Atheism is not a belief; it is a lack of belief.

Not funny.
And the traditional meaning of 'retard' is to slow something down.
Being 'tardy' means you are late, because you were slow.

Oops, I just wasted about 5 minutes watching your gif; a perfect game of snake.
Mesmerising.

I did not know gifs could be that long.

There is a list of mathematics books in the sticky.
https://sites.google.com/site/scienceandmathguide/subjects/mathematics#TOC-Books

>>5780864
Necessary for what?
If you are studied for a specific course in Mathematics, your tutor should have given you a recommended reading list.

>>5780832
There was an app called the Wiibrater that you should still be able to download.
That is far easier than trying to fiddle with the circuits.

>>5780826
Above what?
The sentence has no meaning unless you specify.
Above the North pole?, south pole?, Taj mahal? Where?

>>5780795
From which point of view?
In space, what would one use to calibrate direction?

Imagine a wheel rotating around a central spoke.
Viewed from above, perhaps it is clockwise. But then viewed from below it is spinning anticlockwise.

I did explain.

>Plasma is blood without the red blood cells
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_plasma

>>5780782
Red blood cells are red.
Plasma (blood without the red blood cells) has a pale yellow colour.

>>5780779
>Color is an illusion.
No.
'Illusion' is defined as a distortion of the senses.
You see in colour even when your senses are not distorted (If your eyes and mind are healthy)

>>5780728
1. There are lots of different colours of blood in the animal kingdom.
http://buburuza.net/2009/12/5-animals-with-very-odd-colored-blood/
Lobsters actually have blue blood, for example.

2. >If it is a universal law that large masses of water will appear blue.
Water is almost completely clear. It appears to be blue because it reflects the colour of the sky. (Although in actual fact I think it really is slightly blue, but it still mainly looks clear)

>would that mean that all planets with water and vegetation would look like Earth (from space that is)?
I do not know. I suppose it depends how much of the planet is made up of water, and what the rest of the planet is made of.

>>5780725
The Earth only casts a shadow on the Moon during a lunar eclipse.
This only lasts for a short amount of time.

What you are referring to is when the Sun illuminates the Moon, but not at a straight angle from the point of view of the Earth.
refer to my image.

The moon will appear to us as a crescent Moon in this scenario.
The rest of it is 'in shadow', but it is not the shadow of the Earth.

>>5780722
It does not prove anything; it is flawed.

>>5780707
>By positioning himself here
Amusing choice of words, considering that it is a womans right to choose when she starts having sex, not yours.

>>5780476
Go away.

>>5780437
True.
The fact alone does not support the conclusion that it is a good idea to 'get rid of the male sex entirely.'

>>5780416
>If we got to a point where we could reproduce exclusively with females

we are already at that point.

"Scientists in Australia have found a way to fertilise eggs using genetic material from any cell in the body - and not just sperm.
The technique could potentially help infertile couples to have children.


Theoretically, we can use somatic cells from a female to produce the same embryo

Theoretically, it also could mean that lesbian couples could give birth to a baby girl without the need for a father. "

OP, your 'radical feminist friend' is correct that men are not necessary to create a child.

>>5780342
>Btw, animals that don´t have male don´t have a female. They´re asexual.
False.
See >>5780174

They are all female.

>>5780382
>atheism is the rational conclusion every non-retarded person reaches when learning about science.
Calling Isaac Newton 'retarded', are we?
He, and thousands of other scientists who are not/were not, atheists.

You said that you had 66% so far, yes?
If that is true, and all you require is 70%, then that means that you are just 4% from your minimum desired grade.

If that is the case, then this is the equivalent of a 40% mark from a 10% test added on to your 66%.

>>5778707
>If it is worth 10%, and you require 4 marks for the total, then you will need 40% on that test for the 4 marks.
>(40% X 10% = 4%)

>>5778692
Then you can retake the multiple choice test?
Your mark for the retake should count.

You should not have a 0% that drags your entire grade down, just because you were ill, which is completely not your fault.
