Science is not a religion, therefore you can't "believe" in it, and I as a Christian am not going to assume that I am omnipotent and that I understand everything that the bible says, EVER. So why this black and white debate, like it's a religion war? How about just trying to find out, it's a very interesting subject!

They have really similar plots. I mean, I know they have different definitions, but what I'm really asking is how to say whether a book is an arcane thriller or murder mystery. Let's just say someone gave you a novel and asked you to distinguish it. I don't have a specific novel in mind; I'm just curious.

I tend to like alternative classics like JD Salinger and Robert Pirsig, but starting this book has already ventured into vomiting and bestiality - things I'm just not interested in being exposed to. Why is this regarded as a modern classic? The prose isn't especially brilliant, and the main character rather grotesque. I can't really understand why Walker Percy found its beginning stimulating enough to find out it is a "great" novel. The rant against modernism was ok but will that be enough to bother going on? I'm only about 30-40 pages in.

Either it is your next project or your great goal in life, your dream or just a thought, an intention or a 'must do', would you like to talk about it?

Doubt is what prevents anything from being possible?

Doubt could be in place to keep everything together?

Imagine what could happen if we really could believe anything with no Doubts at all?
Did the universal mind create doubt to keep everything stable?

Lol just thinking, so its ok if you don’t have a clue what i'm saying. Am interested in the answers I will get, if I get any at all. thankyou if you do decide to answer.

Do the Atoms that make us up, and the Solar system around us hold fundamental similarities?

Solar Systems group together to ultimately make the universe.. as do atoms to make cells...

Could there be multiple universes, just as there are multiple cells?

Could we be part of something on a scale incomprehensible to the human mind?

i have a few questions and i'd be very happy if someone could answer. thanx
- what are the ways to break the ice if you have no prior experience, where and how to start
- can you make a living out of it, suppose you write for several magazines, can this be your full time job
- if you're an english major, what are the topics you can write on - just fiction/philosophy/world affairs? is this in high demand so you can earn enough money to support yourself. thanx a lot

This poetic melody has been stuck in my Yahoo poems for months. So, I made it a thing.

The Yahuka

The syllable count is:
3
6
9
3

The Rhyme scheme
A
A
B
A

The third line must contain an internal rhyme.

Comme ainsi, mes camarades de classe:

*****
We can fly
Loop the loop in the sky
Dip and dive, we’re alive in the clouds
You and I
*****

I'm really interested in acting and I have been since a young age.
I've read about a lot of university courses and courses for 18+ students and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what there opinion of a drama course they/someone they know went on and how they found it, good or really useful? etc.

As there are many courses to choose from.

I know you have to have some pretty good grades, to apply for some and so if anyone could give me an opinion on how they found working up to get the grades was, hard but worth it in the end? No good, would try another etc.

I won't be able to enter a drama course at college until i'm 16 next year, but I have found a course that I can do then.

So in advance I would appreciate people's opinions on drama university courses, for when I've completed the college course.

Thank you, for any future answers.

Take away television, internet, religion, science, government, culture, tradition, (put us all back in the rainforest and erase our minds from all these influences) and then how will we behave? We will return to innocence, be cooperative, loving and free of mental issues and live up to the title of the "most advanced" animal species that we are supposed to be?

If so, will we still each have our unique behaviours and "personalities" and expressions? Certainly even small animals exhibit their own unique ways of behaving, even very shortly after being born.

Could there be a natural "me" lying underneath all of the social "conditioning"?
