Do ALL American celebrate Thanksgiving? Exactly HOW is it celebrated? Do you give/receive gifts? Do you decorate your homes? How do you then cope with Christmas festivities (if you celecrate it) a very short time afterwards?

why the 98% figure for same DNA monkey to man??? is it the new math???
chimps have 10% more DNA than humans
the tellemers are twice the length of humans
we count substitutions... but ??not?? insertions which are most of the differences... oyyy vey!!!!
new math gives me a headache... is this the stuff of careful scientific comparison... or trying to religously arrive at the conclusion you want without being confused by the facts?

Many people dislike the fact that religions have been killing each other over what god to believe in. I say, let them kill each other. Its survival of the fittest, the dumb ones die and the smart ones stay.

When you have a customer waiting to speak to someone else and they stand at your desk and watch what you are doing on the computer................. Do you say something to them? Do you stop working? Do you turn off your computer screen or click the "show desktop" button? Is it not one of the most annoying things in the world? I don't mean that I'm playing around on Answers while they are staring at the screen, I am working in the checkbook, paying bills, receipting money, or dealing with financial reports.

We are catholic. We dont attend church on a regular basis. Accualy we dont attend church on a basis at all. I had my son 3 weeks ago and never thought about baptizem. Last night I was talking to my parents and they brought it up. I told them I wasnt going to do it. They were really upset and told me that they would sneek my son to the church if I didnt do it. My boy friend is not religious at all, and I dont even know how to approch him with such a serious thing. I have never even known my boyfriend to walk into a church. I would emagine that both parents have to be presant at the time. Any thoughts opinions?

that CHURCH AFFILIATION DOES NOT GURANTEE SALVATION but ONE'S CONDUCT IN LIFE and HOW ONE TREATS OTHERS...
The belief regarding SALVATION and the means to RECEIVE IT vary enormously even among various CHRISTIAN-PROFESSING RELIGIONS...

Humans, apes, guinea pigs and some fruit bats all share a disability. They are all unable to biosynthesize ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). Other mammals can do this so why not us and these others? Lack of ascorbic acid results in an afliction called scurvy which causes you to bleed from the soft membranes in your mouth and *other* parts and ultimately results in death.

The gene to code the enzyme responsible (L-gulono-γ-lactone oxidase) for synthesis exists in humans and other primates, as it does in other mammals (except guinea pigs), but it is damaged or disabled so it specifically cannot do anything.

So why would God do this? Is it a result of original sin? Why did he specifically only give this disability to a select group of mammals?

Three weeks ago I started communicating with a woman who read an online profile of mine and decided that I was just the kind of woman she'd been searching for. We are both in our forties, formerly married to men, and have children living at home. We are also both Christians and very family oriented. I was just as taken with her from the start as she was with me. But here's the thing: She pretty much decided after talking to me for hours over a period of three days that she wanted to settle down with me and make a commitment. She immediately began talking about details of ceremonies, where we might live, houses, the kids, trips she wanted to take with me, rings she wanted to buy me, etc. It was flattering, but overwhelming. She is really serious, and says she doesn't believe in "long courtships." And, yet, she hasn't even told me once that she's in love with me. When I mentioned that, she said, "I love your spirit, and that's even more important." Is this just the Taurus in her?

There is some historical evidence for the stories in the Bible, Is Jesus Christ the son of God or just a Celebrity Prophet. And if Islam, Christianity are supposed to be Peaceful and loving tenets, how come they have caused so many deaths and wars?

I have heard that one can use a plumb bob tool to find out the truth about something. You draw a circle on a paper, then draw to line in the middle running both ways, then write yes in the top and bottom sections and no in the side sections. Hold the plumb bob over the paper and then ask it a yes/no question. It will swing either back and forth or side to side to answer your question. I tried it. It works! But has anyone else heard of this?
