When they dont even understand evolution? Why do they think that because there are still apes, evolution cannot occur. Do you not understand that those apes came from the same creature we split from, we just took different routes. Evolution is not a big race to see who can win, evolution is about surviving as best you can. The only reason we are here today is because in the infancy of our species, we were scared. We saw all the things in the world, but didnt understand them, so our brains evolved to become bigger and more complex to allow us to have an advantage over other lifeforms (notice we cannot run faster, bite harder or swim faster than most of the other life?)

What is your opinion: souls, energy, our imaginations, aliens, images from the past seeping into the present, angels, our mental response to the death of a loved one.....etc?

I'm doing a college project on peoples use of sites such as this one and what benefits they give people.Is it a way of killing dead time? Is it the ability to earn points and status? Is it the ability to interact with other people? Is it an alternative to chat / forums / blogs? Would love to hear what people think.

I have a genetic disease called galactosemia and have a deformed gene in my body. With this condition, my body will not seperate the lactose and succrose from any type of dairy product. The only thing I can do is avoid eating things that this particular gene would normally seperate. However, even after religiously staying on the diet, I still have several health related problems from this condition. If you are a religious person that feels stem cell treatment should be illegal because it "kills" the genes a fetus has, what do you think about Genesis 1:26 that says: "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground..."? If God meant for humans to rule over the earth then why would he be opposed to humans using stem cell research to cure medical diseases?

I just want to know why some people feel it is necessary to make up things about other people and their religions. Is it because they feel they aren't doing enough for their beliefs unless they diminish those of other people, or because they are so concerned about people believing something other than what they believe, or because they honestly don't understand the other religions or otherwise misinterpret them? Or is it a combination of all of the above? I honestly don't know. I would really appreciate everyone's honest opinion on this. Please don't believe everything you read or hear. It usually isn't true.

In the early days of Christianity, there were distinct traditions about the deaths of virtually all of the chief Biblical characters, but complete silence about Mary, the mother of Jesus. In the year 375 AD, the great Christian teacher, Epiphanius, played "coy" by saying that her final fate was something "wondrous" and "beyond the comprehension" of people, admitting that the collection of New Testament scriptural books could not be expected to "record" every event in the life of Jesus or any of his comtemporaries. Epiphanius refered to "hints" that her final fate was deliberately a mystery--she may have been a martyr, or she may be the "Woman" of Revelation 12 (flown to paradise), or she may have "remained alive" because "God can do what he pleases." Did the woman who allegedly gave her own flesh & blood to the Living God become riddled with maggots? Or, did something special happen? Enoch and Elijah were prematrely "raptured" because of "favor." What happened to the "favored" Mary?

I'm not just talking about typos, for which I'm guilty, but the overall inability to to put a sentences together, use proper words and reasonable grammar, and communicate a clear thought. I understand this is an international forum and I'm more forgiving for the efforts, but the "English" speakers whine about being judged when all they do is demonstrate they're borderline morons in both attitude and expression. That says a lot about their character when they don't know how to write or refuse to try to write clearly when they're asking strangers for help. Am I alone in my dismay?
