My sister is turning 40 and I can't think of the just right gift for her. She is married and they are financially very comfortable and she is able to buy pretty much whatever she wants and does. I however am on a pretty small budget but want to get her something special. I have already over done the coupons, massages, scrapbooks, baby sitting offers, etc. I am stumped. Her husband is throwing her a huge surprise party which I am helping organize but when it comes to the gift I am at a loss. If anyone can provide some ideas or inspiration I would be so grateful.

Everything is caused by something other than itself.
Therefore the universe was caused by something other than itself.
The string of causes cannot be infinitely long.
If the string of causes cannot be infinitely long, there must be a first cause.
Therefore, there must be a first cause, namely God.
Everything that has a beginning in time has a cause.
The universe had a beginning in time.
Therefore, the universe has a cause.
The only thing that could have caused the universe is God (because the cause has to be spaceless and timeless).
Those who disagree with this argument do not believe there was a beginning of time. Doubters believe that the scientific account of the big bang did not occur as empirically proven by science, rather there was time infinitely in the past.
The human mind is unable to image a universe where there is no space and time. Image a box that has nothing in it. The space in that box is empty, but this does not mean that there is no space in the box. The same with time; imagine a universe where there is no time that flows linearly. It is impossible to image. The way our minds interpret our experience is by having space and having time. Those who believe that time is infinite, call upon their human experience, which tells them that imagining the contrary is impossible.

New scientific evidence from Time Magazine in June 2001 shows that the big bang occurred 15 billion years ago. Before the big bang there was no space and time. It is impossible for our human minds to comprehend what happened before the big bang, refer to the box again, we can only think of empty space not no space. It is also impossible for us to think of time that does not flow literarily. Time started when the big bang occurred and the big bang occurred everywhere at one time. Then all the matter and energy that the universe can use during its existence was created at the time the big bang occurred. A type of anti-matter pushes all the galaxies and solar systems away from each other. The speed at which this occurs is constantly getting faster, pushing galaxies and solar systems further and further apart. But these galaxies and solar systems are not moving into space that never existed. Outer space must be thought of as having positive curvature. A good way to image the way outer space is shaped by taking a piece of paper and making both ends touch each other. If something traveled in a straight line going further and further into space, it would in theory end up back where it started. So again in theory, a galaxy could end up exactly where it started at the dawn of time if it kept moving in the same direction. This will not happen because before this could occur, all the energy that the big bang created will be used up. Eventually the universe would enter a dark era. The only thing that will be left is cosmic waste. There will be no light and no energy 10^100 trillion years from now, just burnt-out cylinders of stars and dead planets. Eventually, all the matter will collapse into black holes then the black holes will disintegrate that matter into particles. These particles will bind together to form big atoms larger than the size of our universe. That’s the end. There will still be space, there will still be time, and there was a beginning to both. Something must have caused this universe to exist and the cause has to be both spaceless and timeless. The cause had to have been able to function where there is no space, which is unimaginable, and with no time which is also unimaginable.

It was not a freak coincidence that life can flourish on Earth and there was a cause to the universe that our planet is apart of. Barr showed evidence of how anthropic coincidences such the process of how chemicals came into existence and the necessity of quantum mechanics were both needed to function exactly as they do to allow life to exist. With scientific evidence showing how the universe both began and how it will end proves that the universe had a beginning in time but will have no end in time. Everything with a beginning in time has a first cause that the first cause of the universe had to be both timeles

Sorry, I respect the United States, but I'm trully dissapointed about its behavior. Also, what would the people in Europe think if suddenly, the people of France decide to call themselves "Europeans" (just as an example)? Well is just an analogy to the term "American".
I feel "American" pride so arrogant, as if they were the owners of the world (maybe they are), but you know, there something called modesty out there. Also, they say they fight for "liberty", but what they don't say is that they gain liberty by denignating other nations and killing people in their wars (and their wars is just a way to gain more income). They controll and manipule by extorsion on poor countries that didn't had the same luck as Guatemala, Panama, Jamaica (etc.) with their CIA organizations and organized revolutions to revoke the official government.
So many things to say.... sorry but I dont' have the time to enlist them all.

It states in the book of john that the word, meaning jesus became flesh and dwelt among us.
This means christians, the word is god and not the bible.
I'm an atheist, who never really reads the bible, but I understand it better than you deluded christians.
Please stay tuned for lesson 6 in atheism conquers christianity.

im sure a good # of you chew gum but my question has to deal with the options of gum

sugarless - good but almost too good to be true, the synthetic sugar substitutes warrant a freaking *warning on the package, that always raised my eyebrow, but since no one else seems to care and no real studies have shown their carcinogenic qualities, (or maybe they have but not been publicized to my knowledge) i chew it anyway

then again with regular sugared gum you bypass all of that ambiguity BUT youre chewing on sugar which could cause dental issues if you cant brush or floss, etc.

so in your hopefully expert opinion, considering the possible adverse effects of fake sugar, which would be the better choice, lets say i only chew one type of gum everyday, under which gum choice do you think id live the longest?

An appeals court in Kansas has concluded that just being an illegal alien in the United States doesn't necessarily violate the law. The act of crossing the border is illegal, but, not being int he USA without papers.

[Federal law] declares an alien's unsanctioned entry into the United States to be a crime. While Congress has criminalized illegal entry into this country, it has not made the continued presence of an illegal alien in the United States a crime unless the illegal alien has previously been deported and has again entered this country illegally," the court opinion said. "[Federal law] makes it a felony for an alien who has been deported to thereafter reenter the United States or at anytime thereafter be found in the United States."

Minnesota & Oregon have similar legislation.

Also, the penalty for being here illegally is deportation- not jail time.

For some reason, I don't follow most girl's sense of logic. They want someone nice, someone who would be there for them, someone successful, someone who can make them laugh. Basically, they want someone who will love them. If someone loves them though, that person needs to be desperate for them to a certain degree, don't you agree? However, once girls get the idea that the guy is desperate for them, girls will want to get away from him. I don't get that.
