If you have father, why son and holy spirit. Why should you go to father through son? Why ask mother mary to request jesus to request god the father for forgiveness (dont quote from bible, use simple human logic)

I've wanted one for a long time since I've recommitted my life to Christ. I tried to order one online but that didn't work out well so I'd rather not go that route again. Are there any actual stores that sell fairly inexpensive ones that are still pretty? (like $20-30 range, as I'm a college student and short on money) I'm guessing regular jewelry stores don't have them, but I'm not sure. Any ideas would be helpful!

I myself am a scientist and a creationist

i'm sure there will be a number of atheist answer too so for you guys I'll leave this
- the fosil record does not prove it - lots and lots of gaps and not one "missing link" fosil has ever been found
- DNA homolgy does not prove it - this only tells us that similar functioning parts are made from a similar blue print not that one must have come from another
- Embryogensis doesnt prove it - those picture you might have seen in Bio 101 text books that show we all develop the same in utero but then only at the end we change - was shown to be false only a few years later - btw that was done in the 1890s
- Early atmopheric science doesnt prove it - the experiment you probably remember from the 1950s - where someone "made" amino acids from a "supe" was shown only 10 years later that the atmosphere used was most likely wrong - nobody in that field today believes that was a correct assumption of early earths atomosphere

If Satan is evil, and evil people are sent to hell, won't he praise them rather than punish them?

To me, there's nothing quite as amusing as someone asserting they know there's no "God" and that those who believe in a God are demonstrating ignorance, stupidity, or worse.

Many atheists claim that science is the only yardstick for measuring what is real. They confidently assert that if science can't prove God exists, then God simply can't exist; end of story. Such people then assert they are "atheist," apparently without a clue as to how exponentially more ignorant and stupid such an assertion is than even the most foolish religious dogmas.

Consider: The very "mechanisms" science uses to "prove" things, concepts like consciousness, the validity of thought, personal experience, reality, the origin of the universe itself— haven't been proven let alone correctly explained! Science can't "prove" ANY OF THEM ARE MATERIAL, let alone explain them factually.

So what is it then, that Atheists use to correctly determine they're right to accept the idea there is no Creator? No God?

I am a praticing buddhist, mainly thervadian Buddhism, I have "been" a Buddhist for about 7 years now. My question is basically, what is the significance of being reborn on your birthday. Ex I was born on Jan 28 1985. I have never found any info in any of the cannons about this. And I'm too scared to ask the local monk about this.But I was just wondering what do you guy's think? And More to the point it doesn't have to be strictly about a Buddhist answer but it would be great, I'm open to anything.

why is obedience without understanding a "blindness"? Can it be dangerous to obey blindly without understanging what you are doing and why you are doing it?

I know that many ancient civilizations recorded a flood. The Mayans are one.

Do you really believe that the ark story happened? I do not.

If God killed all the people and animals, why couldn't He just recreate in 6 days or whatever?

Ten percent of male sheep (rams) are apparently gay, & scientists are trying to maket them straight. (Link below)

FINDINGS: The hypothalmus in the brain is smaller in gay rams. By giving baby rams hormones, they have some success in making them straight.

While the "treatment" often works, it doesn't always.

CHRISTIAN DILEMMAS:

1. Gay men also have smaller hypothalmuses, indicating a biological basis for mammalian homosexuality.

2. Human prenatal test will be developed to show if baby boys might be gay. Parents who don't want to raise gay children may abort their fetuses.

3. Ram treatment sometimes fails; the goal is only to produce more sheep. If given to humans, the hormones must be given to children. There may be physical or behavioral side effects, & many will still grow up gay.

?s:
Do Christians support such research?

Does biology contribute to gayness?

Are gay people part of God's plan?

Are such abortions justified?

Should experiments on at-risk children take place?

A question for those who believe. Do you believe that as a Christian, besides showing up for church every SUNDAY, are your works pleasing in his sight. If he cracked the sky today, do you think you'd be ready? Please be respectful in your answers, thank you!

Is it possible to fit the pairs (male and female) of all kinds of land animals and birds on the Ark? What about those that came in 7's as well?
(The answer must give a detailed calculation. Remember to include all invertebrates as well as vertebrates, food and water, internal support structures in the ark, and neccesary environmental controls. Remember to include all kinds of cattle).

Explain the meaning of the word "kind".

How were there pairs, male and female, of social (forming colonies), parthenogenic (female only) and hermaphroditic (both sexes in one individual) animals?
