Theology
I've never thought of theology as a science. Any varying opinions out there? If so, why?

I think he's just trying to turn this into ANOTHER religious thread.

dissection
I remember my first dissection. It was in 7th grade and my teacher's name was Mrs. Jenkins. She was a tiny old lady with a loud voice. When we cut up our frogs my lab partner Georgette offered me a pair of gloves.....i accepted though I didn't think it was neccessary. Frogs and worms are okay but what about cadavers? Yikes...I don't think I could do that. I just wasn't made for any area of the medical field.

It's pretty gross. I had to do it for anatomy, and sometimes would forget my gloves. You'd be having a pint and some stovies at lunchtime and realise you had a chunk of cadaver stuck under your fingernail.

Goodness me, by no means, Lizra! I'm sorry that you feel that way about me, and very sorry that I inadvertently caused it. I merely intended to make a little joke; of course, theology isn't by any means a science. On the one hand, it's just a bunch of superstitious morons playing make believe; and on the other, it is the study of the supernatural, while science is the study of the natural.
I'm very sorry; obviously my joke was in v. bad taste, and I do hope you can forgive me, Liz. Yeah, dissection is certainly interesting; no doubt about that. I remember when I dissected a sheep's brain; fun! Though I doubt it would have been if I'd found a chunk in my fingernails at mealtime...

Theology is a science like xenobiology is - it's an organized inquiry into the nature of something which may or may not exist.
(Wait for the winky!) There it is.

What's the science of smileys? smilology? I'll stick with my astronomy and chemistry if it's all the same. i wonder what happens when you mix them? astrochemistry? cosmochemistry? I wonder what salary i could get for that?

When you put smileys together they fight, and the dominate one moves on, while the non-dominate one turns into a frowny or a confusey.
I am trying to study geology and physics. Its not easy, since I am not really in a great "learning environment", but I do what I can. I have always loved science, espically when someone comes up with something really weird and calls it theory (I dont know how to spell theory for Christs sake! Need to go to college asap)

Theories are great. With enough research anything can be proven as a viable theory.

It is if I were really there, but the in the desert with guns is not (unless I wanted to study the desert, but I think that I have that figured out pretty well, it sucks and its hot )

Geology and other fun stuff
Hey Beor,
Why are you studying geology? Do you find physics challenging? What is your grade level and age? What sort of environment are you in? Just a curious girl....

Has anyone followed the series "Walking with Seamonsters" on BBC? It's a great show, and IMO a great way to bring paleontology out of a museum and a little closer to the public.

Hey Beor,
Why are you studying geology? Do you find physics challenging? What is your grade level and age? What sort of environment are you in? Just a curious girl.... Quoted from ayarella (I still dont really know how to use the quote button ) Anyway, I study geology because I found a geology book here in Iraq and it turned out to be pretty intersting. Physics is quite challengeing, but I think that is part of the appeal, at least for me. I am in Iraq (it's raining today! ) Last thing I graduated was high school, about four years ago (class of 1999), since then I have been in the Army. I am 22. I study this stuff because I felt a gradual dumbing down after about two years in without really learning anything. Gotta keep the ol' brain active to keep it sharp, I guess. Hope all that helps!

Hi, all you scientistst in the world!
I have one question which nobody I asked until now could answer. Where does the power of magnetism come from? How can this piece of iron stick to my refrigerator years and years without falling down? Against gravity? Where does the energy come from? |
