From wikipedia, which is not unmoderated as some people may say -

"Feathered dinosaurs are regarded by many paleontologists as transitional fossils between birds and dinosaurs (see Dinosaur-bird connection). It was already well known that ancient birds such as Archaeopteryx had many saurian characteristics, such as claws on their 'fingers' and teeth. For many years it had been theorized that birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs. In the late 1990s, discoveries of feathered dinosaurs provided conclusive evidence of the connection, though the genealogical details are still incomplete."

Note the use of the words "transitional fossils". Weren't creationists hung up on the idea that there aren't any of these?

Also anyone who has any other evidence of the transition from therapod to avian would be welcome.

They say something like only 46% of Americans vote. Even countries like Iran have more of a turn out. I was just wondering what keeps us Amercans from voting? Don't you want to make a difference?

The dresses that my bridesmaids will be wearing are somewhat elaborate, and since I have 2 maids of honor I thought it would be best that that both the bridesmaids and the maids of honor wear the same dress, with the difference that the maids of honor dresses will be in a different shade within the wedding's color scheme. But now one of my MOH, thinks that everyone wearing the same dress will not look good, and I worry that a different dress might clash with the bridesmaids dresses which are already bought. What do you think?

A guy I've known for a couple of years has recently returned from travelling and has been emailing and ringing me in a friendly way to catch up.

We are both open (and relaxed) with the fact that we find each other very attractive.

I have just come out of a long term relationship and have been dating other guys, he's got a girlfriend at the minute but it's not a serious relationship (on his part anyway).

We havent met up yet, but he often sends me teasy texts about how much he fancies me and wants me (oo-er!) or that he's thinking about me.

He's a bit naughty and I think at the minute he's just after sex. I don't want anything serious, but it would be nice to have more of a fling than just a shag!

I know he fancies me, how do I go about making him want me more and for more than just sex?

(P.S....I do realise he's a player, but I'm not looking for marriage material!)

I have a 3 soon to be 4 year old little daughter, here is my problem. Last year I would say around Oct or so, she developed a fever, this fever would go as high as 105.1 and as low as 99.2. Working in the medical field myself, I know that a temp of 99.2 is nothing to really worry about, but it does indicate that there is the start of something starting. She went to 3 different doctors and noone could figure it out. We even had her to Pittsburgh's Children's Hospital, since thats where I'm from is westen PA. I'm starting to worry again, shes got a fever of 100 right now but shes also got a chest cold. This is how it started out last time was with a chest cold, and it went away, but the fever never did, The doctors tested her from everything from cat stratch fever to pnumia. I am at a total loss. I hate to see my child go thru this again. Is there anyone out there that has gone thru this or is going thru this right now? Please help for the sake of my 3 year old.

I am giving an example where sum of three perfect squares are sum of other three perfect squares
9^(2) + 2^(2) + 2^(2) = 4^(2) + 3^(2) + 8^(2)
i.e. a^(2) + b^(2) +c^(2) = d^(2) + e^(2) + f^(2)
But here i am getting "b" & "c" as same.Give an example where "a", "b" ,"c" ,"d", "e" & "f" are distinct from each other.I would say that there is no such example .What do u say & why?

Why do many people believe that if you are against abortions you must be against the death penalty also? It is strange to me that anybody at all could believe that a serial killer or rapist has the same right to life as a fetus. (I'm not saying I'm anti-abortion, I'm not seeking to promote my beliefs, I'm not criticising others, I only want opinions.)
Those who insist the death penalty is as wrong as abortion...
A six-month fetus is a living being who can already hear, feel, sleep, and dream. It is an innocent being unable to even comrehend evil or bad. I understand the belief that it has a right to live.Ted Bundy brutally raped, tortured, and murdered an estimated 40 young girls in three years. He escaped from jail twice to commit more savage atrocities onto womankind. How does this type of being deserve the right to life? Doesn't a person like this deserve to die before it happens again?
How can anybody say that the two examples are equal in their right to live?

they split up when the children were 1 1/2 yrs and 1 yr, and are now both re-married? If the children never really knew about any of it, and don't remember it and both parents have moved on(well at least one), then why talk to the children about it at all? I mean, tell them if they ask, but why say anything to them if they don't. The only thing the kids are going to end up asking is why mommy and daddy aren't married anymore(which is why I think they were told in the first place) and it will only confuse them. They are too young to understand why the parents split. The children are 5 and 6 now. But they were asking questions about mommy and daddy being married when they were 3 and 4 out of the blue. But they weren't even old enough to remember when daddy and mommy were together! And none of them were alive when they were married. The grandmother argues that it is important to the kids to know that daddy and mommy were married, but they were only together 1 1/2 yrs.

....Singles & Dating? It seems less than God like to me. I would think quiet introspection and scripture study would be what God wanted from us. Not to post almost incomprehensible gobble de g0ok about Jehova knows what to a bunch of horny housewives, homeschooled teens, unemployed pederasts and well, the rest of us.
