The 10 people contributing thier limited knowledge only makes them slighty above average as a group maybe 14% Total. They all have had simular education some more some less... ID: 443273 ·

So, tell us about these cavemen. Was one of them from E-stoney-uh, lol? (We call him "Link.") Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. ID: 443274 ·

In this respect it resembles the argument of the pseudo-scientists that alien astronauts have already visited the earth, but have recognised that our civilisation is too immature to handle contact with them, so naturally there is no conclusive evidence of such alien visitation. Such arguments place themselves outside the positivistic realm of traditional experimental verification. Nevertheless, one must agree that the soul-building theodicy seems plausible from a philosophical point of view. We desperately would like to believe it. But this desperate need to believe what seems intuitively plausible has been the root of much confusion and error throughout history. It causes people, reputable scientists and philosophers, to latch onto an apparent harmony and then to fight off the hidden harmony. What is there to be said? Logic fails to apply in this case, and the question is left forever open. uhm hmmmm . . . BOINC Wiki . . . Science Status Page . . . ID: 443431 ·

That,s the mystery and mystique of mechanics...A realm that men alone can experience and enjoy. PS If the guy from AA didn,t spend that time under the bonnet ...how would he know how to fix your car?
