Someone Asked “What Are You Certain Of, Right Down To Your Bones, Without Proof?” And 40 Folks Delivered

Unfortunately yes and some proofs are not obvious as it's psychological abuse

Every neglected child

Sadly...many of them most certainly WILL. We don't deserve our wonderful doggie friends...

Read some tips, books, watch YouTube gardeners :)

Begin small and something not too demanding, like a cactus, a succulent, a fern. And good luck!

Put plants in ground. If they live, good. If they die, buy a different plant.

On the other hand, there's a logical fallacy in assuming that because we are alive, life is likely to occur. If (just as an example) there is a 1:1000000000000000000000000000000 chance for it to happen, and it didn't happen, we would never know. We cannot use our existence as an argument that there should be any others.

We probably are one of the least advanced civilizations.

Personally, like everyone else, I believe there's intelligent life too, somewhere very far away, possibly speculating whether or not we exist here on our planet Earth. However, what if it were just one planet at a time? I don't really believe it myself, but I don't exclude the possibly of that "aliens" existed before Earth got us, and for the next generation of humans to inhabit another planet, ours needs to die out. That sounds kinda sad if that'd be true, but considering the relativity of time and the life span of living beings compared to the life span of celestial objects....

There are so many things that has to be exactly in the right spot in order for life to prosper. Let’s call the Milky Way galaxy Earth’s “country,” let's call the solar system​ Earth’s “city,” and Earth’s orbit within the solar system Earth’s “street.” Thanks to advances in astronomy and physics, scientists have gained deep insights into the merits of our tiny spot in the universe. To begin with, our “city,” our solar system, is in a part of the Milky Way that many scientists call the galactic habitable zone. This zone is about 28,000 light years from the center of the galaxy and contains juuust the right concentrations of the chemical elements needed to support life. Farther out, those elements are too scarce. Farther in, the neighborhood is too dangerous because of the greater abundance of potentially lethal radiation and other factors. Then you have the fact that Earth spins around the sun keeping us roughly the same distance from the sun year-round... continuing >>>

And yet a lot of ppl think that way. I personally like that it blows the (human made concept) of a god right out the window. It's narcissistic to think someone is waiting to grant you wishes if you pray to it anyway.

No. It would be the exact opposite.

I find that statement kind of strange though. It's not conceited to think you're the only one in a building, even if you can't see all of the rooms. If there's another person, you're just misinformed by lack of proof, not conceited.

I was looking for this comment. We don't consider time as well as space when thinking about intelligent life in the universe. It's possible that we are alone at this point in time. That doesn't mean that there has never been or never will be other intelligent life in the universe.

Private still have to take the tests in Britain

I agree completely. My wife was a Special Ed teacher for many years and it was a real eye opener for both of us.

I 100% agree. Though a lot of kids go to public school almost for fun, just to see friends, but really Gen Z is so lucky in this online age to be able to find online school programs that actually help them. Of course, this is no excuse for public schools being the way they are.

But remember keep voting for them they "promo" to fix it 🙄

I don't know where you live, but most states in the US require private school students to take standardized tests. When you lie ( and saying something is true when you don't know is lying) you damage your credibility.

I would say you've just written a brilliant refutation of standardized tests and "mandated " common core standards.

now luckily at my UK school we have a few lessons about finance. it's not like we didn't already know all of it, but it proves things are changing.

It doesn't mean that we would lose the developments that we have made. We'd still have that knowledge.

I do not miss being a teenage lesbian in the 90s at all.

We have learnt many useful things along the way. Nobody wants to return to the Middle Ages, but I think we should stop to think where we are going, and whether our mad lifestyle really makes us happy.

I enjoyed the 80s. The economy in the 90s meant frequent layoffs for me.

Really - I drilled through my hand Monday, and it was no worry.

I am sure they contribute a great deal to that feeling of happiness.

They are very beautiful. And cause happiness in more ways than one.

Right!!! I was thinking the same thing

I could do without smartphones!

I think 60% are stupid trolls and 40% are people with untreated mental illness or some other educational issue that keeps them from understanding.

It's comparable to scientology...
