People say this sentence is correct: Is there anybody waiting for me?
But people say this sentence is incorrect: Is there anybody speaking English?

Aren't they the same pattern ?

It's told that Buddhism came to Sri Lanka from Orissa, India. And many believe that Sihalese is similar to Oriya. Can anyone give some relevant examples of words or phrases that are similar.

Drosnin concludes that Armageddon will begin with nuclear terrorism in the Middle East, because Armageddon is a real place. It is the Greek name for the city of Megiddo in Israel. The ancient city is in ruins today, and does not seem like it would be the sight of major battle. But not to far north of it is located one of Israel's most important Air Force bases. The base faces Syria, which according to the code will have a major role in the final world war. "Armageddon is encoded with the name Hafez Asad, Syria's current leader, in a sequence that includes the word "holocaust." Russia, China and the USA also appear with the words World War, but since they are super powers it is to be expected. Syria on the other hand is the odd one.

Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; men and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds of the air were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.
Genesis 7:23

Eh, no I didn't. Where did you get that from ? I once stood on a ant by accident but i never wiped out every living creation.

By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. 24 Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. 25 Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. 26 But Lot's wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Genesis 19:23-25

Woah !!! Where did you get this from ? Again I repeat I am not in the business of killing or encouraging killing. Anyway I was at home watching the mork and mindy marathon that day.

BTW What is it with you guys hating gays ? I say love EVERYONE

I am tired of going places and breathing this stuff.
Who is with me? Why dont us non-smokers leave
since it bothers us so much, and all the smokers can
stay and smoke with eachother. : )

The new "hypothetical" country would not
sell cigarettes, and have no ties to any
tobacco companies. It would be a smoke
free country!!

Would you go why or why not?

: )

Did their God tell them that she is all alone as God of the universe?
If so, why didn't that single God tell the same to other people?
I would certainly doubt my creator if she told me that she is all alone in an infite universe. I would even die from laughing at such a make-believe story.

If you had faith that you could stop a car travelling at 30mph just by standing in front if it people would think you were mad. But you had faith that it was true so that was ok. But you could be proved wrong if you stood in front of a car, failed to stop it and got run over.

So, faith is ok until proved wrong? Unfortunately it can not be proved either way that god/allah/krishna/heaven/hell until we die. so is faith in a greater power just stupidity?

Was just wondering how it is that you can belive so wholeheartedly in the bible and claim that it's unfablible? Are you not aware that it is the result of copied and translated writtings? there is an example Malachi 1:3 states: "And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness." and in another version of the bible it's changed from dragon to owl. I have been told the reason for this is that it is translated for the particular time period or that it's the 'best' way to translate it. and we all know that there are words in various languages that have no translateion, words unique in meaning. so just from that it has become falible. I do not mean this to be in any way insulting, just curious on peoples beliefs and if you are aware of this or belive it's hogwash and it is infalible.

Consider the Epicurean argument:
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"

I was reading in Wikipedia that "one of the most common arguments against the existence of a specific God is the problem of evil." As an atheist, this is certainly my main argument. How do theists account for this logical incompatibility? The only reasons I ever hear from people are "free will" or "the devil." The first just doesn't make sense and the second is just an excuse.

I mean when they have to stand for any crisis they tend to back out, they do not show " I am there for you, don't worry " instead leave the woman of their life to deal alone, though these guys have an image of being " good guys" according to society.
