It is a simple question. Disregarding herring of the red variety, most responses rely on obvious features. But one doesn't need the obvious to make the decision we make immediately every day. Of course sometimes we get it wrong, but 99% of the time, what tells us ?

How many intelligent designers were there? You cite a case of for example a skyscraper being "too complex to be made by chance," but a skyscraper is so complex that there is a whole team of designers i.e. Engineers and Architects, plus those that had to build it. So if the Universe is soooooooo much more complex than a skyscraper, wouldn't it make sense to have more than one intelligent designer? Sounds rather stupid to limit yourself to one.

In light of this, though, what scientific proof (because we all know its not religion) do you have that there was only one intelligent designer? And what scientific evidence do you have that this one intelligent designer has the endless power you claim (if you claim this)?

Anyone who believes in evolution should refrain from answering since we only need the answers of the "real scientists" of "intelligent desing."

Many times I have been asked what is my faith, in which I say nothing, and everthing. I find myself to be an atheist, someone who believes there is no god, And I also find myself to be a christian because I do believe there was a man named jesus who was a messenger. I often get called a witch or a mystic because I believe in the mystery and the magic of the universe, in which allows me to be more open to the struggles of others. I see myself as a pagan because I also feel that in the solitude of nature I hear god's voice, and I reply. I believe in Karma, and the manifestation of our own world with actions. I believe in metaphysics and how the body is no more than energy made up by molecules, and functions on chemicals. The point I am trying to make is that I see a little bit of myself in everyone, and I feel that in order to better know myself and god it is through the experiences of this realm that involves adversity from other people.
Is is not to hard to fathom that this is what

I know the Bible only gives the man the right to divorce if his wife has been sexually immoral but do you think that women should have the right to divorce men? If so, for what?

what do u call someone who always watches what happens around them but sometimes pretends they dont know or at least keeps it for themselves- let's say they're a bit on the sly side(but not really evil).

Slang preferred.
Thanks.

I am going through the name change process and decided to call the court to find out how much it cost to file the forms. In La county it's 320 bucks! Is there any other way to do this legally? Any cheaper way maybe? I also have to publish the legal notice of name change in a newspaper for 4 weeks, thats going to cost me 105 bucks. Man this name change process is expensive. I know you can get fees waived if you have low income but I'm working and making over 40k a year.

If you dont want to be called one, than dont act like that stereotype. Does that make sense? All of us stereotype people. I do NOT dislike someone for it, I just know there ARE people that act that certain way, why get upset about it, its who you are, and if you dont like being called a stereotype, than dont act that way, apparently your not comfortable with who you are. Sorry I tried to make sense. lol

Is this the same? I read before that evalution was proven by bacteria evolving to resist antibioctics. So if a snake handler becomes immune to venom, is he evolving or adapting? And if someone took too many antibiotics, do they become immune to them or are they evolving?

I am talking about the mainstream population of muslims.
Is that something that you think is wrong, or are you all for it?

I am comparing this to Christianity and some fundamentalists who hate in God's name and give Christians a bad name. Is it the same for muslims?
