true. Ordinary explanations also require evidence. So many times, we hear of unusualy sightings in the sky being explained as swamp gas, weather baloons, etc. Are ordinary explanations for extraordinary happenings immune from requirements of proof?

Do you think of Doctor King's quote from 'Strength to Love":

"Science gives us knowledge, which is power, religion gives us morals, which is control"

In this light, don't we both need our counterpart, yes?

I saw the Nature broadcast last night (12-23-2007), entitled

Christmas in Yellowstone

then I came up with this question today.

I wonder if the glaciers ever made it to that part of the country(?) and did they change the geothermic nature of the
area by putting pressure on the crust, etc.?

Well, since I know it's pretty much true,

Do new brain cells replace old ones or do you just keep losing brain cells? Does that mean if you hit your head alot, you'll lose memory?

My antigravity propulsion engine consists of four electric motors,that are out of balanced by weight and silver wire,for increaced electric flow on one side.On the top and bottom of the motors I have a gyro with the magnets to force the motors down and semi stall them on the way up,creating upward lift on the device.Were do I go with this?Do I make it public knowledge till some agent buys me out?

The Earth has a 'weak' gravitational force which allows us to stand and jump yet it has a powerful enough force to pull the Moon.

The Sun has a massive gravitational force which can pull all the planets, moons,comets, ect, but yet something as small as a space ship or satellite can just fly around without being pulled into the sun.

A man can get out of his ship and work and will not be pulled into any planet or star.

Distance you tell me ?

If you have a magnet and a large and small piece of metal wouldn't you be able to pull the small piece from a futher distance ?

On space scale people and space ships are less then an grain of salt in comparison with worlds and stars.

If the sun can pull Jupiter or lets say Pluto 'a block of ice' into slow orbit from billions and billions of miles away wouldn't anything as small as us be spun around the sun at inconceivable speeds or be pulled into the Sun out right ?

can you, as a scientist, believe in God without physical evidence? Can you expand your thoughts to believe reality is more than what we currently know, more than what science tells us?
