I. Where did all the material present in the Big Bang come from?

2. Why did the material suddenly explode?

3. Can an explosion bring about order?


Evolutionary scientists have left the answer to the first two of these questions as simply "UNKNOWN/' However, because of scientific experiment, the third question can be answered with an emphatic "NO."

Okay so Ive broken down and turned to you people for not an answer but maybe a solution. 6 months ago I gave birth to my second child and we want to make his first xmas speical. I also have a 13 yr old daughter who is as I type this once again in the Pedi ICU battling her lung disease. We do not honestly know how much more time or how many more holidays we will have with my little angel. She told us she wanted "lots and lots of lights" so when it was -20 degree's outside her stepfather and I put the baby down for a nap and went outside to freeze our butts off to grant her this wish, which she will see when she comes home {hoping before xmas} anyhow our neighbors are just outraged at us. We live in a very upscale neighbor hood and both sides of us have told us we have gone over board and should remove some of the lights. It is not tacky at all just icecicle lights on the house, porch, privacy fence, bushs and a few lawn orniments and lighted candycanes.

OK, I just gotta know..... I'm from the south but everytime I meet a New Yorker they have this incredible beaming attitude / bond for one another and the city that I have never seen before from any other place.

So my question is: What makes New York so special and what do you love about it?

Why do people say things like this? What is the purpose? Is it the chant of some ritual?

To me, happiness is temporary but contentment in long lasting. For example, happiness can be when the sun is shining, traffic is good, and you get good parking spaces. Contentment is when your health is good, children behaving, and your relationship is working well.

Ok ahieists. Why is it that you think that you can tell us we are wrong but be damn if we ever say it? Just becuase we have something to believe in and chose to do so dosen't mean we are in the wrong for wanting to share it. Why is it that you ahieists, when trying to prove us wrong in religon always refer to the "big Bang" theory? Where is YOUR proof?? Seeing as tho you always seem to ask us Chtistians for ours. If you begin to ask me where my proof is, here it is. My Grandmother on her death bed. Docters could do NOTHNG, gave here so little time to live. I droped to my knees and prayed. Asked God to help her. Within a week she was able to walk. Docters to this day have no clue as to what happened. I know what happend. that was 7 years ago and she is this with us today. Now there is my proof. Where is yours on the "big bang"???

According to the Bible, the only unforgiveable sin is blaspheme against the Holy Spirt (Luke 12:10).

You can't really experience God directly, and Jesus died almost 2000 years ago BUT the Holy Spirit is right here and now.


But suppose you try to feel the Holy Spirit, and you don't...

Suppose thoughts enter into your mind that you don't feel the Holy Spirit and you realize that others may just be delusioning theselves into thinking that they feel the Holy Spirit...

Then suppose you realize that there is no more reason or evidence to believe in the Holy Spirit than there is to believe in pink unicorns...

Then you realize, 'haven't I just blasphemied the Holy Spirit?'

Readers may be interested to know that these wreaths -- some 5,000 -- are donated by the Worcester Wreath Co. of Harrington, Maine. The owner, Merrill Worcester, not only provides the wreaths, but covers the trucking expense as well. He's done this since 1992. If interested call Arlington to confirm-I believe it's section 27

I'm folding the napkins very simply. They are just folded into rectangles to be placed under the fork on the left. Which way should the fold face? Toward the plate or away from it?
