Forums > Living in Kunming > does anyone have fast internet?

When I lived in central China, I had reasonably fast broadband with a company called Great Wall. So in coming to Kunming, which I had heard was more foreigner-friendly, I was surprised and disappointed to discover that only ADSL was available. Does anyone know whether services of the Great Wall company might be available in Kunming yet?

Forums > Living in Kunming > Anyone receiving the Australia satellite channel?

With football finals coming up in Oz, does anyone know where we can watch the matches? Most satellite packages no longer include the Australia channel, so we would like to know where we could watch, especially at Grand Final time in a month or so. Any hotels or cafes? Or if you have the channel at your home, would you mind some company at match time? (we can bring food!)

I think creationists also claim some scientific proof for their position (presumably making different interpretations than evolutionists), but also relying upon more than science alone. Existence does not derive or consist of intellect alone, but also of the heart and the soul. Evolutionists usually do not comprehensively address existence in this way. Thus the theories have different purposes, so try and contrast them on a scientific basis alone (even when one cannot fully disprove the other anyway) is only looking at part of the picture. Apples and oranges.

Being tongue-in-cheek I used the emotive term propaganda. If there were ulterior motives of evolutionists, it would be to claim they have through science "disproved" an alternative explanation of origins such as creationism, proponents of which do not usually purport to rely on science alone anyway. However as you agreed, even science has not proven evolutionism. Thus to claim that it has, doesn't that seem something like propaganda?

My comment was intended to be tongue-in-cheek, following on from the discussion on the other thread recently about evolutionism. I was just saying, like Alien indicated above, that this is a theory not beyond doubt as to its validity, and open to revision and reinterpretation. Other forms of science are verified through experimentation and observation, but that does not apply to evolutionism, for which those methods are not available. Despite all of this, pronouncements by evolutionists seem to be treated unquestionedly as fact rather than speculation and interpretation.
