Evolution is so often bashed by Born Again Christians and others that I have to wonder if they have ever actually STUDIED evolution. Do they understand what it really means? Do they actually understand the concept of evolution?

Judging from some past answers, I suspect not.

For the record, stating that something which is declared as Theory in science as just a guess is wrong. In science, a theory is something which cannot be disproven despite many many tests and a great deal of evidence.

Don't get psychological theories mixed up with scientific ones. The two sciences are different.

Why dismiss what has been proven? Instead of fearing it and hating it, why not learn more about it?

My wife and I are retired and white. We have adopted five boys who are racially mixed, but mainly African American.We don't understand why so many people have hang-ups about this. If you are white and have thought about it, but didn't do it, why not?

Peak Oil occurs when the world's oil supply reaches its half-way point and then goes into permenant decline. Less and less oil will affect how we grow our food, get around, what kind of job we have, how we heat our homes and cook our food, how we generate electricity and ensure our drinking water supply. Peak Oil has already occured or will likely occur within the next 4 years. The link below gives a balanced overview:

Let me explain. In 1976 I was on holiday in Stornoway on the Island of Lewis and some friends and I went out sea fishing. I was unfortunate enough to lose a silver signet ring over the side iof the boat.

Now I am working on an oil rig, 40 miles off the mouth of the river Congo. We had fried fish for our evening meal yesterday, and I sliced into my portion of fish with hardly a thought. Imagine my disappointment when I found the ring was not there!! Are coincidences not nearly as common as we have always been led to believe?

nobody believes anyone anymore without proof as they did back in the day like centuries ago. How do you spread ideas now? would you rather accept or question? do you believe in God or no God (ideas that were accepted)? Science?

My wife and I are retired, and have raised our first family with three children Then we adopted five young boys out of the state's foster system. They all have the same birth mother, they are mixed racially, we are white, they are mainly African American. I am particularly interested in what African American people think about white people adopting black children. We love them very much.

Okay here's my theoretical question:
If a possession is a souls attaching itself to the human shell, right, then isn't our soul that was placed inside this shell possessing the body?
Do you think our souls are connected to our shells (our bodies) by thin little strings or cords?
Why is it so easy for another spirit or entity to enterin to the already possessed body, is it because we will it or is it something else?

There is so much evidence in the public domain that points towards it being an "inside job". Loads of people, including demolition experts, pilots, eye-witnesses, and rescue service people, have all said that the "official" story is impossible.

Are they ignored because the truth is too terrible? Is it easier to pretend that it was done by Muslims?

what do you think? We all know that marijuana isn't the main stream drug that the politicians want us to think it is, 95% of society has smoked atleast once. It's safer than cigarettes, safer than Alcohol, and would bring in way more tax dollars. Everyone should be fighting for this, but everyone is too scared. They would all just sit back and smoke in private. Don't you want to be able to light up a big ol fatty out on your front porch on a beautifull summer day, or rip the bong sitting shotgun in your buddies car while he drives to get munchies?

Black only awards, black entertainment television, black only scholarships, affirmitive action for jobs

if there ever was a WHITE PEOPLE ONLY AWARDS there would lawsuits and people losing their jobs and getting fired all over the place.

It just seems to only contribute to racism by having them, how will it ever end if we keep separating each other.
