Propane is an energy-rich gas, C3H8. It is one of the liquefied petroleum gases (LP-gases or LPGs) that are found mixed with natural gas and oil. Propane and other liquefied gases, including ethane and butane, are separated from natural gas at natural gas processing plants, or from crude oil at refineries. The amount of propane produced from natural gas and from oil is roughly equal.

Propane naturally occurs as a gas. However, at higher pressure or lower temperatures, it becomes a liquid. Because propane is 270 times more compact as a liquid than as a gas, it is transported and stored in its liquid state. Propane becomes a gas again when a valve is opened to release it from its pressurized container. When returned to normal pressure, propane becomes a gas so that we can use it.

I look for the Creator in people and every time I have gone to church demigoddess Mar 2018 #3

I look for the Creator in creation, guillaumeb Mar 2018 #6

It is lovely that your faith is grounded in love and compassion. AJT Mar 2018 #5

Perhaps you can find it again. guillaumeb Mar 2018 #7

What did it look like? Eko Mar 2018 #8

I feel that the Creator is reflected in the creation. guillaumeb Mar 2018 #10

I figured since you found him you could let us know Eko Mar 2018 #13

No, you must find the Creator for yourself. guillaumeb Mar 2018 #19

Didnt you say this? Eko Mar 2018 #22

Trust me, he's delusional. PoindexterOglethorpe Mar 2018 #26

Seems that way. Eko Mar 2018 #33

You missed the point of the post. guillaumeb Mar 2018 #46

You mean the point Eko Mar 2018 #51

What are you looking for? guillaumeb Mar 2018 #53

That question Eko Mar 2018 #57

My faith tells me that I found the path. guillaumeb Mar 2018 #59

Your faith. Eko Mar 2018 #60

Looking for proof is to misunderstand faith. guillaumeb Mar 2018 #63

You asked me where I looked and how I looked. Eko Mar 2018 #64

I understand. guillaumeb Mar 2018 #65

So I should believe something Eko Mar 2018 #66

Is everything that you believe provable? guillaumeb Mar 2018 #67

Yup, to a reasonable degree. Eko Mar 2018 #68

Do you believe in love? guillaumeb Mar 2018 #69

Wow, you got me. Eko Mar 2018 #70

What is love? guillaumeb Mar 2018 #72

Love is an emotion that humans, Eko Mar 2018 #73

How does love differ from self-interest? guillaumeb Mar 2018 #74

Because there are people all across the world Eko Mar 2018 #75

Love and self-interest are inseparable. guillaumeb Mar 2018 #78

Of course it is, Eko Mar 2018 #80

When one loves so much that one gives up one's life, is that self-interest? Doodley Mar 2018 #87

It could be group interest. guillaumeb Mar 2018 #89

Group interest is not the same thing as self interest. Eko Mar 2018 #100

It is related. The self is part of a larger group. guillaumeb Mar 2018 #128

Group does not in any way equal self. Eko Mar 2018 #129

A group cannot exist without more than one self. guillaumeb Mar 2018 #130

But a self can exist without a group. Eko Mar 2018 #132

A self can exist for a time, guillaumeb Mar 2018 #133

A group can exist for only a time also. Eko Mar 2018 #134

The fact that I have to explain the difference Eko Mar 2018 #131

There can be multiple emotions also, Eko Mar 2018 #77

Indeed. guillaumeb Mar 2018 #81

Emotions are a feeling that humans experience. Eko Mar 2018 #84

And people believe that love exists. guillaumeb Mar 2018 #86

We have gone over this, Eko Mar 2018 #92

Reactions to stimuli and situations are observable. guillaumeb Mar 2018 #93

Well said. guillaumeb Mar 2018 #90

If you could be specific I could answer your question. Eko Mar 2018 #96

Science is your proof? Have you personally conducted the scientific experiments and taken the Doodley Mar 2018 #102

Yes, Eko Mar 2018 #103

Sure thing. Eko Mar 2018 #71

To use your Easter Bunny analogy, when you see it, you will know you have found it. Doodley Mar 2018 #104

I usually only see it at Easter. Doodley Mar 2018 #112

Who makes that do you suppose? Eko Mar 2018 #114
