This is kind of an iffy, since FVH was always in a legal gray area. FVH, for those who don't know, was a massive collection of fundamentalist videos that I made almost 3 years ago to archive videos from creationists that were taken off of youtube, as well as a place where commentary was...

Even though I don't make many videos, I do try to find a balance between the visuals and the audio, although I tend to focus on the audio, since that is the mode of narration, and is easier to mess up during recording than video. However, if you are going for a video where the narration is the...

I would assume so, though it might be difficult because their DNA/RNA uses an arsenic backbone, rather than the phosphoric backbone common to other forms of life, and since arsenic is more than twice as heavy as phosphorus. However, I figure that they would just introduce it to a phosphorus-rich...

After much speculation, NASA, in a press conference, revealed the piece of research that they had hinted at: a microbe that thrives in arsenic, replacing phosphorus with the toxic element. http://www.nasa.gov/topics/universe/features/astrobiology_toxic_chemical.html Ok, so it's not the "life...

Re: Does race exist or is it a poor way of dividing up human The associate dean of biological studies at my university that did research on this, and I think what he determined was that there was more genetic variation within races than between races. He's published 2 books on the subject. His...

I'd either call myself Pope Peter II, so that it would ensure that I'm the last pope (at least according to the Prophecy of the Popes) or I would name myself Robopope.

As far as I know, auroras do not have a symbol because they are not fixated in the sky. Regular novae do not have symbols either, but supernovae remnants do, if the remnant is prominent enough, so I suppose that a prominent nova remnant would get the same treatment*. In that case, the supernova...

The best option we currently have is to either listen for radio signals from that planet's vicinity (assuming they are technologically capable and using radio communication) or to send a signal and hope for a reply. Other than that there really isn't any way we can detect life on a planet from...

(Emphasis mine) Astronomers, not astrologers. Astrologers aren't the ones who look in a telescope and make discoveries. Also, taking photographs and comparing them (a la finding asteroids or other objects in our solar system), wouldn't actually be any good, considering that the size of the...

Fast breeder fission reactors, which use Uranium-238 (>99% of all uranium), would have several billion years worth of fuel. The only problem is the nuclear waste, but that should be relatively easy to isolate and store away. If we could get fusion reactors to a feasible, sustainable level of...

Actually, while it's quite doubtful that life will arise on either the sun-baked, or dark-side sides, there is an area where day transitions to night, near the terminator, where there will be constant dusk/dawn (like the north/south poles during their summer solstices), where the temperatures...

To a scientist, it would make more sense if life formed from the most common elements around, but to a creationist, this is utter bullocks, because if evolutionism were true, the more fittest creatures would be made of tough elements, like iron and titanium, only GAWD could formulate such a...

Re: I really need some advice on finding my path in science I have a similar problem, however, the decision is still a few years away, though I have made 2 career path changes already. Early on, my plans were to look into architecture or law. Come application time, I scrapped both of those...

I myself suffer from ADD, and have been on Concerta (a time-release meythlphenidate pill) for.... about 8-9 years now. I can say that I do focus a lot better when I'm on it.

I hope they program in C as well! As a self-certified xenocopulationologist, I can say that if aliens were in contact with us, I'd be having some "close contact" with the aliens. Besides, the Arecibo message was not intended to make contact, but simply to demonstrate the abilities of the...

Biomedical engineering. Prosthetics, biocomputing, biorobotics, and whatnot. Not strictly science, but the application of science. It's also what I study.

Biomedical engineering. Transhumanism for the win! If we can learn narrow the gap between what we can mimic and what we can't, as well as improve upon our own (and other living things') natural physiology, as a species humanity will get a lot farther. Kinda the driving force behind why...

Re: Christianutuber needs serious psychological help Yeah christianu2uber was a target of /b/tards years ago. He even has his own EncyclopediaDramatica page. He hasn't really been seen in years.

Wow, I haven't updated this in a LOOOOOONG time. Anyway, it seems that I've gone from the modest 28 videosets shown above, to 83. I will hopefully begin uploading more this week. Anyways, the cataloging of all the videos is a pain, so I will link you to RationalWiki, where I have the first 50...

The scariest one yet: http://www.youtube.com/user/FundieVideoHell I dunno if that counts, since I am the one who is in control of the channel. :P Oh, and this is where I get my Creation in the 21st Century videos from: http://www.youtube.com/user/rkjles
