I thought unexplainable phenomena were not direct evidence of anything--that, unless we can repeat the scenario and study what happens, we can not form conclusions off of these.

correct
what's your point?

Nevermind, that was a bad example, I checked and med technicians make less where I live. I think it varies somewhat but there are better examples involving things like social work.

again the answer is that men and women can both choose a higher paying field.

Did the bronchiosaurus have feathers, quills, or bare skin?

you mean brachiosaurus
we don't know, but based on its taxonomy we know it didnt have feathers
if it had anything it would be fur-like barbs

I saw Sargon's response to Steve Shives and I think one thing he neglected to consider was how female-dominated jobs make less than similar male ones; nurses and med techs require similar levels of education and are just as important to healthcare yet nurses don't make as much. Thoughts on this?

why aren't there more female med techs then?

After an ex-bf died, electronics suddenly turned on/off tho NOT connected to power. His widow experienced much more than I. NOT dreams, hallucinations, wishful thinking. He and I were staunch atheists but I now believe in an afterlife. Would unexplainable phenom cause you to re-evaluate beliefs?

every day at least one thing makes me question reality
I am not a strong atheist, I am a skeptic
there have been a long series if events in recent months that make me wonder if fate is a real thing

Am i a bad person for not feeling sadness when someone dies?

mmmm no
you may be sociopathic if someone really close to you dies and you feel nothing
but that doesn't enharently mean you're bad, per se

Do we know why things are ''alive'' ?

no... we know HOW things are alive.
Basically life is anything that consumes energy and uses it productively and expels energy after it consumes it.
it's a natural result of complex chemistry

Xian (paraphrased): This book's called 'What if Jesus Had Never Been Born? Amr Skpc: He never was https://youtu.be/bcZJVfw_GOo?t=31m54s Perhaps that was just hyperbole, but have you ever done a video addressing the historicity of "Jesus"? I'm an atheist, but the JNE claims are junk history.

I just got my driver's license and I drove a friend around today, and after a realization kicked in. Of course I know to be careful and cautious as always, but I truly realized I could be responsible for the death of my friend or anyone else. Any advice?

Yes... pay the fuck attention to the fucking road.

What are the colleges like up there in Canada. Do they have free tuition or a variant of that?

College and University is subsidized by the government to a certain extent, but it's quite expensive to go to university
