You are a space explorer cataloging two newly discovered planets. The majority of the inhabitants of each planet believe in a deity, but they are two different deities. Deity "X" is said to be not only all-powerful, all-loving, and all-knowing, but the designer of a marvelously complex and ordered world. Deity "Y" is said to be indifferent, absent, unconcerned with the affairs of his planet, and some even say evil. Which god rules over which planet?

Planet A: Has achieved a state of advanced benign equilibrium where there are no viruses or diseases, and only a very small number of natural disasters, which, when they do strike, always eliminate only the sinful and evil. The inhabitants, both plant and animal, have learned to maintain their existence through photosynthesis, and thus do not have to kill and eat each other in order to survive. There are no "birth defects;" every inhabitant comes into existence perfectly formed and equipped for a long and productive life.
Deity X?
Deity Y?

Prolonged drought along the Yangtze has reduced China's longest river to record lows, triggering a debate over the Three Gorges dam's ability to generate power, state-media said yesterday.
The Yangtze fell to its lowest level last yrs since records began in 1877, but a dam official told the Xinhua news agency that power generation in the Three Gorges area would not be affected.
"There have never been two successive yrs when a serious drop in the amount of water flowing into the mainstream of the Yangtze has occurred," said the official. "So, I believe it is unlikely there will be a significant drop in the in flow of water into the Three Gorges Reservoir from the upper reaches this year."
Buy observers say such arguments are based on historical data and fail to consider the more recent issue of climate change.
Over 2.6 million people upsteam from the dam have been facing water shortages since late February, according to the agency.

In the movie "Watership Down" How did the rabbit Holly end up in Efrafa before he found Hazel and the other rabbits. It seems impossible because Efrafa is way beyond Watership Down. Even though none of that is in the book. How did he get all the way over there?

I believed in evolution theory. The late Carl sagan was my hero

When he said touching trees " trees are not our direct relatives" He looked like a messiah who knows the secret of universe . Truly fascinated my innocent heart.

But now I dont give as much credit on the evolution theory as I did before.

From the first life form to the complicated human being ,evolution explains the progress so poorly.

each connection was supported by the imagination of the scientists themselves.(Its my view)

the theory tells The birth of first life form was happened

when cosmic chemical ooze met with freaky lightenings.

So our father was the cosmic chemical ooze.

When I was a boy it looked wonderful , now sounds like the fairy tale of connan
.For the theory to be perfect ,our virtue of soul including the never ending quest for truth of scientists must be explained by the paradigm of the theory.But theory says we only deal with physical aspect. Its disappointing cause our doubt comes from our physical brain I wonder now I am no more atheist.How about you?

I am only 30 years old but I have had 5 children. I do Kegel exercises but it doesn't help much. This problem is embarassing when I sneeze, cough, or laugh too hard. It seems to have gotten worse since my last child was born. Any serious advice would be appreciated.

My 4 years old died about 4 months ago from cancer and none of the family dealt with it well especially me.I left for 3 months about a month after the funeral because I couldn't cope being reminded of him everywhere I went.I had very little contact with my son because I requested that my husband only contacted me in case of emergency while I was away.Now I'm back and my son's acting very distant.How do I help him cope now that I've had some time away to deal with it myself?

1. Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed.
2. The Jews were exiled.
3. Israel did become a wasteland.
4. The Jews were (and still are) scattered worldwide.
5. The Jews have been persecuted worldwide.
6. The Jews have had a tremendous worldwide impact.
7. The Jews, and their national identity, have been preserved.
8. The Jews are returning to their ancient homeland.
9. Enemies of the Jews are residing in their homeland.
10. The Jews do have Israel again as their own country.

In Isaiah 66:7-8, the prophet foreshadowed the re-birth of Israel. Isaiah describes a woman giving birth before going into labor, and he speaks of a country being born in one day. This accurately describes what happened on May 14, 1948 - when the Jews declared independence for Israel as a united and sovereign nation for the first time in 2900 years.

During that same day, the United States issued a statement recognizing Israel's sovereignty. And, only hours beforehand, a United Nations mandate expired, ending British control of the land. During a 24-hour span of time, foreign control of the land of Israel had formally ceased, and Israel had declared its independence, and its independence was acknowledged by other nations. Modern Israel literally was born in a single day.

Isaiah also said the birth would take place before there would be labor pains. And that too is precisely what happened. A movement called Zionism began in the 1800s to encourage Jews worldwide to move to Israel, which at that time was called Palestine. When the Jews declared sovereignty in 1948, the declaration did not follow a war for independence, but rather a war for independence followed the declaration. The birth was peaceful, the aftermath was painful. Within hours of the declaration, Israel was attacked by Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Israel prevailed in that war and expanded the size of the country by 50 percent.

I'm reading through these comments on here and it seems to be that everyone is blaming America for these British soldiers getting captured. Why is that? It was a Iran who captured British soldiers. Come on people we are Americans, act like it.
