Tuesday: There can be (and there probably are) billions of suns and planets like that in the universe. This has nothing to do with God. And by the way, if you wait long enough, you will see the Sun grow bigger and burn “us” up.

Artful Dodger: In what way? Well, the proof of existence of anything is generally easier than the proof of non-existence, don't you think so?

Jim Dandy: I agree. It has enormous advantages, and as I said, I would love to believe. From the point of view of an individual, religious beliefs are very helpful.

Asunto: Re: They can't all be the truth
Tuesday: You know, I would love to believe in God. In my opinion, believers have, in general, a better life than non-believers. But I just can't lie to myself when I know that people created their Gods for the very purpose to make their lives happier. I can't give you the proof of non-existence, obviously, but the proof of existence should be much simpler and easier to do, right? The fact that nobody has come up with such proof makes my assumptions more probable.

Tuesday: Sarah Palin report card/Sarah Palin’s high-school grades have apparently leaked onto the internet.The document claims to be Sarah Palin’s tenth grade report card and shows that the VP mostly had “B’s” and “C’s,” a “D” in foreign languages.

And the report card reads as follows:
English – B
Math – C
Foreign Language – D
Biological Sciences – B
Physical Sciences – C
Social Studies – C

You don't even read your own links…

Modificado por Pedro Martínez (8. Julio 2010, 20:46:08)
(V): My post was a response to your statement that “It makes you wonder how much our reliance on big power plants could be reduced if they [electricity generating windmills] became a standard.”

As for my figures… my source is Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power
(“A typical 1000-MWe nuclear reactor produces…”)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine
(referring to this table indicating the outputs of different wind turbines)
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power
(see the part on capacity factor)

As regards the article on the Buena Vista wind farm… yes, there are larger and more efficient wind turbines, as well as there are larger and more efficient nuclear power plants. I was comparing the average figures.

Asunto: Re:You need about 400 square miles of wind turbines to equal 1 nuclear power plant.
(V):

Output of a typical nuclear power plant: 1,000 MW per hour.
Output of an average wind turbine: 600 kW per hour.

A typical wind farm of 70 turbines and 1,500 acres produces 25 MW per hour. So you would need 60,000 acres of wind turbines to equal 1,000 MW. At the capacity factor of 25%, you will need four times as large area, i.e. 240,000 acres = 375 square miles.

No book that says that night and day and evening and morning on the Earth existed earlier than the Sun, is worth reading.

Artful Dodger: Yes, I did hear of the telephone game, but wasn't it you who insisted on people backing their posts with sources and facts? I just wanted you to do the same thing you require from others, which you often do not. How typical. There is a proverb about it in Czech, but I guess you wouldn't understand it even if I translated it for you to one of those languages you speak. How many are they? I must have forgotten…

Artful Dodger: By the way, thanks for that “research” at Geocities. Your links are awesome. First you post a quote and refer to a Wikipedia site of Guizot which does not even remotely say anything about the quote you post, and then you refer to a non-existing research. But am I surprised?

Artful Dodger: Find five differences:

A) If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain.

B) Not to be a republican at 20 is proof of want of heart; to be one at 30 is proof of want of head.

Asunto: Re:
Vikings: LOL. One of the amendments to your constitution actually provides that “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”. It does not specify what arms, so it applies to all weapons, just like the word “people” applies to all the people within the jurisdiction of the constitution. So I don't understand your comment. By the way, I'm not trying to sound intelligent here, so I don't have to ask for help with the big words.

I think people should be free to own nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction, too. There will be a few irresponsible owners, but far more will be responsible.

Czuch: I actually don't have anyone specific in mind… it just seems to me that if I take a look back at the last three elections, neither of the presidential candidates, whether Gore, Bush, Kerry, McCain or Obama, had the qualities to become a president I would respect as a competent leader of the country. If Palin gets in the White House, I will start to believe that there are some sort of three-president turns: three proficient presidents (Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton) followed by three fumbling ones (Bush Jr., Obama, Palin). And maybe it would work further into the past too…
