What does the bible say about it?

I'd rather take God's word for when life starts then some mans. So are there any verses about it?

The only one I know of is in Genesis 2:7 - And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

If I go by this verse - it's when man actually breathes - because God calls it the breath of life - for a living soul.

Your thoughts or other verses. I know there is cellular life before a baby would breath - but they aren't born until they come out of the womb.

This might range from the "magpie', visible in sunshine at 2000 meters to the severely practical with none. My favourite item was a victorian gold mounted cameo brooch of St Cecilia [Music}. Sadly it was stolen when I was in care. I now have a modest cameo worn as a collar closing ornament for my blouse.

Most Christian denominations teach that evolution was simply god's tool in creating the world.

So why do people here constantly assert that evolution is atheistic?

I turned 21, 19 days ago. I've been loosing hair since 18. Its kinda noticable now. I've tried everything and nothing has worked. And some pills have horrible side effects. Im too young for this, if it was 25 and higher then okay, but 18? Im obsessive, I keep looking in the mirror and more keeps falling. Before you answer THINK that your loosing your hair at 18, remember this is when you meet lotsa of girls up to whenever. And this is time when 100% of your guy friends have their hair. They might lose it later but at this age its VERY RARE. You may think whatever, Im a very strong guy, but when I see I a guy my age completely not worried about his hair it kills me, BAD, its a bad tease when I see my older uncle with very nice hair and Im 3 years younger then him and losing my hair.

Semitic
-noun
1. a subfamily of Afroasiatic languages that includes Akkadian, Arabic, Aramaic, Ethiopic, Hebrew, and Phoenician.
-adjective
2. of or pertaining to the Semites or their languages, esp. of or pertaining to the Jews.
Source: www.dictionary.com

Notice that the first definition would include Palestineans, Iraqis, and North Africans along with Israelis. The second definition says the same thing, but places emphasis on "pertaining to the Jews".

The ADL (Anti-Defamation League) is about fighting anti-semitism.
"For 90 years, ADL has been combating anti-Semitism and bigotry of all kinds."
(History of ADL: http://www.adl.org/main_about_adl.asp)
However, it's main goal is "To stop the defamation of the Jewish people..."
It seems to me that since it's main purpose is to fight anti-semitism that it would also fight racism against all Semitic people, not just on the Jewish (Israeli/Hebrew).

Does this make sense to anyone else, or am I putting to much into this?

There are so many times in the Bible where Jesus is praying to God. Was He praying to Himself? When Jesus was baptized, God spoke to Him from Heaven, the Holy Ghost desened down from Heaven in the form of a dove. God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost were all at the same place in different forms. From all this I believe they have to be three seperate beings.

Pope Benedict XVI “sincerely regrets” offending Muslims with his reference to an obscure medieval text that characterizes some of the teachings of Islam’s founder as “evil and inhuman,” the Vatican said Saturday.

**An Iraqi insurgent group threatened the Vatican with a suicide attack over the pope’s remarks on Islam, according to a statement posted Saturday on the Web.
**“We swear to God to send you people who adore death as much as you adore life,” said the message posted in the name of the Mujahedeen Army on a Web site frequently used by militant groups. The message’s authenticity could not be independently verified. The statement was addressed to “you dog of Rome” and threatens to “shake your thrones and break your crosses in your home.”
**In West Bank attacks on churches, Palestinians used guns, firebombs and lighter fluid, leaving church doors charred and walls scorched by flames and pocked with bullet holes. Nobody was reported injured. Two Catholic churches, an Anglican one and a Greek Orthodox one were hit. A Greek Orthodox church was also attacked in Gaza City.
A group calling itself “Lions of Monotheism” told The Associated Press by phone that the attacks were a protest against the pope’s remarks on Islam.**

In a broader talk rejecting any religious motivation for violence, Benedict cited the words of a Byzantine emperor who characterized some of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad as “evil and inhuman,” particularly “his command to spread by the sword the faith.”
The pontiff did not endorse that description, but he did not question it, and his words set off a firestorm of protests across the Muslim world.

1. Morocco recalled its ambassador to the Vatican on Saturday to protest the pope’s “offensive” remarks, and Afghanistan demanded the pope apologize.
2. Turkey cast some doubt on whether Benedict could proceed with a planned visit in November in what would be the pontiff’s first trip to a Muslim nation.
3. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan insisted the pope apologize to the Muslim world, saying he had spoken “not like a man of religion but like a usual politician.”
Asked if Muslim anger would affect the pope’s trip to Istanbul, where he hopes to meet with Orthodox leaders headquartered there, Erdogan replied, “I wouldn’t know.”
4. The grand sheik of Cairo’s Al-Azhar Mosque, the Sunni Arab world’s most powerful institution, condemned the pope’s remarks as “reflecting ignorance.”
5. The Shiite Muslim militant group Hezbollah and Lebanon’s top Sunni Muslim religious authority also denounced the pope’s comments.

Benedict quoted from a book recounting a conversation between 14th century Byzantine Christian Emperor Manuel Paleologos II and an educated Persian on the truths of Christianity and Islam.
“The emperor comes to speak about the issue of jihad, holy war,” the pope said. “He said, I quote, ’Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.”’
