Therefore, they would already be decomposing, warm, and ready to keep food warm with. <br /><br />Of course, the gezeira covered all these items that *can* become warm, even if they weren't at the time.Tzurahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023153716190402200.post-8020824891666212472009-07-08T22:47:21.957+03:002009-07-08T22:47:21.957+03:00A mojor consideration in making compost is regulat...A mojor consideration in making compost is regulating the heat caused by decomposition. Too cool and the process will slow down or even stop, seeds will sprout and the liquid will not burn off. Too hot and the microbes will die and too much liquid will burn off. A good compost heap will have a temperature range of 120F-150F. Looks like yad soledet bo to me.JTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023153716190402200.post-50993368982801357432009-07-07T05:44:39.637+03:002009-07-07T05:44:39.637+03:00zdub said...

This happened during the time that the task was being performed, by the time the last piles were being collected, the older piles had already become hot internally. (I don't remember the exact amount of time.)LazerAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10463856909521693296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023153716190402200.post-58193305730692802412009-07-06T19:00:29.336+03:002009-07-06T19:00:29.336+03:00“I’ve got it!” I exclaimed. “These things ferment ...<i>“I’ve got it!” I exclaimed. “These things ferment and decompose, producing heat in the process.”</i><br /><br />Highly unlikely that you will get any significant decomposition over such a short time frame such that there will be any heat produced.<br /><br />But the post was interesting, nonetheless.zdubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06642047900508041723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023153716190402200.post-11417336038024594622009-07-06T18:55:43.787+03:002009-07-06T18:55:43.787+03:00The following link http://www.naturesiq.com/excerp...The following link http://www.naturesiq.com/excerpt.html has someone trying to show that this awesome bird could not have evolved. Well, sort of. First it says "it is inconceivable that the mallee fowl would have evolved from any other bird... The possibility of a gradual evolution can be excluded." But later on it says, "as for the origin of this bird, the most rational explanation is that this species was created by a very innovative and meticulous fatherly intelligence, equipped with the impulses necessary for successful hatching, the heatsensing organ, and its complex abilities of regulating heat." <br /><br />If he were consistent, he would've said "the ONLY rational explanation." I hate it when creationists can't decide which way to argue their case. <br />On the other hand, I'd be curious to learn how scientists theorize how this bird came to be, so I can judge how rational it is.OMalleenoreply@blogger.com
