The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology, 6th ed.
Keith L. Moore, Ph.D. & T.V.N. Persaud, Md., (Philadelphia: W.B. Saunders Company, 1998), 2-18.

"[The Zygote] results from the union of an oocyte and a sperm. A zygote is the beginning of a new human being. Human development begins at fertilization, the process during which a male gamete or sperm ... unites with a female gamete or oocyte ... to form a single cell called a zygote. This highly specialized, totipotent cell marks the beginning of each of us as a unique individual."

If Mohammed was truy a prophet, he would have set better examples. If Allah was a true god, he would know that Mohammed would be called a pedophile in the future. How could Allah allow his last messenger to be called a pedophile in the future? Was it necessary for Mohammed to have married a 9 year old little girl and result in being called a pedophile later on?

Character defects like these and many other factors, such as the absence of miracles in Quran disqualify Mohammed as being the last messenger of God.

It doesn't make sense does it?

Because they can literally create another person within them and release it? Why didn't more of the major religions worship the female since it would seem she would be closer to divinity in this light?

I heard some time ago (my dear Mother) that if you see seagulls inland over a period of time that it can be a sign of bad weather on the way?
(I do believe in this because one year I was in Lincs and I saw some seagulls and seven hours later they had a severe blizzard-1986)
Is it true? Thank you

(Continued question) that they were written hundreds of years ago and were based on primitive like times and during a war like stage.

Everytime a new religon was born hundreds of years ago, war raged against it.

Such as what happened to the Jew's and Christians.

When the religon Islam was born war raged against it as it did with other religons that had been founded.

So those Verses in the Quaran based on fighting Non Believers are based on the war that was put against Islam when it was founded.

Yet deranged idiotic lunatics misinterpreted the verse(s) and with it they created the 9/11 tradgedy and brought a new founded racism towards Islam.

Even if there are violent verses in the Quaran, there are only quite a few and they're based on the war that was set ages ago.

I, for one, don't believe in hurting anyone, including Non Muslims (ect.). (Im a Muslim)

And what more, the rest of the Quaran is peaceful and yet everyone seems to ignore that -

Yesterday in my history class two of my female students were talking. One is a Black and one is Hispanic. They were not talking to me, but while taking role I overheard this interesting exchange. The Black student asked the Hispanic student why so many Mexican girls are named "Maria"? The Hispanic girl was stunned at this innocent question and told her she shouldn't ask that because it was racist. The Black girl wrinkled her nose and said, "It is? What is racist about asking that?" The Mexican girl was stumbling to explain how it was racist. She never could tell her.

Of course there was NOTHING racist in the least about that innocent question, but it got me to thinking. What are some legitimate questions about race that "society" says we shouldn't ask because they are improper, rude, or racist? I don't plan to answer these questions, I would just be curious (hence my name) about what some of these taboo questions are.

A common argument against gay marriage is that calling two men "married" is an "insult to my marriage". What does that mean?

Presumably, there are many marriages you don't agree with. When a young stripper marries an old man for his fortune, should that not be called a "marriage" because it's an insult to your own? And really, is two people in a close and loving relationship more offensive than a golddigger and a man who's willing to pay for a sexy young wife, if those two people are the same sex?

Also, why should laws be made based on whether or not you consider the result to be insulting? I think lots of laws are insulting, but gay marriage is the only one I've seen with any real opposition. Why is that?

Considering that in many parts of the world, they have a much different calendar than we do, not even in the same year as us, nevermind the same day - we have leap years, daylight savings, etc., how do we know when is truly the sabbath? Anotherwords, as long as one decides to set the same day aside to worship God, whether it is on Sat. or on Sun., does it really matter?

There seems to be a lot of controversy on this topic amongst religions and I just think that there really is no right/wrong answer. If your workweek starts on Mon., than wouldnt your sabbath be on Sunday for you?

Is it because gays have been parading around on public streets demanding "respect" or "fighting stereotypes", wearing underwear, chaps, thongs, feathers, leather, chains, uniforms, strap ons, etc.? Is YA a proper venue for censored questions in merit? Would it not be wise for everyone to lighten up and ask questions about the secrets of gelato ?
