According to classical Greek religion, Chaos existed in the beginning, and then gave birth to Gaia (the Earth), Tartarus (the Underworld), Eros (desire), Nyx (the darkness of the night) and Erebus (the darkness of the Underworld). I know you might be dissuaded by the all the mythical creatures mentioned in our Holy texts such as the hydra and the gorgon (medusa) but they can obviously be translated to dinosaurs. See the word dinosaur was coined in the 1800s so the Greeks didn't have the exact word to describe all the giant reptiles.

So why don't you atheists accept creationism!?

This comparison just dawned on me and I was amazed at its aptness. Atheists are like the mutants on X-Men because we have progressed beyond the need to believe in imaginary concepts and the need to have a moral code based on a primitive ideology. Just like the mutants have evolved beyond the limitations of a typical human body and also, like the mutants, atheists are a distinct minority (in the USA, that is).

The mutants have split into two distinct groups – Xavier’s crew try to promote peace between mutants and non-mutants whilst Magneto’s crew hatch evil plans and are hell-bent on terrorizing non-mutants. Atheists seem to have split the same way as well because there are some that accept that they are a minority and don’t try to push their non-belief onto people who still do believe. These are like Xavier’s crew whilst the ones like Magneto’s crew use every opportunity to ridicule the absurd beliefs and primitive ideologies of the god-believers.

I’d either be a Magneto type figure of at least part of his crew; which one would you be?

I think that she likes me but then she will do something that makes me unsure.
-she sometimes avoids eye contact with me.She says its because its makes her laugh when she looks at me (no there is nothing wrong with my face)
-she never initiates a convo between us or is the 1st one to say hi
-she says mean things to me often like calling me names
-her good friends sometimes act wierd like when something is said or when me and my crush disagree on something little they will smile at me and her. Also one time her friend said to us ‘your like a married couple’. And a couple of times when I’ve asked my crush for help with homework her friend has said ‘maybe you should go to (my crush’s name) house’.One time my crushes best friend was walking home alone ( they usually walk together) and I asked ‘Wheres ____?’ and her friend said she finished early and that she was heading over to her house now and then she added with a smile ‘you’d like to come, wouldn’t you Danno?’.I asked what made her say that and she said ‘nothing’.Also when we got back from holidays I told my crush that I was gonna visit her at her work but I didn’t coz I thought she wouldn’t want to see me.Then she said she probably would have only been doing a floor check so she wouldn’t have been doing much.
-She sometimes ignores me like i'll be waiting outside class by myself and when she comes instead of waiting with me she'll pretend she doesn't notice me and go wait somewhere else even though shes by herself.And one time during lunch a few of us were sitting and talking and then everyone besides us 2 leave to go do something and when we were alone she turned her back on me and watched other people in the yard muck around
and ignored me til her friends got back. When some got back they asked were everyone went then my crush said ‘they left me all by myself’ and then after a few seconds she said ‘oh, I mean they left us by ourselves’
-She smiles to herself when i do something nice for her or say something sweet to her
-But alot of the time she acts like shes not interested
-She stares at me when i say something even though i'm joking
-And whenever i try to talk to her she never puts any effort into the convo even though she does with everyone else and she doesn't seem interested
-i don't act any differently with her than what i do with other people. I mean i've done nice things for her and complimented her but i do the same for other people
-One time when we were walking 2 class I complimented her and she laughed a bit and when we got to a friend of ours they asked us whats up and then she looped her arm around mine and said that we were lovers.Shes only done this once though.We are at the end of 11th grade
-she says she is mean to me coz I’m annoying but even her friends don’t understand why she thinks I’m annoying coz I’m not
-she acts differently with me than with other friends
Do u think she likes me or do u think she knows i like her but doesn't feel the same?

..."the constitution is just a g@d d@mn'd piece of paper"? I don't care for president Bush my self tho he served his country in uniform & I do admire that about him. But really, could any body be that void of common sense, ESPECIALLY the president of the United States of America??? I'm not sticking up for president Bush but I'm finding it hard to believe that ANY elected official would ever verbally say such a thing in front of others. I mean Mike Tyson has enough brains to know better than that & he can't even stay out of jail. Fabricated propaganda or truth? Got the info fill me in boys!

I am planning to stay a hotel that is located at 215 W. 34th St. (bet. 7th & 8th). Is this a safe area? I have heard that as long as I stay below the 100's then it is decent.

I have another cat, and I'm keeping them separated so my older cat doesn't get fleas. I gave them both an application of Advantage earlier today. The new persian is in the bathroom, and there's no carpets or anything in there, except for a towel for him. What should I use to clean the bathroom while he's in there, and get rid of the fleas?

Okay, I'll give you this: Norv Turner is a HORRIBLE coach and Phillip Rivers is obviously backsliding under Norve Turner's new system. Our offense looked horrible, Rivers got booed at the end of the game, and Ladainian Tomlinson looked just as shocked as everybody else when we pulled off Sunday Night's victory.

But I am getting SICK of all the bullshyt excuses and talk about how BADLY the Colts played instead of the focus being on where it needs to be: How awesome was San Diego's special teams and defense? Count em SIX interceptions (3 from Antonio Cromarite which make 6 in the last two games alone) and 2 kick returns from Darren Sproles for touchdowns! So why is the focus not on them?

I HATE it when a good team loses, but the winning team doesn't get any of the credit. Maybe nobody noticed, but San Diego's offense was almost as bad as the Colts! So why doesn't San Diego deserve any credit for the win?

We just put new tile in the kitchen and because the tile is darker, it seems to make the cabinets look yellowish...I'm looking for suggestions for a color to paint the kitchen walls that will tone down the yellow.

I used watch it when I was younger, so I don't remember much about it. I remember it was kind of like that movie "Little Monsters" it has the same feel to it if that makes sense. A baby gets kidnapped and I think the baby's sister goes into a different world to save it. It was probably made in the 90s but I could be wrong. I would really like to find out what movie it was. I know this isn't much to go on but any answers will be appreciated.

Or to My Girl Friends Kitchen? I understand these places do all the prep work, peeling, dicing, chopping, and the food is placed in large containers, and a receipe for a main course hung up, along with a desert receipe. And you measure the ingrediets for the main course, say three main courses, and mix and put them into plastic containers and then wrap them up, seal, tape and label them and then take them home and put them in your freezer, to be taken out later and eaten. I understand you can do as many as you wish.
If any of you have done this, were the meals good, well thought out, expensive. Would you do it again?

During my time there I witnessed a lot of unethical behavior some of it illegal. Our division manager wants us to report anything that doesn't seam right to him. The reason I didn't do it before is because he intimidated me into keeping quit. I really want to report him so someone else doesn't have to go through what I went throu. I have a lot of proof and some witnesses Has anyone done anything like that before? Can I get in any legal trouble over it?

I mean come on, we all know there are three "O's" left in the puzzle, but these people feel compelled to buy them anyway.
When I see, "S_mewhere _ver The Rainb_w", I don't feel compelled to spend more money, I'm looking for the pot of gold. Please tell me the producers strongly encourage this behavior so the home viewers who may have problems figuring out the puzzles can feel like they win too... Otherwise I suspect these contestants enjoy the possibility of helping the other contestants win or spend hours flushing money down their toilets at home....
