    So we should expect to see all the elements in your body randomly change into other elements right?

    Considering that we know exactly what position every major object in the sky will be at any time, any day, and any year going backwards and forwards for thousands of years, that is clearly 'largely' predictable.

    No there isn't. The other tribes are on neighbouring islands, not theirs. And their island is only about 50 square kilometres. Not big at all.

    But you may be right, in that they know that outsiders bring sickness. That's probably why they bury them on the beaches .. to keep the bodies at a distance (and sanitized ... if you will ... by salt and sea) from villages and food supplies.

    There is only one way to look at it, and it's way past sad, at that.

    "Well prepared" for what? Genocide? And these people who encouraged him to carry out his act of evil? Equally guilty.

    He didn't die doing a 'stupid' thing, he died doing an evil thing. An act of pure vanity and arrogance, without even the tiniest regard for the very real risk of total annihilation of a very important group of innocent people. It was all about him and his faith ego and bigotry.

    Let's hope his name is long remembered, up there with Hitler and Stalin, et al.

    I see that instead of admitting you were wrong you complained to the higher powers in this forum and got my post deleted. So let's try again . Here is what you wrote: "concluding this glowing mass of energy was revolving around the earth. that was accepted as unimpeachable fact, so much so that contradicting it would land you in jail, as coppernicus and gallileo found out"

    Now explain the reason for Galileo being imprisoned by your religious group?

    some things are predictable. many more are not, particularly those we don’t know we don’t know. we know a lot about the natural world but then again that constitutes the head of a pin in the pantheon of what is knowable. millenia into scientific exploration and we are still discovering new physical phenomena, new species, new understandings about weather, etc..
