I hold out hope for our scientists and engineers that they will continue to pull rabbits out of their hats and save us from our own repeated stupidity.Ken Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425810816600512504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-81344980560504766832010-04-22T16:46:04.615-04:002010-04-22T16:46:04.615-04:00I think a lot of people are afraid of new things b...I think a lot of people are afraid of new things because it challenges their belief system. The example that springs immediately to mind is that I believe they will eventually find a gene that codes for homosexuality. (I don't think it's entirely nature, and there may be some nurture in there, too, but I do think there is a genetic predisposition.) If that happens, it will tell all those that hate gays that they've been wrong, deluded, and duped for years. That can really mess with a person.<br /><br />Love, BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149068921334726430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-44631690698470749642010-04-22T16:17:27.474-04:002010-04-22T16:17:27.474-04:00happy earth dayhappy earth daysalemslot9https://www.blogger.com/profile/07661640429528005183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-83072303805571088642010-04-22T15:42:37.175-04:002010-04-22T15:42:37.175-04:00The creator is probably looking on the bright side...The creator is probably looking on the bright side; the expansion of the universe is accelerating faster than our ability to understand it.<br />So we will have an ever-decreasing chance of wrecking his construction.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684015407540676758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-23413527873552070352010-04-22T07:57:07.700-04:002010-04-22T07:57:07.700-04:00One little aside, though: Since we know the Unive...One little aside, though: Since we know the Universe is expanding, it must've all been in ONE PLACE at one time, yes?? I admire your knowledge of this star and it's progeny, our galaxy, and in particular on our 40th Earth Day, I wish you joy on this our only home.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788060917420508410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-86076717411475107722010-04-22T00:42:30.815-04:002010-04-22T00:42:30.815-04:00I think what if we discovered we were the center o...I think what if we discovered we were the center of the universe instead of an insignificant part of it? I think that would be more frightening. Limitation is the most frightening thing I can think of, so then I think how consciousness is so strange, at least we are conscious. Looking out into the endless vastness of space is somehow reassuring, diminishing all suffering just a little bit, so I think what is my relationship to the vastness but depression means pain until it heals day by day and to be conscious becomes less of a burden and one is back to being interested again!Gerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771917880182186281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-89319975707530132752010-04-22T00:26:07.995-04:002010-04-22T00:26:07.995-04:00I have been lingering for a longer while today bec...I have been lingering for a longer while today because i have been missing out many visits due to my new work. <br /><br />I felt sad reading your earlier post .. on the life you wished you had. It is honest, sincere and right out from your heart. Like E Toole would have said, we should try to live life in the moment, and that moment is now. Whatever it is.. grab any moment that makes you smile or your heart sweet.. for that is life.<br /><br />Sending you lots of warm thoughts and prayers of healing and peace..<br /><br /><br />~SilverSilverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15559987944096301573noreply@blogger.com
