I know that this seems a question of faith but as Aristotelian of causation was once used to prove the exist of God may here I'll get so interesting answers.

1; Atheistic evolution (naturalistic evolutionism)

2; Deistic evolution

3;Theistic evolution

4:Old-Earth Creationism, The Day/Age Theory:

5:Old-Earth Creationism, The Gap Theory

6:Young-Earth Creationism (Scientific creationism, Creation Science)

7: can't say but I believe in Creationism based on Genesis 1

8: can't say but I believe in Creationism based on Genesis 2

9: none of the above (please explain)

Note:
Progressive Creationism is in fact the same as Theistic evolution in it's essence

And Fiat creationism is just another way of looking at Old-Earth Creationism, The Day/Age Theory.

Intelligent answers only!! please be respectful this is a serious question.

I can’t figure out what, but they’re missing something vital. It’s that thing that makes you go “wow”. I use a Canon EOS 350d with inexpensive lenses. I take pictures of scenes that I think would be cool, but when I look at them they are just blaah. I’ll look at pictures of a similar scene taken with more expensive equipment though and I’m blown away. So, I thought it was my lenses, but I don’t know. Here are the pictures I took with two different lenses. I thought they could have been cool, but once again ended up uninteresting and I don’t know why. I shoot in RAW and set the WB and everything later so I don’t think there are any mistakes there. Is it the lenses, the body, or user error that's ruining my pictures? I know this is a nebulous question, but any help would be appreciated.

Why do scientists accept that random mutations and natural selection indicate that evolution has no purpose, while at the same time they reject that the fine tuning of the universe nature's constants for life does not indicate any purpose? Isn't that contradictory? I think we should accept or reject both, but can not accept one conclusion while rejecting the other.

THE opening of large tracts by the ice-cutters commonly causes a pond to break up earlier; for the water, agitated by the wind, even in cold weather, wears away the surrounding ice. But such was not the effect on Walden that year, for she had soon got a thick new garment to take the place of the old. This pond never breaks up so soon as the others in this neighborhood, on account both of its greater depth and its having no stream passing through it to melt or wear away the ice. I never knew it to open in the course of a winter, not excepting that of '52-3, which gave the ponds so severe a trial. It commonly opens about the first of April, a week or ten days later than Flint's Pond and Fair Haven, beginning to melt on the north side and in the shallower parts where it began to freeze. It indicates better than any water hereabouts the absolute progress of the season, being least affected by transient changes of temperature. A severe cold of a few days duration in March may very much retard the opening of the former ponds, while the temperature of Walden increases almost uninterruptedly. A thermometer thrust into the middle of Walden on the 6th of March, 1847, stood at 32 degrees, or freezing point; near the shore at 33 degrees; in the middle of Flint's Pond, the same day, at 32½ degrees at a dozen rods from the shore, in shallow water, under ice a foot thick, at 36 degrees. This difference of three and a half degrees between the temperature of the deep water and the shallow in the latter pond, and the fact that a great proportion of it is comparatively shallow, show why it should break up so much sooner than Walden. The ice in the shallowest part was at this time several inches thinner than in the middle. In midwinter the middle had been the warmest and the ice thinnest there. So, also, every one who has waded about the shores of the pond in summer must have perceived how much warmer the water is close to the shore, where only three or four inches deep, than a little distance out, and on the surface where it is deep, than near the bottom. In spring the sun not only exerts an influence through the increased temperature of the air and earth, but its heat passes through ice a foot or more thick, and is reflected from the bottom in shallow water, and so also warms the water and melts the under side of the ice, at the same time that it is melting it more directly above, making it uneven, and causing the air bubbles which it contains to extend themselves upward and downward until it is completely honeycombed, and at last disappears suddenly in a single spring rain. Ice has its grain as well as wood, and when a cake begins to rot or "comb," that is, assume the appearance of honeycomb, whatever may be its position, the air cells are at right angles with what was the water surface. Where there is a rock or a log rising near to the surface the ice over it is much thinner, and is frequently quite dissolved by this reflected heat; and I have been told that in the experiment at Cambridge to freeze water in a shallow wooden pond, though the cold air circulated underneath, and so had access to both sides, the reflection of the sun from the bottom more than counterbalanced this advantage. When a warm rain in the middle of the winter melts off the snow-ice from Walden, and leaves a hard dark or transparent ice on the middle, there will be a strip of rotten though thicker white ice, a rod or more wide, about the shores, created by this reflected heat. Also, as I have said, the bubbles themselves within the ice operate as burning-glasses to melt the ice beneath.

Who can prove that?

(Note: I haven't studied this extensively, but as far as I can tell, the US got involved after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which was known about in advance by FDR. However, he wanted to get the country into war to stimulate the economy, so he let it happen. Also, the attack was preceded by a specific embargo on Japan which was not a part of international isolationism. In fact, we were trading with lots of other countries at the time. But then again, I'm not the expert here, so someone please help me out.)

Tell whether this man is an idiot or not.

He has a philosophy that you can make the best of what you have with everything and be glad with what you've got.

In this case, he was dying from an embolism.

Rather than call an ambulance, he dicided to be greatful for the life he has and enjoy it.
So he sat down and watched star-wars and died before he even got to the emporer get killed.

Why is this philosophy wrong?

I have made an amazing discovery. The discovery belongs to everyone. I was selectedto distribute the information because I have proven that I care. Caring is the key to eternal life. If you do not care don't waste your only time you have left. If you care about life and love and are sick and tired of seeing people mdie then I am your source for life. I am asking nothing. I am only offering. Eternal ife is very simple. It flys high above religion and science. It only requires for you to be as you know everyone should be. My concept is righteous and actually founded in the Bible which I believe is a message from someone long ago who was trying to get a message across time to the future about how we lost eternal liofe and what must be done to regain it.
If interested email me. I will tell you my idea. I can only email a few per day. But I will reply, to all, as fast as I can. If you are not a caring person I will be unable to direct you.

I have been playing my brothers electric guitar for about a year now, but I really want an acoustic guitar because I like "acousticifying" my favorite rock songs. I have no idea how to buy an acoustic guitar, what some good brands are, or even if I should get a acoustic or an acoustic/electric guitar! The highest price my parents are willing to pay is probably around $300. I am probably going to get a used one because you can get a lot nicer used guitar for $300 than you can get a new one.

So any help with buying an acoustic guitar will be appreciated!

That is where the entire human race is, or headed to. Is that reasonable? Has god made a mistake by declaring us not worth life. We have been conditioned to believe that the world is evil so we must be also. Would mankind rehabilitate if given an extension on life to give us time to prove we are good. Now we die before we can prove our rehab possibilties.
If I get you extended life will you promise you will be righteous?
