I enjoy attempting to think about perhaps as an alien might think, ~ where's the women?

when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. {5} And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

How would we live without frutcose corn syrup, phemaldehyde (Nutrasweet), flouride and monosodium glutimate in our diets?

We'd be thinner, more healthier, free from Diabetes, cancer, heart disease and a host of other byproduct diseases that the toxicity from all these additives in our diets, not to mention the pollution in the air, have created in our bodies

Stanton T. Friedman received BSc and MSc degrees in physics from the University of Chicago in 1955 and 1956. He was employed for 14 years as a nuclear physicist for such companies as GE, GM, Westinghouse, TRW Systems, Aerojet General Nucleonics, and McDonnell Douglas on such advanced, classified, eventually cancelled, projects as nuclear aircraft, fission and fusion rockets, and nuclear powerplants for space.

Practical uses of this device have also been said to include the following:

Astrology was commonly practiced in the ancient world. In order to create an astrological chart, the configuration of the heavens at a particular point of time is needed. It can be very difficult and time-consuming to work this out by hand, and a mechanism such as this would have made an astrologer's work much easier.
Setting the dates of religious festivals connected with astronomical events.
Adjusting calendars, which were based on lunar cycles as well as the solar year

While a century of research is finally answering the question of what the mechanism did, we are actually no nearer to answering the question of what it was for. There are numerous suggestions, any of which could be right. In order to understand the significance of this device at the period of its manufacture (c. 150 B.C.) one should be aware of the known scientific and cultural status at that period and take into account that:

The law of universal gravitation was not discovered, so the reason for the movement of the heavenly bodies was not understood.

The theory of planetary motion was not complete.

The only means of transmitting knowledge were either speech or handwritten manuscripts.

There is no single food that is "the enemy".

Oh well if we wanna smoke then most likely what you say will not change our minds. So those of you who are gung ho about not smoking just need to stay out of areas where smokers are and shut up about it, because every individual can do whatever they wanna do, and they shouldnt have to hear all the crap about it.
