Thing is - you can't have it both ways. If, as you say, most forecast's can't even tell us what is going to happen tomorrow, then why is this one forecast any more accurate?

"We estimate that within about 40 years or so there is a 10% to 20% - nearer 20% - probability that we'll be back in Maunder Minimum conditions." Or to put it another way... "We estimate that within about 40 years or so there is a 80% to 90% - nearer 80% - probability that we won't be back in Maunder Minimum conditions."

Rookie mistake - If God didn't know enough to give the right advice in the first place then he's not omniscient. If he can't change his mind then he's not omnipotent. Either way, he's not God.

So, are you saying that God is not a fairy tale?

Milk - one of the greatest marketing ploys ever: - drink cow's milk for the calcium - cow's milk makes the human body more acid, and this leeches calcium from bones - drink cow's milk for the calcium

Is that not the defence put forward by every rapist?

Genesis 19:8 - "Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don't do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof"

Query - why was it evil to gang rape men but not women?

Have to admit - your god seems an evil sob

These people believe in the Bible. The Bible teaches that women are subservient to men. So, unfortunately, these people believe that they are being logical.

Like Judges 21, for example?

Sorry, but any anyone who thinks that the Bible says that women are equal to men simply has not read it. e.g. "Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence" (1 Timothy 2).

So, what we're saying is that it's more important to have cheap burgers than it is to pay someone a living wage.

Jesus finds a small crowd who has surrounded a young woman they believed to be a prostitute. They are preparing to stone her to death. To diffuse the situation, Jesus says: “Whoever is without sin among you, let them cast the first stone.” Suddenly, an old lady at the back of the crowd picks up a rock and scores a direct…

It may piss you off, but it doesn't change the facts. I'f you look around this site you'll soon find people who say that they've lost weight because they prayed. If you look around the internet you'll find people who say that they won the lottery because they prayed. Others have recovered from terminal, incurable diseases.…

I agree - I would have reported it when he first admitted to it, although I might have given him the option to report it himself

We're back in the same old loop again: - How do we know that God exists? Because it says so in the Bible. - How do we know that we can believe the Bible? Because it's God's word. - How do we know that God exists?...

Thanks for the link - at least I get an error now - when I click on the downloaded apk I get a message "Parse Error: There was a problem parsing the package".

Problem with most running shoes is that they encourage bad posture and poor running techniques and so increase the strain on the angle, knee and hip joints. It may be worth considering shoes such as the Vivobarefoot

I've only just tried to download the app yesterday (the introductory emails went straight into spam for some reason). However the app won't install. The download symbol shows for a few seconds and then stops. There is no error message The phone is a ZTE Racer Firmware 2.1.-update1 Kernel 2.6.29 Build number ZTE-RACER V2.1

Thanks alot for that.

So, are you saying that because more people are killed by guns then those killed be distracted drivers should be ignored? Or is there some kind of limit to the numbers we should care about? You'd rather live in a country where one person's right to drive dangerously outweighs another person's right to life?

The best advice is get into your local bike shop and have a word with the staff. They'll help you select the best fit. You'll also be able to sit on the bike and have a test ride. Personally I'm doubtful about hybrids. A mountain bike is designed for mountains. A road bike (my preference) is designed for roads. A hybrid is…

Well, it seems I must defer to much better drivers than myself. After 30 years of driving I find that anything that distracts me from the driving makes my driving worse. Even having a chat show on can affect the driving. I, therefore, must be one of those drivers that fits into the CDC statistics. It's nice to meet drivers…

And not the remastered versions (with the sulky brat instead of Sebastian Shaw at the end of VI)

Every day there are 9 people killed in the USA by distracted drivers. Are you saying that's acceptable?

Sorry, but if you're doing anything else then you're not concentrating on driving. If you're not concentrating on driving then you shouldn't be on the road.
