years ideas earth
If you have this idea that the earth is only 6,000 years old, you are denying, if you will, everything that you can touch and see. Youre not paying attention to whats happening in the universe around you.
art kids math
Speaking of human computers, there is a guy named Art Benjamin, he's a human calculator. He says it's a skill he learned as a kid. Now he's a math professor at Harvey Mudd. He can find the square root of a six digit number in a few seconds. Practice.
stars people navy
The US Navy has several people on every ship that can navigate by the stars. They don't fool with that.
two years half
A two-and-a-half-year-old is pretty experienced at making a mess, anyway.
school skills engineering
I am so old, I entered engineering school with a slide rule. And I left engineering school with a calculator. I can still use a slide rule but it's not a skill you especially need anymore.
information body stores
That's what makes a human a human, if we store information outside our bodies.
real fall black-and-white
I always say when you see that old black-and-white footage of the rocket on the launch pad and it falls over and explodes, that's because people had slide rules. Not having the decimal point is a real drawback. You want the decimal point, take it from me.
couple century evidence
In another couple centuries I'm sure that worldview won't even exist. There's no evidence for it.
moon people mars
If NASA is to reach beyond the Moon and someday reach Mars, it must be relieved of the burden of launching people and cargo to low earth orbit. To do that, we must invest more in commercial spaceflight.
past answers creationism
Unlike science, creationism cannot predict anything, and it cannot provide satisfactory answers about the past.
everyday everyday-life
SCIENCE is a part of EVERYONE'S everyday life.
people humans proven
Researchers have proven that scientifically, that all humans are one people
believe thinking ideas
People confuse the word cynicism with the word skepticism. One is “you’re not gonna pay attention to anything, think everything’s screwed up, nothing’s ever gonna work out right”, that’s cynicism. But skepticism is, “you’re presented with evidence and you do your best to draw conclusions based on that”. So, as the saying goes, Bill Nye, do you believe in ghosts? No. However, I would love to see one. Bring it on. I’m open minded to the idea, but the more I look into it in a skeptical frame of thinking, the less likely it seems.
editors two people
There are just two people entitled to refer to themselves as "we"; one is the editor and the other is the fellow with a tapeworm.
