  1. That's shocking: it is a criminal act and MUST be dealt with by law. Dealing with this in-house is no better than sweeping the matter under the carpet. Thankfully, the vast majority of pastors would never do such a thing. The 'bad eggs' completely mar the good name of the church.
  2. I know a guy that worked on the team that made a whole nation a solar powered regime. This involved installing many batteries (and PV panels of course). Renewable energy in Tuvalu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . It was an incredible project but they are now planning the next stage of expansion to cope with the increased consumption triggered by the ready available of relatively cheap electricity. This PV expansion will occur in 2017. One way to stave off having to increase the power grid capacity is to have as many possible roofs in Australia fitted with PV panels.
  3. When the lunar cell is fully developed, at least there will be a base load on cloudless, full moon nights.
  4. The turn of the century was only 16 years ago, i.e., a century after Australia became an "indissoluble union" of six colonies. The Constitution was written in the 1800s, a long time before your heavy volumes of English law.
  5. I have known anti-vaxxers who voted Green Party and were avowed atheists. Not sure about the religion claim. The background to vaccination is that Edward Jenner observed that milkmaids who had developed cowpox rarely contracted smallpox. From this idea vaccination was born. Edward Jenner was a son of a minister and was a Christian. Yet, through the introduction of vaccination. A BBC documentary about eight years ago made the claim that Edward Jenner saved more lives than the work of any other human. Quite a claim for a Christian.
  6. Is the material on this couch vulvat or leather?
  7. That's the one. Push button operated automatic gearboxes were considered a revolutionary leap in technology back then.
  8. Michael Faraday, the "Father of Electricity" firmly believed that God created everything so I am not sure where you are coming from Pearo. See: About us | The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion
  9. "To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry is commonly based on empirical or measurable evidence subject to "scientific method", ("scientific method", Oxford Dictionaries: British and World English, 2016). Marty you have just made statements that are not based on empirical (verified by observation) or measurable evidence. Vertebrate fish first appeared about 530 million years ago. Dinosaurs lived and evolved from 250 million years ago (where is the observable or measurable evidence for 250 million years?) and lasted until about 63 million years ago (who observed this?) - that's 187 MILLION years they lasted for. When they bit the dust it allowed mammals, including our ancestors, to evolve. They didn't come down from the trees until 2 million years ago (where is the observable or measurable evidence for 2 million years?), and our own particular species has only been around for about 200,000 years (where is the observable or measurable evidence for 0.2 million years?). We are literally a flash in the pan on geological timescales. We may continue to evolve and eventually leave the planet, we may disappear in an extinction event of our own making in the near future. Either way the Earth will survive and life with it, and when an ecological vacuum appears, something WILL evolve to fill it. Eventually, in 4 or 5 billion years, our sun will use all its fuel and become a red giant before collapsing into a white dwarf, effectively ending life on Earth. We can only conclude that this is your belief system.
  10. [ATTACH]48599._xfImport[/ATTACH] Thanks for that M61A1, these regulations show (see screenshot above) that both Keep Left and Keep Right signs are used in Queensland:
  11. [ATTACH]48598._xfImport[/ATTACH] This is helpful.
  12. Built by an Aussie too. First Noah, then Ken Ham (from Queensland).
  13. Someone had a one-track mind when they were naming that street.
  14. [ATTACH]48593._xfImport[/ATTACH] This is what I saw in Coober Pedy.
  15. There isn't much to see when studying black holes.
  16. How about, "the fool has said in his heart: There is no God" Psalm 14 verse 1?
  17. Imagine what the reaction is every time says to you: "name and address please"? Who would take you seriously if you said "I live at? Kuntz Avenue". It would frequently by misspelled too, I would imagine.
  18. I am sure the pilot is reading that sign on the approach!
  19. The explanation I heard is that, now the 144,000 places are taken, they're starting an overflow heaven on earth, or words to that effect. That is what I was told by them.
