I’m just yanking your chain. Sorry, doesn’t happen that way by a long shot. But you know what, when you all wake up from your deep-seated sleep, then maybe we can at least stop the politician at the door, if not shut the door on him. Till then here’s another adrenalin rush. The Sheriff of Nottingham otherwise known as Filipe Neri Rodrigues, the Forest Minister. called another meeting of the Goa State Board for Wildlife that has now come to be virtually an annual affair. The August 25 meet, it turned out, was destined to miss out on crucial issues at hand. Last year, at a similar meet, a tiger enclosure for Bondla was shoved into the faces of all those who attended on the day of the meeting itself. This meet was concerned only with the Goa Forest Development’s intent to tie up with Southern River Adventures Sports Pvt. Ltd. Now, anything that happens in Goa is through the back door, or through a window left ajar. Never the front door. Pity the Madhei river The people living in a 15 km stretch of river from Codal on the northern tributary of the Mhadei which joins the eastern tributary coming from Krishnapur and ending at Sonal, will if this plan is followed through, be the next recipients of a whole slew of irritants including roughnecks who will mix the effervescence of booze with the froth of white water rafting. That, of course in the name of tourism and who gives a crap what you and I think. This is how the Sheriff of Nottingham looks at it, and I quote the actual minutes of the meet: “This stretch of river offers stunning scenery, many exciting rapids (approx. 30) and is perhaps the most challenging than any other rafting section in South India. As in Dandeli, the Mhadei section runs through the Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary, though at no point of time will forest be touched enroute to any place. It is only the waters which will be used with both the start (Codal-Derodem bridge) and finish point (Sonal) out of the sanctuary limits.” They said that of the sand dunes, remember; of the beaches, of public access to beaches, of the River Princess (the salvage, that is), of IFFI (International Film Festival of India), of SEZs (Special Economic Zones), of, of ……..; all those were pushed through, delete that, bulldozed over you because they were supposed to be good for you. Look what happened. No dunes, 5-star hotels where depleting beaches stood, an iffy IFFI, a stranded Princess and SEZs entangled in lawsuits. Will Dudhsagar fall? A board member Tribolo D’Souza raised the issue again of freeing the limit on the number (98) of vehicles permitted to take tourists to Dudhsagar falls. I am told he does this as ritualistically as the monsoons falling over the Western Ghats. The limit was rightly imposed to protect the area which is part of the Bhagwan Mahavir National Park. Now, apart from being a pal of a pal of the Sheriff of Nottingham, D’Souza owns taxis and has a restaurant there. What more can I say? In fact, the entire approach to the 4/6 laning of NH4A which was on the agenda, was how should I say, as wanting as the Board’s will to protect wildlife. The ‘Kala’ of money This government has a compulsive obsession with building Ravindra Bhavans and Kala Bhavans. Its stated policy is that these edifices are built when people want them, only then. Since you and I have not gone stark raving mad yet despite all that happens around us, we know that’s not true. And culture vultures we are not. The things we want, we don’t get, garbage clearance being just one in a growing list of To Do’s. For many senior citizens these wishes must have gone into their Bucket List. The government had approved Ravindra Bhavans/mini Kala Bhavans for Sanquelim, Mormugao, Pernem, Mapusa, Canacona and Valpoi. Which means your wish list won’t fructify even into the next decade. Because all your tax bucks are poured like concrete into making Goa a haven for bhavans. The score so far; the Ravindra Bhavan at Curchorem, the Rajiv Gandhi Kala Mandir at Ponda and the Ravindra Bhavan at Margao have been constructed. The Ravindra Bhavan at Sanquelim and the Ravindra Bhavan at Baina in Vasco da Gama and the Ravindra Bhavan on the Verna-Dabolim bypass are under construction. …And it’s

[Goanet] NCP terms Digamber Kamat as father of corruption

Showing the original receipts of the congress, DMello said that the receipts did not have any serial numbers. Comments: Does this hint that siphoning was pre-planned? Were only Youth involved or also Subhash and co? What points to Digamber’s involvement? How is he the father of Corruption? Are Sankalp and Trojan hand in glove? Sankalp gets Cong ticket against Jose if NCP-Cong alliance fails. Trojan gets NCP ticket against Willy. Another aspect is that Government had planned an expenditure of Rs 120 crore on flood relief and restoration. Most of this money was to be spent through PWD, Health and Social Welfare ministries. All these ministers are uncles of corruption if Digamber is the father. Can someone enlighten how this Rs 120 crore were actually spent? Why is BJP indifferent? Or as usual, did Congress use BJP contractors to spend the money? Rajendra
[Goanet] GOA SUDHAROP: Dantas' Magnum Opus /Konkani filmbook release, Tuesday, Sept 21, 4-6pm

One glorious summer morning almost a hundred and twenty years ago today, the great Thomas Alva Edison opened our eyes to the magic of the kinetoscope, and the enchantment of film was born. It was left to the Lumiere brothers to chart the course of cinema four years thence with their path-breaking 'moving pictures', in much the same way that over a century later Konkani film maven Isidore Dantas has documented its history in his own Konkani Cholchitram- literally Konkani moving pictures - or Konkani Filmbook. Since their beginnings in the late 1940s, Konkani films and film songs have dominated the swathe of Konkan culture in south-west India, growing even stronger across the diaspora as the Konkan folk migrated across the globe. Their content, both on celluloid and the printed score has been described variously as lush, folksy, trite, schmaltzy, easy-on-the-eye and ear. Quite possibly true. Jazz never really gained a foothold in Konkani filmdom. Isidore Dantas addresses many of these issues, tracing in detail the rise and fall of Konkani film over the past six decades - starting with Al Jerry Braganza's Mogacho Anvddo (1949), the first Konkani film to appear almost two decades after India's first talking picture Alam Ara in 1931. Whilst to the average filmi-buff Goencar, the content of Konkani film is often dismissed as purely commercial, Mr. Dantas' work demonstrates quite convincingly that in terms of the story-line, moral issues and dramatic content, it was the parent film that quite powerfully shaped the Konkani film song rather than the other way around. His documentation of every minuscule tidbit of trivia that he was able to lay his hands on, quite eloquently demonstrates this. I will not spoil the surprise and gasps of discovery that you will encounter buried deep within Konkani Cholchitram, but suffice to say you will be pleasantly delighted. The late lamented Andrew Greno Viegas commenced documenting our filmi-pop cultural history in his beautiful 50 years of Konkani cinema, which was to be followed by 90 years of Konkani music. I cannot resist mentioning my own successful commencement of Volume 1 of this series Greatest Konkani Song Hits which will eventually cover the whole gamut. Mr. Dantas too has included the rudimentary musical score of 85 songs (from his total of 107), a veritable treasure-trove. Where my work differs from his is in the transcription and arrangement - mine being for performance, whereas his is academic. Inevitably, Mr. Dantas' dissertation leads to a different and enriched perspective of Konkani film, their key role in our sub- culture, and subsequent influence on our second and third-generation diaspora. I grew up abroad in a deeply-steeped Western music culture, where my father (a medical man) performed the violin with an Italian accompanist. The handful of Indian radio stations there played a cross of filmi-geet and devotional songs throughout the week. Yet one evening was indelibly different. Friday nights as I lay deliriously soaking in a hot tub, promptly at 9 pm from hidden speakers throughout the house, emerged the heart-tugging strains of Frank Fernand's score from Amchem Noxib. It was an unforgettable experience. Granted the music was lush, even banal. But it echoed a haunting Latin past, buried images of a land and culture I never knew - literally 'moving pictures' in the windmills of my mind. The same 'moving pictures' that the pioneering Isidore Dantas has so movingly engineered to life. To most Goans, at home or in the diaspora, the golden age of Konkani film, in picture and in song, spanned the 3 decades 1949-1978, starting with Al Jerry's Mogacho Anvddo and poetically ending with Chris Perry's Bhueirantlo Munis. Certainly the music, if not necessarily the story, was unforgettable. Mr. Dantas' documentation of this period is epic - his collection of memorabilia quite startling. Not that his coverage of the following three decades is any less - in total 282 colour-filled pages of 269 photographs covering 31 Konkani celluloid productions, all the way to last year's internationally acclaimed Poltoddcho Munis. If there is any hesitation, perhaps it is that Mr. Dantas' text is entirely in Konkani. But the

I find the dismissive comments below disturbing. And a lack of
understanding of the seriousness of concussions, especially within youth
sports, even more disturbing.
Here is a recent news report:
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE67T2TJ20100830
And here is a link I have passed on to parents over the years in my
field of play:
http://www.cdc.gov/concussion/sports/index.html
I think the experts on Goanet in the above field should address issues
such as this that may affect youth in Goa rather than argue endlessly
about God, Science, Life and other topics that end-up in dysfunctional
threads. Get off the carousel, you guys!!

I agree with Frederick Noronha that this sort of reaction based on

general conclusions.There maybe many other reasons why this one girls

and all games require turning the head .In fact concussion due

He keeps boasting that he is too smart compared to other Goanetters like me, and that he is exercising his great genius in playing a highly intellectual game that we cannot figure out. The truth of course is exactly the opposite. Already all of his earlier braggadocious claims have been shot down as useless duds. This time everyone ought to be able to see that he is trying to cover up the fact that he goofed up rather foolishly on his various IP address claims, and lost badly in the process. This can be easily demonstrated in this way. He claimed earlier the following: QUOTE 3. He can get access to the sender's IP address. For those who are not familiar with what this is, the IP is an unique identifier that can be traced to the sender. When the emails are routed via the GoaNet distribution list, the original IP is masked and replaced by GoaNet's own IP. This is private information and should not be divulged to third parties and GoaNet is doing the right thing here. UNQUOTE .Jim Fernandes Then when his IP address was revealed by Mervyn from his Goanet post he changed his tune and claimed the following: QUOTE Finally, when you put together all the four tokens that made up the IP address, all the email header did, is gave you the public IP. As it's name implies, this IP is open for anyone to see and you can't do CRAP with it. This is akin to someone saying, Hey look, I found your zipcode UNQUOTE .Jim Fernandes And now he tells us that he has spoofed his IP to create a fake IP address. Any sensible person would be able to see through this silly facade, and ask the following questions: 1. If Goanet can mask the IP address then why does he have to spoof his IP to create a fake IP address? 2. Which of his following contradictory claims is he standing by? A. the IP is an unique identifier that can be traced to the sender. .Jim Fernandes B. As it's name implies, this IP is open for anyone to see and you can't do CRAP with it. .Jim Fernandes C.

Many of you have already received a note announcing the death of our dear colleague Dr. Cornell DaCosta just a few days ago. Those of you who have only been with the society for a few years would have at least heard the name and have come to know his significant role as one of the original co-founders of this group in 1980. You no doubt have heard that he is one of our most prolific scholars and educational leaders, and as a result helped envision and shape ISfTE into the structure we largely enjoy today. Cornell was a believer in collaboration, accountability and leadership. These attributes will go down as the least of the depth and breadth of talent he displayed as a gifted steward of teaching and learning. More than anything, he was a passionate articulator for lifting up the under-served, for the invisible, for people that find themselves on the margins and as a consequence their access and development compromised. He felt that this society could be a good place for their voices to be heard, and I would submit that he has left us with a charge to do better; even in his death, he compels the teachable moment. Our thoughts are directed to his family in hope that they are lifted in this hour of sorrow. I have spoken to his wife, Nancy, and she asked me to convey her gratefulness to the society for your supportive comments. Forrest Crawford ISfTE Secretary General 16 September, 2010

Stray cows and cattle have been creating problem to the commuters in the city. The menace is serious, as everyday over 40 stray animals are seen on the roads. During market day, it creates problem to the vegetable vendors and grocery shop owners. “The problem is very serious and the municipal council has to act upon this and solve the issue,” Naresh Kadkade, a shop owner, told Herald. “The High Court has also directed that such cattle should not remain on the roads and it is the responsibility of the concerned municipal council to check on this,” added Kadkade. “BMC has deputed a worker in the market, who is seen running after the animals, especially on the market day, but ultimately they return back to the same spot after some time. All these animals should be tied and the owners should be fined,” said Kadkade. It may be recalled that during the last council meeting, BMC had resolved to keep the cattle menace under control and had also decided to assign the responsibility to a private agency from Valpoi. As per the contract, BMC would pay the agency Rs 2 lakh, who take away the stray cattle. It was also decided to fine the cattle owner Rs 250 per day. When asked about the council decision and its implementation, the authorities admitted that the stray cattle are a grave problem in Bicholim. The authorities assured that the menace would be solved by the second week of October.

According to reports, one Pradeep Parab saw a snake in his umbrella while returning from work on Saturday evening. On spotting the snake, Parab grabbed it and after swinging it in the air threw it on the ground. Later, after having his dinner, Parab went to sleep. However on Sunday morning, when the family members saw that Parab was not moving, they shifted him to PHC Bicholim, where he was declared dead. “We have sent the body for post mortem, but we feel that he might have not noticed the snake bite and would have died due to the venom,” said PSI T P Walke. Bicholim Police is investigating the case.

[Goanet] NCP terms Digamber Kamat as father of corruption

Kilimanjaro (5,882m or 19,298 ft) Make a donation at www.Goanet.org, click on MAKE A DONATION, state Daddy's Home in the Donation comments For more information see: http://bit.ly/SupportDaddysHome --- Rajendra Kakodkar's questions: Does this hint that siphoning was pre-planned? Were only Youth involved or also Subhash and co? What points to Digamber?s involvement? How is he the father of Corruption? Are Sankalp and Trojan hand in glove? Sankalp gets Cong ticket against Jose if NCP-Cong alliance fails. Trojan gets NCP ticket against Willy. Another aspect is that Government had planned an expenditure of Rs 120 crore on flood relief and restoration. Most of this money was to be spent through PWD, Health and Social Welfare ministries. All these ministers are uncles of corruption if Digamber is the father. Can someone enlighten how this Rs 120 crore were actually spent? Why is BJP indifferent? Or as usual, did Congress use BJP contractors to spend the money? My answers to Rajendra's questions: May be, it was not pre-planned but after Youth Congress collected about 75 lakhs (NCP claims so) definitely some thing prevented them from disbursing the amount to flood victims and proper accounting! Not only youth congress wing collected the funds but also main congress party did collect the funds. Aam Admi till date is not aware were both these funds have gone! Subhash did come on record saying 'person responsible to announce the details about collected funds by congress party (presumably main party, as he is not responsible for youth congress) is too busy these days'. Apart from this, for the benefit of flood affected victims, many Goans have also contributed to 'chief minister's relief fund (CMRF)' account. By rule, Controller General of Accounts (CGA) of Government of India cannot audit this account. This means, chief minister is free to utilize the money collected as he wants with no questions being asked. More over chief minister has till date not given/published any statement as to how much money is collected in CMRF for the benefit of flood affected victims and how he has spent the collected amount. This is besides announced and planned expenditure of Rs 120 crores of which no Goan knows anything about. Yes, Goans only know that chief minister was bagging Central government to give Goa Rs 120 Crores for the removal of grounded River Princess! Even in this case, no Goan knows whether the requested amount is given by Central government or not. May be these two facts points finger at chief minister and for which he must have been called 'father of corruption'. Like 'Lion always roars when he is hungry', both the persons claiming as aspirant of election ticket are roaring to show their presence and for their share of food (in this case its money share). Hope I have answered Rajendra's questions correctly - hope I am wrong!

In a final act of defiance against the disease, 31-year-old Gemma Hogg checked out of the hospice where she had gone to die to see four-year-old Thomas go to infant school. She then returned to the hospice in Crawley, Sussex, and passed away a day later on Tuesday, September 7, surrounded by her family. Proud mum, proud son: In a final act of defiance against the cancer which was to take her life the following day, Gemma Hogg, 31, checked out of the hospice where she had gone to die to see her son Thomas go to infant school. Here she stands with him outside the family home before they set off Enlarge After dropping Thomas off at school, Gemma returned to the hospice and passed away a day later, surrounded by her family Speaking about his wife of five years, Simon, 42, said: 'She was so happy as a mother. It seemed to complete her. She was never interested in material things, she just loved having her family around her.' He added: 'She wasn't supposed to come out of the hospice but that was Gemma - she was stubborn to the end.' More... Mother-of-three given just months to live after bungling doctors missed her cancer 20 times Mrs Hogg, a mother-of-three from Sutton, Surrey, was struck down by an aggressive form of breast cancer in 2008. 'She had some cushions made with her photo on them with each of the three children with the words When you need a cuddle I'm always here' Her father Peter Carpenter added: 'She was amazing. She still made the effort to take Tom to school the day before she died. She really wanted to see him in his school uniform - that was her goal.' She and her husband moved to Sutton in 2003, where they raised their three children, Isabelle, six, Thomas, four, and James, two. The family, who had planned to relocate to France, received the devastating news two years ago that Mrs Hogg had a rare form of breast cancer. Gemma with her youngest son, James. Mrs Hogg got the all-clear last spring but went back for more tests when she started suffering from sore ribs. In October 2009 a scan revealed cancer spots in her lungs Enlarge Last Christmas: Gathered under the Christmas tree Simon and Gemma embrace their three children (from left) Thomas, four, James, two, and Isabelle, six With all their furniture abroad, the family's plans changed dramatically and they moved in with Mrs Hogg's parents in Horley, Surrey. Mrs Hogg was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer - an aggressive form of the disease which affects just four per cent of sufferers - and underwent six months of chemotherapy and a mastectomy. Her husband, an IT project manager, considered taking legal action against the NHS, for what he believes was a 'long summer of misdiagnosis' after a lump, initially discovered by his wife in around 2007, was dismissed as harmless breast tissue, then mastitis, and was later treated as a cyst. It was only when Mrs Hogg paid to go private that the severity of her condition was discovered. Mr Hogg said: 'Inflammatory breast cancer is hard to diagnose, especially after a baby has been born because the symptoms are similar to mastitis. 'With Gemma, the lump she had spread to her skin so when it was diagnosed it was at stage three.' He added: 'She was always positive and never moaned about things and she wanted to be treated normally and make the most of what she had.' Mrs Hogg got the all-clear last spring but went back for more tests when she started suffering from sore ribs. In October 2009 a scan revealed cancer spots in her lungs. 'She always believed she would get it again,' said Mr Hogg. Her father, Peter, added: 'She used to say I know it's going to come back but I'm going to beat it'.' In January 2010, Mrs Hogg was told the cancer had spread and was incurable. But instead of dwelling on the condition, the courageous mother-of-three began preparing her children for her passing. Her father said: 'She had some cushions made with her photo on them with each of the three children with the words When you need a cuddle I'm always here.'

Speaking to media persons, Karapur-Sarvan Sarpanch Santos Talkar said recently a mining activity has started in the panchayat area and some environmentalists have voiced against the activity. Even though the activities are still at its budding stage, extraction work is on in the area. “The panchayat has decided to oppose the mining activity and will resort to massive agitation if the activities continue,” said Talkar. “Many villagers are still dependent on agriculture and if these activities are carried out, all the farms will be destroyed,” he added. It may be recalled that Karapur Sarvan Panchayat is surrounded by greenery and there are several rare and huge trees in the area.

Cancer of the neck of womb (cervix) is the most common form of cancer affecting Indian women. Risk of cancer of the cervix for women in India is 2.4% compared to 1.3% for rest of the world. Nearly 80% of this cancer is detected in late stages in India compared to 10 20% in developed countries like USA. The mortality therefore is highest in India. On the positive side, cervical cancer has a long precancerous stage and can be cured 100% if detected in this stage or early stages. Screening and prevention of this cancer is therefore possible. Lions Club of Mormugao is organizing a cervical cancer awareness programme at St. Andrews Church Hall, Vasco da Gama, on 26/9/2010 at 10.30 a.m. The speakers for this programme are Dr. Nimish Pillai, Gynaecologist, MPT Hospital and Dr. Shailesh Kamat, practicing Gynaecologist from Vasco.

Dear Goanetters,
Professor of Tübingen, Lohfink Gerhard, wrote a book in German. It was
subsequently translated into Italian and was entitled Dio non esiste! Gli
argomenti del nuovo ateismo, (God does not exist! Arguments of new
atheism), Saint Paul Editions, 2010:
It is a passionate defense of religion against attacks of new forms of
atheism. the Author examines the main assertions of atheism and refutes,
among others, starting with their quotations: Ludwig Feuerbach, F.Nietzsche,
A.Schopenhauer, C.Darwin and Richard Dawkins.
Who holds the best answer to the great questions of life, the one who
believes in Jesus Christ or the one who refuses to join any faith in God? To
all those who remained Christians it can only help them to realise anew the
richness of their faith for themselves and for others. In the early
centuries of the Church it was still normal to live in love as Christians.
In the twenty-first century they should witness to love again in a new way.
Gerhard Lohfink is German theologian, Professor of the New Testament
exegesis at the University of Tübingen.
Regards.
Fr.Ivo

The team had won the title in 2000 and 2008. Showing maturity with better coordination and well-patterned movements, Loutolim exercised slight control over the match. It was not long after the start that the team took the lead from a penalty kick by Neil D’Silva. The penalty was awarded when a Aguada defender handled the ball in the box. Displaying good fighting spirit, Aguada kept the Loutolim forwards at bay and made some sporadic runs into the rival territory. One such led to the team getting the equaliser from Andrew Saviel before half-time. On resumpton, Neil struck again to make it 2-1 for Loutolim. As time was running out for Aguada, Ron Monteiro sealed the game for the winners with a low drive.

Stray cows and cattle have been creating problem to the commuters in the city. The menace is serious, as everyday over 40 stray animals are seen on the roads. During market day, it creates problem to the vegetable vendors and grocery shop owners. “The problem is very serious and the municipal council has to act upon this and solve the issue,” Naresh Kadkade, a shop owner, told Herald. “The High Court has also directed that such cattle should not remain on the roads and it is the responsibility of the concerned municipal council to check on this,” added Kadkade. “BMC has deputed a worker in the market, who is seen running after the animals, especially on the market day, but ultimately they return back to the same spot after some time. All these animals should be tied and the owners should be fined,” said Kadkade. It may be recalled that during the last council meeting, BMC had resolved to keep the cattle menace under control and had also decided to assign the responsibility to a private agency from Valpoi. As per the contract, BMC would pay the agency Rs 2 lakh, who take away the stray cattle. It was also decided to fine the cattle owner Rs 250 per day. When asked about the council decision and its implementation, the authorities admitted that the stray cattle are a grave problem in Bicholim. The authorities assured that the menace would be solved by the second week of October.

The two-time Olympian's family hails from Goa, although he was born in Toronto, and he is naturally thrilled to lead the 225-member strong contingent in New Delhi. I'm just picturing that moment...of holding that flag and walking out having 300 to 400 Canadians behind me, Canadian newspaper The Globe And Mail quoted Pereira as saying. It's especially sweet because it's the birthplace of my parents. We still have a lot of family over there and I'm sure they'll come out and support the Canadian team, added the 37-year-old, who captained the Canadian team in the World Cup in New Delhi this February. The midfielder from Unionville, Ontario, has earned over 300 international caps and is the first team-sport athlete to become the Canadian flagbearer for the CWG. He has made three previous Commonwealth Games appearances, and now plays professional hockey for Dutch club HGC. As a child, Ken Pereira (37) harboured dreams of playing ice hockey, which is a much bigger sport than field hockey in Canada. But his hopes were dashed when he realized he was too small to play professionally. But Pereira - who will be flag-bearer for the Canadian contingent during the CWG opening ceremony in New Delhi-said he never thought of changing his citizenship to play in India or elsewhere. Just being born in Canada, I couldn't imagine playing for another country, he said. Even though (field) hockey is bigger in other countries, I couldn't imagine putting on another jersey unless it had the maple leaf on it. With encouragement from his uncle and cousin, he picked up a field hockey stick at age 16. Pereira hopes that the sight of him holding the flag at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium will remind the folks back home in Canada that hockey is also played off the ice. Some people don't even know that we have a men's field hockey team that goes to the Olympics and stuff like that, he said. I think it will promote the sport in Canada, for sure.

Subject: Re: [Goanet] Science Cannot Explain Life
Perhaps this seemingly inconclusive topic may prolong inconclusively as
long as the obscure gray line demarcating noumenon and phenomenon is
not explained in black and white.
*Science has not yet given a definite answer about the origins of life. It
cannot give an answer on the meaning of human existence.
The arrogance of the scientist often prevents him from seeing that he is
as much a believer as a mystic is. A scientist believes in phenomenon
and adamantly refuses to believe until ‘The first cause’ or ‘God’ is
proven as a fact. He is willing ( or is he?) to believe in Him only if
he sees God as a gray bearded fellow and shakes His hand! A mystic finds
it meaningful to approach the subject differently by saying “Thou indeed
art, O Lord, reveal Thy glorious form unto me.”
The two approaches are obviously opposed; that there is a conflict is
but understandable.
**There should not be any conflict, since Science deals with the phenomenal
world. Only Faith can tell us something definite on soul, afterlife, God,
Resurrection.
The conflict, however, is neither in the scientist's mind (since he is
convinced of god's non-existence), nor is it in the mind of the mystic
who has 'found' God by virtue of his mystical experience. Yet a mystic
claims to have arrived at a definite conclusion to his inquiry. The
scientist, with his typical nonchalance “does not care” ( as quoted by
Dr. Helekar) to explain “the meaning” of life. He allows, rather
imperatively, 'subjective' belief to whoever that seeks some desperate
formula to allay his troubled mind regarding 'meaning of life'.
**Scientist cannot answer this question (does not care).
The question troubles seekers of 'meaning' beyond the mere explanation
of phenomenon. It is indeed a question which falls in the supra-physical
realm. Adherents of science, since it “does not care” to explain
supra-physical matter should not bother to enter in the discussion
regarding the topic that's beyond their purview. Instead, the scientist
or the disciple of science proffers to proclaim his
prejudice. “Hail”, he says, “God does not exist, for I do not care
whether He exists or not!”
**Scientists who believe only in Science become agnostics, they do not know
about it...

Tautology by educated conservatives is well known. 911 was a result of fundamentalism by educated experts. Science is galloping. Even if not crystal clear today, the concepts of life would unfold some day. Better say: People trying to explain life do not know enough science to explain Life. Rajendra Santosh had posted: --- On Sun, 9/19/10, Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão wrote: Has science anywhere explained that if you put all these chemical and physical components together, it could produce ‘Life’? Or for that matter, produce a living substance? Yes. Science has done precisely that over the last 70 years or so. Indeed, Craig Venter and his colleagues have already taken the first steps towards creating the first synthetic life form. Please see the following news reports: http://www.indianexpress.com/news/researchers-create-first-synthetic-life/621927/ http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/may/20/craig-venter-synthetic-life-form The original paper has been published at the following link in the prestigious journal Science:http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/science.1190719 The main problem with the post appended below is a lack of clear thinking about what is being explained, and by what. Indeed, almost every single statement in that post is either a meaningless tautology or an antiquated pre-scientific presumption that has no explanatory value at all, and that has been thoroughly refuted by scientific evidence. Here are the examples: 1. It has explained ‘Living Substance’. None of these points explain what ‘Life’ is!.Dr. dos Reis Falcão The distinction being drawn here is utterly meaningless. If science has explained what makes a substance a living substance, it has by definition explained what life is. If one understands the meaning of an adjective i.e. living, it follows logically that one also understands the meaning of the noun from which it is derived. 2. It is ‘Life’ that initiates all these physical and chemical processes and not vice-versa. .Dr. dos Reis Falcão 3. It is ‘Life’ that creates these chemicals within the cells and body of the living substance. .Dr. dos Reis FalcãoScience has explained exactly why these statements are wrong, in addition to being meaningless tautologies. The word life has no explanatory value. It was a noun that was coined in the pre-scientific age to refer to observations of growth, reproduction, inheritance and self-initiated movement in natural objects. Science has comprehensively and convincingly explained the physical and chemical processes that mediate these observed phenomena. How the physical and chemical processes are initiated, and how the chemicals are created within cells are completely explained by basic physics and chemistry. There is no special spooky explanatory power in the word life beyond being a label to collectively refer to these phenonomena. The above quotes are therefore a vestige from a pre-scientific age that believed in a mysterious vital or life force. Scientific evidence has completely refuted this vitalist notion.4. ‘Life’ is something abstract and an abstract thing cannot be explained by science as to prove scientifically you need concrete proof and not deductive proof...Dr. dos Reis Falcão The lack of clear and consistent rational thinking is obvious in the above non sequitur because it immediately follows the contradictory earlier statements 2 and 3 above. If life is something abstract then how does this abstract thing initiate all these concrete physical and chemical processes and not vice-versa, as claimed in statement 2? If life is something abstract then how does it create concrete chemicals within the cells and body of the living substance, as claimed in statement 3?

I believe Science and Bible are not the two sides of the SAME coin - subject wise and expectation wise both are independent by itself and cannot be correlated by any means. And if at all, anyone attempts to correlate these two different subjects directly or indirectly than that person will have to also understand that, just as we expect that conclusions of science as to be verified before accepting, the same way conclusions of bible will have also to be verified to a point of acceptability!

I have nothing to say about an individual's personal faith-based beliefs, and the contorted arguments he/she engages in to protect the sanctity of those beliefs at any cost. Examples of such individualistic personal beliefs and the tautological arguments offered to protect them are: Because ‘Life’ is something beyond human comprehension, at least so far. Which deduces that : Science cannot explain ‘Life’. .Dr. dos Reis Falcão Earlier this same author claimed that he could comprehend what life does. Please see these quotes: 2. It is ‘Life’ that initiates all these physical and chemical processes and not vice-versa. .Dr. dos Reis Falcão 3. It is ‘Life’ that creates these chemicals within the cells and body of the living substance. .Dr. dos Reis Falcão He also claimed that life was abstract, whatever the heck that means. Please note that these beliefs are entirely personal and idiosyncratic, not supported by any external rationale, evidence or research by genuinely knowledgeable people in the field. Anybody can concoct their own meaning of the word life, and claim that it is beyond human comprehension. They can claim that life is a misty magical demon from the mysterious land of Oz that science will never explain. Indeed, if you believe that life is a supernatural phenomenon, then science will never care to provide you with an explanation. Why would you even bother to look towards science for answers? This contention should become clear further from the following statements of faith-based personal parochial beliefs: QUOTE As we have seen, the scientific evidence confirms that “in the beginning, God created [...] .” Life cannot come from nonlife; only God can create life. True science and the Bible will always agree. Whether in biology, astronomy, geology, or any other field of study, we can trust God’s Word to be accurate when it speaks about these topics. Let us stand up for the truth of Genesis and take back our culture. UNQUOTE .Fr. Ivo QUOTE A scientist believes in phenomenon and adamantly refuses to believe until ‘The first cause’ or ‘God’ is proven as a fact. UNQUOTE .Charudatta Prabhudesai It is clear to me that the authors quoted above do not really want science to explain life, and would never trust science, even if I rubbed all the hard scientific evidence in their faces, including creating the first artificial living organism in the laboratory. So why bother? But to others who might care to listen, let me point out that the three rhetorical questions asked in a dismissive manner in the post appended below, have already been answered. Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão simply does not have that knowledge, apparently, and quite understandably, because he has not read the relevant scientific literature. The questions are embedded in the following quote: QUOTE What makes the living cells produce chemicals, what makes and regulates physical structures, what makes genes to design cells in certain format. That is what is the noun “LIFE” which no human or computer has explained. UNQUOTE .Dr. dos Reis Falcão The answer to the first question is that living cells contain within them a bootstrapped self-assembled molecular machinery performing in a step by step manner complex chemical reactions to synthesize all the chemicals needed to keep the cell functioning normally. The answer to the second question is obvious. It is the complex macromolecular chemicals synthesized in the above manner that make and regulate physical structures by various processes involving self-assembly and self-organization. This has been demonstrated in many different kinds of test tube and culture dish experiments. The answer to the third question is that genes carry molecular templates based on a triplet code, for generating a huge diversity of protein molecules, which can serve as structural as well as functional components in various specific types of self-assembly processes that create the overall structure of each cell. The repertoire of genes that are turned on or off in each cell is triggered by various chemicals, both inside and outside the cell. Cheers, Santosh --- On Sun,

I was actually flabbergasted to read Jose Almeida's message of 19.9.10.
When are Goans like him going to see themselves as Indians? Are they
waiting for another colonial power to deliver them from India! After
deliberation I think there is no use singling Goans out. Almost
everybody is a parochialist in India and all of them are busy preparing
to lead the country into utter chaos. A historical perspective will show
that we have in India at present exactly all the conditions prior to the
start of the revolution in China and we are on the way to the Indian
revolution and once it comes, it might take another fifty years like in
China to at least even very partially sound one's opinion on anything.

But I guess the chap is a bit igno on the birthplace of his parents. Goa and Delhi are different places and were different places. BC NEW DELHI: Ken Pereira, a hockey veteran of Indian origin, has been selected to carry the flag for Canada at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games. The two-time Olympian's family hails from Goa, although he was born in Toronto, and he is naturally thrilled to lead the 225-member strong contingent in New Delhi. I'm just picturing that moment...of holding that flag and walking out having 300 to 400 Canadians behind me, Canadian newspaper The Globe And Mail quoted Pereira as saying. It's especially sweet because it's the birthplace of my parents. We still have a lot of family over there and I'm sure they'll come out and support the Canadian team, added the 37-year-old, who captained the Canadian team in the World Cup in New Delhi this February.
