A serious question, please don't think I am being stupid or facetious. This is a sttory from the Bible that concerns Noah and the Ark. I am a Christian and I really believe in God and the Bible and I want to believe everything in the Bible is true BUT I can't get my head around the fact that it says that Noah collected two of all the animals in the World? penguins? polar Bears? Sloths? so many lovely animals we are told God creaed but they all lived so far away that how did they get to the Holy Land so that they could be put on the Ark. i asked my pastor this and he said that it was a matter of faith and that I had to believe it was true because it was writen. But I can't just believe it cos I know that things like Polar bears and Penguins could nevr have got to the Holy Land. please help me I keep thinking I am wicked and bad, Ihave tried to pray to believe but cant. PLEASE someone give me the answers I need.

"It's just as if a man were wounded with an arrow thickly smeared with poison. His friends & companions, kinsmen & relatives would provide him with a surgeon, and the man would say, 'I won't have this arrow removed until I know whether the man who wounded me was a noble warrior, a priest, a merchant, or a worker.' He would say, 'I won't have this arrow removed until I know the given name & clan name of the man who wounded me... until I know whether he was tall, medium, or short... until I know whether he was dark, ruddy-brown, or golden-colored... until I know his home village, town, or city... until I know whether the bow with which I was wounded was a long bow or a crossbow... until I know whether the bowstring with which I was wounded was fiber, bamboo threads, sinew, hemp, or bark... until I know whether the shaft with which I was wounded was wild or cultivated... until I know whether the feathers of the shaft with ....http://ludekvala.com/texty/fotky_ctyry.htm

With so many denomiations, which one do I pick? I would hate to miss out because I grabbed the wrong one. If you say whichever one speaks to me is the one, why is this speaking to me acceptable but the speaking to me that another religion does not acceptable?

Why do they think they have the right to look down on anyone? Were they never taught "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"?

He was a mercenary, who never set foot on US ground. He & his men raped and pillaged the places he did visit. If the natives did not bring him enough gold, he would have their hands cut off or just execute them. He decimated the Arawack people, however the Caribs put up some resistance. Between murder & disease he started the worst genocide the world has known. Over 90 million native people died in the 1st 100 years after his arrival

I asked a question about Pat Robertson who to me epitomizes a crazy man under a bridge; he just gets paid a bit more for his proselytizing. ‘nuff said.
And one of my responses was:
“Maybe you need to understand and learn a few more things about the way that God does things (involves love, eternal life..), and the way that satan works
(destroying, killing..pain...death)
Huh?
Well I won’t go in to tomes of text from the Bible on plagues and floods God brought down to his children, but why does my flood insurance policy say “acts of God” and not “acts of Satan”?

"Are you interested". I mean, I'm looking for another way to put it.
Context: Someone is offering courses on the Internet and on the website, he wants to ask if people want to register. So he asks: "Are you interested?".

Also, does it make sense for an English or American person if you say "I'm offering courses and training courses"? Do you make the distinction between the two?

I'm translating a website from French (my native language) into English, and don't want to make mistakes. Also, I'm doing it for free and don't know him (he asked on Yahoo! Answers). So please, help me!!!

1) DNA is not merely a molecule with a pattern; it is a code, a language, and an information storage mechanism.
2) All codes are created by a conscious mind; there is no natural process known to science that creates coded information.
3) Therefore DNA was designed by a mind.

If you can provide an empirical example of a code or language that occurs naturally, you've toppled my proof. All you need is one.

Isn't it a tease, how does that benefit them?
Especially if they are in a relationship, shouldn't they be satisfied with who they are with?

Well, if you don't belive in God...why do you spend so much time in the religion forum? Is there something deep down in your hearts pulling you here to learn the truth?
