It was work by JD Rockefeller that outlawed both Alcohol and Marijuana. Not because Rockefeller was a tee-totler, but because both of these competed with the products of Petroleum that Rockefeller had cornered.
"White Lightning" so called because it burned clean, and could be used in an engine, oh and because it will knock you back when you drink it. Distilled all over the hill county using spoilt grains, was available for Ford's Model T, until Rockefeller funded the rather small Abolitionists.
Hemp, a product that the US Government used to pay farmers to grow to gain naval and military supply, was tossed in with the cousin or untended Marijuana, and instead, all of those polymer Nylon and Rayon became the base cloth for Rope and Kit.

You're not incorrect, these medications have serious side effects, and shouldn't be your source of spirit. But neither should the Government be involved in my personal medical decisions. Not one of these gun carriers is trustworthy to use his sword as a surgical tool.

David Rockefeller in his “Memoirs” (Quote)

“For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure — one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”

~ David Rockefeller in his 2002 autobiography, “Memoirs”

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years......It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.”

The thing about science is that it's real whether you believe it or not.
On the last test, they discovered four new subatomic particles
The great thing about the atheists is they just can't show us.

I don't know if I had looked at it that way. As for frontiers, if Space does exist, then that seems to me a frontier more aligned with Columbus. And should have plenty of particles to study.
I'm still wondering what this could do for us, since seeing these things currently requires CERN. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just not seeing it.
You think you can just go to space and see something particle sliding round? Are you 5 years old?

Only every moment of the day, when I can be.

As for seeing particles, it's not impossible you'll see the effects of, maybe even stop it with a sensor, dunno. Anatoli Bugorski might be an example.

There's a chance they'll cut matter into smaller bits of matter, for thousanths of a second, imo. If you expend enough energy, you should be able to isolate little bitty pieces of energy from everything else that normally holds it in place. The question is what you could possibly do with a cut of energy, that requires all that high focus of energy just to see the effects of, since seeing its effects in the future will probably require that much energy to see every time. If you can answer this with any sufficient mathmatic or logical support, you can probably get a nobel prize, which is a million dollars? or maybe a cut of a million. But anyway, you'd have to win that thing, and considering the number of people coming up with theories, yours would have to be really well liked by the committee, whomever those people be.
Not if you're Obama.

As usual it’s good to have these types of conversations with those who seem reasonable.
I feel like @apwall21 and myself are on the same page on principles even If there are disagreements on minor details.

Science is basically us, asking How things work and we tinker around trying to figure out things.
‘When you take away all the politics, all the agendas all the egos …. It’s just you in a garage trying to figure out things.

I alluded to this earlier but Neil deGrasse Tyson was talking about this. He is of the opinion that America will eventually lose its position as a world superpower due to the demonizing of science
America will stagnate while the rest of the world excels

lol, Wokeism is doing more to end US dominance. We're training people who will work for our enemies, and giving the rest of the spots to our females, who will struggle to match native talent of the males, and will drop out of the workforce during their best years to raise kids, like they should.

The fact that a large percentage of the population thinks the hadron collider is satanic is telling
There's nothing satanic about trying to figure out how the universe works.
Why would God give us intellect and then expect us not to try to figure things out? That wouldn't make any sense

It's something to holler and complain about, and you know how desperate some people are for something to holler and complain about. They are only happy when they have something to be unhappy about.

Basically it's the Christian form of conspiracy theories. It takes the place of chemtrails, controlled demolition and the moon landing soundstage.

Why would a non Christian talk about What God would give us?

Some people get intimidated by other people they believe are better than they are. And some people reflexively attack people they find intimidating.

When you believe some people are more intelligent, it helps a lot to find some reason to believe they are evil. Then you don't feel so intimidated by them... But then you spend a lot of time yelling about how evil they are.

I'm just trying to figure out why a professed non Christian, who not too long ago claimed to BE a Christian, would be interested in what those who ARE Christians think about God, what is Satanic, and evil.

sounds like the type of confusion that reigns in the life of the unbeliever?

Most people simply don't have any faith. They may claim to believe in God but they don't put any faith in with their claims.

God is omnipotent and Sovereign.
Mankind simply thinks its in charge....it isn't.

And I'm sorry but even the haldron collider is not going to give people the answers. They speed up a single atom so fast that they then run it into something else so they break it....

Everything is made of atoms and molecules. Exactly what did they run it into? Why not look at it when it was whole?

Not a lot of this makes a lot of sense.

It's like saying "I shot a water droplet at the ocean to see if it was made of hydrogen and oxygen."

I coulda told them the answer before they went to all this trouble....but at least it's kept them busy.

I still want to fire proton streams at a pigeon. Good thing they didn't let me join the CERN team.

This is really a troubling thing.

I sympathized with Dude over his tough breakup and the tragic loss of his son. I still do.

Now I can't think of a single thing I agree on with Dude, but at least, or so I thought, he was a brother in Christ. And at the end of the day, that was all that really mattered.

But now that he says he's not a believer, that is a terribly sad and disturbing thing.

No confusion. I've read the Bible and I know what it says. There's nowhere in there where it says don't try to figure stuff out

You have completely missed the message of the Bible, from leaning on your own understanding and not seeking the guidance of Holy Spirit who was given to guide us in ALL truth.
