Ocean Big.
Plane Small.

2 or 3 years minimum searching before they find it probably with Air France they found wreckage a few days on the surface and that gave them the general search area. This is really worse than looking for a needle in a haystack.

The probe into the mysterious disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines MH370 plane is now looking at the possibility that the plane may have landed somewhere as no debris has been found so far, a media report has said. A report in the New Strait Times quoting sources within the international team probing the disappearance said that among the areas it was revisiting was the possibility that the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 had landed elsewhere, instead of ending up in the southern Indian Ocean.

Finally someone is listening to my theory.  Grin

Said it since day 1, where do you think UN launched the attacks on.... The world from? Yup, Diego Garcia! That place as a lot of dark history since the British took it over. People don't realise the tech we use is way behind what they have.

That's another funny thing to read, people trying explain. It with the tech we know about. Ha ha. Cognitive disadence bryant, they all suffer from this and can't think for themselves, only repeat the official line like good sheep and actually create more mid/disinformation while their at it. Its funny how when small sections of the mainstream suggest it people start raking it more serious yet before people were crazy conspiracy theorist when that term alone is coined by the same people who made this plane disappear!

Hippocits, cognitive disadence and insanity, yup, that's the western 'developed' world alright!

Isn't gage the one that josh paid off to keep his mouth shut? Sorry dude but that alone proves what a joke you are! People change yes but once a shill always a shill cause it shows what a selfish mother fucker you are. I said soon as you returned from your holiday with josh you were paid off. Ding ding ding! Bullseye again!

God I'm just too good at spotting scum! Then again, easy when your awake to what's going on in the world. I have a good laugh at everything no matter how dark cause I understand the flow of energy which in turn shows the truth to you, you don't even have to 'search' for nothing!

Peace

Amazing how there wasn't one military ship from any country, including the US, sailing the Indian Ocean report having an anomalous blimp on their radar.

You people are funny talking as if what the msm reports is true and getting so involved! They can't keep getting away with what they do any more because too many people k ow the truth now. They need to start ww3 before too many of us see it for what it is!

http://inquiringminds.cc/new-chilling-mh370-diego-garcia-links-beforeitsnews-via-uprootedpalestinians

The fact that no plane of this size and never as a plane with so many passengers completly gone missing since the 1990's should make a lot of you snap out of the bullshit trail.

Since 9/11 every plane as had the ability to be remotely controlled. You didn't even need the pilots to know what the plan is. And when the us/UK get together with the Rothschild's you know something big is going down!

Stop being sheep and use your brain and stop listening to the crowd mentality. The crowd mentality is insane, repeating things over and over expecting change. Working, paying tax, using banks etc etc and funding all this bullshit. The joke is if you only wake up and SEE they can't get away with this bullshit!

The rest of the world as had enough of it, wake up so called western 'developed' world to your masters and stop using their systems! Otherwise things will get much much worse very quickly.

Meh, probably too late already. Cognitive disadence as destroyed you all

Better things to do? rest assured I've had a look on your comment history at the time before I advanced such a thing, I'm not stupid, I verified because you might have been absent, or busy, but it wasn't the case either way, your comment history for the last 2 days speaks for it self this is a FACT. Factual argumentation I don't need to derail or advance something which is not a fact and believe in it like you are doing here (you believe you've proved something without providing proves.

Yes you are stupid and yes I have got better things to do than urgently find the time to make my case to you, but I'll do it at my own leisure and choosing. Where do you think arguing with a close-minded religious moron (troll?) who is blatantly allergic to facts or reason is is on my 'To do list'? It's not a priority, but again, what does the duration I take to bother to reply to your crap have to do with the argument at hand? Absolutely nothing. “Without providing proves.” Lol. I have continually 'provided proves' whereas you have yet to provide anything other than your unsourced opinion. Unlike you I actually bother taking the time to get some sources whereas you just keep making one false claim after the other and derail the argument with pettiness and irrelevance to avoid answering the original questions or providing any kind of source for them (almost certainly because you have no argument whatsoever other than just incorrectly saying things are facts when they’re not). So, please take your time and provide me with the evidence I have continually asked for here. Take as long as you want to respond.

1- Again which opinion you are talking about? I don't recall my self giving my opinion on something, I reported scientific, and quotes from the person them selves I didn't advance anything from there, unlike you

All of what you've said is your unbacked opinions. They haven't been 'scientific' at all, but have just been your opinions based on assumptions, fallacies and usually nothing at all. Here's some things you've yet to answer and you haven’t backed up with any sources but just made up to suit your argument:

No You are the one that might want to check his fact because you not only you are being fooled by some who tries to assimilate those scientist as atheist and spreads such FUD but their stance about religion was clear

Prove to me where their stance on religion is clear? It's clear that you don't know what you're talking about and that they're either agnostic or non-believers in god or religion and you haven't provided anything to the contrary. I provided you with some quotes (and more to follow) on how they're not religious at all but you still deny them for some reason.

Albert Einstein is Jew, and his work on light, general relativity had always a religious inspiration one of the most know example in science is the Cosmological constant

Can you provide me sources on where he stated his work has 'always had a 'religious inspiration' and what has his Cosmological Constant got to do with anything here?

This is a totally wrong, you are just taking a jab on religion with no proof here, fact are, half of the most prominent scientist and noble price winners are religious heck even the biggest figure of science of all times believes in God! such as Copernicus, Galilei, Kepler, Descartes, Pascal, Newton, Boyl, Faraday, Mendel, Kelvin, Plank, Einstein, Sagan, Hawkins.... ect ect

Who is this biggest figure of all time? Also, where is your proof that half of the worlds prominent scientists are religious? You've seemingly just made that figure up. You provided a list of some, but that doesn't mean 50% are. Give me the evidence and source of the 50%. And if 50% are religious then 50% are also not. Whatever your point is here it's irrelevant anyway.

Also it's funny how now you've changed your reply from your list is fud (and I can quote you denying it) to there are people in that list that aren't religious? wasn't the whole argument here, that religion makes people stupid? and only stupid people follow religion? so the existence of such list that you cannot denies and one which you focus on one or two person to try discredited is a proof on it self that not only you are wrong, but your whole argumentation is unwholesome.

I haven't changed my reply. My original argument was always there's people in the list that aren't religious:

Einstein, Sagan, Hawkins.... ect ect

You might want to check your facts here because neither of those three believe in god. At a push you could call most of them agnostic, but they'd probably say otherwise.

So no, the whole argument here wasn't 'religion makes people stupid'. Where did I say that? My argument is that you've incorrectly put three non-religious people onto a list of religious people. Einstein, Hawking & Sagan are not religious and never believed in god. It's fud when you include them and continue to keep them on a list of religious people or believers when they're not. You haven't provided me with any facts that proves they are religious or why they should be on the list. Nothing at all. You've actually since admitted that Hawking isn't religious and Sagan is agnostic, but yet you're still arguing about them being included on a list of prominent people who believe in god. Agnostics are not believers in god. No sources, just your own opinion and incorrect assumption.

antisemite? what are you talking about here, I stated fact and to prove how your argumentation is malsain again you are derailing and not answering the facts I provided, Judaism is not a RACE or ETHNICITY it is a RELIGION, people who follow Judaism are Jewish as there are Muslims or Christians, this is fact, ANYONE can become Jewish or Muslim, or Christian being regardless of their ETHENICITY, there are Arab Jewish, Asian Jewish, Black Jewish, White Jewish, Berber Jewish... this is a FACT, I want to see arguing against this.

What facts have you stated? You haven't stated any facts whatsoever. It's become quite clear you don't know the difference between them and opinion. Facts are something shared by all and are without doubt. You need sources to back facts up. You can't just say things and that makes them true. Where are your facts that being Jewish is just a religion and nothing else? You are still fundamentally not understanding the difference between the Jewish religion and the Jewish people. They are not the same but different. Yes, of course you can join the Jewish faith regardless of ethnicity, but that is not the same as being an ethnic Jew. I could convert to Judaism but it doesn’t mean I'm descended from the Jewish people or Hebrews. I could convert to Islam but that wouldn't make me an Arab. Your explanation is just coming from your own misinformed and ignorant opinion and is 100% factually incorrect.

Here are some facts with sources on the difference and two meanings:

 
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Jew

Jew:
1. An adherent of Judaism as a religion or culture.
2. A member of the widely dispersed people originally descended from the ancient Hebrews and sharing an ethnic heritage based on Judaism.
3. A native or inhabitant of the ancient kingdom of Judah.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews

“The Jews also known as the Jewish people, are a nation and ethnoreligious group originating from the Israelites (Hebrews) of the Ancient Near East. According to Jewish tradition, Jewish ancestry is traced back to the Biblical patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who lived in Canaan around the 18th century BCE.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_American

“American Jews, also known as Jewish Americans, are American citizens of the Jewish faith or Jewish ethnicity”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_atheism

“Jewish atheism refers to atheism as practiced by people who are ethnically, and to some extent culturally, Jewish”.

“One recent study found that half of all American Jews have doubts about the existence of God, compared to 10–15% of other American religious groups.”

How can Jews be atheists if being Jewish is just a religion to you? How can Einstein and Sagan be religious Jews when they've both stated they're agnostic and not religious? They either are or they aren't according to you and they've both said they're not, so it's you that's wrong.

Adolf Hitler wanted to exterminate the Jewish race, not the religion. He viewed Jews as racially impure and inferior and wanted to [/b]ethnically[/b] cleanse them. He didn’t want to kill random people who had just converted to Judaism.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_policy_of_Nazi_Germany
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_eugenics


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism

“Anti-Semitism is prejudice, hatred of, or discrimination against Jews as a national, ethnic, religious or racial group”

Here's a quote from Einstein on both his beliefs and the Jewish religion and people:

http://www.theguardian.com/science/2008/may/12/peopleinscience.religion

“In the letter, he [Einstein] states: "The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this."

Einstein, who was Jewish and who declined an offer to be the state of Israel's second president, also rejected the idea that the Jews are God's favoured people.
"For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them."

If you continue to argue against this after the above then you're an infinite moron or a pathetic troll. What this has to do with my original argument just goes to show how much you derail the topic with redundancies and irrelevancies in order to escape disproving my actual points.

there is nothing to rephrase there are some mistakes but as a whole the comment is clear, you Quote Sagan and Einstein and then you try and explain what they are saying putting words on their mouth and transforming the whole perspective and meaning of the quote. Not only but the quotes you used only proves my argument as explained, Sagan him self said he is an Egnostic and this is I'm sure something I said my self, and I said he is an Egnostic Theist, because he never denied GOD, and consider Atheism to be stupid. (see no opinions here only facts).

I find this absolutely astonishing. It's very often not clear what you mean but it is also very clear that you have a hard time comprehending anything I say or are just unwilling to process and accept facts that don't support your arguments, but it's you that has put words in their mouth and taken what they said out of context to  'transform the whole perspective and meaning of the quote' to suit your case. You might be making sense in your own dense head but I guarantee you're not to anybody else. I already provided you with a quote from Sagan himself giving you his explanation of what Einstein meant by Spinoza's god. Has he got it wrong too? Please provide me with a source where Sagan said he is a theist. Theism is the belief that at least one god exists. Well Sagan didn't believe that. Prove to me with sources where he did. This is your opinion yet again. How does him saying atheism is stupid make him a believer or religious? I've explained the meaning of the full quote which you have taken out of context. Why do you ignore the first part of it and just latch on to the last atheism is stupid bit. And saying atheism is stupid proves what exactly? Nothing. The full quote proves his agnosticism. Not denying god does not make you a believer. Agnosticism is admitting you don't know which Sagan was happy to admit, so how can you include him on a list of so called prominent religious people?

Listen to this 7 minute video which is a perfect example of Einstein on God and Spinoza with explanations of the correct context: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEK6WtHxNfw (not that you'll be able to comprehend or understand it).

The existence of only one proficient scientist proves my point (that there exist religious people that are as intelligent is not more intelligent than their atheist counterpart but I presented a list of people that changed our world and our understanding of science as a whole I also stated another fact is more than half of the most proficient scientist right now are religious. So not only you are nitpicking you are avoiding at all cost to talk about the rest of the list.

You seem to keep making an argument for something I never questioned or was arguing about. I  don't understand why you keep going back to the rest of the list when it's irrelevant and not the point here; the three I mentioned are the point of discussion, but I guess you haven't got anything else, right? My argument isn’t and never was about the rest of the list or that there aren't intelligent people who are believers in a religion. I never said that. You can still be intelligent and make contributions to science but also have stupid beliefs. Newton believed in alchemy for example. You keep saying it's a fact that more than 50% of scientists are religious, but where's the source for this? I've never heard that. It's not a fact until you can back it up, but again if 50% are then 50% aren’t. I must say though, I find it ironic your list is full of ancient philosophers and old dead scientists and pretty much the only modern day ones on there are the three I've proved shouldn’t be there at all. Most people believed in Christianity back in the old days as well (usually under the punishment of death if they didn't) especially when modern science was still developing and people were first formulating their theories and we didn’t know then what we do now, but you'd be hard pressed to find many modern day pioneers of science who are big believers, especially not 50% of prominent scientists. Most religious people tend to be idiots like yourself, but yeah, you occasionally get some intelligent ones.

Please, if you want to continue this discussion start a thread in the politics section quoting these post and we'll take if from there, but there's no point if you're just going to keep touting your incorrect opinions as facts without a single shred of evidence to back them up.

Tl;dr Einstein, Sagan and Hawkin are not religious. End of.

I've got better and more pressing things to do than argue with a blind-sighted fool in continual denial who is impervious to facts or reason and can't construct an intelligible point or argument, so I'll refute your (non-)arguments when I've got time, but the duration it takes me to respond to your nonsense is a petty and puerile matter. Why don't you take a couple of days to comprehend what I'm saying and do some research or, you know, actually make a valid point or argument? You've yet again provided nothing satisfactory or refuted any of my points with any facts at all; just incorrect opinion. Seriously, you're either really no good at comprehending or processing the information and facts I've given you or you're stupidly in denial and doing your best to avoid answering my questions.

1) You haven't clearly done anything and it's opinionated because you haven't provided any evidence of your argument other than your own opinion which has been based on your misunderstanding of quotes that you've not understood the meaning or context of. You said Einstein's work was religious in nature but where is your proof? And listen to what I've got to say now: My argument is not and was never to disprove the entire list of scientists and philosophers you gave, my point was you included three ones that weren’t in any way religious. Do you understand that? You need to drop thinking that you're somehow onto a winning argument here. You're asking me to prove a square is a circle. I never said they were. If you cannot comprehend this then there's no point continuing. Your only argument here seems to be a point I never made. And I proved that not one or two but all three of the people I initially pointed out are not religious, but it's becoming clear nothing will convince you otherwise.

2) Ah, so you're an anti-semite? Again, this is your misinformed opinion. Saying Jews aren’t an ethnicity is absolutely moronic and there's a difference between the people and religion whether you think it or not. Again, your opinion is wrong. Anybody can join the Jewish faith, but it doesn't give you Jewish heritage or ancestry. How can Sagan be Jewish? How can Woody Allen or Sasha Baron Cohen be Jewish and also Atheists? Or are they not to you? Maybe all their work is inspired by god too? Do some reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_ethnic_divisions. Jews are Hebrews and originated from Israel and surrounding areas, but have since spread throughout the world like most ethnicities.

3) Little of that makes any sense so if you care to rephrase it I'll have a go at deciphering your point, but your opinion of Sagan is wrong, just like everything else. He wasn't a theist. Where have I quoted that? Please read and process the information of what I've said in my previous message.

4) Seriously, is that the only argument you've got here? You are trying to win an argument based on a point I'm not making. I've proved without doubt the three are not religious with quotes from all of them but you disregard these. You have not read any of their works at all. Read them then get back to me. Your insistence on still trying to say that Hawking’s religiosity is debatable or 'disputable' is laughable, but it's clear your denial is not going to let you drop this. If you can't disprove the points I've made above in my previous message and just want me to try prove to you that squares are circles then there's really no point continuing this, but I will continue to answer you points in my own time if you so wish to do so, but answering the same unsourced and unfounded crap is a little boring.


Better things to do? rest assured I've had a look on your comment history at the time before I advanced such a thing, I'm not stupid, I verified because you might have been absent, or busy, but it wasn't the case either way, your comment history for the last 2 days speaks for it self this is a FACT.

1- Again which opinion you are talking about? I don't recall my self giving my opinion on something, I reported scientific, and quotes from the person them selves I didn't advance anything from there, unlike you, I've pointed out each time you advanced something on your own. Shall I quote each time you've done this and list it below just to prove this once and for all?

Also it's funny how now you've changed your reply from your list is fud (and I can quote you denying it) to there are people in that list that aren't religious? wasn't the whole argument here, that religion makes people stupid? and only stupid people follow religion? so the existence of such list that you cannot denies and one which you focus on one or two person to try discredited is a proof on it self that not only you are wrong, but your whole argumentation is unwholesome.

As for the rest of you argument, there are people that claim to be things they aren't to benefit them selves, I saw people claiming to be Muslims to get feed during Ramadan for free or to get help from Muslim organization, I saw some other doing the same thing, to get free housing from Catholic organizations and help, I saw some claiming to be Jew, to get financial help for their business, this is a fact as well, I'm talking about people who believes and call them selfs Jew for a reason, and during the Einstein era, being a Jew in Austria and Germany was not an advantage in fact it was the total opposite sadly yet he always presented him self as a Jew (I'm not going to talk about the cruel things that Jews, gays and ethnicities (It wasn't only Jews for reference) suffered during the Nazi era and how those atrocities are horrible and makes sad that's a whole other debate).

3- there is nothing to rephrase there are some mistakes but as a whole the comment is clear, you Quote Sagan and Einstein and then you try and explain what they are saying putting words on their mouth and transforming the whole perspective and meaning of the quote. Not only but the quotes you used only proves my argument as explained, Sagan him self said he is an Egnostic and this is I'm sure something I said my self, and I said he is an Egnostic Theist, because he never denied GOD, and consider Atheism to be stupid. (see no opinions here only facts).

4- Only argument I have ? just a little reminder and to put things into perspective shall we :
Original claim was : "people that follow religion are stupid, only stupid people follow religion, religion is the source of many problems"
My original answer was : It's the religion fault but peoples stupidity that makes do stupid things, around half of the world most proficient scientist are religions, and I listed presenting a dozen of scientist that changed our world.

Yet you've claimed that what I said is FUD because there is one or two scientist that are not religious how is this even an argumentation, not only you cannot prove the list is fake/wrong/false which you are avoiding here, but you are trying to discredit by focusing on one or two scientist, that didn't say clearly, I'm Christian for example end of story (like the others did, they had a clear stance)  like I told you whole argumentation is malsain
The existence of only one proficient scientist proves my point (that there exist religious people that are as intelligent is not more intelligent than their atheist counterpart but I presented a list of people that changed our world and our understanding of science as a whole I also stated another fact is more than half of the most proficient scientist right now are religious. So not only you are nitpicking you are avoiding at all cost to talk about the rest of the list.

Yes, but technology is not foolproof and all-knowing and omnipresent; accidents happen and people make mistakes. Human error is a factor in most accidents.
Indeed it is not, and never said it is, what I'm saying despite all the available means of collaboration, they are not using them and still posting contradicting and misleading informations.

No, this is actually just FUD spread by Christians to try make some of their claims valid, when it's actually lies.

Einstein being a Jew is irrelevant. Where is his work religious in inspiration? "Albert Einstein's religious views have been studied extensively. He said he believed in the "pantheistic" God of Baruch Spinoza, but not in a personal god, a belief he criticized. He also called himself an agnostic, while disassociating himself from the label atheist, preferring, he said, "an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Albert_Einstein

Carl Sagan was essentially an agnostic but against religion. Do some research. You might want to read his The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God book.

And I have literally no idea what you just said about Hawking, but he's probably the most atheistic of them all, regardless of whether he comes out and point blank says 'There is no God', but clearly you haven't read his book The Grand Design ( I recommend you do): http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/7979211/Has-Stephen-Hawking-ended-the-God-debate.html

So please stop trying to claim prominent scientists as your own to further give any credence to childish myths.

1) FUD ? What are you talking about, I didn't get some opinioned post like you did here, I got facts and clear quotes from the people here
2) Being a Jew is not relevant? this claim is plainly stupid do you even read what are you saying here ? and just another fact since you say that 3) Einstein believes in Spinozas God isn't that God, The God and not many? as in the main 3 religions where non of them says that God is human? and where is his work religious is inspiration? you don't see two of the most well known example in modern science I've mentioned? if you don't understand those just ask for explanation but don't go in denial as if I didn't back up what I said with know facts

4) Carl Sagan against religion? he was during much of his life an Agnostic THEIST, if he wasn't why would he say "Atheism is stupid." and other quotes that you are just plainly ignoring it again obviously because you can't argue against it.

My comment on Hawking is clear you can read and reread it, also claiming I didn't read a book is a proof on it self on how you make your own thing and believes it but does that makes a fact NO it does not.

5) And as I said in my previous comment that you did quote if you want me to remove Hawkins from that list, as he did NOT start a clear stance about it I have no problem with that, but on the other hand how come you are just plainly ignoring the dozen of prominent scientist I mentioned, and focusing on one of them only, see where again you self denial kicks in and you just ignore as proven above again what was written
Quote
So please stop trying to claim prominent scientists as your own to further give any credence to childish myths.
for reference lol.

You're actually wrong on every single point you've tried to make.

1) I find this very ironic. Your post is both highly opinionated, incorrect and is fud because you claimed those scientists to be religious when in fact they're nothing of the sort and the ones I pointed out are either atheist or agnostic, hence FUD which you continue to try spread. You didn't get any clear quotes and aren’t dealing in any facts at all but just misinformed opinion and assumption.

2) Clearly you don't know the difference between an ethnic Jew and the religion. Sagan was a Jew. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_atheism

3) No. You're getting confused just because it has the word god there. Clearly you're not familiar with Spinoza's 'God'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinozism God is not literally meant as a god just like in the phrase 'God doesn't play dice with the world'. God in this sense means nature / physical laws, not a person or being. You clearly have trouble dealing with literal and figurative meanings (as do most religious people) and you still haven’t provided me with anything that alludes to Sagan being a theist (which he wasn't).  He was actually a non-theist, but maybe you got confused there. I also still don't understand how you just saying Einstein's work on light & general relativity is religious in nature, especially with nothing to back it up but your opinion, so no, it's not clear. Please elaborate.

A quote from Sagan on Einstein and Spinoza's god:

 "Some people think God is an outsized, light-skinned male with a long white beard, sitting on a throne somewhere up there in the sky, busily tallying the fall of every sparrow. Others—for example Baruch Spinoza and Albert Einstein—considered God to be essentially the sum total of the physical laws which describe the universe. I do not know of any compelling evidence for anthropomorphic patriarchs controlling human destiny from some hidden celestial vantage point, but it would be madness to deny the existence of physical laws."

A quote from Einstein:

“I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being.”

4) Again, you are taking the 'atheism is stupid' quote out of context and misunderstanding its true meaning / intent. The full quote:

"An atheist has to know a lot more than I know. An atheist is someone who knows there is no god. By some definitions atheism is very stupid."

He says atheism is stupid because according to him one cannot possibly know whether there is or isn’t a god. Charles Darwin also disliked the term atheist and didn't claim to be one. Are you going to try claim him as a prominent religious scientist now?

If you read Sagan's works (clearly you haven't), whilst he never came out publicly and said he was an atheist, he was not a believer in religion or god, but to me he seems to be more of an atheistic agnostic, but if you watch this video from his lifelong friend James Randi he gives you an answer why Sagan never came out and said he was a full blown atheist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hqkxo9gXzA

5) You provided a list of allegedly religious people and I knew instantly three of them were not. I've already proved that they were not religious and essentially non-religious, yet you still seem to think they are based on nothing but your own desires and misinformed understanding. My argument wasn't everybody on that list but the three, so the rest are irrelevant to this. You really seem to go on the defensive attack and project your denial on to other people here. I really don't understand what I'm meant to be in denial about as I've backed up my points and you've either failed to provide any proof or continually taken yours out of context or misunderstood them completely, not to mention just making stuff up just to suit your argument.



Took you 2-3 days to comes with a reply hmm. sure

1-How my post is opinioned when I've clearly posted, what the scientist said and did, the scientists I listed are not religious? but I don't see you challenging that, the only ones you are talking about of the dozen I mentioned is one or two, how come? this on it own is a prove and an admitting from your side that those relevant scientist that changed the world are indeed religious.

2- there is no such thing as a ethnic Jew, and the prove, is that Jews are from everywhere in the world and that anyone can become a jew like with any other religion, Jewish is a religion, and some Zionists wants to make it or make it look as an ethnicity as it serves their interest. so no you are totally wrong again

3- Both your quote do not contradict in any mean what I said, I clearly said that Sagan is an Agnostic THEIST and you've quoted that, as for Spinoza I've read that before I commented on the matter, it is GOD, I do not believe god is a Person or a Being, as God creats persons and beings You can find this notion clearly said in Islam, Judaism, the only religion that partially assimilated God to human is Christianity and even whiting Christianity and it branches it is a very discussed point.
Also stop giving your own explication on other people quote, especially when they are clear, that's opinioning the words (see what I'm talking about here)

4- You didn't prove that 3 of them were not, One of them was disputable, and I removed him, the other two are not, not rather than trying to avoid the matter and derail, how about proving the others were not religious go ahead I want to see you trying.


I've got better and more pressing things to do than argue with a blind-sighted fool in continual denial who is impervious to facts or reason and can't construct an intelligible point or argument, so I'll refute your (non-)arguments when I've got time, but the duration it takes me to respond to your nonsense is a petty and puerile matter. Why don't you take a couple of days to comprehend what I'm saying and do some research or, you know, actually make a valid point or argument? You've yet again provided nothing satisfactory or refuted any of my points with any facts at all; just incorrect opinion. Seriously, you're either really no good at comprehending or processing the information and facts I've given you or you're stupidly in denial and doing your best to avoid answering my questions.

1) You haven't clearly done anything and it's opinionated because you haven't provided any evidence of your argument other than your own opinion which has been based on your misunderstanding of quotes that you've not understood the meaning or context of. You said Einstein's work was religious in nature but where is your proof? And listen to what I've got to say now: My argument is not and was never to disprove the entire list of scientists and philosophers you gave, my point was you included three ones that weren’t in any way religious. Do you understand that? You need to drop thinking that you're somehow onto a winning argument here. You're asking me to prove a square is a circle. I never said they were. If you cannot comprehend this then there's no point continuing. Your only argument here seems to be a point I never made. And I proved that not one or two but all three of the people I initially pointed out are not religious, but it's becoming clear nothing will convince you otherwise.

2) Ah, so you're an anti-semite? Again, this is your misinformed opinion. Saying Jews aren’t an ethnicity is absolutely moronic and there's a difference between the people and religion whether you think it or not. Again, your opinion is wrong. Anybody can join the Jewish faith, but it doesn't give you Jewish heritage or ancestry. How can Sagan be Jewish? How can Woody Allen or Sasha Baron Cohen be Jewish and also Atheists? Or are they not to you? Maybe all their work is inspired by god too? Do some reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_ethnic_divisions. Jews are Hebrews and originated from Israel and surrounding areas, but have since spread throughout the world like most ethnicities.

3) Little of that makes any sense so if you care to rephrase it I'll have a go at deciphering your point, but your opinion of Sagan is wrong, just like everything else. He wasn't a theist. Where have I quoted that? Please read and process the information of what I've said in my previous message.

4) Seriously, is that the only argument you've got here? You are trying to win an argument based on a point I'm not making. I've proved without doubt the three are not religious with quotes from all of them but you disregard these. You have not read any of their works at all. Read them then get back to me. Your insistence on still trying to say that Hawking’s religiosity is debatable or 'disputable' is laughable, but it's clear your denial is not going to let you drop this. If you can't disprove the points I've made above in my previous message and just want me to try prove to you that squares are circles then there's really no point continuing this, but I will continue to answer you points in my own time if you so wish to do so, but answering the same unsourced and unfounded crap is a little boring.


In this day and age such thing should be inadmissible, means of communication are available, technological resources as well all they need to do is work together and set milestones, also I don't understand why china was disregarded in this matter, instead of waving their epeens on geopolitical matters, people should work together to solve this problem especially in the beginning where there was a chance of survivors, it is really outraging that in this day and age we still such attitudes

Yes, but technology is not foolproof and all-knowing and omnipresent; accidents happen and people make mistakes. Human error is a factor in most accidents.

No, this is actually just FUD spread by Christians to try make some of their claims valid, when it's actually lies.

Einstein being a Jew is irrelevant. Where is his work religious in inspiration? "Albert Einstein's religious views have been studied extensively. He said he believed in the "pantheistic" God of Baruch Spinoza, but not in a personal god, a belief he criticized. He also called himself an agnostic, while disassociating himself from the label atheist, preferring, he said, "an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Albert_Einstein

Carl Sagan was essentially an agnostic but against religion. Do some research. You might want to read his The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God book.

And I have literally no idea what you just said about Hawking, but he's probably the most atheistic of them all, regardless of whether he comes out and point blank says 'There is no God', but clearly you haven't read his book The Grand Design ( I recommend you do): http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/7979211/Has-Stephen-Hawking-ended-the-God-debate.html

So please stop trying to claim prominent scientists as your own to further give any credence to childish myths.

1) FUD ? What are you talking about, I didn't get some opinioned post like you did here, I got facts and clear quotes from the people here
2) Being a Jew is not relevant? this claim is plainly stupid do you even read what are you saying here ? and just another fact since you say that 3) Einstein believes in Spinozas God isn't that God, The God and not many? as in the main 3 religions where non of them says that God is human? and where is his work religious is inspiration? you don't see two of the most well known example in modern science I've mentioned? if you don't understand those just ask for explanation but don't go in denial as if I didn't back up what I said with know facts

4) Carl Sagan against religion? he was during much of his life an Agnostic THEIST, if he wasn't why would he say "Atheism is stupid." and other quotes that you are just plainly ignoring it again obviously because you can't argue against it.

My comment on Hawking is clear you can read and reread it, also claiming I didn't read a book is a proof on it self on how you make your own thing and believes it but does that makes a fact NO it does not.

5) And as I said in my previous comment that you did quote if you want me to remove Hawkins from that list, as he did NOT start a clear stance about it I have no problem with that, but on the other hand how come you are just plainly ignoring the dozen of prominent scientist I mentioned, and focusing on one of them only, see where again you self denial kicks in and you just ignore as proven above again what was written

for reference lol.

You're actually wrong on every single point you've tried to make.

1) I find this very ironic. Your post is both highly opinionated, incorrect and is fud because you claimed those scientists to be religious when in fact they're nothing of the sort and the ones I pointed out are either atheist or agnostic, hence FUD which you continue to try spread. You didn't get any clear quotes and aren’t dealing in any facts at all but just misinformed opinion and assumption.

2) Clearly you don't know the difference between an ethnic Jew and the religion. Sagan was a Jew. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_atheism

3) No. You're getting confused just because it has the word god there. Clearly you're not familiar with Spinoza's 'God'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinozism God is not literally meant as a god just like in the phrase 'God doesn't play dice with the world'. God in this sense means nature / physical laws, not a person or being. You clearly have trouble dealing with literal and figurative meanings (as do most religious people) and you still haven’t provided me with anything that alludes to Sagan being a theist (which he wasn't).  He was actually a non-theist, but maybe you got confused there. I also still don't understand how you just saying Einstein's work on light & general relativity is religious in nature, especially with nothing to back it up but your opinion, so no, it's not clear. Please elaborate.

A quote from Sagan on Einstein and Spinoza's god:

 "Some people think God is an outsized, light-skinned male with a long white beard, sitting on a throne somewhere up there in the sky, busily tallying the fall of every sparrow. Others—for example Baruch Spinoza and Albert Einstein—considered God to be essentially the sum total of the physical laws which describe the universe. I do not know of any compelling evidence for anthropomorphic patriarchs controlling human destiny from some hidden celestial vantage point, but it would be madness to deny the existence of physical laws."

A quote from Einstein:

“I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being.”

Jurisdiction rules so that one nation or the other will work on the recovery / investigation.

Typical in a number of investigations like this.

Examples:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_Air_Flight_1285 (Canadian Soil)


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swissair_Flight_111

Quote
The initial search and rescue response, crash recovery operation, and resulting investigation by the Government of Canada took over four years and cost CAD 57 million (at that time approximately USD 38 million).[3] The Transportation Safety Board of Canada's (TSB) official report of their investigation stated that flammable material used in the aircraft's structure allowed a fire to spread beyond the control of the crew, resulting in a loss of control and the crash of the aircraft.[4]

Expensive it is.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_447

Quote
While the Brazilian Navy removed the first major wreckage and two bodies from the sea within five days of the accident, the BEA's (Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses pour la Sécurité de l'Aviation Civile) initial investigation was hampered because the aircraft's black boxes were not recovered from the ocean floor until May 2011, nearly two years later.[1][3]

Underwater search
On 5 June 2009, the French nuclear submarine Émeraude was dispatched to the crash zone, arriving in the area on the 10th. Its mission was to assist in the search for the missing flight recorders or "black-boxes" which might be located at great depth.[95] The submarine would use its sonar to listen for the ultrasonic signal emitted by the black boxes' "pingers",[96] covering 13 sq mi (34 km2) a day. The Émeraude was to work with the mini-sub Nautile, which can descend to the ocean floor. The French submarines would be aided by two U.S. underwater audio devices capable of picking up signals at a depth of 20,000 ft (6,100 m).[97]

http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20070226-0
Code:
Narrative:

The accident occurred during engine start after pushback from the stand.
After the right generator came online an electrical failure occurred in the
right main bus. The failure resulted in severe internal arcing and short circuits
inside the two main power contactors of the right main bus. The heat generated
during the failure resulted in the contactor casings becoming compromised,
causing molten metal droplets to fall down onto the insulation blankets below.
The insulation blankets ignited and a fire spread underneath a floor panel to
the opposite electrical panel (P205), causing heat and fire damage to structure,
cooling ducts and wiring. The flight crew responded to the bus failure and a
burning smell by shutting down the right engine and taxiing to a nearby stand.
The Airfield Fire Service attended the aircraft when it arrived on stand and
entered the Main Equipment Centre where they discovered significant smoke
but no fire. The passengers were evacuated uneventfully via steps.

CAUSAL FACTORS:

1. An internal failure of the Right Generator Circuit Breaker or Right Bus Tie Breaker
contactor on the P200 power panel inside the Main Equipment Centre resulted in
severe internal arcing and short-circuits which melted the contactor casings.
The root cause of contactor failure could not be determined.
2. The open base of the P200 power panel allowed molten metal droplets from
the failed contactors to drop down onto the insulation blankets and ignite them.
3. The aircraft’s electrical protection system was not designed to detect and
rapidly remove power from a contactor suffering from severe internal arcing and
short-circuits.
4. The contactors had internal design features that probably contributed to the
uncontained failures.

http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20080117-0

Code:
The investigation identified the following probable causal factors that led to the
fuel flow restrictions:

1) Accreted ice from within the fuel system released, causing a restriction
to the engine fuel flow at the face of the FOHE, on both of the engines.
2) Ice had formed within the fuel system, from water that occurred naturally
in the fuel, whilst the aircraft operated with low fuel flows over a long period
and the localised fuel temperatures were in an area described as the ‘sticky range’.
3) The FOHE, although compliant with the applicable certification requirements,
was shown to be susceptible to restriction when presented with soft ice in a
high concentration, with a fuel temperature that is below -10°C and a fuel flow
above flight idle.
4) Certification requirements, with which the aircraft and engine fuel systems
had to comply, did not take account of this phenomenon as the risk was
unrecognised at that time.

http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20110729-0

Code:
Narrative:

A Boeing 777-266ER, SU-GBP, sustained substantial damage in a cockpit
fire at Cairo International Airport (CAI), Egypt.
The aircraft was preparing for departure at Gate F7, Terminal 3 at Cairo
Airport at the time the crew detected a fire at the right hand lower portion
of the cockpit area, below the number 3 window. The crew and passengers
expeditiously deplaned with no injuries.

Examination of the aircraft determined that the cockpit was extensively damaged,
and two holes were burned through the aircraft external skin just below the First
Officer’s window. In addition, smoke damage occurred throughout the aircraft,
and heat damage was found on overhead structures well aft of the cockpit.
The crew oxygen system has a number of oxygen lines and hoses running
through the area were the fire started. Some of those hoses are electrically
conductive, according to research. The investigators are conducting tests to
determine if a failure involving these hoses could have been the primary cause
of the fire.

Currently, the Boeing Company, in coordination with the investigation and the
Federal Aviation Administration of the United States, is working to develop
mitigation strategies that are designed to eliminate this potential source of
fire in the cockpit. Boeing is working to finalize a Service Bulletin that is
designed to inspect for and eliminate potential electrical faults around the
crew oxygen system lines and hoses. In addition, Boeing is developing plans
to replace the current crew oxygen system hoses with new, non-conductive
hoses and is evaluating the benefits to providing additional electrical grounding
points for crew oxygen system components.

CONCLUSIONS:

Examination of the aircraft revealed that the fire originated near the first officer's
oxygen mask supply tubing, which is located underneath the side console below
the no. 3 right hand flight deck window. Oxygen from the flight crew oxygen system
is suspected to have contributed to the fire's intensity and speed.
The cause of the fire could not be conclusively determined. It is not yet known
whether the oxygen system breach occurred first, providing a flammable environment
or whether the oxygen system breach occurred as a result of the fire.

Accident could be related to the following probable causes:

1. Electrical fault or short circuit resulted in electrical heating of flexible hoses in the flight
crew oxygen system. (Electrical Short Circuits: contact between aircraft wiring and oxygen
system components may be possible if multiple wire clamps are missing or fractured or if
wires are incorrectly installed).
2. Exposure to Electrical Current

The pilot did say 'Good night' before end of communication.

The flight departed from .. and was last plotted heading northwest towards another waypoint called IGREX.[27][28][29]

So far, the sources for that appear to be hearsay by anonymous sources, but if confirmed, I'll drop my fire theory.

At this point, suicide may be your fallback… and I can't argue it except to say its a really strange way to commit suicide, disabling communications and having to directly kill your friend copilot or somehow get him out of the cockpit so you can go on a joyride into the Indian ocean?    All of the research they seem to have done on the pilots doesn't seem to indicate either had a reason to commit suicide.

Dual suicide pact?  hard to believe.

Dual suicide seems far fetched indeed, but its not very hard to come up with theories explaining a single suicide; while the captain or copilot is out of the cockpit (they go to the bathroom too you know), close the reinforced cabin door and depressurize the plane. ~15 minutes later you have a silent plane. As for why it would be a strange way, I disagree. In fact, its probably how I would do it if I was to take my own life and had no quarrels taking 200 innocents with me. Vanish and turn your cowardly act in to a possibly unsolvable mystery. I would find that more appealing that the thought that my children and family would view me as a murderer and coward.

As for the reason, one can of course only guess, but IIRC the captain's wife was divorcing him and she was moving out of the house that very day. He also had problems in his extramarital affair and apparently received a phone call from some woman minutes before the flight. His own daughter claimed the captain acted strangely and distant (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/malaysia-airlines-flight-mh370-pilot-3303379) in the month leading up to the crash. There is this dogma on talking about pilot's suicide, but its happened before and it seems unthinkable no pilot will ever do it again:

There are a number of documented cases that could be viable that the pilot was 'off their meds' or "a tad squirrely" and was contemplating suicide.

Flight Engineer Auburn Calloway knew his career was about to end. His employer, Federal Express, had recently uncovered a series of irregularities and outright falsifications in both his original employment application and in hundreds of hours of flight records. He was ordered to appear at a disciplinary hearing in the second week of April, 1994. He understood that the likeliest outcome of such a hearing would be his termination, and subsequently the loss of his FAA flight certification.

His solution was as simple as it was horrifying. He would provide for his family financially, end his own life, and in the process he would punish FedEx in the worst way imaginable.

I would still lean to some sort of mechanical failure / decompression / fire scenario first given that has happened more often than the suicide pilot incidents. Just the numbers make it more likely it was mechanical.

The pilot making the first turn doesn't invalidate anything, its the additional turn(s) after that initial turn that make no sense to me.

Whats your source for these turns? AFAIK, nothing is known with any degree of certainty about the flight path after the transponder was shut down. Now Ive not followed this all that closely, so perhaps I missed it, but afaik, there have been a few unidentified radar contacts at the extreme end of radar range which may or may not have been flight 370, but what Ive seen so far is sketchy at best. If there is or will surface more convincing evidence that the plane made several turns hours after disappearing from radar, Ill gladly drop the fire/smoke theory, and revert to my original one: pilot suicide. In fact Ill entertain any other theories as well, as long as they are at least plausible, and some "men behind the curtains" covert plot to kill a few run of the mill ARM SoC engineers to obtain patent rights on some utterly trivial 'invention' those engineers did not even posses, is not among them.

Let's think about this for a second. Military radar blips happened after that initial turn, if you plot those points, I come to the conclusion that  turns had to be made, not slightly erratic. Not to mention the sharp turn into the Indian Ocean that the people investigating are acting like happened.  It sounds like your just acting like we need to ignore those because of the whole unrealiability factor of military radar?  which I think is a little odd, but I will comply because I am not familiar with military radar.

To be clear, I was dismissing the altitude readings from radar returns, as they are notoriously unreliable, particularly at long range, so the story that the plane climbed above 45000 or whatever foot is anything but certain.  Positioning is of course quite accurate although all kinds of things can give false unidentified returns, from flocks of birds to thermals to whatever other plane.  Ive not seen anything that looks like a radar track, showing a plane flying at normal cruising speed (which kinda rules out birds or thermals) but as mentioned above, if that does exist and is reasonably certain to be from flight 370, I agree, then the plane must have been under control by a pilot.

The flight departed from Kuala Lumpur International Airport on 8 March 2014 at 00:41 local time (16:41 UTC, 7 March) and was scheduled to land at Beijing Capital International Airport at 06:30 local time (22:30 UTC, 7 March). It climbed to its assigned cruise altitude of 35,000 feet (11,000 m) and was travelling at 471 knots (872 km/h; 542 mph)[25] true airspeed when it ceased all communications and the transponder signal was lost. The aircraft's last known position on 8 March at 01:21 local time (17:21 UTC, 7 March) was at the navigational waypoint IGARI in the Gulf of Thailand, at which the aircraft turned westwards, heading towards a waypoint called VAMPI in the Strait of Malacca,[26] primary radar tracking suggests that the aircraft descended as low as 12,000 feet (3,700 m). From there, the aircraft flew towards a waypoint called GIVAL, arriving at 2:15 local time (18:15 UTC, 7 March), thereafter to the Southern Thailand Islands (Andaman Coast) of Phuket, and was last plotted heading northwest towards another waypoint called IGREX.[27][28][29]
