It makes me sick that now they want to do this so that the ones who voted in favor of the war, like hillary clinton, could redeem themselves.
"Democrats to revoke the 2002 congressional resolution authorizing the war in Iraq and to restrict U.S. troops to a limited mission as they prepared to withdraw"

Obviously, there aren't really any "missions" like there would have been in WWII, so what are they doing over there? Just making patrol runs? Waiting to get attacked by some insurgent? How can we justify having our troops over there serving as policemen in the middle of a civil war? It's just mind-boggling to me. Bring these brave men and women home!!

My brothers leapard gecko is really thin compared to when we got it. We have had it for about 5-6 months or so, and it seems like it isn't eating. It's midsection is really thin with a lot of loose skin, it looks like it's sunken in. We bought some calcium powder to dust crickets with. We just dump in 1 dozen crickets and he eats them when he wants throughout the week. We do have a working heat rock on one side. Do we need to feed him something other that crickets, or does anyone know of something that may be wrong with him?

I always see posts where someone will remark about religious people being unthinking. Why? Is this a stereo-type people have bought into without thinking about it? Many of the worlds greatest thinkers in Philosophy and Science have been deeply religious, how does that tie in? If someone disagrees with a major current scientific theory, does that mean they didn't think about it? Did everyone who does believe in a current theory think through all of the challenges to and implications of the theory? If not, are they just unquestioning herd followers themselves? I wonder what makes a person so self-sure cocky about their own beliefs that they ridicule others. Isn't this non-thinking, follow-the-crowd mentality? If there is a consensus among scientists about a certain subject, at a certain time, that make it unquestionable to the point that disbelief is a personal shortcoming or heresy? Are the strongest adherents to current scientific thought just zealots too? Seriously?

I've met people that have had interesting lives, but are boring people. But I've also met people that have average lives and they are very interesting and compelling. What is it in a person that maskes them mysterious and compelling. An interesting person that you want to know more?

The Quran on Mountains:
A book entitled Earth is a basic reference textbook in many universities around the world. One of its two authors is Professor Emeritus Frank Press. He was the Science Advisor to former US President Jimmy Carter, and for 12 years was the President of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC. His book says that mountains have underlying roots.1 These roots are deeply embedded in the ground, thus, mountains have a shape like a peg (see figures 7, 8, and 9).





Figure 7: Mountains have deep roots under the surface of the ground. (Earth, Press and Siever, p. 413.)





Figure 8: Schematic section. The mountains, like pegs, have deep roots embedded in the ground. (Anatomy of the Earth, Cailleux, p. 220.) (Click on the image to enlarge it.)





Figure 9: Another illustration shows how the mountains are peg-like in shape, due to their deep roots. (Earth Science, Tarbuck and Lutgens, p. 158.) (Click on the image to enlarge it.)


This is how the Quran has described mountains. God has said in the Quran:

Have We not made the earth as a bed, and the mountains as pegs? (Quran, 78:6-7)

Modern earth sciences have proven that mountains have deep roots under the surface of the ground (see figure 9) and that these roots can reach several times their elevations above the surface of the ground.2 So the most suitable word to describe mountains on the basis of this information is the word ‘peg,’ since most of a properly set peg is hidden under the surface of the ground. The history of science tells us that the theory of mountains having deep roots was introduced only in the latter half of the nineteenth century.3

Mountains also play an important role in stabilizing the crust of the earth.4 They hinder the shaking of the earth. God has said in the Quran:

And He has set firm mountains in the earth so that it would not shake with you... (Quran, 16:15)

Likewise, the modern theory of plate tectonics holds that mountains work as stabilizers for the earth. This knowledge about the role of mountains as stabilizers for the earth has just begun to be understood in the framework of plate tectonics since the late 1960’s.5

Could anyone during the time of the Prophet Muhammad have known of the true shape of mountains? Could anyone imagine that the solid massive mountain which he sees before him actually extends deep into the earth and has a root, as scientists assert? A large number of books of geology, when discussing mountains, only describe that part which is above the surface of the earth. This is because these books were not written by specialists in geology. However, modern geology has confirmed the truth of the Quranic verses.

That she could trust the President of the United States to be forthright to the Congress and the American public - but has learned since that time that neither she nor the American public can trust him?

I think America would buy that story!
