to be fulfilled. Has God ever anwered your prayer for a baby with a baby?

Like the promise, "Delight yourself in the Lord & He shall give you the desires of your heart."

I see this reason used quite often for many things that fundies say could not occur without some intelligence 'designing' things.
There are many spectacularly complex things that are made everyday through completely natural processes:
hurricanes, thunderstorms, tornadoes, snowflakes, ocean currents, fronts

None of these things require design, they occur because of natural phenomenon. So why is it such a stretch to think that things like DNA molecules, galaxies, and even our universe needed some intelligent hand to 'create' them?

And please don't give me the dr.dino DNA statistics. They are completely false, with no consideration of time or frequency.

There are hundreds of violations reported on LGBT that yahoo never enforces. I can only assume that this site is here only to promot hatred toward gays. I'd also estimmate that there are now 3 to 4 bigots to every gay on this site. If you mention the religion of the highjackers who crashed the world trade center you'll get a warning though.

Due to the radicals? I don't hate, or even dislike you or your faith. It's gets a bit tiring being called a heathen and a whore because I wear jeans and tee shirts as a female, but I can look past that. Many world leaders, and countless citizens of the world have a negative view about your religion. Moreso than most others. Muslims are on the TV and papers everyday blowing up people and buildings. Do the rest of you support their behavior? Or are you all going to help abolish this behavior internally? Do you claim these people as Muslims who conduct Jihad and terrorist acts? Don't take my word for it, facts speak for themselves:

Didn't he understand human nature and the confusion that would result from ambiguous scripture? For instance,

"He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life."

John 12:25

Couldn't there have been more detail and explanation or is that asking to much?

Everybody seems to use this expression; footballers, personalities and other vital members of our world community. It is almost as popular as 'at the end of the day'. Why and when did this strange synonym become part of everyday conversation?

What is "evil"? I don't want answers like "murder is evil," or "it's really really bad," but what constitutes evil?

I believe evil is the lack of empathy.

I would like to know in Pagan or Native ways the meaning of this. On two totally separate occasions a week apart. I have seen a Monarch butterfly on the ground on my daily walks. He always is struggling and will go on my finger/hand if I present it to him. I have a "idea" what this could mean but would like to see if anyone has any other insightful or similar answers.

Today two men hijacked a turkish plane in protest to the Pope's recent quotation stating that Islam uses the sword to resolve its problems as well as to make converts. Isn't it ironic the reaction still going on all because of one quote taken out of context.

Why is premarital sex wrong? I know "The bible says so" but why? Would you buy a house without seeing the inside first? Sex is a very important aspect of any relationship, if its bad or you aren't on the same page, things go downhill real fast. And its not something you can just "pray" away, differing sexual aspects are the nature of humans and in most cases cannot be changed. What do you do if you marry someone who simply cannot satisfy you sexually? What if you can't satisfy him/her either?

Who are you calling God when you claim "God said" or citing the "word of God"?

And, where did you get the idea that those words are the "word of God" if God himself did not literally tell you that they were?

Be specific as to the source (who actually spoke the words) for your claim that what you repeat is the "word of God."

How would you feel? I imagine it would be somewhat relaxing if nothing else.

All non-anwers ("God wouldn't do that.." etc...) will be reported.

Supernatural implies that he rises out of and above nature, whereas subnatural implies that nature rises out of him. Is he the product of nature (supernaturalism) or is nature the product of him (subnaturalism)?

I was in Miami a few weeks ago and a black man told me that Cubans in Miami don't like Blacks in Miami. When I asked why he said because they left Cuba because Castro was trying to make things fair between dark Cubans and white Cubans. I want to know if this is true...basically, why do Cubans flea Cuba and do White Cubans dislike Blacks and Black Cubans on general purpose. I am looking for serious answers and opinions. If you do not know the answer please do not respond.

Thank you.
