The teacher grabbed the kid, took him to the principals office and started yelling at him for having a Bible in school (it's not against the law) and reading it. She then took the kids Bible and threw it in the waste can. Question: What if that were the Koran? What if it was the Koran the student was reading and not the Bible and the teacher did the same thing. In todays society, would this "non-muslim" teacher have her @ss in a jam? The ALCU supposedly jumped on this case in favor of the teacher implying she did the right thing. Would they do the same thing if it were the Koran? Please answer the question and not make a remark only.

Darwin was merely the first person that suggested that life develops though natural selection.

He did not develop evolution. That was done by thousands of Biologists over the past 100 years.
Darwin did not know that all mammals on earth have three bones in their ear
He did not know that Humans share over 95% of our DNA with most primates
He did not know about the Temporal fenestra, which groups us in the same Class as Dinosaurs and other reptiles.
He had no clue about amniotic egg, which is a biological function that allows all land animals to give birth on land, instead of in water like Amphibians and fish.

I could go on, but he had nothing to do with this. This was all documented in the past century. Much of it in the past 20 years.

According to the Gallup poll, 1/3 of Americans believe that the Bible is literally the word of god and should be taken literally word for word. How does this make you feel? Personally it makes me scared that the world could be filled with such ignorance.

Is "España estuvo influido por Islam" correct or is there another way to say "Spain was influenced by Islam"? Thanks.

Evolution does exist, and to say it does not shows tremendous ignorance to scientific evidence. Not only does it exist, but after a general understanding of genetics and simple reasoning, it's obvious. Not only is it obvious, but evidence in the form of fossils, comparitive anatomy, embriology, etc is overwhelming. It is "only a theory," but so is all of science, and a theory is HEAVILY BACKED explanation that has withstood time. Evolution is FACT among the scientific community, who do a poor job of communicating to the general public.

I have nothing against Christianity. But just because a book says everything was created in six days does not mean it was literally created in six days. And evolution does not oppose religion.

So my questions is why. Why do so many people (more than half of Americans) disagree with evolution, and embrace its pseudoscience alternatives - creationism and Intelligent Design? Are they stupid, or have they been poorly educated about the topic?

i cant say everyone but almost everyone conforms too much to society which is usually not good in the first place. its just that no one these days is an individual they just try to copy everyone else who probably copied off something else. even goths who say they are nonconformasts are conforming to not conformings so they are conforming to something. i myself am an individual and conform to what i like and think is good and right. so what if i listen to classical music and i hate rap (i listen to every type of music but rap), ill wear a shirt with a "wierd" design from 1990, why should people care. now this is my philosophy and tell me if this statement makes sense: people can do what ever they want to do to the point of not hurting or annoying someone else to the point where they cannot do anything about it, in some situations though, people will have to compromise.

I saw a similar question answered here. The person was told to use their current city, but they had lived in the current city the longest (30 years). My situation is the opposite. I have only lived in my current city four years. I lived in my previous city eight years and prior to that, my birth city 28 years.

I know this person who tries to sound deep, but all that I want to do is strangle him with my computer mouse; why are people like this and is there a way to get him to shut up with his pseudo-deep self? I already pointed it out, but he is so into himself he can't even see it.

Look at depictions of Jesus Christ for instance.
Depictions of angels...
Ask a man about his favorite type of women...
Even indian, asians, and blacks desire white women.
Wether you admit it or not, our mind always associates beauty with fair skin and colored eyes. The question is "WHY"?

I am from Europe and I am hearing in the news that there is a "battle'' going on in USA about whether the theory of evolution is ok to be taught in schools. I don't understand. Isn't school suppose to teach science and church to teach religion? Don't people want to believe in God not because of luck of information and ignorance but because they choose to believe?

If all men REALLY want is sex sex sex, doesnt it make more sense to hire a prostitute, call girl whatever, then you get exactly what you pay for, and not wonder after spending $$ on a date and possibly not score. I think hounds should go that route, what do you think? seriously.... then you don't have to wine/dine and lie to a woman that really wants something heartfelt. Is going to a prostitute really so bad?

If the land really does is in fact belong to Israel and it will be returned to Israel because God said so, show us how much faith you really have. We believe so strongly in our God that we'll just let Palestine have the land and put all of our trust and faith in our Lord. Wouldn't that be the true test of faith in God?

My husband and I are having a debate about something. He told me a real man's job is to sit o nthe couch all day while the woman cleaned. I told him a real man's job is to take care of his woman. I remember reading a verse as a child saying that woman did indeed take care of the husband but so did the husband. I told him it said it in the bible but he doesn't believe me. Am I going bonkers? Or does it say something like that in the bible? If so can you show me the verse? He hasn't helped clean the house since we've been married!

What if you died and the religion you followed all your life was the wrong one?

Do you think God should allow you in heaven for all your past deeds or condem you in hell for eternity for worshipping the wrong God?


Please dont answer, " i know in my heart of hearts that my religion is true bla bla bla....."

This is a "What if" question.
