Many historians including Vegetius, Gibbon and A. Ferril have theorized that a great factor in the demise of the Roman Empire was the "barbarisation" of its armies, meaning the outsourcing of the military and thereby the loss of civic virtue.
Currently we see the gradual privatization and outsourcing of the American military. Is that a harbringer of the decline of the American Empire?

There are a lot of arguments, such as Aristotle's prime mover argument, that concludes that there must be a starting point, or a source for all things. I think that there most likely is.

But why is that thing intelligent? Isn't intelligence a way of relating to a universe greater than yourself? By definition, there is nothing Greater than God. so what is his 'brain' like? Our intelligence is made of matter, and possibly a soul, both of which require a force outside of ourselves. What force is outside of God? On what universal chalkboard are his thoughts recorded on?

What’s more likely….way back when, in a sea of cytoplasmic goo, a bunch of atoms got together and said….we are now a cell….that cell said….I’m gonna take some amino acids and string 100 to a 1000 or so together and make some enzymes (I think I’ll need around 1000 of these enzymes or so) and I’ll use these enzymes to carry out chemical reactions vital to my survival….I’ll need a membrane and within that membrane wall, I’ll create tiny little pumps, such as a sodium and potassium and calcium pumps that transfer materials in and out of me……..then that cell decided it needed some friends to hang out with, so when a few more of these cells got together, they said we’ll come together and create an organism….but we’ll need to all do different jobs to succeed, so, this group needs to come together and, lets say this group said, we’ll be the blood of the organism….but we need to be several different kinds of cells just to be the blood….and another group got together and said, we’ll be the heart to pump the blood…..but we’ll need to be develop a complex series of valves on our membrane to let certain ions like potassium flow out and others to let different ions like sodium in, we’ll also need lots of tiny, specialized organelles within us to help us carry out our function.…..and all the other cells in the goo found friends and said….”let’s become one of the 10’s of 1000’s of different forms of life on earth…”

I think you got the picture…..so, is it more likely that all of these things occurred, or is it likely that an intelligent and all-knowing being knew these things and created life to work so perfectly….


The fossil record suggests that exceptional evolutionary activity took place over 10 million years at the base of the Cambrian and generated the ancestors of nearly all the animal groups living on Earth today, as well as others that failed to see modern times.
But many scientists believe that such rapid evolution is not possible. They postulate that there was an extended period of evolutionary progression that left behind a scant fossil record.” From: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/...

funny how the scant fossil record always happens when there is a gap in the argument

Oh, and yes, I actually do realize atoms/cells/tissues can’t talk – it’s just for effect, friends….

A Brief Introduction to China

China is a quaint nation, unlike the US. Its way of life, social codes, and ways of living differ somewhat from America. So, when Americans describe China and things Chinese, somehow their description comes out much different from Chinese records . . . even for the best of historians!

China has always been governed by dynasties. Democracy was non-existent and foreign to China.

So, we must look at the Imperial system through Chinese eyes and discard all American ideas and thinking, if we want to understand China.

1. During the period 1610 to 1620 marriage arrangements were made between the Ming Dynasty Chun clan and the Chou Dynasty Chow clan to strengthen the empire.

2. When the empire fell to the Manchurian invasion from the north, China's court got together and decided to install CHOU Shun Cheong as China's official and Han-Chinese emperor to preserve and maintain China's mandate.

I found a 1963 penny. It is a very light yellow color and looks nothing like the copper color. Does anybody know anything about it and if there is any value to it?

HI! Today is my first day on Yahoo! Answers. I am of Chinese ancestry and though my family's genealogy was already published my parents made us kids do menial task to earn our way in society, before they gave us any inkling of my/our family genealogy. So, if you are part Asian, perhaps, I can give you some advice. Hope it helps.

1. Most of my generation level (people of my age and peer circle) had to obey parents. Good and obedient kids got gifts and disobedient sons and daughters, often, were left out.

2. As many of us grew older, we did our own genealogy research in libraries (birth, death, and marriage records) as well as in public archives. We had to talk to older relatives and if they remembered that we were the good ones in childhood, the old folks were quite free with revealing the family tree and secrets.

a) You need to go to your area library and look for books talking about researching genealogy.
