Albert Einstein was not the student that had that argument.
this is a quote by Albert Einstein

Einstein also stated: "I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth

In a 1950 letter to M. Berkowitz, Einstein stated that "My position concerning God is that of an agnostic. I am convinced that a vivid consciousness of the primary importance of moral principles for the betterment and ennoblement of life does not need the idea of a law-giver, especially a law-giver who works on the basis of reward and punishment."[2] Einstein as an "agnostic" has been referred to as an agnostic theist,[3] sometimes called as a form of deism or pantheism. Einstein referred to his belief system as "cosmic religion", and authored an eponymous article on the subject in 1954 which became a book in 1955.[4] The belief system recognized a "miraculous order which manifests itself in all of nature as well as in the world of ideas", rejected a personal deity who rewards and punishes, rejected a conflict between science and religion, and moreover held that cosmic religion was necessary for science.[4] "God," he says, "is a mystery. But a comprehensible mystery. I have nothing but awe when I observe the laws of nature. There are not laws without a lawgiver, but how does this lawgiver look? Certainly not like a man magnified

@ RippeR

Can you please show me your calculations (by Science) how you calculate the 10 000 years you are talking about?

And as Onyx said the magnetic field does NOT generate heat!!! The magnetic field generated by the molten core of the earth has protected the earths atmosphere for many many moons against the battering we get form the sun. Without the earths magnetic field we would not have any air to breathe and would be battered to a pulp with all the radiation emitted from the sun.

Your theory on how they date Dino bones, almost had me pissing myself

If I may ask what do you do for a living?

Oh...I love this game. :woohoo:

I will give my 2 cents tonight...

10 out of 10 for Creator for explaining the magnetic field


I really do think its hard to start an argument when you dont know what you are talking about... A lot of people here are from different areas of work and experience. For instance I work as a systems programmer for an international geological survey company... in short I write software that measures magnetic fields on the planet Bob "Earth"

Please make it your 5 cents worth as the bank doesn't accept 2 cent coins anymore Bwahahahahahaha

I quoted a post by Ceratogyrus in the light of(and on the lighter side of)evolution:

That's so interesting! Never knew you could keep pokies in a communal. The cage would have to be really big right? Can anyone plse put some pics on the forum of a setup like that? Would love to see it!!!


Taking into consideration scarab's chat in another thread, they are more co-habituating (If that's the correct word), so the less space, the better.
My communal of 9 fasciata's are in a tank of 15x15x25cm. Getting a bit small now, but will be rehousing soon into a slightly bigger enclosure.
The theory is that if they are given the opportunity to make their own "territories" then they get aggressive with each other, whereas if they are forced to interact, it reduces the in-fighting. Who knows if this is actually true though.
Search "communal" and look for a thread by mammon. He was in the process of trying a communal with a few different species.

As for the "communal" species this is what I have heard of:

Avicularia avicularia - Works sometimes and other times total failure
Hysterocrates gigas - Works great most of the time
Holothele incei - Works great
Monocentropus balfouri - Works great
Poecilotheria fasciata - Works great most of the time
Poecilotheria regalis - Works great most of the time
Poecilotheria striata - ? I have a communal, so will see how it goes. Know mammon had a communal too.
Poecilotheria metallica - Heard they work great
Poecilotheria formosa - Heard they work great, will be trying it soon.
Poecilotheria ornata - Had a communal of 8 that ended in 1 fat spider

Btw,if anyone can believein God by means of faith alone, can it be that hard to apply a bit of faith and believe in evolution?
I peacefully and comfortably believe in both!
