Two Weeks of Protest in Iran, Where is "Free Palestine?"

[JohnDB]

Only one of the usual suspects would complain about something that lowers oil prices.

I will, (but just a tiny bit)
Because the price of oil is low....
It makes certain deposits not viable to drill and develop...meaning that the price of oil is limited to current wells.

Like Venezuelan oil currently is not viable to refine or upgrade. It's practically worthless costing more to pump, refine, and ship than it's worth. Oil companies Trump is strong arming are balking...but if they ignore the opportunity someone else will get it.
So it ties up a huge chunk of their investment money for a while there until petroleum comes up in price. (I'm not going to feel bad for them....I'm all about free market and smaller companies getting the drop on larger ones.

But it also makes the drilling and exploitation of petroleum more difficult for smaller roughnecks to make a stake. Not a lot of cheap to discover and exploit deposits left out there. Most of your wells on land pump out maybe 5 barrels a week. Others do maybe a barrel a week and get a route truck to pump out a holding tank. Those wells might get ignored for a while till the price comes up.

This guy has legit information.
Shit's going down soon...

According to current scientific theory, the laws of physics just “are”. Basically, the universe is unintelligible at its base.

If physics was able to resolve this, virtually everything we know in science would shift, including the very evolutionary theory to which you subscribe. Evolution assumes that something never comes from nothing. If nothing means nothing, the very laws that evolution relies on fall apart, including physics, thermodynamics, the concept of time, energy and scientifically laws.

Guy you are conflating the theory of evolution with the theory of the origin of the universe. They are two different things.

The reality is, we know that we don't know enough about physics yet. They now beleive that Dark Matter makes up the majority of the universe, but we can't fully explain it- yet.

What you don’t seem to understand is that all of science is premised on the idea that something must exist and we build from there. Essentially, every ultimate explanation to the origins of the universe must be non-scientific.

No, just not fully understood. The problem with the Bible Thumpers is that they think the whole universe came into being 6000 years ago. We now know that simply isn't true. If it were, we'd only be able to see the parts of the universe within 6000 Light years. The light from the Rest of the universe wouldn't have reached us yet. (

(By way of comparison, the Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 light-years across, and the closest galaxy is 2 million light-years away.)

don’t dispute many scientific principles. For example, I don’t dispute gravity or why entropy increases, but science doesn’t explain why or how either exist, and it can’t and never will.

Science can't explain it- yet.

Eventually it will.

But "God" will always be unprovable.

Guy you are conflating the theory of evolution with the theory of the origin of the universe. They are two different things.

They are different things but they are intertwined. If something comes from nothing, evolutionary theory dramatically changes.

No, just not fully understood.

Right, but it is inexplicable at its base.

The problem with the Bible Thumpers is that they think the whole universe came into being 6000 years ago.

No, few believe that. Each day in Genesis represents an extended period of time(epoch), even millions or billions of years. How would you measure a “day” before the sun even existed?

Science can't explain it- yet.

Eventually it will.

No, it won’t and that is on purpose.

But "God" will always be unprovable.

That is why we have a thing called faith. You have faith that science will eventually figure it all out, but that is not a fact, just an unprovable supposition.

 

[JoeB131]

Um, not really. Evolution is a specific theory of how life adapts and changes over time to live in certain environments, through natural selection and adaptive radiation.

It has little to do with how matter and energy may have come into existence.

We do know now that energy and matter are interrelated. Something ancient people did not know.

No, few believe that. Each day in Genesis represents an extended period of time(epoch), even millions or billions of years. How would you measure a “day” before the sun even existed?

That's a good question. Here's a better one. How could plants exist before the Sun did? (Because he created Plants on the third day and the sun on the fourth.) if you are counting "Days" as Billions of years, the plants would have died off before there was a sun.

Of course, we now know the sun existed long before the Earth did. So that kind of blows that theory right out of the water.

No, it won’t and that is on purpose.

Yes, it will, while religion continues to be debunked as fairy stories.

That is why we have a thing called faith. You have faith that science will eventually figure it all out, but that is not a fact, just an unprovable supposition.

Here's the thing, guy: at one point in history, far more people worshipped Zeus than worshipped Yahweh. Did that make Zeus the supreme being? Or was Zeus a figment of people's imagination? If we can all agree that Zeus was imaginary, where's your proof that Yahweh/Jehovah isn't imaginary?

We now know that the human race didn't descend from two people. We know that there was not a world-wide flood. We know the Hebrews never resided in Egypt. Oh, and we know that snakes and donkeys don't talk like the Bible says they did on occassion.

CIA and/or Mossad.

Maybe some of our site Mossad members could confirm or deny.

There are many more. Please accept my apologies for not listing you.

Its an allegory. The light that was created was enlightenment not sunlight. The inherent human need for meaning. None of its literal

Actually, science states that light existed long before the first star ignited.

No it doesnt cite the research.

 

[hadit]

No it doesnt cite the research.

It still exists, it's called the cosmic background radiation. It's not in the visible spectrum anymore, but it's still there.

Its not light and in Genesis its an allegory and means enlightenment

How many babies have you shot in the head?

 

[Lisa558]

I was the kicker. They said I was too small to be put on the field with the fellas.

 

[Hafar1014]

How many babies have you shot in the head?

How many Jewish women have you raped

 

[Lisa558]

How many babies have you shot in the head?

You’d need to ask one of your fellow Islamists that. And while you’re at it, ask how many babies, and adults for that matter, they’ve decapitated.

Islamic State: Egyptian Christians held in Libya 'killed'

A video emerges purportedly showing the beheadings of 21 Egyptian Christians who had been seized by Islamic State in Libya.

That's kinda racist....

Why is it?

I have Iranian friends in Europe who refer to Arab Muslims as “foreigners”.

First the first time in 47 years, Iran is on the verge of toppling an oppressive regime that has crippled people's civil liberties and economy. Despite what may be a historic event of liberation, there has not been a peep from the "Free Palestine" crowd. There have no protests in support on the streets. Nobody blocking the streets waving Iranian flags. Nobody organizing sit-ins and demonstrations on university campuses, nothing from Greta.

The answer to this is, of course, obvious. The Free Palestine movement was never about Palestinians. It was never about liberation or freedom. It was always about hating the Jews.

What the hell?

The protests had to do with opposition to US policy in support of Israel's occupation of Palestine and brutal killings there.

What is it you think the protests COULD BE about here? What is there to protest? Trump not-just-yet bombing ayatollahs?

May I respectfully ask you a sincere question?

Are you just NOW realizing that the Free Palestine movement was not about freedom or liberation, but always about hating Jews? Or did you realize it previously and the double standards applied to the horrific mass murders of innocent Iranians by Islamist terrorists merely confirm what you ALREADY know?

I am just curious.
