[QUOTE="DeeJayInphinity"] "The waste produced after five years of operation is approximately the size of a softball and is a good candidate for fuel recycling." Tauruslink

Mind showing me a nuclear waste recycling program that has been succesful? Can it handle the waste from the nuclear reactors from hundreds, possibly thousands, of these nuclear reactors? Because they plan on putting them in our backyards. literally.

Look, i'm not saying that nuclear energy is "teh devil" or anything outrageous like that, i honestly beluieve nuclear power could still be the answer to the energy crisis the world is inevitably going to face. What i'm saying that if we can't realistically handle the output of waste that these things will generate in a safe and environmentally friendly way, then it would be massively irresponsible to allow manufacturers to just start pumping 'em out and sending them off all around the globe.

I understand your concern, but there are storage facilities for nuclear waste, which I believe could hold the waste untill a permanent solution is found. This is one of those facilities: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yucca_Mountain

Overall, I think the benefits outweigh the risks.

Yeah, i'm aware of the Yucca Mountain project. It's in my practically in my backyard, i live in Las Vegas. I think it's worth mentioning that the initial moisture tests that they ran to assure that Yucca Mountain is a dry enough environment to safely store the waste (seeing as any amount of moisture could lead to run off, and therefore possible contamination of surrounding areas and water supplies), were "inconclusive". Why? because all of their instruments suffered water damage.

I'm looking for soures now.

ahh, well, the questions that i personally had were all aimed towards blackregiment. It was easy to argue with him.. I can't come up with anything from scratch, i'm not used to playing the instigator. Maybe if you started off and made some baseless claim from the bible? :D

Meh, why don't we just let this topic die? It's getting old... And annoying.

Agreed.

Yeah, i can go with that.. it's not like the wait will be long til the next religion thread pops up :P

[QUOTE="HardQuor"]So no one is concerned about the fact that the waste generated by even one of these stations will last longer than any known human civilization has ever lasted? even longer than any man-made structure has stood. And that we currently have exactly zero ways of getting rid of this toxic waste, except by storing it in man-made structures designed to last only a fraction of a fraction of the radioactive life of this waste?DeeJayInphinity

You said you have unanswered questions, I will gladly answer them for you.

whoa, there little buddy! watch your quote tags. I don't like it when people attribute the wrong arguments to the wrong people.

Please do not call me little buddy.

please do not attribute other people's arguments to me. Especially my opponents.

Do you even know the definition of 'atheist?' Atheism is not a religion--it is a state of mind, one of which the person believes that there is no god overlooking the universe like some sort of celestrial father. Atheism doesn't take faith because atheists aren't putting faith into anything.

You want to debate whether evolution is true or not? How cute. I would like to see this extensive list of proof that you claim Biblical Christianity has that proves it's legitimacy. In the meantime, though, I shall post my own list of sources of evidence in favor of evolution:

*List O' Links*

I hope you have fun reading through my list, especially considering there's a lot your uninformed mind can learn on the many different fields of biology--not just evolution. If you require more proof in favor of evolution, just ask me and I'll fetch you another list of links as well. While you're reading through that, however, I'll have fun reading whatever silly Bible verses you give me as your own source of proof for Christianity.

-Jiggles-

 

I like you. Your brain works and you think rationally! Let's be friends.

This post deeply disturbed me for some odd reason.

:lol:

I think you have an admirer :P

In lighter news, with a full page of unchallenged posts by the naturalist/atheist side, I think it's apparent that the lone defending theist has stepped away from the plate. Any other, more level-headed, rational believers want to take his place? We still have a lot of unanswered questions :?

You are playing word games like, "it depends on what the meaning of is is". Sorry, when you do not believe in God, you reject Him. You can twist it all you want it won't change the truth. Evolution is an unproven hypothesis and I reject it. God is not a hypothesis, He is a spirit.   

blackregiment

What he means, is that you fundamentally misunderstand the fact that we are not risking anything. therefore, you are the one that is "not thinking clearly or rationally".

You will get to tell God that face to face someday. Let me know how that goes!

Yeah, and you can feel as smug as you want up until the moment your heart stops pumping blood to your brain and your coherent thoughts suddenly cease. Then all of this time of ours that you've so liberally wasted will have been for naught. Try enjoying your life instead of making up reasons to suffer through what little of it you have.

[QUOTE="Mr_sprinkles"][QUOTE="blackregiment"]

 

So predictable. That is always the final coup de gras that atheists use. I always look forward to the point when they resort to its use. They think it is an insult but it really just "puts the crown" on their position or unreasonableness. Anyone who claims they would risk their relationship with God, their eternal salvation on the fact that they dislike another person is not thinking clearly or rationally.

Do you stop watching football because you don't like a player? Do you drop out of college because you don't like a teacher? Do you stop dating any girls because you met one you didn't like?

Thank you for that crowning statement.

Gal 4:16  Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

blackregiment

There lies your fundamental misunderstanding of the atheist position. We do not reject God, because as far as we can see there is no God. In the same way that you do not "reject" evolution, you don't believe it happens at all.

You are playing word games like, "it depends on what the meaning of is is". Sorry, when you do not believe in God, you reject Him. You can twist it all you want it won't change the truth. Evolution is an unproven hypothesis and I reject it. God is not a hypothesis, He is a spirit.
