Science will never stop. As we develop instruments that enhance our senses more of the unknowable will become known. I can guarantee however that no instrument will discover god, invisible pink unicorns or even the existence of the flying spaghetti monster.

Science Stoppers
by Coded Logic ina science stopper is " a hypothesis that makes no testable or useful predictions and therefore prevents any science from being performed based on that hypothesis.
" a common example of this would be the claim that god(s) created our universe.
having no way of telling "created" universes apart from "non-created" universes prevents the claim from ever being verified or from being debunked.

E-Watchman: Sides with Tony III on the pants issue and more.......
by AFRIKANMAN instumbled upon bob the king's site and read some of his literary offerings.. .
he is strongly of the opinion that the tony toids remarks re: the tite pants is straight down the line:"" i have to say i agree with brother morris.
i dont think there is any question that gays dominate the fashion world, as well as the entertainment media.

Bill Cosby - too much smoke for no fire?
by Simon init seems like the list of people who are accusing him of rape and sexual assault is growing every day.
i'm skeptical of single accusations but the number of people and the similar stories seem overwhelming now.. it's not a conviction but to the court of public opinion ... guilty?.

The allegations are coming thick and fast.
Not quite Jimmy Saville but still pretty shocking.

Creationist Should Dismiss Genesis Quickly
by Coded Logic inchris tann,.
in your earlier post you seemed to be under the impression that genesis and science were somehow compatible .
however, the truth is the two are not reconcilable at all.

just wanted to introduce myself
by TheMark ini've been a lurker for quite some time and enjoy the forum.
i've reached a point in life where i don't argue ideologies anymore so i don't have much to say.
i've been out for decades and believe i've been mostly de-cultabilized (if that's even a word).. my family is still in and i haven't had contact with them in years.

Preaching is a waste of time
by konceptual99 inbefore anyone gives me the "bears/wood" similarities, this is a post based on insidethekh's reply on the mormon v jw thread.
(http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/287545/1/who-is-copying-who-jws-or-mormons) i like to see wt friendly posts on here as some of the wt bashing displays the same logical fallacies as levelled against the wts and it's followers so it's good to consider reasoned debate.. on the one hand i think itkh makes a fair point if you compare the worldwide success of mormons v jws but there is an overall context to the preaching work that is completely ignored by those fully "in" and has been a major factor in my move from being an active witness to one on the cusp of getting out.
from a statistical point of view there are great headline numbers presented by the wts but if you put them in the context of the number of witnesses, conversation ratios, ratio of new witnesses to birth rates, numbers that must be leaving, growth differentials across the globe, penetration in muslim nations and so on then these numbers become meaningless.

I don't see any door to door activity in my area these days. All I see are brothers / sisters looking half comatosed in the vicinity of a cult cart.

Vic'n'Bob ... in the US?
by LoveUniHateExams ini must be mad for starting this thread, but here goes: i quite like vic reeves and bob mortimer.
before you all jump on me, i realise that their humour is often childish and very hit-or-miss, to say the least.. however, when i'm in the right mood, some of their sketches are simply hilarious.. i was also wondering how british humour is received in other countries, particularly the us.. .

I remember the first time I saw them on Ben Elton's Friday night live in the mid 80's, I thought they were infantile and banal especially compared to Jo Brand and Harry Enfield who aslo started on that show. They grew on me somewhat as their careers progressed, and TBH I quite liked shooting stars.
Edit - to answer your question, I don't think some of their humour would translate too well in the US.
