  your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

  k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

  in nature amino acids formed to then form dna.

  my son sent me a wonderful song a month ago on this thread.

  it's amazing how a bad experience can trigger action.

  I really hope it works out for you and your son Kate. The spite and bitterness in these situations can be so damaging to children.

  can anyone remember that classic magazine article that stated:.

  "education teaches one how to think, but propaganda tells one what to think" ?.

  (if someone can post that quote and article that would be great!).

  Giles...

  k99-" I appreciate you trying to support mine and notsures' line of reasoning..."
  I wasn't actually supporting either of you. I wouldn't be so rude as to assume such a roll. Both of you are more than competent at looking after your own affairs.

  I guess I meant taking up the mantle of trying to get Kate to provide more reason and logic about why and how she came to her conclusion on guided evolution. I think Coded Logic has finally said what I couldn't be arsed to say and good on him, you, cofty et al for keeping it going.

  Possible Military Coup in Turkey!

  by cofty in

  if this does turn out to be the case it could have very serious implications.... turkey hovers between western freedom and democracy and an islamic hell.

  europe has been bending over backwards to keep turkey on-side and promising it fast-tracked entry to the eu in return for it's cooperation in controlling mass migration from the east.. the situation is unclear at the moment but there are tanks on the streets....

  I get your point CL but the West's repeated bombing and incursions into the middle east have never ended well as they have always seemed simply to be the will of the US. I have no aversion to seeing Western peacekeepers on the ground and don't think the west should not be involved in the democratic process but if the locals are going to pissed off I'd rather they were pissed off with each other rather than us.

  So far the Arab world has been piss poor at policing themselves and it's about time they stepped up and supported the West (and even Russia) in trying to get some stability back. Right now they are happy to blame the US and take a back seat.

  here is an idea i tested.

  works at both assemblies and conventions.

  i have noticed at the last convention and at my last assembly that when i opened up my wifi setting, tons of hotspots came up for people tethering their tablets to their smart phones.

  If anyone should be sorting Syria and ISIS out it's the rest of the Arab world. The only real chance of restoring the area back to some semblance of order is if Muslim peacekeepers are there. Where the hell are the Saudis, the UAE and so on? They should be leading things. We've given them enough weapons.

  I don't think that's an impossible scenario by any stretch of the imagination SBF but I think there's a way to go before it becomes a real danger. I think Putin would be very wary of going into Turkey. He took a risk with the Crimea but kept the lid on the support for the proxy war in the east of Ukraine. He's a master brinksman. I think he knows unilateral encroachment into Turkey would really be risking the wrath of NATO and even he doesn't want an actual war with the West.

  There was talk about that earlier in the thread. The best way of doing that would probably to use a Arduino or Raspberry Pi based device. You would create a low power PC basically with a Wifi AP. People connect and can see a web page and/or get documents.

  There might be some merits to this but I think it's the law of diminishing returns. A non accessible SSID message is a very simple and safe way of letting people know there are dissenters within the midst. I suspect the majority of curious ones would want to follow a link when there are no other people around.

  What would be even more powerful is if at every CA and RC each person awake to TTATT did it. Seeing a handful or more SSIDs when searching for Wifi would be fantastic in my book. I encourage everyone who still has to go to an event to do it.
