Question by : What have you done for evolution lately? Part 2?
This question is part two of “What have you done for evolution lately?” The original question was extended and eventually voted on. I was disappointed and surprised when only three people against the idea evolution chimed in. One person claimed they voted for Obama, which was where I was going with the question originally. I was just really just looking for witty one-liners.
I’m glad I didn’t just give the ten points to the Obama supporter because Raisemeup, the person who won the vote reached out to me. That was when I started thinking about it in all seriousness. I’m surprised at how many people disagree with the idea of evolution, and I want to challenge all of you. When I extended the original question after being blasted by a bunch of non-believers I added an additional thought, the idea that our children are born, and adapt better than us, as we adapted better than our parents.
When Raisemeup contacted me he made his point by saying that mankind has always been, and that it is just our technological advances that have changed. My wife kind of agreed with him and tied in my comment about the children. Her point was that the kids aren’t smarter, and don’t have any more common sense then we do…they just know how to work all the new gadgets.
All of that being said; I will make my final argument on the subject. If the 4.6 billion years of Earths existence were only a single day, the 40,000 years of human existence would only cover the last two seconds. One, two, that’s almost like the blink of an eye. We can’t fathom millions of years…our minds cannot wrap around the vastness of the universe, most of us will never be able to travel to the outer regions of the atmosphere and look down upon earth. I believe in God, I believe in a living energy that binds the universe together through love. However I cannot read the definition of evolution in a dictionary and deny the fact that my daughter is evolving before my eyes. Take a second now to open a new tab on your Internet explorer and look up that definition.
It’s what we do every second of every day, it’s what the trees do every spring and fall, it’s what the universe has been doing since the beginning of time. Yes we can look back 10,000 years, maybe more, and say humans pretty much look the same and probably have the same brain capacity. You can say that all that has changed is our technology. You can say that our technology is killing the earth and us. The chemicals we eat cause us cancer, the radio frequencies we use to communicate hurt sea creatures. Our unwavering thirst for natural resources is sucking the planet dry and causing reoccurring wars. All this has been for as far back as we can see and how can you call that evolution? Evolution is simply change; it isn’t defined by good or bad.
When people think about the commercial mainstream “Theory of Evolution”, we think about the fish that climbed out onto land, and turned into a monkey, that turned into a human, and life has been getting grander ever since. Evolution and change doesn’t always mean that things are getting better. Things can change for the worse. There are cancers and viruses breaking down human resistance more than ever before. I think maybe where we went wrong was when we stopped evolving and became dependent on our ingenuity. We’ve created such a dangerous environment for ourselves; our bodies are having trouble evolving in a good way. We’ve conquered Earth and all the mammoth creatures that inhabit it. Instead of moving on into the universe I see how we’ve stunted our growth and our new enemies (viruses and cancers) are evolving more rapidly and taking advantage of our sloth like state.
The universe is constantly changing and evolving, it’s like being in Time Square in New York City. You cannot stand still; you must be in constant motion. If you stop you will be pushed down and trampled upon. I believe the human race is moving in that direction. We’ve become so dependant on our ingenuity that we have stopped evolving in the middle of rush hour and we are beginning to be pushed around. It’s only a matter of time before we are pushed to the ground and trampled by the crowd that is EVOLUTION.

Question by Roland: Can Buddhism help me overcome my laziness?
I am extremely lazy and a total loser in life. I started meditation (zen) and I was wondering if I become a Buddhist will I be able to focus on my computer programming and succeed? The money will be better of course which will make me more secure & happier but I intend to give a little away for the poor if I make much more than I need it. Thanks for your time.

Answer by Discuss Religion
To me, a lot of things did not make sense in Christianity.

I converted to Islam a few years ago. We Muslims love Jesus(pbuh) because he was one of God’s messengers. I became a Muslim when I realized these things

These are scientific proofs. Please go to the link below and take a look

http://www.islamreligion.com/category/34/

and this link also

http://www.islamreligion.com/articles/219/

Islam is the same religion that Abraham(pbuh), Moses(pbuh), Jesus(pbuh), Muhammad(pbuh) and all the other prophets preached. The word Islam in Arabic means submission to the will of God and that is what all the prophets did.

God sent many messengers to Adam’s(pbuh) descendants to let us know that we should worship none but God alone and to submit our will to God but people kept changing their message.

The Holy Quran says this about the Trinity

[4:171] O people of the scripture, do not transgress the limits of your religion, and do not say about GOD except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was a messenger of GOD, and His word that He had sent to Mary, and a revelation from Him. Therefore, you shall believe in GOD and His messengers. You shall not say, “Trinity.” You shall refrain from this for your own good. GOD is only one god. Be He glorified; He is much too glorious to have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. GOD suffices as Lord and Master.

[5:73] Pagans indeed are those who say that GOD is a third of a trinity. There is no god except the one god. Unless they refrain from saying this, those who disbelieve among them will incur a painful retribution.

[5:116] GOD will say, “O Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to the people, `Make me and my mother idols beside GOD?’ ” He will say, “Be You glorified. I could not utter what was not right. Had I said it, You already would have known it. You know my thoughts, and I do not know Your thoughts. You know all the secrets.

So if Christians believe in the trinity, they are ploytheistic.

According to the Qur’an, Jesus(pbuh) was born miraculously by the will of God without a father. His mother is regarded as a chaste and virtuous woman and is a highly respected figure in Islam. The Qur’an states that Jesus was the result of a virgin birth. If God says it will happen, it will. For Muslims Mary is a symbol of submission to God and piety.

Moses, Abraham, and Jesus(Peace be upon them all) brought Islam but people changed it and forgot it. The Bible was the word of God until people changed it. Today there are more than one thousand different Bibles. Why do you think there are so many different versions of it?
The Quran is in it’s Original form. It has never been changed. There are different translations of the Quran but there is only one version and that is the original form. That is why it must be recited in it’s original language so that it doesn’t change.

The word Islam in Arabic means submission to the will of God and thats what Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad(Peace be upon them all) did. God sent them to let the world know that they should worship none but God himself.

Christians don’t follow Jesus(pbuh) the way he said. No where in the Bible does Jesus say that he’s God and to worship him but thats what Christians do. When Jesus(pbuh) was praying, was he praying to himself?

But heres what Jesus(pbuh) did say in the Bible.

Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a MAN approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: (KJV Bible Acts 2:22)

Mark tells us in his gospel that Jesus was unable to do any powerful work in his hometown except few things: “He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.” (Mark 6:5). Mark also tells us that when Jesus tried to heal a certain blind man, the man was not healed after the first attempt, and Jesus had to try a second time (see Mark 8:22-26).

John tells us that Jesus cannot do anything by his own when he quotes Jesus as saying: “By myself I can do nothing…” (John 5:30).

And here are some facts. Jesus(pbuh) needed to eat food, he got thirsty and had to drink, he got sad, he got angry, and he got hurt. These are not the qualities of God.

As a Muslim, I believe that Jesus(pbuh) healed sick people and brought people back to life with God’s permission. Jesus(pbuh) even said

“By myself I can do nothing…” (John 5:30).

Quran [3:55] Thus, GOD said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, raising you to Me, and ridding you of the disbelievers. I will exalt those who follow you above those who disbelieve, till the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is the ultimate destiny of all of you, then I will judge among you regarding your disputes.

Please go to the link below and watch this debate between the Muslim scholar Sheikh Ahmad Deedat and the Christian reverend Eric Bock debate on the topic “is Jesus God?” You will see that no where in the Bible does Jesus(pbuh) say that he is God. In fact the word trinity is not even in the Bible. It doesn’t say that anywhere in any version of the Bible. Please watch by going to this link

Please watch this video by going to the link below and Shiekh Khalid Yasin explains that Abraham(pbuh), Moses(pbuh), and Jesus(pbuh) were all Muslims. Please go to the link below and watch.

http://www.islamreligion.com/videos/2157/

Understand that the word Muslim means someone who submits his/her will to God

.
Go to this link below and watch this debate with the Muslim scholar Ahmad Deedat proving to everyone that Jesus(pbuh) said in the Bible that prophet Muhammad(pbuh) will come.

Also Skip Estes who is now Yusuf Estes used to be a Christian minister in the U.S. before he converted to Islam. He became a Muslim when he tried to convert someone else to Christianity. He is known worldwide for his lectures. Please go to the link below to watch him tell his story of why he became a Muslim. It’s very interesting.

your gonna have to click on part 2 when part 1 is over and so on.

Our motto is “There is none worthy of worship except God”

Quran [2:112] Indeed, those who submit themselves absolutely to GOD alone,
while leading a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their
Lord; they have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.

Islam is not a name. Islam means Submission to God alone. Muslim is an Arabic word that refers to the person who Submits to God alone. Submission involves an active daily process of remembering and worshiping God alone.

I’m having a real hard time deciding where to start building. I just don’t know what are all the parts that I need.

I’ve looked at models on EBAY and they are about 2000 dollars so that is out of the question. I know all the electronics do cost a 1/4 of the price, it’s only expensive because of all the work that goes into it.

So here is what I figured out so far.
-Electrodes to detect
-ear buds for the alarm

It’s all the in between things where I’m having difficulties.

I’m not heavy into programming so I’m not going to write thousands of line of code on a microprocessor. What I plan to use is computer software like LabView, which is more of a graphical and visual programming tool, and let it do all the processing.

I do want to filter the signal before it goes into LabView so I guess I’ll need some analog filter circuitry to clean up the signal.

So what else should I include?
-power supply?

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

Best answer:

Answer by Frood Dude
Since you plan to use LabVIEW, look into what NI has to offer in data acquisition cards. Some of these devices have very high resolution coupled with high frequency response. Two things that I think you will have to have. Often these devices are used in conjunction with a signal amplifier. You may be better off trying to eliminate the amp.

Maybe this one?

Question by busyperson93: psychology help please?
please tell me which is the correct answer to these questions? thanks!!

A classically conditioned response will disappear if the:
1. the unconditioned stimulus paired with the conditioned stimulus is not associated with an immediate biological need
2. the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus.
3. the conditioned response was first a behavior that the animal had not normally engaged in
4. the conditioned response has either unfavorable outcomes, or outcomes that do not warrant such as response every time
5. the conditioned stimulus is consistently presented with the unconditioned stimulus.

in a person suffering from narcolepsy, he or she goes directly from:
1. stage 1 sleep to stage 4 sleep
2. wakefulness to rem sleep
3. rem sleep to wakefulness
4. wakefulness to stage 1 sleep
5. stage 1 sleep to rem sleep

according to the information processing theory of dreaming,
1. dreams provide an appropriate outlet to release what would be otherwise inappropriate wishes
2. dreams may help organize the day’s events, and aid in memory consolidation
3. rapid eye movements during rem sleep provides oxygen to the cornea cells, preventing their suffocation
4. dreams are attempts by the brain to make sense of random neutral activity
5. none of these above

rem sleep is often referred to as paradoxical sleep because:
1. rem sleep involves rapid eye movements which makes it like the person is about to wake up
2. brain activity is similar to a person’s waking state during rem sleep
3. the slow brain wave of rem sleep are paradoxical to the rapid eye movements demonstrated
4. the dreaming that takes place during rem sleep is not remembered the next day
5. all of the above

A classically conditioned response will disappear if the:
2. the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus.
Say you want the dog to stop salivating everytime he hears the bell. You ring the bell, but don’t give him the unconditioned stimulus (the food). After a while he will stop salivating after he hears the bell.

in a person suffering from narcolepsy, he or she goes directly from:
2. wakefulness to rem sleep
Look it up on youtube sometime. It’s rather interesting. They will be in the middle of a sentence and they will fall asleep.

according to the information processing theory of dreaming,
2. dreams may help organize the day’s events, and aid in memory consolidation
I have never heard of “the information processing theory of dreaming.” It made me feel better when google didn’t either. However, I HAVE heard of the information processing theory. Basically it’s saying we are not robots, we have to perceive everything and therefore that is how I came up with my conclusion just because the others didn’t make sense with what I know of the theory.

rem sleep is often referred to as paradoxical sleep because:
2. brain activity is similar to a person’s waking state during rem sleep
REM sleep is the most active state of sleep. It truly is as active as when you’re awake. My professor who taught us this always said that you will not have a peaceful sleep because you are so active!

I hope that helps you. Shoot me an email with further questions.

I think Mozart knew it made him feel good, bounced it off a few pals, and if it worked he went ahead with trying to publish it.
Others have done likewise with varying results.

Also, I’ve never had a problem with binaural beats so far. However, my experimentation with isochronic tones so far hasn’t been very pleasant. For me, binaural beats either wouldn’t do much or would be really great/relaxing, but isochronic tones make my brain feel really weird. I just listened to one for like 30 seconds or so that I think was isochronic, and my head feels all messed up. Last night I started panicking when this happened, because I thought I was going to have a seizure. So, I went to bed, and woke up in the morning just fine. All the negative sensations were gone, and I’m assuming I didn’t have a seizure. I remember reading somewhere that some of this stuff just doesn’t work for some people, so does this mean I should listen to binaural beats but not isochronic tones?

I just want to know how dangerous it is for me to use this stuff at the age of 15. I’ve done other things before (not drug-related, just clarifying) that was supposed to be for people 18+. I’m not proud of myself for doing those things, but I’m sitting here alive and well, despite age restrictions.

Thank you for your help.
