Thanks for some entertaining reading.

I love this one

From 1859 -- when Charles Darwin's Origin of the Species was published -- to the present; from Marx, Nietzche, and Huxley to Stalin, Hitler, and Mao, Darwinism has been used to justify class struggle, racial purity, genocide, and the mass slaughter of innocents. Make no mistake. If today's evolutionists get their perfect world, evil will occupy the throne.
Bwahahahaha.

In light of your article, I feel I should point out that the Vatican's officially accepted the truth of Evolution. Now if you're not Catholic you may not care, but they do use the same bible your article was quoting.

This is interesting and shows how much we still have to explore and learn about our universe and the "rules" it operates by.

Wonder if the bubbles don't mess with the equipment a bit?

can i ask one question?
Just a simple thing i always wonder... cellphone towers are bad with signal no matter where you are.
How do they communicate with the probe? and how accurate or even strong must the signal be !!

Quite interesting, still going through it.

I love the decription of the dinosaur/dragon by Job. Although it is intersting how often dragons do appear in varied folklore. Ranging from Scandinavia to China. This "idea" had to come from somewhere?

Well, I'm not well versed in this particular field, but I would imagine there's less interference involved. After all, you're transmitting the signal through empty space, mostly. There are no buildings, mountains (or mine dumps if you're in Gauteng :) ), trees, other transmitters, etc. etc. to mess with the signal.

no idea where it came from, but I do know that Far eastern dragons (China, Japan) look nothing like dinosaurs. Most of them look like serpants or snakes. Sometimes with wings.

yes but remember all the magnetic fields and unknown out there!
sometimes i wonder if its really possible.

i mean if you think about it... we can only work with what we know and what is on earth... the unknown is really scary also taking into account that there are asteroids, meteors, solar flares, entering another atmosphere... yet the probe missed al of that...

You know how big your cell antenna is right? Now think about how big the antennae are that they use to communicate with objects in space. Simple.
Plus both dishes are parabolic meaning much less signal gets wasted unlike a cellphone which just broadcasts everywhere.

Actually, it's really easy to miss a lot of that stuff. Space is very well named. There's a LOT of emptyness

hmmm yes. Alot of cultures came up with the idea / myth of dragons independently of each other?

I have this picture in my mind if a dragon in a spaceship. Then I think of a dragon sitting on a harley smoking a cig looking up at the stars wondering if there is any intelligent life out there and if they also pay tax.
