January 31, 2018, full moon was special for three reasons: it was the third in a series of “supermoons,” when the Moon is closer to Earth in its orbit — known as perigee — and about 14 percent brighter than usual. It’s also the second full moon of the month, commonly known as a “blue moon.” The super blue moon will pass through Earth’s shadow to give viewers in the right location a total lunar eclipse. While the Moon is in the Earth’s shadow it will take on a reddish tint, known as a “blood moon.”
A Blue Moon, a total lunar eclipse, and a super moon all at the same time. A rare treat lit up the sky that happened last time in 1866!
I don’t eat peanut butter. I find it repulsive and will go out of my way to not eat things with peanut butter.
People have often told me that I’m missing out. That food is so much better with peanut butter. “You’ve never had a Reese’s Cup? Or a PB&J? How can you be happy without having had peanut butter?”
The answer is, I’m plenty happy because it’s not important to me. It’s not something I require. I had my taste and quickly realized that I wasn’t missing out at all.
When someone asks “Can you be happy without believing in God?” what they’re really saying is “I don’t think I could be happy without believing in God.”
They’re projecting their feelings about religion onto others. They’re assuming their experiences are the only experiences.
We all do it to some extent, but it’s important to recognize that just because someone requires religion to be happy, that doesn’t mean that others do. I’m actually happier not believing in any religion? What if I asked you how you could be happy while being religious.
People might think that’s funny. That it seems obvious how being religious makes them happier.
It’s the same for me. Of course, I’m happy without believing in any religion—and why couldn’t you be?
The religious God is a PB&J and I don’t need either of them to be happy.But that’s just me.
How can anyone oppose the non-existent, and debate it fervently on the Internet? It is a waste of time. The radical and fanatical religious will never try to understand, they will never have an open mind.
The only part of the body that has no blood supply is the cornea of the eye. It receives oxygen directly from the air.
The human brain has a memory capacity equivalent to more than four terabytes on a hard drive.
A newborn child can breathe and swallow at the same time for up to seven months.
Your skull is made up of 29 different bones.
Nerve impulses sent from the brain move at a speed of 274 km/h.
A single human brain generates more electrical impulses in a day than all the telephones of the world combined.
The average human body contains enough sulfur to kill all the fleas on the average dog, enough carbon to make 900 pencils, enough potassium to fire a toy cannon, enough fat to make seven bars of soap, and enough water to fill a 50-liter barrel.
The human heart pumps 182 million liters of blood during the average lifetime.
50,000 cells in your body died and were replaced by new ones while you were reading this sentence.
The human embryo acquires fingerprints within three months of conception.
The human body never ceases to amaze me. The more I learn, the more I wonder, the more questions have to be asked and more research to do. I just adore the human body: its physiology, chemistry, pharmacodynamics, anatomy, biology.
Studying medicine is never-ending and has always been an honor and a scientific privilege from which I am deeply humbled.
They’re incompatible, because they both compete to find truths about the universe and life itself. There are some fundamental truths that believers have to accept in order to be religious. Scientists do not have to accept anything in order to be researchers, just observe, follow the scientific method and provethe fact.Religion is based on believes, not facts.
In this gorgeous Saturday night, peaceful, with the sky so clear that I can see Jupiter and Saturn without binoculars, waiting for the Great Conjunction to happen on December 21th, 2020, this thought came to my mind: I cannot believe for the life of me that there are still apologetics for Creationism and Religion fanatics in this world of ours.
It is just logical. Using a little bit of math, simple mathematics. Nothing extreme, no rocket science involved:
The Strongest Muscle in the human body (based on its weight) is the Masseter. With all muscles of the jaw working together it can close the teeth with a force as great as 55 pounds (25 kilograms) on the incisors or 200 pounds (90.7 kilograms) on the molars!!!
Now it’s easy to understand why one suffers from headaches after clamping(Bruxism, grinding teeth)because of the effects of stress.
“Be ware of humans instead of be aware of dogs” – There are dogs with a high bite force but we can be very dangerous too. 👼
I love Carl Sagan scientific life. He was a scientist who, despite his passing on December 20, 1996 keeps on educating us with his intellectual abilities and philosophical analysis on life.
Books, articles, journals signed by several Nobel Prize winners, conferences about science, astrophysics, astronomy, philosophy and more.
Carl Sagan was a passionate advocate of scientific and critical thinking.
«The major religions on the Earth contradict each other left and right. You can’t all be correct. And what if all of you are wrong? It’s a possibility, you know. You must care about the truth, right? Well, the way to winnow through all the differing contentions is to be skeptical. I’m not any more skeptical about your religious beliefs than I am about every new scientific idea I hear about. But in my line of work, they’re called hypotheses, not inspiration and not revelation.» —— Carl Sagan
Along the way I have questioned and answered some queries that have satisfied my curiosity. And still, I am willing to change my mind if they are refuted with intelligence.
For example, I am extremely offended by some of the things that are written in the Bible and the Qua’ran and other religious books or booklets.
But more offended I am by the people who defend those biblical assertions and permissions to commit horrible crimes against humanity. I condemn and reject those writings.
Because humanity doesn’t deserve to be confused and abused by the fairies, by organized religions that all they do is to cause harmand false sense of morality.
A study (link below) last September 14, shows the atmosphere of Venus contains phosphine, a chemical byproduct of biological life. But none would have been more thrilled or less surprised by the discovery than the late, great Carl Sagan — who said this day might come more than 50 years ago.
«Ask courageous questions. Do not be satisfied with superficial answers. Be open to wonder and at the same time subject all claims to knowledge, without exception, to critical scrutiny. Be aware of human fallibility. Cherish your species and your planet.»—Carl Sagan
<br>Wer ist der wahre eigentümer/schöpfer des herzens ? Gott gibt nur das Herz, du füllst es. Achtung. Was füllst du? Denn dann musst du es leeren. beschmutze nicht dein herz. Allah weiß auch, was in den Tiefen der Herzen ist. Alles was schön ist… Seele, Herz, Liebe, Glaube… Wer Kämpft, kann Verlieren. Wer nicht Kämpft, hat schon Verloren. Lebe jeden Tag deines Lebens, als wäre es dein letzter. Also wirst du eines Tages Recht haben"
