Society & Culture - 6 November 2006

Please bear with me, Im trying to say this as clearly as i can, I have no intention of upsetting anyone, or badmouthing, or blaspheming, and I am trying to find the words to clearly express my question.

Ok. I have noticed that, when confronted with Darwins theory of Evolution, Christians (not all, but the majority) say that they are not monkeys.

Right. I know that you are not monkeys. Thats not what Darwin theory is about. It is about all of us evolving from 'single celled organisms', not monkeys. I know the story about how Eve was formed from Adams rib, and you will believe that, yet you think the idea of you evolving from a single celled organism is outrageous.

Why cant we merge the two? God create the single cell organism and watched us grow into what we are now and what we will become?

I was just wondring why Christians (not all, but the majority) think that Darwin theory said we evolve from monkeys when it was a single cell organism that could have been created by god

How come punjabis in pakistan have abandoned their mother tongue for urdu, especially when other ethnic groups such as sindhis and pathans take great pride in their languages and they even have schools that teach in them. How come the punjabi language doesn't have such status in pakistan and how come punjabi people aren't as proud of their language as other ethnic groups in pakistan are?

The explanations at
http://www.suite101.com/lesson.cfm/18770...
show the issue. I am not able answer someone who explained: "Raama could have negotiated with Vaali and Sugriva for a compromise. But then, for mere compromise, he would not have gotten the help he needed to retrieve Sita. Thats why he wanted to bind Sugriva in an enormous obligation and so killed Vaali. Since he knew Vaali was stronger, Raama even resorted to a cowardly act."

According to some religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), God spoke directly to a select few, whom He chose to be His prophets to spread His word. God is omnipresent and omnipotent, so why wouldn't He use His all-encompassing power to send His message directly to everyone, rather than to a select few?

Is it the sheep who have been given the answers, or is the ones who seek the answers, because they do not claim to know them.
Which way is better? Just wondering

I am really struggling with the whole Ted Haggard thing. Shouldn't Pastors and Priest be held to a higher standard? I know we are all human but how can we listen to a follower of Christ who commits such blasphemy? These are the things that make others call us hypocrites; he just took all of us one step back in the minds of the secular world. He has caused so much damage. How can I get past this?

I live in North America and can not get enough of British TV simply because of the language they speak. It sounds so proper, not agressive. Such a turn on. Why in America we had to destroy it so much?
