Well, theorically, only material things (including air) are made of atoms. Today, we know that 80% of the universe is made of unknown particles called "dark matter". This dark matter is made of neither atoms, nor photons, nor any kind of light waves.

It's true... And I wonder if there are atoms in something which is not material... I think there are particuls, but of what ? In the occult tradition (I don't belong to a sect) light is made of fire element (invisible electricity) which is present in the universe... For instance the sun, which provides us light, is made, of course, of fire
and this fire is created by thermonuclear explosions. But light, on Earth, is not radioactive. We have an example with lightning. It's electricity. And with lamps who need electricity to work. For a candle, it's directly a matter of friction by stricking a match. But there the "spirit" of fire is present. We must use fire very carefully.

Les couleurs que l'on perçoit ne sont rien d'autre que des ondes de lumière qui vibrent à différentes fréquences. Pas de couleur sans lumière...

Colours are made of light waves of different vibration speed. If no light, no colour...
Low to hight vibrations = infrared, red, yellow, blue, purple, ultraviolet, X-ray, Gamma-ray...

I think that there are 3 kinds of education : first at home, then in the scholar system, and finally our own experience of life. But in France more and more chldren and teenagers have become a "danger". I think it's the fault of their frequentations and maybe of their parents who admit quite anything. I support private schools and high schools. It's where I had been taken. Private system is very strict in order to give to youth good studies and then a good job. Our experience of life takes the possibility to get stronger (mentally)and to know the reality of the world we live in.

Philosophy - "Socialism."

I am a Socialist, I have read the works of Marx and Engels. Now most think that I love Kim Jung Il, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot. But these men are no Socialists, they are the Fascist wolf in a disguise. They were opportunists and manipulators that used Nationalism and Militarism to get power, and on top of that China has sold out to America. True Examples of Socialist and Communist Nations are Vietnam and Yugoslavia. Think about it, When Tito died, the country fell into Ethnic warfare and Genocide. We must keep Direct Democracy, Outlaw the Bourgeois and the Bigots, and not let Religion force its hand in politics. This has been Matthew your local Tortskyist sighing off.

There are democrat countries, some of them can be as well communists. There are countries, like America, that are democrats, but not communists.
People are free in America and Europe. Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot were tyrans. Stalinism is a deviation of communism. The first "communist" being in the history was Jesus.
It may be true that America and France, who is now "socialist" have not the same aim.
OBAMA is more tolerant and closer to people. But America first. HOLLANDE is as well tolerant and close to people, but a big part of money goes to strangers. The problem, with HOLLANDE, is that he lets anybody enter in France. French socialism is generous to strangers, but is not communist. Because we won't go to jail even if we are opposants, like in USA. In stalinian and communist countries, one wrong word would send people and
their familly to gulag and working camps. China, little by little, turns a free country.
But there are working camps for the criminals. It's very good.

Philosophy - "Death punishment"

In many countries, including France, death punishment has been banished. I think it's not good because it may encourage the murderers to continue their horrible acts.

Hi, the problem is fundamuntaly the way of taking others lives. The social consciousness just reflect our fear of pain... Death punishement is a kind of virtual theater of "killing the dragon" but also a way of transferring pain.. Writting this i've just remembering this quote of Kenta Miura "Hate is a place where a man who can't stand sadness goes." But i would just say " Death punishment is a way where a man who can't stand pain goes".

Le problème est qu'en France, nous ne faisons pas assez la distinction entre mariage religieux et mariage civil. Cela entraîne beaucoup trop de confusion. Le mariage dit "civil" devrait changer de nom et pourrait être un "pacte d'union commune" ou une appellation de ce genre. Autre chose : ne confondez pas AMOUR et MARIAGE, c'est assez différent !

The problem is than in France, there are no real distinction between the civil marriage and the religious marriage. This causes too much confusion for people.

Frog, you know nothing both about France and religion.
Religion is almost banned in French schools, so they know very few about it.
To your reference:
the problem of evil is the question of how to reconcile the existence of evil with that of a deity who is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent (see theism).[1][2] An argument from evil attempts to show that the co-existence of evil and such a deity is unlikely or impossible, and attempts to show the contrary have been traditionally known as theodicies.
A wide range of responses have been given to the problem of evil. These include the explanation that God's act of creation and God's act of judgement are the same act.[3] God's condemnation of evil is believed to be executed and expressed in His created world; a judgement that is unstoppable due to God's all powerful, opinionated will; a constant and eternal judgement that becomes announced and communicated to other people on Judgement Day. In this explanation, God is viewed as good because His judgement of evil is a good judgement. Other explanations include the explanation of evil as the result of free will misused by God's creatures, the view that our suffering is required for personal and spiritual growth, the denial that God is omnipotent, omniscient, or omnibenevolent, and skepticism concerning the ability of humans to understand God's reasons for permitting the existence of evil.

You should not beleive in religion. We have no proof that Bible is right, and who wrote it.
Me, I beleive in the forces of nature and astrology. And I'm tolerant as far as they are tolerant with me. I think Jesus exists, and I think he was an extraterrestrian in mission on Earth. Don't you know that, according to scientific experts, the "suaire" (what wrapped the corpse of Jesus, had received a strong electric charge, and that's why we had the possibility to see his face (in black and white).And don't you think that the intensive light which took away Jesus, was an UFO ? Jesus had the ideas which never blamed women, or gays(if I remember well).

Sorry, but I disagree with you. I think "love", from the heart, can exist even between people of the same sex. And there is also a matter of freedom.

Hi, if you want to know what death is, just have a look at my blog, called "My near death experiment", in the field "science and technology", "France".
Death is not the end, it's a passage in another world, invisible to the living.

Philosophy - "Mother Earth, the universe, ..."

Do you beleive in Mother Earth ? According to me, she exists and has conscience.
And I also think that it is a possibility that "God", if he exists, could be in fact a gigantic Goddess. (it's the theory of my dad), and maybe our universe is inside her... The expansion of the galaxies could be a confinment. (it's my theory).But if so, what's after ? What do you think ? What would we find after ? A paradise ? A hell ? A parallel universe ? But I still think that, maybe, we cuuld be in a gigantic laboratory, like a cyclotron...

Well your theory is...Interesting. I however prefer Plato's theory of forms greatly. In his theory Plato states that the world of objects is filled with imperfect copies of a perfect item in the world of forms. For example if you were raised in Europe all your life. Now say you went to Africa and see their version of a triangle. You would recognize it was a triangle because you have the idea of a perfect triangle. The same can be applied for almost anything. (Dogs, Cats, Horses, etc.) I also favor Protagoras theory of imperfect truth. What he is basically saying is that truth is relative to person. For example it is a spring day in Athens. A man from Sweden says it's warm. A man from Egypt says it's cold. Who's lying? Neither.

Philosophy - "Believing in Creatures"

Since I was very little, I've believed not much in ghosts, but mostly in "mythical creatures" like dwarfs, trolls, fae, elfs, gnomes, sprites, etc. I've heard in Europe people have similar beliefs, but not many in America do. So does anyone else have similar beliefs? How come it's easy in America to tell children such creatures don't exist, but ghosts do?
