or say you were taking a medication that was helping a health problem, then you found out this medication is nothing but a vitamin or sugar (placebo.) If you find out it is a placebo, will it still help?

I have written a novel 'Love Floats' and I would like to get it published but it needs editing to bring it up to standard. A good rewriter might would also be useful. It contains about 86,000 words.

Everyone re-read Genesis. This time disregard "mans" idea of what a "day" in the life cycle of the world AT THAT TIME means. This world, in the context of what is/was written, and in the context of the author\s at that time, given they don't have our current knowledge, may actually have meant something entirely different to what we read in our current context.

Is a day 24 hours? Is it 24 million years? Think about the second part, then read Genesis again.

Ok, now re-read the bit about Adam and Eve. Does the author (remember, this is not God himself speaking, but through a worldy author reiterating events of the known world via a publication) know or even comprehend timescales of which may actually be happening? If that is, of course, what transpired.

Now put Darwin and Genesis together. Are they that far apart??

Are humans naturally trusting, or is the ability to trust a skill we learn over time, experience and perhaps instinct..

I have already read Jeff Shaara's novels and have recently read "Strange Meeting". I am looking for something character driven not necessarily a famous battle (not All Quiet on the Western Front)
I tried doing a search on amazon, but it came up with all non fiction and biographies and such.
Thanks!

Which type of ballpoint pen or pens are used at drawing manga/anime? Some say 0.25 mm, some say 0.5 mm... Please list me all types and purposes of them in manga/anime drawing, like for drawing thin lines or thick lines.

Many thanks in advance!
