Yes. This planet. I know an architect designed this house I live in, not because I saw him do it but because this house exists. I know the architect exists for the same reason. My observable evidence that God exists? This planet and everything in it. The complexity that no accident has ever...

I agree it is one of the most cut-throat things besides telling people who you voted for. I am quite aware Science involves more than 'faith' (until you get into electricity, Green Buffalo? Never mind...). You argue He doesn't exist. I argue He does. If you are hinting He should be in a History...

If Christianity is true, it has every right to be in a classroom. If it were to be untrue and proven to be untrue (which it is not, but hypothetically), it has every right to belong in a History class. If Christianity were untrue but not yet proven it would belong in a classroom of Science (to...

You just did. Actually, the potential for human wisdom is something quite amazing. And it is true: the most faithful can and probably have been at some point of their lives a little unfaithful. Otherwise would be like saying humans are perfect. Unless of course, the quote goes to prove...

Sorry I've been gone for a while. I had a 10 day free WoW trial, so... If Science is the study of our universe, then an explanation into the being of the universe and life is part of Science. Since Creation is an idea of the creation of the universe and life (as is Big Bang and Evolution) it is...

I invite you, Luduan, to read the rest of my discussion with others here above. As for point 1: You are right. On this premise alone the universe could have arisen spontaneously. What I have said is that with it had to have come time. Point 2: The argument does not support a particular deity...

My p2 was my first conclusion (pointing out how today can never be reached if there are an infinite number of days before today) but your point c. is what I was playing off of. You just said it... like... better than me... or something... Anyway, yes. There is no first day if time extends...

This "halfway point" is largely the opposite of what I am saying. Let me try again. The "halfway point" assumes you are measuring distance with a tool capable of 1/(infinity) precision. In essence, in that "paradox", you are forcing the runner of a race to measure with preciseness his position...

As I read this thread, I saw discussion on a confusing topic. For the record, allow me to clarify, and logically prove, something: God is not ruled by time. Time: A measurement of the passing of events (as miles are to displacement) There are two possibilities about time: it had a beginning or...

I shouldn't worry about Damp. Only four PKMN can have it: Golduck, Politoed, Poliwrath, and Quagsire. If I even see the first three, Azelf can T-Punch 'em. And as for Quagsire, I'll just attack him. And Imprison? That's only if they outrun me...

Don't switch Dusknoir with Meganium or Bellossom. If you do you'll get rid of your only good Water/Fire counter. With the exception of Dusknoir and Togekiss, your team is weak to an opponent who sends out a Fire and a Water type (and if their Water type is also part-Flying like Gyarados, you...

Hold on... According to Smogon's entry of Slow Start (http://www.smogon.com/dp/abilities/slow_start), unless I understand "to unnerf" wrong (first time I've seen it...) Skill Swap should do the trick along with Gastro Acid. Sorry Absol Lover on the lack of EV help... But props for choosing...

I wait for inspiration. I read battles, strategies, and other people's ideas, and sooner or later something will hit me. That will be my team's focus. As for building it, I choose moves and abilities that go well with the strategies. Items come later to support the finished result (with a few...

I'm not one to give EV distributions, just wanted to say it looks good. I drew your team up in a diagram and it has a lot of synergy. You effectively do this by repeating the Explosion strategy. Also, you prevent the opponent from exploiting this repetition by relying on other strategies...

My team and a potentially good one Two ideas. First off... My lead-in to doubles. Lucario (F) @ Salac Berry Ability: Inner Focus EVs: 252 ATK/252 SPD/6 SAT Naive nature (+SPD, -DEF) - Endure - Reversal - Flash Cannon - Drain Punch Azelf @ Life Orb Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 ATK/252 SPD/6...

I'm avoiding that pitfall several ways: An attack the foe uses is lowercased (if it's not the beginning of the sentence) and is only used in sentences in the proper context. At first, the attacking stat ([S]Atk) is called [S]Atk Stat, then transitions to [S]Atk, so that anytime the reader sees...

@ Counterpower: I'm going to group Defense and Special Defense in one category, mainly called [S]Def. Thus, I just need one that says something about it resisting the opponent's attacks.

@ eric the espeon: I already have the damage formula. @ scorchedsky: Kinda. I'm trying to prove that it's sometimes better to increase HTP over [S]Def and vice versa, not when it is. I'll look into the guide, though.

Here's The New Verdict/Edict/Whatever... Wow... Responses when you're gone at school can pile up... OK, guys, thanks for all your help. Yes, I checked and I can get formal help, so here it is... Basically, I had once read that in general, Hit Points is a better option than defensive stats when...

@ Tytus: I thought about that, but here are two reasons I don't want to use it. First off, the definitions are sometimes unpractical. Look at this one, taken from Level: "Levels are used in many of the Pokémon RPGs as a measurement of how strong a Pokémon currently is. It is determined by how...
