Myths

woah, this blew up fast 0_0  I haven't had this much success on a forum topic ever.

nonetheless, TIME TO DROP SOME SCIENCE INTO THE BITCH (excuse my french)

There is something called the Endogenous Retrovirus.  This is a very sciencey term that I suck at explaining, so instead go look up Zachary Moore's podcast on this virus.
To put this iin a nutshell, the ERT is a virus passed through the blood, carrying diseases all the way from the Black Plague.  One of which includes the vHERV.  It is a virus that is transmitted through blood or passed down from generations.  vHERV is a virus that mutates the DNA in which the creature is still a human, except it has alterations in DNA.  (before I go any further this was research conducted by Yale University.  LEAVE ME BE!) A vampire is an infected human.  A human that has it's brain enchanced.  Enhancing reaction times, processing power, muscles, immune system, etc...  How does this brain operate at such campacity, well it can't.  Unless the nutrients of human/animal (but more prerelavent in human) blood is ingested and spread throughout the system.  You might be asking, "But Flicker, blood is high in iron.  Much more then any human can ingest without complications."  Well my friend, Vampires can ingest 600% more iron then a human can without complications. 

Now science story time is over.

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT TRY TO DRINK BLOOD AT HOME IN EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS UNLESS ABSOLUTELY SURE IF YOU ARE A VAMPIRE.  WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY GETTING SICK, AND DYING.

I have read articles proving the possibility of vampires before but this one is probably the best. Another cool one was a claim that an enhanced brain that could process faster would account for the majority of "vampiric" symptoms. Increased intelligence, faster reactions, ect.

I had it open before you broke everything

Everything that Dudecore has claimed of my beliefs is also his "opinion" not a scientific fact.

What is your point? And you've got a respect for science? Perfect. Why do you believe in god then?

yes, I do have a respect for science. there is scientific evidence to support the fact that God exists.

IT IS FIXED! And I don't think they walked over it, I think they just briefly army-crawled and you just sorta flopped down in some mud of not-backing-down. Terrible Metaphors FTW!

Pg. 4 is still broken though

Thank you!  I like taking a form of credit for finding other people's work and making it public.

Please explain. I'm more then interested in hearing what scientific proof there is.

Stop fighting over religion.  We can never know in that regard, we can't force our ideals on ANYBODY.  So in a sense, your both right.  So stop being stupid and arguing about whose right when it is an opinionated ideal.

''Endogenous retroviruses contribute to the evolution of the host genome and can be associated with disease.'' is the name of the study.

the Earth is positioned in the perfect orbit to have temperatures that support life, our DNA makeup is far too complex to be some random string of primordial sewage that got smarter over the years, there has yet to be another planet with life on it, fossils of sea creatures have been found atop mountains and this supports the theory of the great flood, there is evil in the world, a direct result of the fall of man, and there is good in the world, which is a direct result of God.

oh, well I was wrong in this regard.  Dudecore and Icescythe are bothe deemed wrong in this argument.  Argus has show us the way.

Incorrect. One of us can in fact be correct.

If person "A" says:
"The earth is flat"

Then person "B" says:

"I do not believe the earth is flat".

How do we determine who is correct? We use the scientific method, logic and reason, evidence and peer review. We do not say "it's just an opinion, everyone is entitled to their own view of if the earth is flat."

If you claim something like god to be true, you must prove it to me - or I reject the claim. The notion that people believe in the bible is funny to me - its absurd, delusional, and hysterical behavior.

I also do not like being told what I can and cannot talk about. I do not do it to anyone else, do not do it to me.

It is not I who has shown the way but our Messiah, Mlerner. Welcome to the church Flicker.

I just wanted you two to stop fighting.  It's giving me a headache
