I am someone who believes in the concept of evolution, not creationism. But, there is one fact of evolution which has always made me wonder something, and has made me think that there's a different way we came to be, other than what we're looking at today.

I will simply say this, and please discuss why this does not happen, as it should, if evolution were to be true:

Why is there not any in between, between our closest animal relatives, and human kind?




Note, please leave creationism ideas and theories out of this question.

Im gonna whine for a moment here. I am taking 5 classes in college and I am trying to move out because my family nags and Im a scapegoat for their problems. The apartments in the area close to school are SO expensive and there are no jobs around that would help me support myself, now I got extra resposibilities at school too. I am so overwhelmed, I want to leave so badly and be alone. My car is old, so working/living far is just not an option. One area I like has some apartments but they're FULL of DSHS people paying only $50/month ... this is unfair. :( someone guide me. xoxo Oh yea and I got some medical condition no one can diagnose :(

We can also give HOPE, CHARITY, etc....while some cant be given like FAITH, PATIENCE, etc (which are practiced & nurtured).......

So why is Justice so difficult to give & practice, & more often so fragile to nurture?

Simply stated: does morality exist only in the judgement of God, or is there an intrinsic sense of morality within all humans?
