I am not fond of Hitler believe me, nor do I wish to offend anyone by this question. But I ask it because there are not many who would say that Hitler wasnt a bad man. But was he a bad man, because he was put into power by people who seeked an evil agenda, and needed a scapegoat to blame? Or was he just evil and dominated the people. I often wonder who dominated who?

I was just told by someone here that after the flood, there was not enough vegetation for the dinosaurs to live on. A few weeks ago on this same site, I saw christians saying that the flood didn't flood the entire world, just the river (or as far as Noah could see). So which is it? Can you people get your story straight?

In 1997, a wave was brought to the science world, when a scientist of “Rossali Institute” named lan Bilmut and his associates created a sheep named ‘Dolly’ by cloning method. Clone means ionize (without sexual intercourse). The other meaning of clone is “replica” also. This move was heartily welcome by the science world, because by this process any part of the human body can be recreated. Any creature which is on the verge of extinction can be saved by this method. In U S A, the scientists of ‘Oregon Regional Private Research Center’ cloned a monkey. The scientists of Taiwan cloned a kind of swine which was on extinction. But, this joy didn’t last long. Within a year or two the cloned creatures started showing the sign of old age. Why did it happen like this ? To understand this we have to get in to the process of cloning first. The scientists took out a cell from the ‘udder’ of a white sheep and placed it between nutritious elements. Slowly the quantity of the elements got reduced. In result the cell became inactive and the division in it stopped. Next, an immature egg of a female black pigmented sheep was taken and the DNA of it was separated out from it. Now the egg lacking in a nucleus was combined with the inactive cell taken before. Electric wave was passed through them. The cells became active with this. The egg then accepted the nucleus of the cell. Like this, without any sexual contact a foetus got created. That foetus was placed in the uterus of a third sheep. In course of time a baby lamb was born from it which carried an exact resemblance of the first sheep. The baby sheep was named as ‘DOLLY’.
Now, it is an unanimously accepted theory that body of a creature is made by cells, and the continuity of life is based on the growth and division of cells, but for the growth of cell some factors are there. They are growth harmones, growth factors for the nervous system, ancogen factors, edible stuff present in the cell, the correlation between cell nucleus and plasma etc. According to the new research telimier is the part of chromosomes only, and keeps control over cell division. Slowly it loses its power. As we all know that every thing has a limit, a cell can only undergo division up to a certain number. In course of time the dividing power in a cell reduces. The cell which was used for production of “DOLLY” was a matured one, and had undergone several division before. The divisive power of it had been reduced considerably. That is why, the sign of early old age was seen in “Dolly”. Of course, in this aspect the scientist got some drawback, but they will overcome it very soon.
In the above aspect, the fast ageing of Dolly due to cloning method may have the reason that the cell taken from the sheep had completed most of its life span. In a body old cells die down to be replaced by new cells. The cells of mother sheep, which are made up of dormant germs, are under developing stage towards their ‘sheep form’. The meaning is, they are in a stage of few birth prior to become full seeds. Now they haven’t received the capacity of a complete seed form. These cells, after meeting death inside mother sheep for the process of next birth, enter into the male sheep through respiration to become a part of its cell. Again with developed stage they will become part of reproductive cell of the male sheep. During the copulation between the male and female sheep, they will enter the mother sheep in the form of sperms and any of them who would be received by the ovum would create a foetus.
If the scientist had to choose cells for cloning, they should choose from the area where cells are more improved from the view of further development. Like, a part of tests. It is much better if taken from the inner part. Or,the part of brain from where serum is secreted during the time of sexual intercourse. Then scientist can try cells (dormant germs) for best result in cloning because unlike tissue culture, in bio culture every atoms (cells) from a particular branch do not carry the ‘chance’ for a new life. In tissue culture every cell gets life after the process but, in a body of creature, each of all atoms does not redevelop itself, but go ahead in the direction of serial development.
In the series of development, water, air, vegetation, bacteria etc. serially got developed from the matter only. Bacteria or microbes are taken to be the member from last pedigree of the vegetation. Like protozoa, Amoeba, Metazoa, Parazoa. These are single called creatures. They are also micro sized creatures. The reproduction of bacteria occurs by the method of division only i.e. One will divide into two and so on. Bacteria or microbes are of four type
Cocas which is round in shape.
Bacillus-long rod shaped.
Spirylium-snake type
Wibro-which is of ‘coma’ shape.
In the process of converting into bacteria from the vegetation, after getting the above mentioned sizes they start getting the aggression of mind. Which ever shape comes to them first, they start taking up a physique of that shape. Slowly, they started developing different systems of the body like respiratory system, digestive system, and brain the formidable will power of a life causes these developments. They start developing different sensory organs, heart and kidney etc. first bicycle then TV, the car, then aeroplane, then jets were invented. Like that the germs (or microbes) have reached this stage (human being) by gradually developing their internal capacities. More improvement is coming up by it, both internally and externally. By the help of strong will power and with the effort generated by it, molecules with continuous improvement of themselves will attain the ‘divine power’ one day. Human race is the most improved and purified creature of today. One day, a better pedigree (generation) than this will be created. After reincarnation a human being is born as a human being only. The meanest of the human being may possibly be born as an animal in the next birth. What ever development is there till today, is the result of the efforts and collective will power of the atoms and germs of infinity members. That is why it is sad “What ever is done, is done by the Almighty because that collective will power is the ‘will’ of the Almighty only.”

Do you think there's evidence that the Jewish people have been disliked by the non-Jewish for centuries? If yes, why do you think is that? Are there any particular stereotypes that stimulate the dislike? Do you think the stereotypes are true? Why do anti-Semitism and the oppression of Jews receive so much more attention than other issues relating to discrimination and racial conflicts of equal importance?
Where did the conflict begin?

does this answer some of the questions about why there is hurt in the world if there is a god?

I am reminded of a recent trip to the dentist. While the dentist was
cleaning my teeth he said to me,

"I do not believe in God."

Now this dentist knows what I do for a living and how important my
faith is to me, yet for numerous reasons (one main one being his hands
were in my mouth) I uncharacteristically remained silent, allowing him
to explain;

"How can God exist and still allow all the suffering and pain in the
world?"

I remained quiet until he was finished (and of course put his tools
away) and told him that "I do not believe in dentists."

This confused him greatly so I clarified for him that if there are
dentists in the world, how can so many people have broken, infected
and missing teeth?

He answered me "I cannot help anyone who does not come to me to have
their teeth fixed."

That reply is the same for faith. He cannot help people until they
come to H

So, there are times that I think about and I wonder.... We as humans are GIANTS to ants and other insects and stuff- do you think that maybe there are Giants out there that can just step on us at any moment and squish us like we do to ants? I mean, the whole world could be the size of a basketball to another being for all we know. Anyone else ever think about this?

If you think in terms of yourself, great importance can be attached to life. You can live purposefully and happily.

If you think in terms of a materialistic universe, nothing matters, life is meaningless, you cannot justify purpose. This is not rocket science logic. The conclusion is inexorable, and in my opinion, is killing our civilization.

If you think in terms of a created universe, then everything matters, for a creator creates for a reason. Without thinking in terms of Christians, Jews, Mulims, or any other relgion, philosophy needs this basic principle.

I exist.
My existence is impossible without a creator.

This should not be so fraught with anxiety, but.

Am in Ottawa, speak marginal French (French immersion in school, but weak from lack of use), and like to go to Montréal for dinner or what-not now and then. Invariably:

(apropos of me peeking at the back of a restaurant last night)
'Vous cherchez les toilettes?'
(me) 'Oui, merci...'
'Ah -- upstairs and just to the right.'
(me) 'Thanks!'

The second it's evident that I'm Anglo -- the 1st or 2nd time I open my mouth, of course -- I'm always spoken to in English.

Which makes me feel like I might be bordering on rude by trying to conduct things in French at all, as though I might be harbouring nasty assumptions about Montréalais English... It definitely seems rude to persist with my awkward French when faced with perfect English, though.

Outside of Montréal, my French lasts a few more sentences, but in Montréal, even getting a 2nd sentence in in French is rare. What's the preferred behaviour for visitors?
