"In 2003, researchers at Wayne State University in Detroit again ignited the debate when they found that 99.4% of the most critical DNA sites are identical in human and chimp genes, prompting the lead researcher, Morris Goodman, to declare that chimps and humans should be brought together under the same umbrella genus, Homo."

Genetics is a funny thing...



MorningSong I respect your right to your opinions and realize you are trying to find your place on the blue marble...

Every culture believes in a power greater than themselves.

Why do you need God in your life? Needing God is not the same as not having any use for God.

While searching, I highly recommend you read Neale Donald Walsch's book called Happier Than God...

you may surprise yourself on your quest...

ahhh 2012 here we come...

my goosebumps went to geesebumps...
dayum....

and thank you for posting something worth reading and responding to now we all feel "synergized"

But we forget it's only a matter of time...

so when we think we have freedoms... they are in fact limited and watched

Well... a few thoughts (mind you working on second cup of coffee lol)

Who says they truly haven't? Pharmaceutical companies have a huge vested political interest and maybe if the countries would put those intelligent heads together rather than worrying about who could win a Nobel peace prize.

and honestly can you imagine the implications if they did find a cure?

and perhaps they are overlooking what has been there all along in nature... then again with pollution, strip mining, tropical forest burning and all that we have done to Mother Earth... maybe she gets the last laugh

But I really think it is interesting what they find in outer space and honestly if some alien race flew by for a drive by to see our human compassion and intelligence... no wonder they come and go to see if progress is being made... then again they could be waiting to see if we do ourselves in...

more coffee... lol

Aladdin

Well maybe if they started raising the cost of bullets to say... $5000 a bullet, people would think twice before firing off a round...

guns don't kill people, itchy trigger happy arse's do... simple solution... raise the cost of bullets...


Check state and local laws because many times you can be held liable and charged for wounding or killing someone who breaks in... and then they or their family can sue you or your family in civil courts for monetary relief.

Interesting article... what I found reading too was this tidbit...

A sugar molecule essential to life as we know it has been found in the far reaches of the Milky Way, scientists report. Astronomers working with the IRAM radio dish array in France report the presence of glycolaldehyde—a simple sugar found in RNA—in a region of our galaxy known to churn out stars. The molecule appears to have formed with all of the other stuff that makes up planets, suggesting that many other worlds are seeded with some of life’s ingredients right from birth [ScienceNOW Daily News].

and there's more...

Glycoladehyde is a building block of ribose, a component of RNA. Many scientists believe RNA preceded DNA in vesting the earliest forms of life with reproductive capabilities; thus the finding of glycoladehyde has particular significance for those searching for extraterrestrial life. The astronomers detected radio and microwave signatures of glycolaldehyde within the core of what appears to be a coalescing disk of dust and gas in a star-forming region called G31.41+0.31, about 26,000 light-years away. The sugar molecule can apparently form in a simple reaction between carbon monoxide molecules and dust grains [ScienceNOW Daily News]. The astronomers believe the molecules they see are a few hundred thousand years old.

oh my...

Freedom of Speech only goes so far then a nice file starts building back in DC...

we have Homeland Security to thank for that.

Jeanniebean I agree with your statement,"The freedoms we think we have are illusions." Too many people go through life with their head in the sand.

Internet censorship in countries that try to restrict human rights and so here we are hanging onto the Declaration of Independence and think the government is looking out for our best interest...

Surprised our posts and accounts haven't been sand boxed

Hang in there XxFormxX... you have cajones for a first posting of this nature

what you see here is a prime example why Just Say Hi/Mingle2 lost members...and will continue to do so

some people like to argue/discuss then rage for a debate demanding proof, sometimes life just is what it is, but welcome to the internet...

some people forget what it was like to be young, filled with ideas, opinions, dreams...

I commend you for having strong opinions and hopefully you can channel them into something positive for a life career.

Good Luck in your search in finding friends, whether for just that, friendship or more...

p.s. keep a thick skin around a few forums here and watch your back for the hall monitors who know how to pile drive the backstabbing...

Age is also a state of mind and her health may be better than someone half her age...

Nice thing about opinions...everyone has one.

Heard that filming to resume soon(marking days on calendar lol) and perhaps back on air for summer 09

Read the book, own the movie, been to some conferences and the book itself was a successful marketing campaign. The secret is based on the Laws of Attraction, which is more aligned with the Laws of the Universe, but Rhonda was able to get it the masses in a way not seen before.

There are many books on positive thinking and Ruth you are right there are people out there who are only happy when unhappy. Also known as life vampires They literally can suck your lifeforce out as they go in their cycles and don't realize they are their own enemy.

It is true, what you think about, you bring about. Good or bad.

Tony Robins is a success coach and wonderful mentor. He has used techniques from 'the secret' to get to where he is today. There are some wonderful people involved not only with the secret, but those who use the Laws in all areas of their lives.

My therapist was a huge fan of the Celestine Prophecy(books), which I did not find out until I mentioned I saw the movie and I got into the 'newageish' positive thinking modality, which for me was a good step in the right direction....

If interested, here is the secret web addy:

The mother of positive thinking would have to be Louise Hay and she has a wonderful online radio station called HayHouseRadio and many speakers are available for you free...
