  1. Wouldn't want to shock-load one that had been shock-loaded! I didn't know they were designed for that.
  2. I don't know, Brad. Mine is just black, I didn't really consider the colour.

    Lichens

    I understand. So the pH of a particular tree species IS significant with regards to the lichen species that may colonise its surface?

    Lichens

    In what way might these lichens be influenced, Ben?
  5. Yes - I understand now.
  6. C'mon - you knew someone would ask! What's a tramp steamer?
  7. How much have you got! Suits you, sir!
  8. Hi Sagen, do you have access to tree climbing groups over there? As is often the case, joining a group or club might provide the experience you need to enable informed choices to be made. You might also get the opportunity to try different pieces of equipment and receive useful advice.
  9. That's fair enough - but what does a tree cutter change into? Many of the spin-offs (gardening etc.) would be a drop in wage.
  10. I agree. Not really making a recommendation - just a 'show you mine ... show me yours' comment. If I knew then what I know now, I'd opt for something like an ART positioner.
  11. Is your set-up simple because it works for you, or for some other reason? I usually use one rope, VT, hitchclimber and a lanyard with grillon - it's simple but not as simple as yours.
  12. What about a cambium saver?
  13. If the company has a physical address, contact their local trading standards authority and get them to call round and knock at the door.
  14. I'm signing off aswell, and I echo Matt's wishes - although I believe offense can only be taken, not given. And if we are allowed to quote from great minds (as others have done tonight) may I leave you with one. "When you have studied and understood why you are able to dispell all the false gods, and believe only in the one true God - then you will understand how I can dispell your one true God."
  15. Do you believe that all animal species (remember I'm not even going near plants or bacteria) could be contained in a vessel that covers a small fraction of one side of one mountain?
  16. I wouldn't disregard things that 'haven't been observed' when explaining why God is responsible for all of creation.
  17. Where is it today, Ararat?
  18. Some of these statements are untrue. I don't mean without belief - just untrue. Gene mutation can be observed by anyone studying 'genetics' to a reasonable level. For the layman - if genetic 'mutation' didn't exist, then all siblings would be identical. ie. there's an element of potential mutation in every event in which genes are 'exchanged' eg. fertilisation of an egg by another's sperm. With regards to the flood - did Noah get a pair of every species of animal into an ark. That's a lot of animals nevermind the plants and bacteria that must have been needed to re-seed the world after the event.
  19. But Matt, the people who are reading these words in a Bible (one of the many variants, translations etc.) know who has made everything because they're reading the Bible that's telling them. I think Mesterh is asking about the people who have never encountered the Bible. And what if one witnesses nature and draws a different conclusion from the God-centred one?
  20. Or whose God should we place our bets on?
  21. For a while, I drove my daughter and her best friend (who's a Christian) to a Christian Activity group. My daughter eventually decided that this wasn't for her because she suspected something hollow in a way of thinking that had to be 'hidden amongst fun games'. From the mouth of babes - eh? Her best friend is still her best friend.
  22. If He is God, then He chooses to have the scars, He chooses to be damaged. Nothing occurs against His will. He cannot be portrayed as a victim of circumstance.
  23. What do you mean? To claim 'He gave everything' is practicing care - but to claim otherwise is being careless?
  24. And He hardly gave everything he had when he was able to reclaim it all back, undamaged and with interest.
