Looking For A Resorable 1967 Chevelle

Richard Dawkins - Unweaving the rainbow

Do you remember the scene from 'Pharaoh' where cynical, yet stupid priests regain power over a terrified crowd eclipse of the sun? Topics book in a nutshell: the wonders of skepticism versus-niewidy - a rational approach to the phenomena of the natural world without resorting to the supernatural. The author, as is its wont, deals with paranormal rather unceremoniously, sometimes sarcastic and combative, as its image probably more detrimental than good, but the issues which take is hard to disagree. The conclusion is simple and is expressed in a simple folk wisdom: no miracles. Whoever disagrees, let him sooner then runs and wins the round Randy banke green. It would be nice if I had advice for those from the heart got 1% for themselves. Snag is that, as Randi does not believe the word, but what does it Zbyszko Nowak twenty-first century.

Richard Dawkins - God Delusion

The author is an atheist and clearly teaches his views on religion and the concept of being the highest. As an evolutionary biologist can not agree with the concept, which holds that simplicity comes from the complexity, so, logically point of view, it is difficult to argue. In an interesting way explains how "the genes for susceptibility to faith 'can contribute to success in an evolutionary sense, that is survival. Take discussions with a variety of 'evidence' on Existences god. Shows the formula according to which religion can be formed, including an interesting example of cargo cult. Tries to present the problem of the existence of god as nieustnienie or scientific issue and apply the solution to the scientific methodologies.

Dawkins is a fierce enemy of fundamentalism, openly acknowledges it to be DANGEROUS, examples seen in everyday life: New York, Madrid, London, Mumbai, the rebirth of a Christian fundamentalism in the U.S. clinics arson, kidnapping and murder of gynecologists, odmowlili who do not have an abortion, etc. As a curiosity

write that bought the boards of London buses with the inscription: 'In all probability, there is no god. Stop worrying and love life. " Password seems to me to clash, unfortunately, is based on an incorrect fact, I think, the assumption that people believing they can not make the belief to enjoy life. Personally, it seems to me that just enjoy life because , that I believe that this god May (ignoring issues of whether such a belief is justified or not). In total, that was zajebiscie live forever under the guardianship and that a good ghost-watchman. The author, however, like the password and says the campaign will force people to think and thinking is the greatest enemy of religion. Saying 'curiosity is the first step to hell,' not after all, could provide the impetus unbeliever in mind, because it does not recognize the institution of hell in the first place. Crop curiosity, however, treat as a primary engine of progress.

Tying religion with morality is another misunderstanding. Those believers who claim that without religion the world pograzylby into anarchy and debauchery can issue only a witness and give proof that you are decent people just out of fear.

message of the book is this: religion sprouted like weeds, is not present in the civilized world, the place, and an atheist can be happy and morally healthy. Personally, I like to think of myself that I am a man free and happy, my life is mine and those with whom I myself want to share them.

Let me for a little off: unfortunately spoils the translation of the Polish edition. And so much bother. Bad August reading, the footnotes are too frequent interpreter, and sometimes pointless. eg (from memory) interpreter adds when the author writes about the issue X -''if you do not know anything about the issue of x, it is advisable not to bother, there are many interesting things worth knowing about.'' Well, surely a parody, what this note at all, sir Szwajcer. A footnote in the introduction on the occasion of translating the term "Atheist pride" damage even speak. And moreover, what was: Szwajcer adds in a footnote (again quoted from memory):''Dawkins certainly refer to the Gay Pride movement, thanks to which we all knowledge in the world (at least in civilized countries), with none homosexuality is not a disease.''It's a thick over-interpretation, Mr. Szwajcer, if not ignorant manipulation, regardless of hire from the fact that the thought of knowledge expressed in a footnote is appropriate.

fact is that Szwajcer curiously got out of some difficult corners in the translation, but translation is generally weak, and those who are in the know admit me right. Expressing

in the footnotes of their own is unacceptable, Mr. Szwajcer. NIEDOPUSZALNE, and you do it often.

addition laughed when Szwajcer occasion for some more difficult (for you) when in a footnote explains the difficulty in the translation, or even untranslatability Dawkins. No laughter in the courtroom simply. Why do not you even see the translation of 'selfish gene' Mark Skonecznego, technical books, and undoubtedly more difficult in the translation. And for fiction, poetry, etc is it you can not at all take it, since I gave you cope with a simple text properly. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but I like nice language and all. I wanted to have versions in Polish, in order to read it and my wife, but in retrospect I see that it was wasted 50zl, you had to buy the original.

Ehy Does My Desume Emulator Lag

Richard Dawkins - The Selfish Gene

Consequence of interest was the return to Darwin, Dawkins and his selfish gene theory. An interesting look for living organisms, as a product of fighting for the survival of replicators, which are basic units selection. Because evolution does not work for the good of species, populations or individuals; idea of \u200b\u200bgroup selection, quality, etc. are wrong, in principle, evolution does not work for anyone's good, and is the result of varying survival replicating Bytów - replicators already. The reasoning being able to spend a revolutionary initial exposure when it comes to look at life generally understood, but it must be remembered that the revolutionary and innovative that it can actually was, but in 1976, when the book was published - for contemporary biology is the belief in force, the Unless something has appeared even deeper, what would I not a total surprise, progress sir. The book is also a broader view of evolution by natural selection, a process that does not is limited to the living world, but every aspect of the existence of the universe (cosmic Darwinism.)

compelling and unfolding of the imagination in favor of Darwin's thought that evolution by selection process is not accidental, but correctly,. A species of life and the emergence of a natural process, not a miracle.

Paris Kennedy Tells You How To

Fachoffcy

As it happened, exchanged in a cottage with washing machine and electric cooker oven. Nothing easier, choice, Payment, and the promise of the davidphillips.co.uk that everything will be delivered and installed the next day. About naivety ...

Approach 1: immigrated two specialists, import cooker and washing machine. Washing zaintalowac you can not - too short drain hose, generally a short conversation, someone will come tomorrow and do it. In the microwave after you connect two burners operate four (ie the plates, because the electric). Specialists do not know why, but say that the remaining two can start to operate later heheheh. They say that in this case may ascribe the cooker back tomorrow, new imports, and for now, let it connects back to the old one. Nieststy not give advice, because the specialists were trained in connecting only those stoves that we sell. Known are the three cables, but the safety and chujemuje and connects, because they can not and end. Someone is coming tomorrow.

Approach 2: Przyjeazdza another couple, imported oven and says that zabiara old washing machine. I said, the old is still connected and the vases or May, in order to connect old. They do not have. Also the new cookers do not have no stock. Someone will come tomorrow.

Approach 3, short: - come again another couple after the old washing machine, left with nothing previously obiecawaszy visit the next day, the norm. New you can not connect, because the old is in the building and furniture need to undress in the kitchen, I had already basically soup with each subsequent visit and wished that I do not have a hidden camera, in order to shoot them with the guerrilla. On bezczela not want them to shove the camera under the nose.

Approach 4 - again, another pair of specialists. Patra - Poles, Greg and Jasiek, I think to myself: we'll see how much worth is a good opinion. The guys came course after an old washing machine. Surprised that the new is not plugged in, took and plugged, none longer hose was not needed. In fact, the operation required a bit of gymnastics, but it was known from the beginning, he will be okay. Pleasantly surprised, bravo guys. There was a new oven.

Approach 5 - new cooker, two new experts - Romanians. I think good, to compare with ours. They say that this does not work the first manufacturers, because there some sort of badge fell into the inside, as it happens. Join. After the annexation of crashes traffic jams. Attach a second time, they say that it may be hard, because the cable is not as it should. I ask if the installation of a microwave fachmani should not have such rzczcy in the car. They should, but only as knowledge, the cable will be needed. This time they did not know. Second connection - fachman be electrocuted, think hard, because on the staggered to his feet, barely refrained laughter. He says that he go around the head and attach more will not, someone will come tomorrow with the cable.

Approach 6 - Two new professionals, brings a new cooker. Speaking at once, lest they get lost badges, because they will operate only two burners. I put this stove top, microwave slipping, I catch a Chac przyciskaja the oven, the glass in drebiezgi ... I wanted to laugh, but with a bored expression on his face changed me in a very curious what their theses wprawilo in amazement. I thought that I was a dope and patient. I felt like in a hidden camera. One of specialists was a Pole named Irek, so she joined me hope. After an unfortunate, beginning, in spite of advice to a colleague forgive (because tomorrow someone else will come and do) not give up, despite the lack of cooker plugged another cable, and stated that Romanians should they give advice, because I work at the company for 15 years and the job was not at all difficult. His colleague on the roots of African said that the new oven can even come dziasiaj what Irek skwitowal council in Polish, so I did not count on it.

Approach 7a - came by two of specialists, have a new oven, but also a new cooker and washing machine, do not know what's going on. Zdebialem also, speech, lest plugged the oven until the rest gave it up. Oven turns out to be different than ordered, leave.

Approach 7b - coming back after a quarter, say that those ovens, which destroyed already has in stock (at 99% lime), and that they have this, or we will have to wait. He says this is what wsawili May - after the first cash register is not mine, so basically I dig, on the other hand I see light at the longer end of the tunnel and visits of specialists, and thirdly, the oven is from Wronki, so the chance will support the native industry. Attach. WORK taddddaaaaaaammm

From first to last visit, had passed about 3 weeks. Expertise on installation specialists knocked me to my knees.

duck roasted in the oven with Wronek zajebiaszcza was so it was worth it to go through that. Just do not know if this merits the oven, and how much Moniczki. Washing machine is awesome 15-minute programs, wait a minute, and washed out - I do not know whether this standard today, because not interested in washing machines.

Tech Deck Dude At Target

Charles Darwin - The Origin gatunkow

As with the truths revealed in August devalued in my head (I know, shortly before the thirty ... well, better late then never), the man started from scratch to put certain questions. Among other things, on life already. I recommend a book, because I had done a great impression on me. Perspicacity, shrewdness and intelligence, the author simply are stunning, and the full respect and courtesy and tact to return to his opponents ... a wonderful example of refinement to island aristocracy. All przesmacznym written language, a great translation (typed name of the interpreter later)

The opponents of evolution by natural selection have only one request: kindly asked to niepitolenie this topic without reading and understanding of Darwin. Spikes can stick everywhere, especially if the engine is ignorance, but it irritates me (in total should be fun) to speak on the topic, for who does not read the August fundamental works. In the light of Darwin's explanations other comprehensive basis of theory of species can not (taking into account the scientific evidence currently available), stick to together. Establishing the basis for the theory of evolution was all the more amazing that the author did not have the achievements of genetics, which greatly hampered thinking, because it deprives irrefutable reasons explain the variability and the mechanism of inheritance - phenotypic effects of genotype. You see, dear - the researcher feels resistance from saying that something is impossible, or eternally valid. Strength of science lies in the fact that he is forever the developing project of humanity, but there is no certainty as to the accuracy of any court can not be regarded as a proof of its falsity.

add Just in case, I think the assertion that the theory of evolution is a theory, however, and the need to prove, and certainly do not, and the holes are, etc. .. the gibberish and nonsense. I suggest to read the definition of scientific theory, instead believing that theory is no way supported the opinion expressed by Andrew from under sevens and JOHNNY immigrant from porcine Blot After dealing with Ladybugs welded beer, be with the word 'strong'. I recommend, however, Darwin.

International Colour Chart Used

Start

Write a few words here about books, which, in my opinion, very worth a read. This will start from the assumption of course very subjective list, I do not know how often updated. The objectives fit the list on the web are two: the first - maybe someone is interested and books on the occasion will be an interesting contribution to the conversation (It implies that we will be back here in the majority of people who I know personally), second (more important) purpose is such that I will serve as a reminder, to whom I reach for the position again, because such a selection of titles on the criterion.

Bede notes are short, I have neither the ambition nor the intention to write reviews. We are happy to talk a little, if anything someone more interesting. I will not wglebiac into details, because subjects presented in the books may visit the controversial, and I have no intention to induce outrage and tasiemcowych discussion, because first I do not have the time, and secondly, quoting a fellow 'I will not prescribe you a book here. " I encourage you to read.
