This is an earnest inquiry. Please explain how an "Intelligent Entity" of some sort (i.e., Energy / Life Force or an actual Creator Being referred to as their "God") could NOT be responsible for setting the universe in motion - devising and putting into motion the Laws of Nature for our planet (at least) - and then everything since that point has been "cause and effect" - including what Darwin and other scientists discovered about the evolutionary tree.

I do believe in a Creator because everything on the planet is so intricately complex and amazing, and if it is human BEINGS who are DISCOVERING these intricacies, then maybe a higher BEING devised them. Of course it is not an provable hypothesis, but who is to say it is absolutely false either?

Is it just Atheists + other Christians that believe the 2 schools of thought have to be mutually exclusive? Couldn't the story of Creation be allegorical? For those scientists who believe both - how do you explain yourselves to others?

Norm: If Jesus is God, why didn't Jesus ever prove that he is God?
Chris: He did! He performed many miracles, and he was resurrected. That proves that he is God!
Norm: Why did he not prove that he is God in a way that is definitive and scientifically provable -- for example, by moving a mountain?
Chris: He could not do that! That would take away man's free will to believe in him. People must come to God through faith.
Norm: Why, then, did Jesus perform the miracles described in the Gospels?
Chris: To prove that he is God. If he had not done the miracles, culminating in his final most miraculous resurrection, we would not know that he is God.
Norm: I thought that if Jesus performed miracles to prove that he was God, then it took away our free will.
Chris: No.
Norm: Isn't that what you just said?
Chris: No. What I just said is that Jesus' miracles prove that he was God.
Norm: So why didn't Jesus perform real, concrete miracles like moving a mountain?

There are more genetic similarities between humans and chimpanzees than there are between Asian and African elephants. If evolution doesn't account for it, what does?

my family told me that at the time slaves were free they were quite angry at the damn northern yanks, because now they lost their workers and had to work themselves. How many of ya'll know that your actual ancestors held slaves from the south? Don't you think it was kind of awkard after they were free? Did the ***** people start to kill the whites now that they were off the shackles? People gotta learn to forgive and forget.

ok i have a bf
im interested in this gal
she and i really clique very well, eg we always seem to agree alot on likes and dislikes, when im thinking of smting in a situation, we end up thinking about the same things
im not known to be bi or les
she is single, appears to be straight but i know she has lesbian friends ie, she dosnt get sick at the mere idea of the word lesbian

so what are my chances we might end up together, or at least some how either of us fess up about likin each other?
cos i do but i cld never dare to fess up to her, unless one day she like looks longingly into my eyes, or some other really obvious sign
and the way we are around each other, i feel sooooo like grabin her and huggin her and givin her a kiss, dont know if she feels the same, hoping and wishing each day she does and 1 day she acts on it..

what are my chances?

we pray more out of fear, or out of greed. probably even all the religious institutions like the church,mosques and others have turned the prayer to god as a money making business or to control humans. hence they preach if u dont do this or do that u will go to hell. if u obey u go to heaven. In reality there is no hell or heaven, except here and now. better to enjoy every moment of this life without worrying about god. neither the pope nor the preacher has in reality met God.

i feel that people are born with both. this is how you start out your life and the way that you see it. so when being color blind or not, we are taught the spectrum of colors. so for the color-blind person the red is actually grey.but to the rest of the world there grey is red.so how can we expect either one to understand what the other sees. neither is wrong, we just have to try to respect what they see.

tell me what you think.
