    If I recall correctly researchers had found a way to extract stem cells from another human source other than embryos (or was it white mice?). I can't remember where I placed that article though. The only issue was that extraction was not as fruitful. Other than that it seemed ethically friendly on both fronts.

    I think everyone has been irritated with Sony's slow strip tease regardless of what console they have at home.

    Well not if the motion before it's executed comes as a delay where one can jump over it. Of course this is coming from the fact that I've only seen it against cpus in training mode.

    It's simply a probable outcome. There's no breakdown of how-- if there was we wouldn't be debating it. However, we do recognize some things as being"necessary" in order for there to be a universe and gravity is thought to be one of those things. But this only comes from an assertion through finite means. We can imagine a universe where gravity does not exist but we'd know nothing else else of it; we could only assert that in all infinite outcomes that it is probable for gravity to not exist in some universe, albeit very slim. Due to our finite point of view and limited understanding however we simply can't fathom such a thing, but we can acknowledge it as an outcome.

    If we can understand the possibility of our world being framed in an infinite number of ways then we can just as easily assume that the universe can do so also. The only issue is that because we have such a finite understanding of reality we simply cannot fathom what it would truly entail

    Also I wouldn't go as far as to jump to the possibility that none of this is real and that we're all a part of some elaborate thought process of a computer or someone else's imagination. We generally and inherently function under the premise that what we perceive and experience is genuine and in fact real. The onus is then placed on the skeptic to prove that our current reality and existence is not real. It may be based on assumption but it comes with justified true belief as surely as we are able to sleep at night knowing that the sun will rise in the morning.

    Unfortunately there isn't any (I'm too tired to discern troll from serious. I'm sure you understand). We've gone well passed the abilities of science and are now treading in philosophical waters. With that in mind, there is a possible world where that all works out. What's even more possible is that we exist in the one and only possible world where the laws restrict this.

    None of this can be proven. We still don't know whether the probable collapse of the universe will result from it simply stopping and breaking down or folding in on itself (which implies growth over such an unfathomable time that it seems nearly infinite). The concept is not only reality based, but temporal as well. If you could travel back in time to a point where the current reality bridged from the infinite number of possibilities you could theoretically alter the outcome. For example, what if you never made the post I am responding too? Infinite possibilities imply just that; the idea of restriction on infinity is by all logical account impossible. That being said, there is an alternate universe where you have traveled to another reality and not disrupted it just as there is one where your journey causes a disruption. Any and everything is probable, and within the basis of this idea anything and everything is possible.

    Well it isn't really even about practicing religion and science in tandem to get the best of both worlds. If anything it is simply the ideals that they stand for. Religion sells the afterlife and soul in so many ways that we can concern ourselves with more differences than similarities, but in the end what we take away from it is a form proper conduct, an example to live by on some common ground of morality and well-being in the current world. Science in many respects shares these similarities. While it does not prescribe morality and conduct of life, it is an endeavour of knowledge in and of itself. We learn about ourselves within the world, our place in it, and where we can go from there.

    Gah all this talk is tempting me to break the pact I made this semester. I may consider burning another free month card over reading week. I need those 1 month cards to come to Canada full time.
