“The vast majority of artist’s conceptions are based more on imagination than on evidence..Artists must create something between an ape and a human being; the older the specimen is said to be, the more ape-like they make it.”
-Science Digest, April 1981 pg 41.

****”The penalty for violating Shabbos is death.”
Not anymore.*****
the penalty for violating Shabbos is death. TODAY, right now, the penalty is DEATH. certain conditions are necessary for carrying out the sentence, (b’mazid, witnesses, warning, Sanhedrin, etc) but the penalty hasnt and never will change

“What is at stake is not the validity of the Darwinian theory itself, but of the approach to science that it has come to represent. The peculiar form of consensus the theory wields has produced a premature closure of inquiry in several branches of biology, and even if this is to be expected in `normal science,’ such a dogmatic approach does not appear healthy.”
R. Brady, “Dogma and Doubt,” Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 17:79, 96 (1982)

of course why should we believe Global Warming to be a hoax or wildly exaggerated. when something is accepted by the scientific and legislative authorities in general it must be true.
remember the “population explosion”
“The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s, the world will undergo widespread famines. Hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. Population control is the only answer”
— Paul Ehrlich – The Population Bomb (1968)

couldnt be easier
make scrambled eggs and season however you normally do
but add a little garlic powder to the eggs before cooking
eat.
very very easy
very very good
since youll be using chicken left over from Shabbos, no seasoning is necessary.
fry some onions until a little brown (suggest using a small amount of canola oil)
add small pieces of leftover chicken
fry for a few more minutes, stirring a few times to get the onion flavor into the chicken.
eat.
if you want to be a little more fancy
add some cut up scallions (green onions) near the end, so they dont cook too long, for a little extra taste and color.
eat.

“Geology assuredly does not reveal any finely graduated organic change, and this is the most obvious and serious objection that can be urged against the theory”.
–CHARLES DARWIN–
“A large number of well trained scientists outside of evolutionary biology and paleontology have unfortunately gotten the idea that the fossil record is far more Darwinian than it is. This probably comes from the oversimplification inevitable in secondary sources: low level textbooks, semi-popular articles, and so on. Also, there is probably some wishful thinking involved. In the years after Darwin , his advocates hoped to find predictable progressions. These have not been found yet the optimism has died hard, and pure fantasy has crept into textbooks…”.
Evolutionist David Raup, Curator of Geology at Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History, New Scientist, Vol. 90. p. 832.
–CHARLES DARWIN–
“Darwinism was an interesting idea in the 19th century, when handwaving explanations gave a plausible, if not properly scientific, framework into which we could fit biological facts. However, what we have learned since the days of Darwin throws doubt on natural selection’s ability to create complex biological systems – and we still have little more than handwaving as an argument in its favour.”
Professor Colin Reeves
Dept of Mathematical Sciences

“More scientists than ever before are now standing up and saying that it is time to rethink the theory of evolution in light of new scientific evidence that shows the theory is inadequate, Darwinists are busy making up holidays to turn Charles Darwin into a saint, even as the evidence supporting his theory crumbles and more and more scientific challenges to it emerge.”

“i dont think anybody is really intrested(sic) in this thread turning into a evolution debate.”
correct, this is a thread for interesting quotes, not debates.
certainly not a debate about the value of specific quotes.
do you have a quote you would like to share?
OK
“We share half our genes with a banana. Is this evidence for a common origin?”
(New Scientist, 1 July 2000, pp4-5)
“If living matter is not, then, caused by the interplay of atoms, natural forces, and radiation, how has it come into being? . . I think, however, that we must go further than this and admit that the only acceptable explanation is Creation. I know that this is anathema to physicists, AS INDEED IT IS TO ME [emphasis by feivel], but we must not reject a theory that we do not like if the experimental evidence supports it.” H.S. Lipson, “A Physicist Looks at Evolution,” Physics Bulletin, Vol. 31, p. 138 (1980).
“The sciences dealing with the past, stand before the bar of common sense on a different footing. Therefore, a grotesque account of a period some thousands of years ago is taken seriously though it be built by piling special assumptions on special assumptions, ad hoc hypothesis on ad hoc hypothesis, and tearing apart the fabric of science whenever it appears convenient. The result is a fantasia which is neither history nor science.”
(James Conant, Chemist and former president, Harvard University.]
“To postulate that the development and survival of the fittest is entirely a consequence of chance mutations seems to me a hypothesis based on no evidence and irreconcilable with the facts. These classical evolutionary theories are a gross over-simplification of an immensely complex and intricate mass of facts, and it amazes me that they are swallowed so uncritically and so readily, by so many scientists without a murmur of protest”.
-Sir Ernest Chain, co-holder of 1945 Nobel prize for developing penicillin-
“The irony is devastating. The main purpose of Darwinism was to drive every last trace of an incredible God from biology. But the theory replaces God with an even more incredible deity – omnipotent chance.” T. Rosazak, “Unfinished Animal”, 1975, p. 101-102.
i guess it wont always work
for people i know well i explain the real reason
for those i meet randomly it works well

“They don’t create an inclination to violence. They may bring out violent tendencies that already existed”
all human beings have violent tendencies within them,
even the extremely pleasant, polite, and kind germans
“They may bring out violent tendencies”
this is not a good thing.

so youre waiting for people to post that it is not proper or assur, then you will respond with a list of quotes, maasehs, and mekoros to refute them?
yankel hardboiled his egg, not fried.
water boils at a lower temperature at high elevations
he probably moved to denver, there is a big Jewish community there
the egg will take longer to cook there because the boiling water is cooler than he was used to
his last words were: “YES, YOU LOOK FAT IN THAT DRESS!”
the famous “monty hall dilemma”
always switch!
this seems to many to be incorrect
but
your odds when you chose were 1 in 3 that it was behind the curtain you chose
and 2 in 3 that it was behind one of the other two
revealing the empty curtain does not change the odds
always switch.
“ORDERED them to each stand on one half of the paper”
precludes them being two bugs or snails or the like
Eisav and Yishmael are fighting. The UN decided to stop the fighting (for a change) and took a piece of paper, drew a line down the middle and ordered them to each stand on one half of the paper. Though they were both on the same piece of paper, and within 11 inches of each other, neither one was able to hit or even touch the other. How is that possible?
they were in separate rooms
the paper was placed under the door and the door closed

you are right
but to explain (from a previous post on this thread)
when i wrote “i am a liar”
i meant it in the sense of a liar who lives in Riddle World
as you know from other riddles here, those type of liars always lie and cannot tell the truth
therefore if his statement is true, then he is a liar and his statement is false
if his statement is false, then he is not a liar and his statement is true
a paradox whereby the truth of his statement is immpossible to be determined.
this is not the case with “my father is daniel” where it is possible to determine its truth value
a better way of making such a statement, where we dont have to follow riddle world rules would be “the statement that i am currently making is a lie”
“However, Pashuteh Yid’s question refers to Hagbah and Glilah, when the Torah is already wrapped up and a person catching it would touch only the velvet covering and not the actual parchment.”
the Sefer Torah is not wrapped up during Habboh and Glilah. it is exposed, that was his question.
it is not wrapped up until after Hagboh and Glilah are completed.
i see your point
but
when i wrote “i am a liar”
i meant it in the sense of a liar who lives in Riddle World
as you know from other riddles here, those type of liars always lie and cannot tell the truth
therefore if his statement is true, then he is a liar and his statement is false
if his statement is false, then he is not a liar and his statement is true

a better way of making such a statement, where we dont have to follow riddle world rules would be “the statement that i am currently making is a lie”
do you understand why that statement cannot possibly determined to be either a truth or a falsehood, why it must be neither?
Rabbi Avigdor Miller said he did the right thing. nevertheless there was a very small lack in his Emuna, and for a man of his greatness, there needed to be punishment. he also states that his death was a KiddushHashem for it demonstrated the great sanctity of the Aron, and he was certainly rewarded for this in OlamHaBah.
if you find some contradictions in the above, it is not a quote but only my memory of what R’ Miller said, and please attribute any innacuracies to my faulty memory
fem
riddle b explained
it doubles every day
say on the last day (30) there were 500
then on day 29 there were 250, since it doubles every day
250 is half of 500
what’s wrong with “i am a liar”
it is a clear statement which should have definitive truth or falsehood determinants, nevertheless it is a paradox and it’s truth value cannot possibly be determined. isnt that exactly the criteria you set up?
can you explain it’s deficiency?
thank you

i have been following research on the higgs boson since i read a book called “the G-d particle” by leon lederman
if you misspoke by stating that scientists are trying to replicate the big bang, dont start belittling me. if you dont want to be corrected when you make a mistake, just say so, i wont bother.
icot
just checking
do one more step
if he takes an apple out, what is in the box marked apples?
icot
youre right
for some reason i thought that truths and liars alternated days
i think theres another riddle like that
“is currently trying to replicate the Big Bang”
i sure hope not!
what they are trying to do however is look into conditions that probably existed very shortly AFTER the big bang.
also to find the Higgs Boson, an extremely important particle (and field) which is believed to exist but has never been “seen” it is also referred to as the “G-d particle” as it is presumed to give substance to all other existing particles.
