And one or more planes went down due to the ash cloud? It just wasn't a risk worth taking. Branson is being foolish.

Don't think office here. Think K-12 Education. As a teacher I make hundreds of copies each day. This could save school districts MILLIONS of dollars.

You're thinking wrong. Don't think office, think K-12 education. This could save school districts $MILLIONS every year.

This could save millions of dollars in education alone. I used to tach a science class and would make hundreds of copies every day. This could save schools millions.

Probably wouldn't work in Iraq. If this does work, it would pull heat from you and into the ambient environment. That means that there has to be a temperature drop between you and the air for it to work.

"A cubic centimeter of the stuff would weigh 287 lbs. (130 kg)." Deuterium is just a Proton and a Neutron. Wouldn't it weigh the same thing as a helium atom?

Now, that is where we diverge. I believe that misstated that line. You should have written that you have never found any evidence of God's existence. You cannot speak for anyone else, because religion is a deeply personal thing. Sometimes religious experiences come in grand universal form, but most of the time they are hyper-personal. I can tell you where I find my evidence, and that may or may not mean anything to you. My evidence has to do with there being extremely good people in this world that risk everything to help the most helpless people [International Justice Mission plug here] But, you cannot say that no one has ever found evidence.

(Btw, I understand the difference between sub-atomic theory and theology very well. But because you brought it up, I hope they don't find the Higgs. To me it would be so much cooler if it doesn't exist. It'ld send everyone beck to the drawing board! But in the same way, there is a difference between my hoping the Higgs doesn't exist, and your hoping God doesn't exist.)

I can play that game too.

sciÂence
Pronunciation: \ËsÄ-É(TM)n(t)s\
Function: noun
2 a: a department of systematized knowledge as an object of study, the science of theology,

But in a philosophical debate, the Dictionary definition of a word is meaningless. It is just one possible definition out of 6.5 Billion.

But while you have your dictionary open, look up "ad hominem" . Your close minded personal attacks on me make you no better than the worst of the zealous christians you despise.

I agree with that whole heartedly. History is not theology, but it's not being theology dos not make it science. Literature is also not science, but is a wide feild of study that requires evidence and knowledge. And further, I bet that a theologian would argue with you about your assumption that religious studies don't need to be researched and supported by evidence.
