Future Pros & Cons of Stem Cell Research

This is one subject that the movies can teach us about. Ethics is not as much an issue as what it could lead to in the future. My favorite quote from Jurassic Park was made by Ian Malcom (Jeff Goldblum), "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn't think about whether they should." If this research continues, I would like to see strict regulations to help avoid scary consequences seen in movies like "6th Day". The only reason I can't commit to a decision on this issue...is that it's so much easier to say "no" when I do not suffer from the (in some cases) terminal conditions that the research is supposed to alleviate.

Two Alien/Area 51 Mysteries Solved

1) Cow mutilations- Aliens kidnapping cows and returning them after experimentation? Close, but let's replace "alien" with "military". This was a procedure done to aid in reducing paratrooper fatalities. Take one cow, beat it severely. Add a team of medical personel. Test for speed and accuracy. Record results and apply to battlefield.
2) Large triangular UFO- Especially if seen near military airspace, this may be a large derigible/airship being tested. Think of a flying version of an aircraft carrier. Two good movies for reference: "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" & "Stealth".

Sept. 11th a Conspiracy? Yeah, Right...

Those of you that believe that the events on Sept. 11th were created by our own government are paranoid. Please help me to understand how you came to this conclusion. I'd very much like to know why the CIA (or other gov't agency) would stike the economy in such a way. Just don't tell me that it was to create a reason to go to Iraq. That would be as far fetched as the idea itself.

Wake Up & Smell the Maple Nut Crunch!

Ok, people...contrary to popular belief, the major news networks to not report the real truth. Yes, the reports are based on facts. However, what you hear are stories based on half-truths. Cencorship goes beyond cuss words and racial slurs. Yet, many people still base strong opinions on these highly edited broadcasts. For all of you guilty of this: it's time to re-evaluate your thinking process. All I'm requesting is that you quit your whining and screaming until you understand the issue more completely. I refuse to have my world manipulated by ignorance.

Jesus was a mortal with an understanding beyond ours.

Ok, everyone, keep your minds open for this one. What if Jesus was just like any of us, but just had a much better understanding of the world around him. The points I use to explain this are as follows:
1) Most humans only use somewhere around 10% of our brain-what would humans be capable of if it were 50% or 100%?
2)If you watch History, Discovery, or TLC channels long enough, you find out about the people in other cultures/countries that do amazing stuff after meditating. (I think we're all capable of these things)
3)ESP and some other psychic type phenomena have been proven-for one, some police use them; for two,Russia and the US were experimenting with such powers with amazing results. AND
4)In the bible Jesus says that what he can do, so can we. (Actual verse will be posted ASAP-will retract this statement if said verse is nonexistent)

It's not Armegeddon, it's just the world changing.

I know that many people out there believe that the end of the world is coming in the next decade. They think this because of things like: Sept. 11th, the tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, the tornadoes this year, etc, etc. I don't think this. The world is changing...the Earth is shifting and people are evolving. I believe that it will be a good change. More people are believing in things that one day would have gotten them hung (for practicing witchcraft) or landed them in the looney bin. Science, religion, and paranormal activity are blending together in a way...helping us expand our minds and our imaginations.

Do you believe?

Researchers seem to use many electronic devices to detect paranormal activity. There are thermal cameras, EMF readings, EVPs, and some use Geiger counters. Some believe that the readings are evidence of the activity. The activity we perceive as apparitions, noises, and things moving around. However, there have been others that go into a house to find out why a family is "hallucinating", then found certain readings, and concluded that the family was seeing ghosts due to the abnormal Electromagnetic fields in the house. So, what do you believe? Are the readings proof of the paranormal...Or does the abnormal fields cause us to see and hear things?

Suggested Readings

Some good books to read that deal with the subject matter on my blog include the following: Brian Greene (The Elegant Universe, & The Fabric of the Cosmos); Stephen Hawking (The Universe in a Nutshell); Michio Kaku (Hyperspace); Linda Goodman (Sun Signs, & Love Signs); and any of Douglas Adams' work. As far as paranormal activity, I would recommend the show (on Sci-Fi channel) "Ghost Hunters". The crew from T.A.P.S. does a good job of investigating hauntings from an accurate point of view. They try to debunk anything they can, and aren't satisfied calling it "haunted" unless they find something concrete to work with. Please feel free to post if you have some interesting ideas, and please keep an open mind. My posts will be based on ideas, theories, and "what if's".
