a powerful contender .....darkhorse ??
and cool dude too no doubt
Superstition, Luck and Vodoo

.......and yet my impression of you is opposite to this. You are outspoken, quick to respond, willing to display your obvious intellect, deep and thoughtful......If I could pick a handle for you it would be galloping steed instead. You are a leading contributor to these boards.
Just my observation.
Cheers
I always sort of assumed that maybe your handle was taken from the famous Dali painting, but now that I have looked it is the Horseman of Death and not The Darkhorse of Death like I had thought...

y'all makin' me blush, even as a kid praise made me uncomfortable.
at the end of the day, i'm just a dude makin' his way.
man i wish we weren't scattered all over the country, gatherings like these just aren't complete without hoisting a few beers
p.s. Commisso I'm not quite as skinny as the guy in that picture (benefits of working out)

no-no, the universe is not expanding into anything, it's the space that's expanding. here's an article that tries to explain it:

I just can't believe there are 65 pages on this, however I will continue to wear my lucky underwear!
i agree with the concept of the big bang. the red shift phenomenon does suggest a center point that the universe has been expanding from. while i do understand that space and time were created from the big bang, the most puzzling thing for me is this: what was before the big bang? if nothing, how did we get something from nothing? how did the big bang even occur if there was nothing before it? where did the big bang come from? what made it start? i realize these aren't easy questions, but what does current knowledge suggest?
i've always thought that this is one of the greatest pictures i've ever seen in my life. in case you don't know, i'll explain it briefly.. the planets in our solar system, including earth, orbit the sun. our solar system is just one solar system of many in our milky way galaxy. in this picture, you are seeing many many galaxies. to top it off, this picture is just a speck of the sky. if you were to look at the sky, this image would represent the width of a dime 75 feet away.
and just remember, as the bible says, we're the only planet with life, everything is here just for us, and the sun revolves around the earth. wake up people, stop ignoring science. science should be your religion.
