There is truth in this. After having been kicked out of two churches, I decided to leave the church and go back to GOD. Never regretted it.

On the other hand, there are honest, truth-seeking preachers who, if you tell them they are wrong, will ask you to show them where and will change accordingly if convinced.

I will not argue that photosynthesis separates carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into oxygen and carbon. Nor will I argue that the amount of oxygen and carbon atoms released by photosynthesis are exactly equal to the atoms contained in the carbon dioxide converted. but in the process there appears to be a by product which leaves us with MASS.
Biomass, abbreviation for biological mass, the amount of living material provided by a given area of the earth's surface. The term is most familiar from discussions of biomass energy, that is, the fuel energy that can be derived directly or indirectly from biological sources. Biomass energy from wood, crop residues, and dung remains the primary source of energy in developing regions. In a few instances it is also a major source of power, as in Brazil, where sugarcane is converted to ethanol fuel, and in China's Sichuan province, where fuel gas is obtained from dung. Various research projects aim at further development of biomass energy, but economic competition with petroleum has mainly kept such efforts at an early developmental stage.
See Energy Supply, World; Fuels, Synthetic; Gasohol.

Mass in this context is a completely different usage of the term. We are discussing the physics definition of mass, not the definition for a clump of organic material.
The equivalency Richard mentioned earlier is what tells us that an object's mass - its' universal measurement of matter -regardless of the strength of the gravitational field it's in, is equal to its potential energy if it's not moving. If it's moving, the mass is equal to it's kinetic energy. The speed of light is set to 1 because the formula doesn't depend on a specific system of measurement units.

Science replaces private prejudice, with publicly verifiable evidence.

and so we hand this back over to "scissors simplified" and ask the author to forgive us.

I think we should not forget that scissors may be "significantly" employed to push and pull directionally. I.e we are not left to using the scissors to move weight.

this of course is Subjective still in need of the object goal.

Thanks

Why was this posted on a 'Scissors Simplified' thread?

The video has no Scissor component.

It is in the Fraud section because you have an opinion.

What is it so we can agree?

This thread is very old, agor. It has been resurrected by a member who specializes in raising the dead. :-)

It may originally been elsewhere and demoted to the Fraud forum.

Sure looks like scissors to me. Two pairs, in fact.
