Full Recovery Expected for Barker and DJ AM

A doctor has announced that Travis Barker and DJ AM are expected to have a full recovery after yesterday's horrific plane crash.

Barker and Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein were severely burned yesterday when their Learjet crashed before takeoff from a Columbia, South Carolina airport. The crash killed four people, including Barker's assistant Chris Baker.

Dr. Fred Mullins, medical director of the Joseph M. Still Burn Center, said both Travis and Adam suffered second and third-degree burns. Mullins said Barker's torso and Adam's arm and part of his head were burned.

77. I was devastated to hear this as I had just been reading about Travis the day before. I Love Love Love Travis and could not be happier to hear that is is going to be fine. So sorry about the people that didnt make it.
I wish them a speedy recovery both mentally and physically.
I LOVE YOU TRAVIS!!!!!!!!!!

78. This is still not good news. These guys are screwed. Maybe im just pessimistic, but they are far from a "full recovery". And talk about lucky, lucky would be dying and not having to live through the pain they are about to face. These guys are not lucky. There's nothing worse than waking up everyday to a miserable life. But white peoples skin does heal much better than ours. So maybe they wont be scarred so bad...but still...i doubt it.

79. It is more likely that there is in fact an explanation grounded in science, but we are simply not yet advanced enough to comprehend it. - nogod1

84. I know, my poor little hubby. : (

one of Mark's friends called and asked if i was crying all day.
(no, i have not been crying but it was funny how many people know i'm so crazy for my Travis.) ha ha ha

anyhow, he is in Ga right now and i would give anything to be in Shanna spot. she left the kids to come be by Travis. being by his bed side most be the best thing ever. to know that you are the most specialist one to be by him in his time of need. they are so in love and they so belong together. i could not even imagine almost loosing your soul mate and ur children's father. she must be so happy he jumped out of the plane, or ran out the back door or how ever they got out in the last min.

well, the best of luck to him and everyone on the plane, ...
i'm sure he will hold Shanna and the kids just a little tighter now that this has happened.
maybe him and Shanna will get back together.
with his waist being all burned up and probable scared for live, maybe he can see that Shanna loves him for better and worst.

i can't imagine how tight he will hug, Landon (his son) and Alabama (his daughter) when he gets to see them again.
knowing that he might have not gotten that chance.

What CRAZY Stuff !!!

Apparently you cannot read for comprehension either Otacon. I did not say that science will eventually prove something. I said that is the more likely explanation. Look at the mysteries of the universe that been revealed in the past few centuries. Feel free to believe that some magical enigmatic being is behind them though.

88. The very existence of the universe itself is evidence that there is a God. There are only three options for the existence of the universe. 1) that it has always been, which has been utterly rejected by the scientific community. The motion of the galaxies, background radiation echo, and other evidences all overwhelming point to the fact that the universe sprang into existence at a particular point in time (Big Bang Theory). 2) that it came into being by itself. Obviously, a non-existent universe could not have done anything! Nothing is nothing. Nothing cannot see, smell, act, think, or create. So option 1 and 2 can be thrown out on scientific and philosophical grounds. 3) that it was created. Someone or something outside the universe created the universe is the only reasonable option.

When you see a painting, what proof do you need to establish the fact that a painter exists? Nothing besides the painting itself. The painting is absolute proof that there was a painter. You do not need to see the painter to believe that he or she exists. The painting is all the evidence you need. It would not be there if the painter did not exist, and so it is with the universe. The existence of the universe itself proves absolutely that there is a creator.

I was wondering that myself, I actually was going to add that to the post but I deleted it. I hope his hands are ok.....for his career's sake

In all due respect, you weren't there, nor were you on board the plane when everything went wrong, you have no clue what happened, what conversations were made, or if they tried to save Chris's or anyone elses lives. It is very ignorant of you to say something like that.

Are we really going to go here? There have been several plausible theories posited as to how the universe came into being without God. Read Atheist Universe by David Mills or other works by scores of other scientific authors. Moreover, like I said before even if there were not adequate scientific theories that already explained the creation of the universe that would not mean that there would not be in the future.
