I have a great respect for the intelligence of atheists on this site. As a Christian, you have challenged me by far to acquire knowledge so that I do not appear ignorant as the majority of Christians in the world do.

I also hear a lot of talk about Christians needing to read books by atheists, and whenever it is realized that most Christians haven't, atheists claim they are afraid. (My library won't give me a card because I am a temporary resident in the city, thus Dawkins and Harris must wait two weeks to be read. I have watched "The God Who Wasn't There" though and took 3 pages of typed notes.)

So my question is, what books written by Christians on the subject of science and atheism have you read lately? If you haven't, then why not? If you have, what did you like or dislike about them?

hair blowing behind you
like black silk ribbons,
laughing with crying eyes.
You hug me tight,
our hair mixing like day and night,
side by side,
when we're together,we fly like two butterflies
on a warm summer day
let's pray
that this day never ends
and we'll always be friends,
just holding hands,
in a golden dance let's play while we're young,
let's have fun
under the setting sun
and
if it falls on us,
you
and I
will fly.
Let's lie
under the stars at night,
the moon can be
our light.
eyes twinkling.
let's play with the
velvety black sky,
and smell the smell
of dark scary nothing.
We can be friends forever
or until the end of
today.
Watching the sunrise together,
remembering giggling with you,
laughing,crying,talk of dying
old and grey,one day.
or maybe we can live forever.

A friend of mine owns a club and would like to stop people using mobiles in there. I know that signal jammers are illegal here in the UK so is there any other options available? I have read a little on RF absorbing materials, would something like this be possible? Maybe fitting something to that walls/roof perhaps

Thanks in advance

My family and I are planning to get a dog sometime this summer, but we are not yet sure about the breed, we have a smallish house, and my mom wants a dog that is medium to small sized (smaller than a golden retriever) but my dad does not want a toy dog, and we preferable want a nonshedding dog that doesnt have any special excersize needs, just like one or two walks a day. any recomendations?

Well my face is puffy and my lip is swolen and it feels like I have bubbles all over it, but there is nothing there. All my friends have it after we went to the beach yesterday and we didn't keep reaplying sunscreen. Do you know what this is and how to treat it.

i got the response for my earlier question about eyelid muscle disorders, however, as mentioned in the answers, there is no such condition as diabetes, myasthenia gravis or recent episode of stroke etc. this condition is there from birth however, no one else in the family has this condition, not even distant relatives. However, the difference between the two eyes has reduced gradually, but is not completely gone and is still quite conspicuous. no other eye complications are seen. is that still ptosis or something else?

I know kids tease one another over funny sounding names etc.

If you have anything unique about your name...have you learned to live with it? Or changed it? Or do you just ignore people who make fun of it.

I personally changed my first name...actually my grandma did, I was named after her...so I never really got teased as she gave me an abbreviated version of her name, nice and normal sounding in this "foreign" country, claiming one of her was enough....LOL
