movie with quotes like that? Sounds like an interesting drama about Scopes.
ya....as you know i am pathetic...a cryer.....oompa.
there are even some andy griffith shows that make me cry..... i wrote a song that almost always makes me cry when i play it....but cant post it as it would totally out me...in case my other revealing threads have not...tired of the game.....oompa.
i know it is pathetic...but sleepless in seattle make me cry...and ya...i love the soundtrack................. .
Ok, this is very dorky, but there's always one Star Trek: TNG episode that always makes something get stuck in my eye, "The Inner Light". Yeah yeah, laugh it up.
I can't really think of any songs that do it for me off the top of my head.
we seems to me that world news has become totally dominated by the global financial crisis.
the world will be looking to obama when he takes office to see what he has planed to address the problems in the us housing, financial and automotive sectors.
it strikes me that as soon as we see the signs of impending financial hard times, our leaders jump to the rescue.
Fusion would be great BTS, but it's been just around the corner for about as long as we've been alive. I don't think it would be prudent to assume that fusion power will be widely available anytime soon. I hope it does happen and we can make a successful transition to a type I civilization, but until then we as a species have a lot of growing up to do.

The question is when, and will mankind be able to shutdown in an orderly way?
Sadly, I think history points to no. Maybe we will be able to overcome our animalistic tendencies, but I think wars over dwindling resources are likely.

The environment does not produce resources.
The human mind does.
Would you prefer things extracted from the environment to produce goods be called raw material? Whatever you want to call it my point is still the same.

Who cares if they were producing goods for worship, or self, the point is they used more resources than their environment produced. Who can have the biggest statue? Who can have the biggest house, SUV? It's all the same end result. Easter Island was a small scale example of unsustainable consumption of resources, they ran out and their civilization collapsed.
The other Polynesian cultures weren't nearly as isolated. The Earth is our Easter Island, we have nowhere else to go for now, we should be working towards long term sustainability rather than short term individual gain.
