Genographic Project

Don't listen to Mousey. The modern alchemy?!

Sounds interesting. Ask your mom. Maybe she won't think it's a waste.

This sounds like a pretty cool project. Is it lack of outside funds that makes it necessary for the $100 to join in on the project and recieve the whole kit? I'd love to see the results when they start coming in.

I dont want to participate in this because it is based on the assumption that we 'evolved' and the further assumption that we 'evolved' from the 'African Eve'.

yes easier to bury one's head in the sand and click your heals 3 times together and say "I'm in Kansas" and such....

Oh come on, stop whining over this silly project. Science is the modern alchemy. Don't believe in it too much.

OK - let me think about your point here...could it be perhaps...

Science - is to - alchemy - as - Brain surgery - is to - voodoo ...must be eh?

Yeah I think I can see the relationship....my yes - how we have advanced - to the point where our methods (and many years of expirimentation and detailed observation) yeild proven and reliable results - where back in the "old days" in times donimiated by religious superstition - well you just never knew if that hex or jinx or prayer or twist of the pin (in the wax doll that is) really would fix that hurt in ones brain....or if mixing essence of tiger semen, rice shavings and scrapings from the underarms of a yak might somehow combine together and (voila! ...majically) turn into gold! (all right!)...just might you know - don't know till you've tried it....(let me know how it went with the tiger!)

I'm going to ask my mom today. I do have enough in my account to pay for it, I wouldn't expect her to offer. I just ask her how to spend my money. I guess 20 years of brainwashing have paid off...

I would really love to get a geno map though. It should interest my mom too though, considering half of my genes are hers! lol I'll let you guys know what she says.

Science is basically a presuppositional worldview that asserts, by it's activity, that causes are natural and follow a discoverable and regular structure and in fact as a practical matter asserts that the largest group of people that agree that the event occured under the stipulated rules is 'science'. Science is not objective by it's own standard, it is simply group subjectivity. See epistemology.

Once again I am tempted to reply: Blah blah blah blah

I told my mom! I'm gonna do it!

no need to. I'll trust in Science to best explain causation, effect and phenomonology in nature - and you can continue to choose whats behind door #3 and hope you somehow randomly picked out something relevant or useful.

Your quite a laugh you know. Your like the little wise ass kid on the block who knows amazing amounts of completely useles and irrelevant garbage (what from reading comic books or something - dunnoh...) who loves to spout it off as if in doing so and hearing himself speak he feels others are awed by his amazing knowledge - well fraid not...but if it makes you feel better - if you need the reasurance then well tell us more - really we are utterly amazed at the useful insights you bring to us all - I'm sure we can use your collected wisdom as a guide to our everyday living - thank you so much.....now run along now...

That sure is a long post of justifying yourself.
