With powerful telescopes we zoom past the first galaxies, to a time everything was heavily concentrated in the small existing volume. And we keep on going, but without telescopes. In our minds, we try to piece the puzzle together, We reach likely conclusions, such that the universe now springs from an infinitesimal point. Zero.

But let's say we keep peering back in time. We cross the milli, the micro, the nano. Always getting closer, we approach the pico, the femto, the atto. Much nearer that infinitesimal, sizeless instance we move past the zepto and the yocto.

And we keep going, in this fashion. Always getting closer to "zero"...but, maybe, without ever getting there. As if traversing a logarithmic function - time on the x axis; the order of magnitude of volume, if you will, on the y

Can we conclude this first instant ISN'T undefined, like log(0)? That, while we can keep approaching the instant when the universe was infinitesimal...we can never actually reach such a "zero" point?

Bush is harrassed daily by people that will not even give him the benefit of doubt on his belief that a free Iraq can actually lead to change for the better in the middle east.

Change cant happen over night but come on people. I am a democrat and personally it bothers me that many on the right and left dont realize that Dictatorships are counter productive and create human rights violations carried out legally in any particular country.

Iraq was a great place to start. It is the HEART of the middle east. Im not saying lets go to war with every country but lets set goals in promoting freedom and liberty because in the end you wont have to go to war with these dictatorships, but their own people will demand change.

Just a technical question here ... specifically about gay males and sex. Do gay guys used enemas often so if and when they "do what they do", there's not a lot of "mess" involved?

I don't want to be too graphic, but if you've read this far I think you know what I mean ... is that "mess" just a part of it that gay guys have to deal with, "heat-of-the-moment" style, or would that just be bad hygiene and or planning? I would imagine it would take the romance right out of it, but I wouldn't know.

This question is being asked with sincere curiousity. Thank you.

The guy i've been dating for 11/2 months just completely stopped talking to me. Last time I saw him he told me he was only dating me and I told him I was only dating him too. He said he wanted this relationship to the next level. Since we both have strong feelings for each other, I totally agreed with him. Well, a few days after our talk, I felt like he was totally blowing me off. When I would call him he said it wasnt a good time and he would call me back. I did this for about 3 days and he never returned any of my calls. He did call me back after I had sent him a sweet text msg on his phone. Then said he would call me back in a few days. Well, it's been a week since our last conversation. What do you think happened? Did he change his mind about us being more serious and is afraid of commitment? He 's the one that brought up this topic. I'm soo depressed. I really do miss him and I don't want to call/txt him bcuz I don't want to seem pushy.

I am building a computer for basically internet use, no gaming. It is reasonably high end in components but not sure at what point getting a better video card is a waste. Since it is not for gaming would a cheap card work just as well as a high end graphics, 3D, gaming card? You know the old saying, it is only as fast as the slowest component. Don't want to waste money but don't want any bottle neck also. I have PCI Express slots and would use that for the video card.

The will of GOD is not three in one.

The will of God is monotheistic and the Trinity is polytheistic.

Why is it that when Satan, (Lucifer, the devil, or demons). is confronted by Jesus Christ, he always recognizes Jesus and identifies him as LORD?
If Satan himself recognizes this, why doesn't all mankind also recognize this and admit Jesus is Lord?

I have tried using audio software like Goldwave and others but it is either bewilderingly complex, and hard to figure out for a non-audio-techie, or the voice-frequencies do not get totally eliminated.
