Did man actually evolve from an ape? If so, why is it that apes are not extinct? Why is it we still live in harmony with them? When will the rest of the apes evolve? I believe that God created the ape, just as he created man, the earth, and all the other animals. Was it not Noah that loaded two apes on the ark? Evolution actually sounds silly when you think about it. What do you believe?

were forced to answer them. If I don't like a question, I simply ignore it. You can control people with your words, but only if they allow it.

I am an older man (over 40) I hang out with boys in their late teens. I sometimes have feelings for them, but I try to not let them know. Should I make "moves" on them. Would taking them to a waterpark so I can see them shirtless be considered weird?

Noah would get credit for discovering America instead of the vikings or Columbus. Noah could take credit for discovering the pacific ocean prior to Balboa in 1513.

Would they teach this "new" history in Kansas ? (for starters.)

I saw a reference to this many years ago and believe that the suggested meaning for the first line was 'And gave birth in the open' with lines 4&3 rendered as 'de collibus, descendens' which translated as 'coming down from the hills'. I do not recall any other lines being given in the source I first saw. It seems to me that the Latin words are too similar to the subsequent English version to be a coincidence and it certainly seems more fascinating that perhaps the original may have been a Latin carol rather than,as I have subsequently been told, some secret aide-memoire to Catholic doctrine during periods of persecution.

Looking for a course in Punjabi, but most makers of language courses only seem to deal in European languages, can anyone recommend a good place to find Asian ones? Thankyou.

To mention one aspect I can think of the above question,

Do gay men view men more sexually than straight women?

And,

Do staight women tend to look for men that would be better partners in raising family ( strong, providable, masculine characters ) while gay men tend to look for more...'pretty' ( for lack of a better word ) personalities?

i.e. do straight women and gay men have similar tastes in men? ( Perhaps that one is pointless since every one has their taste )

Or is too much coffee at work here? *looks doubtfully at his coffee*

OT, she'ole
NT, Hades/Hell

Also why would they call it Hades since this is obviously a carbon copy of the Greek afterlife?

If an idol is a false image of God, is it worse to have a limited view of God in the form of a statue... or ... a limited view of God as something alloof and unforgiving and how do you get a true view of God.

I do. What's wrong with it? God loves everyone, why does he hate gays? Why would/should they not go to heaven? The bible never says that people of the same sex cannot be married. God only created men and women.

I'm very interested in volunteering with an organization involved with creating awareness and fund raising for cleft palate and lip causes. Some US based organizations such a Smiletrain and Operationsmile seem to only take only medical volunteers such as qualified surgeons. CLAPA (http://www.clapa.com/clapa.html) seems like a great place but they only operate in the UK and Northern Ireland. Can you think of other US organizations for volunteering?
