certainly believe in a God before a big bang and whole series of accidents that formulate an entire intelligent race

Questionable

And just for interests sake, not stirring shit or taking the piss but what makes you certain of your belief in a higher power than anything else? Also what makes your God the right one as opposed to others?

Def questionable with some folk :rofl2:

In the same way you are so sure about evolution is what goes through my mind every time I look at the perfectly formed stars in their galaxies and everything else around us that just screams creation to me rather than accident.

I suppose we'll all be the wiser one day....hopefully not too soon though :P

Steve, you know how I am with religion, what I do and don't believe and why, I just do not, and forgive me here, do not understand how one can not come to terms with evolution. It's not a belief, it's not faith; there's scientific evidence that backs it......

And Pete, I don't think it says anything about her life choices at all. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, let people be and do what you feel is right. I don't think I need to go to church every weekend to be a good person, I have my own moral compass, my own code to live by. I know of many people with varying faiths that are pieces of shit and think because they pray and go to church it makes it ok. Conversely I also know of people without religion that are down right assholes too.... Either way, believe what you want to in your own time, take comfort in it and leave it at that. Not everyone will agree

Anyways, that's all :laugh:

Totally well said and +1!

Fair enough mate :)

You see perfectly formed stars, I do too. I also see perfectly formed babies, then others who are disabled, disfigured, etc. How one so powerful can allow that to happen to an innocent.... it makes me genuinely cry. How my grandfather, who was in WWII, killed numerous men for his country and was a devout Catholic, could still get a seat in heaven after breaking one of the Ten Commandments, the cornerstone of Christian beliefs....; it just confuses me. I could go on and on but no one wants to hear

You're right though, we'll find out one day one way or the other and I definitely hope it's not too soon. I've got too much I want to do. Life's short

LOL, peeps keep adding to their original posts.

I do agree with one thing though Luke.....you will find assholes everywhere....including in the church unfortunately

Atheism isn't a sore point to me at all - I do not believe I've 'bitten so hard', despite what you might think. I do take issue with people posting incorrect information around - whether it's about cars, computers or atheism.

you just don't bite as hard when it's about cars, yeah?

One last question Pete.... I'll leave ya alone then :laugh:

We're you born into your faith? Or did you find it along the way and it changed your life and the way you were living?

The way I see religion, and it's just me ( I'm trying to get you to see my understanding of it - not to agree with it :) ) is it's a tool for change; or depending on the situation - control. Whether or not there is a higher power up there, the faith that there is, gives people the strength they need to better themselves. Whether this is a terrible thing or not is questionable, I mean, so long as someone is good, what does it matter what they believe right?

The other argument is that the catholic church supports the theory of evolution

I mean if God is all knowing and omnipotent, then whats to say he/she/it didn't create the universe and the big bang, and guide the evolution of not only the human race, but every biological entity on the planet?

Whether or not God exists is a question too deep and it starts too many wars. If however God does exist, he/she/it is a hell of a lot smarter than us, so really, why worry?

-D

I know where you're coming from Luke.............I come from an Orthodox background by birth but that has Zero effect or influence on my belief system

...and unlike those street preachers that we've seen on the news lately that spew God's wrath and hate around without any love, I'm the last guy that would try to force anything down your throat.....it seems they have a bit of a distorted view of the bible and I'm not about to get into semantics on a public forum regarding these clowns who appear to have extremist views.

Have you guy that are claiming that there is no scientific proof actually actively looked into the field or are you just relying on what you have pick up during your life. Because if you actively look into it there is a lot more evidence for evolution that there is for creationism.

Also the formation of stars and galaxies are explained by Einstein's General relativity.

EDIT!!

This will end up being a fruitless debate for all involved.

Ouuuuuuuur whole universe was in a hot dense state, Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait... The Earth began to cool, The autotrophs began to drool, Neanderthals developed tools, We built a wall (we built the pyramids), Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries, That all started with the big bang!

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
