The full title of the book is

"On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life"

I was just wondering what the word "Race" is in reference to in the book - did he mean Human Race or the different races of todays world or OTHER. Please only if you read it, not guessing.

Devout Catholic parents, lose their child in Portugal after she is kidnapped... Sad story. It truly is a shame...


My question is: Who in their right MINDS would leave a 4 year old child alone in a hotel room with twin 2-year-olds - in a foreign country at that???

Granted, their religion has no bearing on the fact that this child was probably kidnapped. However, their level of stupidity does play a role - had the children been with them, she would not have been kidnapped. Chances are, the girl left the hotel room alone and was kidnapped - so as to make the crime one of opportunity.

These parents have no one but themselves to blame. But, of course, instead of taking responsibility for their own actions (or lack thereof), it is easier to blame this on EVIL...

A woman works 5 days a week and brings home a paycheck. Her spouse does all house chores, the food shopping, all cooking and cleaning. Is this an inequitable relationship because the woman's spouse doesn't bring home a paycheck?

First, let me clarify that I am an atheist flirting with deism (for lack of a better term).
I'm reading C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity", and I'm intrigued by his premise that humans' "moral compass", our inherent since of right and wrong, is proof of a just god.
So, I've been thinking, what is my own justification for living a moral life. Being a good person just for the sake of it doesn't really seem to fit any sort of survival prerogative.
Similarly, what would an evolutionist say about why humans developed morals? If we are essentially no different than an animal, then why don't we act like animals (I know, a lot of us do, but they are in the minority). For example, a lion wouldn't "feel bad" if he stole the kill from a rival lion. Heck, he wouldn't feel bad if he had to kill that rival lion in order to steal his kill. So, why did we evolve beyond that type of base survival instinct?

I just got my license and am shopping for a helmet. Women's helmets are generally more expensive for the same features. Since our heads are basically the same, is there a difference between the two beside pricing? Thanks!

I had been off birth control for a while, and recently I realized that I would have my period for the week that I was on vacation. I started a pack of pills right in the middle of my cycle because I thought it would make me skip my period. Well, it didn't work out like that at all, I've actually now had my period for 10 days. I've continued to take the pills, I'm not sure if i should stop for a few days then start back up again, or what. Any advice is appreciated !!!! THANKS

The same gravity that pulls the surface of the earth in also pulls out at a certian point [gravitational equalibrium]. centrifugal force causes thicker section on the equator thus thinner on the poles other wise you would weigh many times more on the poles.

OK my wonderful byf of 8 mo has a bit of a jealous streak. It is in no way out of control and he's very good about it. I never realized it because I never really had a very healthy relationship before, but I have a jealous streak as well. A few nights back, we went out together with some friends, he doesn't ignore me and he's okay with subtle signs of PDA & me too - nothing overboard. ANyways as we were leaving he ran into this woman he usto know and was chatting for about ten minutes and did not introduce me. I am sure that this woman is no threat at all & I am very confident in his love for me, but do men really do this. I was pretty jealous that he did not even introduce me to her & this is the first time it's happened, but I was surprised that I would feel this way & I don't know how to explain it or tell him how it made me feel, he knew I was jealous because I grabbed his hand and gave him a tug - so he knew, but whats up with it?
