Actually I'm a fully qualified scientist and also qualified in religious studies, so I should know..
I have seen the evidence both in my heart and in the field, and have concluded that the creation myth is a hoax and a danger to peace on Earth. And that those who embrace mainstream scientific principles and understandings are our best hope for the future.
People who think like me are the only ones who have morals.
There's also been a study done to prove this is true.
There's also heaps of proof this is so.
The proof I have is in my faith that it's true.
There's been other studies done showing why the creation myth is exactly that, a myth.
More and more people are becoming atheist, and everybody needs to become one.
All the studues done show this to be true.
I know the truth because it's in my heart, and my faith only confirms this..
May the natural sciences bless your mind.

[of course, the REAL arguments in favour of mainstream science are more complex and verifiable]

Just wondering if some of you also wonder about this:

What is Light?
What is Darkness?
Is light good, and darkness bad?

What is Something?
What is Nothing?
Is something good, and nothing bad?

Thanks for your comments.

i've heard that people went missing because the corals there produced a lot of gas, and the pressure caused machinery to go haywire. also, some electromagnetic force made the compasses and stuff act strange. is this true? are there any other theories? (besides the alien one of course)

If so, at what point of complexity does our matter acquire sanctity? Atomic, molecular, genetic or cellular? Or does that sanctity relate only to vital organs and their constituents?
Does our matter suddenly lose its sanctity when expelled from the human body? Or would that depend on its potential importance to other humans?
And does the matter that makes up the human corpse retain its sanctity? Even after it has been ingested by worms?
"Sanctity" in this context need not exclusively refer to the religious concept of sanctity, but also to e.g. the view widely held by humanists that human life is sacred.

I recently received a collections letter from an old lease I broke almost 5 years ago - I assume it's from a company who bought the debt from another. My friend & I had rented a place together from a private landlord (not a company), and our names were both on the lease. The collections letter in my possession lists my name and someone else's who I've never heard of before. I can only assume it was the roommate my friend brought in after I left, or a total stranger. Either way, this is not the person who I originally signed the lease with. Another concern is that my SSN is listed in plain text along with the unknown person's number. I can only assume the other person has received the same letter and has enough information at her disposal to commit identity theft. (name, SSN, and current address).

The lease amount was on my credit for the longest time, and has now disappeared. Will the new recovery efforts place it back on my report?

Any suggestions on what I should do?Thanks

we married and seperated 6 months later. I filed for divorce 2 years later. At the time I told the judge my husband is not the father of my then 2 yr old son. He court ordered my husband to take and pay for a paternity test. This was 15 years ago and he finally did it, now that my son is almost 17. Now that the test is done is my divorce still valid?...or do I have to start all over again and come up with all of that money again?..I live in Michigan.

According to Genesis Chapter 2:Verse 17 it states God as saying "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou (o Adam) shalt not eat of it; for IN THE DAY that thou eatest thereof thou shalt SURELY DIE." But in Genesis Chapter 3:Verse 4 it states "And the serpent (Satan) said unto the woman (Eve), Ye Shall NOT SURELY DIE." this was when Satan was tempting Eve to eat of the tree. Now....let's go to Genesis Chapter 5:Verse 5 and it states " And all the days that Adam LIVED were NINE HUNDRED AND THIRTY YEARS"

Why or why not?
Does the separation of church and state have any validity on this issue?

Okay, so here is the situation so far. I bought french doors at the local Home Depot on a weekend. I asked that I be called about the 'measuring' appointment before I left town the following Wednesday. I got the call Wednesday evening around 8 pm (they left voice mail) after I had already left. I get back and one other voice mail had been left on Sunday evening (which I found odd). I called when I returned on Wednesday, I didn't get a call back Wednesday. Finally got a call back late Thursday. The guy that is supposed to measure for the door says.. "I can come tomorrow", but I had to go back to work that day... he said he could measure from the outside of the house while I was at work. When I got home from work I could find no evidence he'd measured. I received no call from Home Depot about paying for the balance on the door or for scheduling the installation. I called Saturday morning, and was told they would 'leave a message' for the measuring guy (more in details).

The recent bill which was passed in the house, but is set for veto by GWB,(http://www.yahoo.com/s/608546), aimed to ease restrictions on federal funding for stem cell research. It also outlined a policy for which stem cells could be obtained, stored, and usage....whereas, they would have to be harvested from embryo's that would have been otherwise discarded anyway, and with the donor's consent. This is where I do not understand the argument against stem cell harvesting. Procedures such as invetro-fertilization, which is very common, produces hundreds of embryo's which are subsequently destroyed. These are the very embryo's that scientists want to use.

My question is.....if they are going to be destroyed in the bio-medical waste container anyway....why shouldn't they be used to help find cures for diseases and possibly save thousands of lives ?

Where is George W. Bush's logic on this ? We all get that he is pro-life, but I have yet to hear a valid argument on stem cell issues.
